2012-05-21ARM: integrate CMA with DMA-mapping subsystemMarek Szyprowski
This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for ARM architecture. By default a global CMA area is used, but specific devices are allowed to have their private memory areas if required (they can be created with dma_declare_contiguous() function during board initialisation). Contiguous memory areas reserved for DMA are remapped with 2-level page tables on boot. Once a buffer is requested, a low memory kernel mapping is updated to to match requested memory access type. GFP_ATOMIC allocations are performed from special pool which is created early during boot. This way remapping page attributes is not needed on allocation time. CMA has been enabled unconditionally for ARMv6+ systems.

2012-05-21drivers: add Contiguous Memory AllocatorMarek Szyprowski
The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks. CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with MIGRATE_CMA migrate type and gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate only movable pages within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for page cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On dma_alloc_from_contiguous() request such pages are migrated out of CMA area to free required contiguous block and fulfill the request. This allows to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory at any time assuming that there is enough free memory available in the system. This code is heavily based on earlier works by Michal Nazarewicz.

2012-05-17MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.Paul Gortmaker
Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series. This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in carrying this any further into the future. One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

2012-04-30PCI: work around Stratus ftServer broken PCIe hierarchyBjorn Helgaas
A PCIe downstream port is a P2P bridge. Its secondary interface is a link that should lead only to device 0 (unless ARI is enabled)[1], so we don't probe for non-zero device numbers. Some Stratus ftServer systems have a PCIe downstream port (02:00.0) that leads to both an upstream port (03:00.0) and a downstream port (03:01.0), and 03:01.0 has important devices below it: [0000:02]-+-00.0-[03-3c]--+-00.0-[04-09]--... \-01.0-[0a-0d]--+-[USB] +-[NIC] +-... Previously, we didn't enumerate device 03:01.0, so USB and the network didn't work. This patch adds a DMI quirk to scan all device numbers, not just 0, below a downstream port.

git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel into drm-core-next Daniel Vetter wrote First pull request for 3.5-next, slightly large than usual because new things kept coming in since the last pull for 3.4. Highlights: - first batch of hw enablement for vlv (Jesse et al) and hsw (Eugeni). pci ids are not yet added, and there's still quite a few patches to merge (mostly modesetting). To make QA easier I've decided to merge this stuff in pieces. - loads of cleanups and prep patches spurred by the above. Especially vlv is a real frankenstein chip, but also hsw is stretching our driver's code design. Expect more to come in this area for 3.5. - more gmbus fixes, cleanups and improvements by Daniel Kurtz. Again, there are more patches needed (and some already queued up), but I wanted to split this a bit for better testing. - pwrite/pread rework and retuning. This series has been in the works for a few months already and a lot of i-g-t tests have been created for it. Now it's finally ready to be merged. Note that one patch in this series touches include/pagemap.h, that patch is acked-by akpm. - reduce mappable pressure and relocation throughput improvements from Chris. - mmap offset exhaustion mitigation by Chris Wilson. - a start at figuring out which codepaths in our messy dri1/ums+gem/kms driver we actually need to support by bailing out of unsupported case. The driver now refuses to load without kms on gen6+ and disallows a few ioctls that userspace never used in certain cases. More of this will definitely come. - More decoupling of global gtt and ppgtt. - Improved dual-link lvds detection by Takashi Iwai. - Shut up the compiler + plus fix the fallout (Ben) - Inverted panel brightness handling (mostly Acer manages to break things in this way). - Small fixlets and adjustements and some minor things to help debugging. Regression-wise QA reported quite a few issues on ivb, but all of them turned out to be hw stability issues which are already fixed in drm-intel-fixes (QA runs the nightly regression tests on -next alone, without -fixes automatically merged in). There's still one issue open on snb, it looks like occlusion query writes are not quite as cache coherent as we've expected. With some of the pwrite adjustements we can now reliably hit this.

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields: Highlights: - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features, moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation. - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on ext2/3/4. - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility for further improvements. - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x. Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup. Thanks to everyone! There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).

2012-03-26nfsd4: allow numeric idmappingJ. Bruce Fields
Mimic the client side by providing a module parameter that turns off idmapping in the auth_sys case, for backwards compatibility with NFSv2 and NFSv3. Unlike in the client case, we don't have any way to negotiate, since the client can return an error to us if it doesn't like the id that we return to it in (for example) a getattr call. However, it has always been possible for servers to return numeric id's, and as far as we're aware clients have always been able to handle them. Also, in the auth_sys case clients already need to have numeric id's the same between client and server. Therefore we believe it's safe to default this to on; but the module parameter is available to return to previous behavior if this proves to be a problem in some unexpected setup. Signed-off-by: J.

This contains a patch that is also in the fbdev tree, but it should be the same patch, it added an API for hot unplugging framebuffer devices, and I need that API for a new driver. It also contains some changes to the i2c tree which Jean has acked, and one change to moorestown platform stuff in x86. Highlights: - new drivers: UDL driver for USB displaylink devices, kms only, should support correct hotplug operations. - core: i2c speedups + better hotplug support, EDID overriding via firmware interface - allows user to load a firmware for a broken monitor/kvm from userspace, it even has documentation for it. - exynos: new HDMI audio + hdmi 1.4 + virtual output driver - gma500: code cleanup - radeon: cleanups, CS optimisations, streamout support and pageflip fix - nouveau: NVD9 displayport support + more reclocking work - i915: re-enabling GMBUS, finish gpu patch (might help hibernation who knows), missed irq fixes, stencil tiling fixes, interlaced support, aliasesd PPGTT support for SNB/IVB, swizzling for SNB/IVB, semaphore fixes As well as the usual bunch of cleanups and fixes all over the place. I've got two things I'd like to merge a bit later: a) AMD support for all their new radeonhd 7000 series GPU and APUs. AMD dropped this a bit late due to insane internal review processes, (please AMD just follow Intel and let open source guys ship stuff early) however I don't want to penalise people who own this hardware (since its been on sale for 3-4 months and GPU hw doesn't exactly have a lifetime in years) and consign them to using closed drivers for longer than necessary. The changes are well contained and just plug into the driver new gpu functionality so they should be fairly regression proof. I just want to give them a bit of a run on the hw AMD kindly sent me. b) drm prime/dma-buf interface code. This is just infrastructure code to expose the dma-buf stuff to drm drivers and to userspace. I'm not planning on pushing any driver support in this cycle (except maybe exynos), but I'd like to get the infrastructure code in so for the next cycle I can start getting the driver support into the individual drivers. We have started driver support for i915, nouveau and udl along with I think exynos and omap in staging. However this code relies on the dma-buf tree being pulled into your tree first since it needs the latest interfaces from that tree. I'll push to get that tree sent asap.

2012-03-21pnfs-obj: autologin: Add support for protocol autologinSachin Bhamare
The pnfs-objects protocol mandates that we autologin into devices not present in the system, according to information specified in the get_device_info returned from the server. The Protocol specifies two login hints. 1. An IP address:port combination 2. A string URI which is constructed as a URL with a protocol prefix followed by :// and a string as address. For each protocol prefix the string-address format might be different. We only support the second option. The first option is just redundant to the second one. NOTE: The Kernel part of autologin does not parse the URI string. It just channels it to a user-mode script. So any new login protocols should only update the user-mode script which is a part of the nfs-utils package, but the Kernel need not change. We implement the autologin by using the call_usermodehelper() API. (Thanks to Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> for pointing it out) So there is no running daemon needed, and/or special setup. We Add the osd_login_prog Kernel module parameters which defaults to: /sbin/osd_login Kernel try's to upcall the program specified in osd_login_prog.

2012-03-20drm: allow loading an EDID as firmware to override broken monitorCarsten Emde
Broken monitors and/or broken graphic boards may send erroneous or no EDID data. This also applies to broken KVM devices that are unable to correctly forward the EDID data of the connected monitor but invent their own fantasy data. This patch allows to specify an EDID data set to be used instead of probing the monitor for it. It contains built-in data sets of frequently used screen resolutions. In addition, a particular EDID data set may be provided in the /lib/firmware directory and loaded via the firmware interface. The name is passed to the kernel as module parameter of the drm_kms_helper module either when loaded options drm_kms_helper edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin or as kernel commandline parameter drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1280x1024.bin It is also possible to restrict the usage of a specified EDID data set to a particular connector. This is done by prepending the name of the connector to the name of the EDID data set using the syntax edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<edid> such as, for example, edid_firmware=DVI-I-1:edid/1920x1080.bin in which case no other connector will be affected. The built-in data sets are Resolution Name -------------------------------- 1024x768 edid/1024x768.bin 1280x1024 edid/1280x1024.bin 1680x1050 edid/1680x1050.bin 1920x1080 edid/1920x1080.bin They are ignored, if a file with the same name is available in the /lib/firmware directory. The built-in EDID data sets are based on standard timings that may not apply to a particular monitor and even crash it. Ideally, EDID data of the connected monitor should be used. They may be obtained through the drm/cardX/cardX-<connector>/edid entry in the /sys/devices PCI directory of a correctly working graphics adapter. It is even possible to specify the name of an EDID data set on-the-fly via the /sys/module interface, e.g. echo edid/myedid.bin >/sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/edid_firmware The new screen mode is considered when the related kernel function is called for the first time after the change. Such calls are made when the X server is started or when the display settings dialog is opened in an already running X server.

2012-03-18drm/i915: panel: invert brightness via parameterCarsten Emde
Following the documentation of the Legacy Backlight Brightness (LBB) Register in the configuration space of some Intel PCI graphics adapters, setting the LBB register with the value 0x0 causes the backlight to be turned off, and 0xFF causes the backlight to be set to 100% intensity (http://download.intel.com/embedded/processors/Whitepaper/324567.pdf). The Acer Aspire 5734Z, however, turns the backlight off at 0xFF and sets it to maximum intensity at 0. In consequence, the screen of this systems becomes dark at an early boot stage which makes it unusable. The same inversion applies to the BLC_PWM_CTL I915 register. This problem was introduced in kernel version 2.6.38 when the PCI device of this system was first supported by the i915 KMS module. This patch adds a parameter to the i915 module to enable inversion of the brightness variable (i915.invert_brightness).

2012-03-05kmsg_dump: don't run on non-error paths by defaultMatthew Garrett
Since commit 04c6862c055f ("kmsg_dump: add kmsg_dump() calls to the reboot, halt, poweroff and emergency_restart paths"), kmsg_dump() gets run on normal paths including poweroff and reboot. This is less than ideal given pstore implementations that can only represent single backtraces, since a reboot may overwrite a stored oops before it's been picked up by userspace. In addition, some pstore backends may have low performance and provide a significant delay in reboot as a result. This patch adds a printk.always_kmsg_dump kernel parameter (which can also be changed from userspace). Without it, the code will only be run on failure paths rather than on normal paths. The option can be enabled in environments where there's a desire to attempt to audit whether or not a reboot was cleanly requested or not.

2012-03-01PCI / PCIe: Introduce command line option to disable ARIRafael J. Wysocki
There are PCIe devices on the market that report ARI support but then fail to initialize correctly when ARI is actually used. This leads to situations in which kernels 2.6.34 and newer fail to handle systems where the previous kernels worked without any apparent problems. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown how many such devices are there. For this reason, introduce a new kernel command line option, pci=noari, allowing users to disable PCIe ARI altogether if they see problems with PCIe device initialization. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-01-10mm: more intensive memory corruption debuggingStanislaw Gruszka
With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch code which corrupts memory. However the kernel is trying to maximise memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data. This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the probability of catching corruption. When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page allocator to grant a request. The requested size will be returned with the remaining pages used as guard pages. The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from current behaviour.

2012-01-09NFSv4: Change the default setting of the nfs4_disable_idmapping parameterTrond Myklebust
Now that the use of numeric uids/gids is officially sanctioned in RFC3530bis, it is time to change the default here to 'enabled'. By doing so, we ensure that NFSv4 copies the behaviour of NFSv3 when we're using the default AUTH_SYS authentication (i.e. when the client uses the numeric uids/gids as authentication tokens), so that when new files are created, they will appear to have the correct user/group. It also fixes a number of backward compatibility issues when migrating from NFSv3 to NFSv4 on a platform where the server uses different uid/gid mappings than the client. Note also that this setting has been successfully tested against servers that do not support numeric uids/gids at several Connectathon/Bakeathon events at this point, and the fall back to using string names/groups has been shown to work well in all those test cases.
