2010-10-22SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layoutAndi Kleen
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them. This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option on the command line. The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing config files. Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code look nicer. v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems and that seems to work.

2010-10-22Dynamic Debug: Introduce ddebug_query= boot parameterThomas Renninger
Dynamic debug lacks the ability to enable debug messages at boot time. One could patch initramfs or service startup scripts to write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control, but this sucks. This patch makes it possible to pass a query in the same format one can write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control via boot param. When dynamic debug gets initialized, this query will automatically be applied.

2010-08-24PCI: PCIe: Ask BIOS for control of all native services at onceRafael J. Wysocki
After commit 852972acff8f10f3a15679be2059bb94916cba5d (ACPI: Disable ASPM if the platform won't provide _OSC control for PCIe) control of the PCIe Capability Structure is unconditionally requested by acpi_pci_root_add(), which in principle may cause problems to happen in two ways. First, the BIOS may refuse to give control of the PCIe Capability Structure if it is not asked for any of the _OSC features depending on it at the same time. Second, the BIOS may assume that control of the _OSC features depending on the PCIe Capability Structure will be requested in the future and may behave incorrectly if that doesn't happen. For this reason, control of the PCIe Capability Structure should always be requested along with control of any other _OSC features that may depend on it (ie. PCIe native PME, PCIe native hot-plug, PCIe AER). Rework the PCIe port driver so that (1) it checks which native PCIe port services can be enabled, according to the BIOS, and (2) it requests control of all these services simultaneously. In particular, this causes pcie_portdrv_probe() to fail if the BIOS refuses to grant control of the PCIe Capability Structure, which means that no native PCIe port services can be enabled for the PCIe Root Complex the given port belongs to. If that happens, ASPM is disabled to avoid problems with mishandling it by the part of the PCIe hierarchy for which control of the PCIe Capability Structure has not been received. Make it possible to override this behavior using 'pcie_ports=native' (use the PCIe native services regardless of the BIOS response to the control request), or 'pcie_ports=compat' (do not use the PCIe native services at all). Accordingly, rework the existing PCIe port service drivers so that they don't request control of the services directly. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2010-08-23x86, vmware: Remove deprecated VMI kernel supportAlok Kataria
With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform. These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this feature from the hypervisor. Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels still work fine on VMware's platform. Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are, Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence releases for these products will continue supporting VMI. For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this, http://blogs.vmware.com/guestosguide/2009/09/vmi-retirement.html This feature removal was scheduled for 2.6.37 back in September 2009.

2010-08-23xen: pvhvm: rename xen_emul_unplug=ignore to =unnnecessaryIan Campbell
It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become ignored. The actual meaning is that it is not necessary to unplug the emulated devices to safely use the PV ones, even if the platform does not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is safe). I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

2010-08-11panic: keep blinking in spite of long spin timer modeTAMUKI Shoichi
To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the current implementation only spins on long time (1 second) calls to mdelay. That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't blink at all on that situation. This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode. The time to call to mdelay is now 100ms. Even this change will keep panic_timeout accuracy enough when running under a hypervisor.

2010-07-30x86/PCI: Add option to not assign BAR's if not already assignedMike Habeck
The Linux kernel assigns BARs that a BIOS did not assign, most likely to handle broken BIOSes that didn't enumerate the devices correctly. On UV the BIOS purposely doesn't assign I/O BARs for certain devices/ drivers we know don't use them (examples, LSI SAS, Qlogic FC, ...). We purposely don't assign these I/O BARs because I/O Space is a very limited resource. There is only 64k of I/O Space, and in a PCIe topology that space gets divided up into 4k chucks (this is due to the fact that a pci-to-pci bridge's I/O decoder is aligned at 4k)... Thus a system can have at most 16 cards with I/O BARs: (64k / 4k = 16) SGI needs to scale to >16 devices with I/O BARs. So by not assigning I/O BARs on devices we know don't use them, we can do that (iff the kernel doesn't go and assign these BARs that the BIOS purposely didn't assign). This patch will not assign a resource to a device BAR if that BAR was not assigned by the BIOS, and the kernel cmdline option 'pci=nobar' was specified. This patch is closely modeled after the 'pci=norom' option that currently exists in the tree.

2010-07-26x86: Unplug emulated disks and nics.Stefano Stabellini
Add a xen_emul_unplug command line option to the kernel to unplug xen emulated disks and nics. Set the default value of xen_emul_unplug depending on whether or not the Xen PV frontends and the Xen platform PCI driver have been compiled for this kernel (modules or built-in are both OK). The user can specify xen_emul_unplug=ignore to enable PV drivers on HVM even if the host platform doesn't support unplug.

2010-07-24ACPI / Sleep: Allow the NVS saving to be skipped during suspend to RAMRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 2a6b69765ad794389f2fc3e14a0afa1a995221c2 (ACPI: Store NVS state even when entering suspend to RAM) caused the ACPI suspend code save the NVS area during suspend and restore it during resume unconditionally, although it is known that some systems need to use acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs for hibernation to work. To allow the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area during suspend to RAM and resume, introduce kernel command line option acpi_sleep=nonvs and make acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs work as its alias temporarily (add acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs to the feature removal file).

2010-06-18PCI/PM: Do not use native PCIe PME by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Commit c7f486567c1d0acd2e4166c47069835b9f75e77b (PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver) causes the native PCIe PME signaling to be used by default, if the BIOS allows the kernel to control the standard configuration registers of PCIe root ports. However, the native PCIe PME is coupled to the native PCIe hotplug and calling pcie_pme_acpi_setup() makes some BIOSes expect that the native PCIe hotplug will be used as well. That, in turn, causes problems to appear on systems where the PCIe hotplug driver is not loaded. The usual symptom, as reported by Jaroslav Kameník and others, is that the ACPI GPE associated with PCIe hotplug keeps firing continuously causing kacpid to take substantial percentage of CPU time. To work around this issue, change the default so that the native PCIe PME signaling is only used if directly requested with the help of the pcie_pme= command line switch. Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15924 , which is a listed regression from 2.6.33. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
