      gpiolib: allow poll() on value · ff77c352
      Daniel Glöckner authored 
      

Many gpio chips allow to generate interrupts when the value of a pin
changes.  This patch gives usermode application the opportunity to make
use of this feature by calling poll(2) on the /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/value
sysfs file.  The edge to trigger can be set in the edge file in the same
directory.  Possible values are "none", "rising", "falling", and "both".

Using level triggers is not possible with current sysfs since nothing
changes the GPIO value (and the IRQ keeps triggering).  Edge triggering
will "just work".  Note that if there was an event between read() and
poll(), the poll() returns immediately.

Also note that this version only supports true GPIO interrupts.  Some
later patch might be able to synthesize this behavior by timer-driven
polling; some systems seem to need that.

      LinuxPPS: core support · eae9d2ba
      Rodolfo Giometti authored 
      

This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
"LinuxPPS".

PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
use it to adjust system clock time.

Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
synchronisation to UTC.

To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch.  It
provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
get the time signal.  The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
to these char devices.

      ext4: teach the inode allocator to use a goal inode number · 11013911
      Andreas Dilger authored 
      

Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a
paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or
parent directory inode allocation algorithms.

The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the
extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg.
In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to
allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes.

Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via
/sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal.  This can be useful for testing inode
allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.

      cciss: add cciss driver sysfs entries · 7fe06326
      Andrew Patterson authored 
      

Add sysfs entries to the cciss driver needed for the dm/multipath tools.

A file for vendor, model, rev, and unique_id is added for each logical
drive under directory /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/ccissX/cXdY.  Where X =
the controller (or host) number and Y is the logical drive number.

A link from /sys/bus/pci/devices/<dev>/ccissX/cXdY/block:cciss!cXdY to
/sys/block/cciss!cXdY/device is also created.  A bus is created in
/sys/bus/cciss.  A link is created from the pci ccissX entry to
/sys/bus/cciss/devices/ccissX.  Please consider this for inclusion.

      block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitions · c72758f3
      Martin K. Petersen authored 
      

To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment.  This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.

  logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address.

  physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write
  without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.

  The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
  the device.  In many cases this is the same as the physical block
  size.  However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking
  (RAID5 chunk size > physical block size).

  The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
  the device.  This is usually the stripe width for arrays.

  The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start
  of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment.
  Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets
  so filesystems start on proper boundaries.

      regulator: add get_status() · 853116a1
      David Brownell authored 
      

Based on previous LKML discussions:

 * Update docs for regulator sysfs class attributes to highlight
   the fact that all current attributes are intended to be control
   inputs, including notably "state" and "opmode" which previously
   implied otherwise.

 * Define a new regulator driver get_status() method, which is the
   first method reporting regulator outputs instead of inputs.
   It can report on/off and error status; or instead of simply
   "on", report the actual operating mode.

For the moment, this is a sysfs-only interface, not accessible to
regulator clients.  Such clients can use the current notification
interfaces to detect errors, if the regulator reports them.

      regulator: sysfs attribute reduction (v2) · 7ad68e2f
      David Brownell authored 
      

Clean up the sysfs interface to regulators by only exposing the
attributes that can be properly displayed.  For example: when a
particular regulator method is needed to display the value, only
create that attribute when that method exists.

This cleaned-up interface is much more comprehensible.  Most
regulators only support a subset of the possible methods, so
often more than half the attributes would be meaningless.  Many
"not defined" values are no longer necessary.  (But handling
of out-of-range values still looks a bit iffy.)

Documentation is updated to reflect that few of the attributes
are *always* present, and to briefly explain why a regulator may
not have a given attribute.

This adds object code, about a dozen bytes more than was removed
by the preceding patch, but saves a bunch of per-regulator data
associated with the now-removed attributes.  So there's a net
reduction in memory footprint.

      mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs · c04fc586
      Gary Hade authored 
      

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs

Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX.  For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.

Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.

In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
  - Provides information needed to determine the specific node
    on which a defective DIMM is located.  This will reduce system
    downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
  - Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
    previously offlined due to a defective DIMM.  This could happen
    during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
    onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
    to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
    node.  The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
    could be ugly.
  - Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
    of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
  - Will provide information needed to identify the memory
    sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
    of a specific node.

Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems.  Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

      uwb: add basic radio manager · 6fae35f9
      David Vrabel authored 
      

The UWB radio manager coordinates the use of the radio between the
PALs that may be using it.  PALs request use of the radio with
uwb_radio_start() and the radio manager will start beaconing if its
not already doing so.  When the last PAL has called uwb_radio_stop()
beaconing will be stopped.

In the future, the radio manager will have a more sophisticated channel
selection algorithm, probably following the Channel Selection Policy
from the WiMedia Alliance when it is finalized.  For now, channel 9
(BG1, TFC1) is selected.

The user may override the channel selected by the radio manager and may
force the radio to stop beaconing.

The WUSB Host Controller PAL makes use of this and there are two new
debug PAL commands that can be used for testing.

      ACPI: bugfix reporting of event handler status · ed206fac
      Zhang Rui authored 
      

Introduce a new flag showing whether the event has an event handler/method.

For all the GPEs and Fixed Events,
 1. ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE is cleared, it's an "invalid" ACPI event.
 2. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE are set,
    it's "disabled".
 3. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_ENABLE are set,
    it's "enabled".
 4. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_WAKE_ENABLE are set,
    it's "wake_enabled".

Among other things, this prevents incorrect reporting of ACPI events
as being "invalid" when it's really just (temporarily) "disabled".
