2010-02-08sh: fix Transfer Size calculation in both DMA driversGuennadi Liakhovetski
Both the original arch/sh/drivers/dma/dma-sh.c and the new SH dmaengine drivers do not take into account bits 3:2 of the Transfer Size field in the CHCR register, besides, bit-field defines set bit 2, but the mask only passes bits 1:0 through. TS_16BLK and TS_32BLK macros are bogus too. This patch fixes all these issues for sh7722 and sh7724, other CPUs stay unchanged and might need to be fixed too.

2010-02-03omap: Disable serial port autoidle by defaultTony Lindgren
Currently the omap serial clocks are autoidled after 5 seconds. However, this causes lost characters on the serial ports. As this is considered non-standard behaviour for Linux, disable the timeout. Note that this will also cause blocking of any deeper omap sleep states. To enable the autoidling of the serial ports, do something like this for each serial port: # echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.0/sleep_timeout # echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.1/sleep_timeout ...

IRQ autoprobing hasn't actually worked for us at all since very early in 2.6, but no one seems to have noticed given that none of the drivers that use it see much testing. yenta_socket is the odd one out, and that depends on PCI IRQs which are fixed on all SH platforms anyways.

2010-02-01MIPS: Alchemy: Fix dbdma ring destruction memory debugcheck.Manuel Lauss
DBDMA descriptors need to be located at 32-byte aligned addresses; however kmalloc in conjunction with the SLAB allocator and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLUB enabled doesn't deliver any. The dbdma code works around that by allocating a larger area and realigning the start address within it. When freeing a channel however this adjustment is not taken into account which results in an oops: Kernel bug detected[#1]: [...] Call Trace: [<80186010>] cache_free_debugcheck+0x284/0x318 [<801869d8>] kfree+0xe8/0x2a0 [<8010b31c>] au1xxx_dbdma_chan_free+0x2c/0x7c [<80388dc8>] au1x_pcm_dbdma_free+0x34/0x4c [<80388fa8>] au1xpsc_pcm_close+0x28/0x38 [<80383cb8>] soc_codec_close+0x14c/0x1cc [<8036dbb4>] snd_pcm_release_substream+0x60/0xac [<8036dc40>] snd_pcm_release+0x40/0xa0 [<8018c7a8>] __fput+0x11c/0x228 [<80188f60>] filp_close+0x7c/0x98 [<80189018>] sys_close+0x9c/0xe4 [<801022a0>] stack_done+0x20/0x3c Fix this by recording the address delivered by kmalloc() and using it as parameter to kfree().

2010-01-30perf, hw_breakpoint, kgdb: Do not take mutex for kernel debuggerJason Wessel
This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw breakpoint reservations. The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it can start the kernel running from an invalid context. A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint reservations. The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the hardware breakpoint reservations. Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it will be a system wide reservation.

2010-01-30x86, hw_breakpoints, kgdb: Fix kgdb to use hw_breakpoint APIJason Wessel
In the 2.6.33 kernel, the hw_breakpoint API is now used for the performance event counters. The hw_breakpoint_handler() now consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb arch specific code. In order for kgdb to work in conjunction with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and deal with hw breakpoint reservations. The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw breakpoint while kgdb is active. During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures. Kgdb will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw breakpoint registers, per cpu. Right now the hw_breakpoint API does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available, on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state. The intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what restrictions have been imposed as a result. Breakpoint constraints will be dealt with in a future patch. While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint() to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints. The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but neither knows about future reservations for the available hw breakpoint slots.
