2010-12-29of/flattree: Add non-boottime device tree functionsStephen Neuendorffer
In preparation for providing run-time handling of device trees, factor out some of the basic functions so that they take an arbitrary blob, rather than relying on the single boot-time tree. V2: - functions have of_fdt_* names - removed find_flat_dt_string - blob argument is first Signed-off-by: Stephen Neuendorffer <stephen.neuendorffer@xilinx.com> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
2010-12-29of/flattree: Add Kconfig for EARLY_FLATTREEStephen Neuendorffer
The device tree code is now in two pieces: some which can be used generically on any platform which selects CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE, and some early which is used at boot time on only a few architectures. This patch segregates the early code so that only those architectures which care about it need compile it. This also means that some of the requirements in the early code (such as a cmd_line variable) that most architectures (e.g. X86) don't provide can be ignored.

2010-12-23of/address: use proper endianess in get_flagsSebastian Andrzej Siewior
This patch changes u32 to __be32 for all "ranges", "prop" and "addr" and such. Those variables are pointing to the device tree which contains integers in big endian format. Most functions are doing it right because of_read_number() is doing the right thing for them. of_bus_isa_get_flags(), of_bus_pci_get_flags() and of_bus_isa_map() were accessing the data directly and were doing it wrong.

2010-12-23of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinuxDirk Brandewie
This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking .dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image. Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to wrap the blobs for linking. STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib. The STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition. The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob to get the structure alignment GCC expects. A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using obj-y += foo.dtb.o Signed-off-by: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@gmail.com> Acked-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> [grant.likely@secretlab.ca: cleaned up whitespace inconsistencies] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

2010-12-17arch/tile: handle rt_sigreturn() more cleanlyChris Metcalf
The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI "return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs for r0. However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks, since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register. Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register" hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0. Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2010-12-17arch/tile: handle CLONE_SETTLS in copy_thread(), not user spaceChris Metcalf
Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing this exactly the way all other architectures do it.) This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more, so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org>

Fix a regression where bttv driver causes oopses when loading, since it were using some non-initialized mutexes. While it would be possible to fix the issue, there are some other lock troubles, like to the presence of lock code at free_btres_lock(). It is possible to fix, but the better is to just use the core-assisted locking schema. This way, V4L2 core will serialize access to all ioctl's/open/close/mmap/read/poll operations, avoiding to have two processes accessing the hardware at the same time. Also, as there's just one lock, instead of 3, there's no risk of dead locks. The net result is a cleaner code, with just one lock.

2010-12-17x86: avoid E820 regions when allocating address spaceBjorn Helgaas
When we allocate address space, e.g., to assign it to a PCI device, don't allocate anything mentioned in the BIOS E820 memory map. On recent machines (2008 and newer), we assign PCI resources from the windows described by the ACPI PCI host bridge _CRS. On many Dell machines, these windows overlap some E820 reserved areas, e.g., BIOS-e820: 00000000bfe4dc00 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved) pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff] If we put devices at 0xbff00000, they don't work, probably because that's really RAM, not I/O memory. This patch prevents that by removing the 0xbfe4dc00-0xbfffffff area from the "available" resource. I'm not very happy with this solution because Windows solves the problem differently (it seems to ignore E820 reserved areas and it allocates top-down instead of bottom-up; details at comment 45 of the bugzilla below). That means we're vulnerable to BIOS defects that Windows would not trip over. For example, if BIOS described a device in ACPI but didn't mention it in E820, Windows would work fine but Linux would fail. Reference: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16228 Acked-by: H.

2010-12-17x86: avoid low BIOS area when allocating address spaceBjorn Helgaas
This implements arch_remove_reservations() so allocate_resource() can avoid any arch-specific reserved areas. This currently just avoids the BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if that turns out to be necessary. We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource(). This patch moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all* resource allocations will avoid this area. Acked-by: H.

2010-12-17resources: add arch hook for preventing allocation in reserved areasBjorn Helgaas
This adds arch_remove_reservations(), which an arch can implement if it needs to protect part of the address space from allocation. Sometimes that can be done by just putting a region in the resource tree, but there are cases where that doesn't work well. For example, x86 BIOS E820 reservations are not related to devices, so they may overlap part of, all of, or more than a device resource, so they may not end up at the correct spot in the resource tree.
