Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric
multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances
of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS.
Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves:
- Loading a firmware which contains the OS image
- Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory)
- Programming an IOMMU (when relevant)
- Powering on the device
This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do
that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power
management and error recovery.

This creates a subsystem for handling of pin control devices.
These are devices that control different aspects of package
pins.
Currently it handles pinmuxing, i.e. assigning electronic
functions to groups of pins on primarily PGA and BGA type of
chip packages which are common in embedded systems.
The plan is to also handle other I/O pin control aspects
such as biasing, driving, input properties such as
schmitt-triggering, load capacitance etc within this
subsystem, to remove a lot of ARM arch code as well as
feature-creepy GPIO drivers which are implementing the same
thing over and over again.
This is being done to depopulate the arch/arm/* directory
of such custom drivers and try to abstract the infrastructure
they all need. See the Documentation/pinctrl.txt file that is
part of this patch for more details.
ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Various minor fixes from Joe's and Stephens review comments
- Added a pinmux_config() that can invoke custom configuration
with arbitrary data passed in or out to/from the pinmux driver
ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Renamed subsystem folder to "pinctrl" since we will likely
want to keep other pin control such as biasing in this
subsystem too, so let us keep to something generic even though
we're mainly doing pinmux now.
- As a consequence, register pins as an abstract entity separate
from the pinmux. The muxing functions will claim pins out of the
pin pool and make sure they do not collide. Pins can now be
named by the pinctrl core.
- Converted the pin lookup from a static array into a radix tree,
I agreed with Grant Likely to try to avoid any static allocation
(which is crap for device tree stuff) so I just rewrote this
to be dynamic, just like irq number descriptors. The
platform-wide definition of number of pins goes away - this is
now just the sum total of the pins registered to the subsystem.
- Make sure mappings with only a function name and no device
works properly.
ChangeLog v3->v4:
- Define a number space per controller instead of globally,
Stephen and Grant requested the same thing so now maps need to
define target controller, and the radix tree of pin descriptors
is a property on each pin controller device.
- Add a compulsory pinctrl device entry to the pinctrl mapping
table. This must match the pinctrl device, like "pinctrl.0"
- Split the file core.c in two: core.c and pinmux.c where the
latter carry all pinmux stuff, the core is for generic pin
control, and use local headers to access functionality between
files. It is now possible to implement a "blank" pin controller
without pinmux capabilities. This split will make new additions
like pindrive.c, pinbias.c etc possible for combined drivers
and chunks of functionality which is a GoodThing(TM).
- Rewrite the interaction with the GPIO subsystem - the pin
controller descriptor now handles this by defining an offset
into the GPIO numberspace for its handled pin range. This is
used to look up the apropriate pin controller for a GPIO pin.
Then that specific GPIO range is matched 1-1 for the target
controller instance.
- Fixed a number of review comments from Joe Perches.
- Broke out a header file pinctrl.h for the core pin handling
stuff that will be reused by other stuff than pinmux.
- Fixed some erroneous EXPORT() stuff.
- Remove mispatched U300 Kconfig and Makefile entries
- Fixed a number of review comments from Stephen Warren, not all
of them - still WIP. But I think the new mapping that will
specify which function goes to which pin mux controller address
50% of your concerns (else beat me up).
ChangeLog v4->v5:
- Defined a "position" for each function, so the pin controller now
tracks a function in a certain position, and the pinmux maps define
what position you want the function in. (Feedback from Stephen
Warren and Sascha Hauer).
- Since we now need to request a combined function+position from
the machine mapping table that connect mux settings to drivers,
it was extended with a position field and a name field. The
name field is now used if you e.g. need to switch between two
mux map settings at runtime.
- Switched from a class device to using struct bus_type for this
subsystem. Verified sysfs functionality: seems to work fine.
(Feedback from Arnd Bergmann and Greg Kroah-Hartman)
- Define a per pincontroller list of GPIO ranges from the GPIO
pin space that can be handled by the pin controller. These can
be added one by one at runtime. (Feedback from Barry Song)
- Expanded documentation of regulator_[get|enable|disable|put]
semantics.
- Fixed a number of review comments from Barry Song. (Thanks!)
ChangeLog v5->v6:
- Create an abstract pin group concept that can sort pins into
named and enumerated groups no matter what the use of these
groups may be, one possible usecase is a group of pins being
muxed in or so. The intention is however to also use these
groups for other pin control activities.
- Make it compulsory for pinmux functions to associate with
at least one group, so the abstract pin group concept is used
to define the groups of pins affected by a pinmux function.
The pinmux driver interface has been altered so as to enforce
a function to list applicable groups per function.
- Provide an optional .group entry in the pinmux machine map
so the map can select beteween different available groups
to be used with a certain function.
- Consequent changes all over the place so that e.g. debugfs
present reasonable information about the world.
- Drop the per-pin mux (*config) function in the pinmux_ops
struct - I was afraid that this would start to be used for
things totally unrelated to muxing, we can introduce that to
the generic struct pinctrl_ops if needed. I want to keep
muxing orthogonal to other pin control subjects and not mix
these things up.
ChangeLog v6->v7:
- Make it possible to have several map entries matching the
same device, pin controller and function, but using
a different group, and alter the semantics so that
pinmux_get() will pick all matching map entries, and
store the associated groups in a list. The list will
then be iterated over at pinmux_enable()/pinmux_disable()
and corresponding driver functions called for each
defined group. Notice that you're only allowed to map
multiple *groups* to the same
{ device, pin controller, function } triplet, attempts
to map the same device to multiple pin controllers will
for example fail. This is hopefully the crucial feature
requested by Stephen Warren.
- Add a pinmux hogging field to the pinmux mapping entries,
and enable the pinmux core to hog pinmux map entries.
This currently only works for pinmuxes without assigned
devices as it looks now, but with device trees we can
look up the corresponding struct device * entries when
we register the pinmux driver, and have it hog each
pinmux map in turn, for a simple approach to
non-dynamic pin muxing. This addresses an issue from
Grant Likely that the machine should take care of as
much of the pinmux setup as possible, not the devices.
By supplying a list of hogs, it can now instruct the
core to take care of any static mappings.
- Switch pinmux group retrieveal function to grab an
array of strings representing the groups rather than an
array of unsigned and rewrite accordingly.
- Alter debugfs to show the grouplist handled by each
pinmux. Also add a list of hogs.
- Dynamically allocate a struct pinmux at pinmux_get() and
free it at pinmux_put(), then add these to the global
list of pinmuxes active as we go along.
- Go over the list of pinmux maps at pinmux_get() time
and repeatedly apply matches.
- Retrieve applicable groups per function from the driver
as a string array rather than a unsigned array, then
lookup the enumerators.
- Make the device to pinmux map a singleton - only allow the
mapping table to be registered once and even tag the
registration function with __init so it surely won't be
abused.
- Create a separate debugfs file to view the pinmux map at
runtime.
- Introduce a spin lock to the pin descriptor struct, lock it
when modifying pin status entries. Reported by Stijn Devriendt.
- Fix up the documentation after review from Stephen Warren.
- Let the GPIO ranges give names as const char * instead of some
fixed-length string.
- add a function to unregister GPIO ranges to mirror the
registration function.
- Privatized the struct pinctrl_device and removed it from the
<linux/pinctrl/pinctrl.h> API, the drivers do not need to know
the members of this struct. It is now in the local header
"core.h".
- Rename the concept of "anonymous" mux maps to "system" muxes
and add convenience macros and documentation.
ChangeLog v7->v8:
- Delete the leftover pinmux_config() function from the
<linux/pinctrl/pinmux.h> header.
- Fix a race condition found by Stijn Devriendt in pin_request()
ChangeLog v8->v9:
- Drop the bus_type and the sysfs attributes and all, we're not on
the clear about how this should be used for e.g. userspace
interfaces so let us save this for the future.
- Use the right name in MAINTAINERS, PIN CONTROL rather than
PINMUX
- Don't kfree() the device state holder, let the .remove() callback
handle this.
- Fix up numerous kerneldoc headers to have one line for the function
description and more verbose documentation below the parameters
ChangeLog v9->v10:
- pinctrl: EXPORT_SYMBOL needs export.h, folded in a patch
from Steven Rothwell
- fix pinctrl_register error handling, folded in a patch from
Axel Lin
- Various fixes to documentation text so that it's consistent.
- Removed pointless comment from drivers/Kconfig
- Removed dependency on SYSFS since we removed the bus in
v9.
- Renamed hopelessly abbreviated pctldev_* functions to the
more verbose pinctrl_dev_*
- Drop mutex properly when looking up GPIO ranges
- Return NULL instead of ERR_PTR() errors on registration of
pin controllers, using cast pointers is fragile. We can
live without the detailed error codes for sure.

With OPPs, a device may have multiple operable frequency and voltage
sets. However, there can be multiple possible operable sets and a system
will need to choose one from them. In order to reduce the power
consumption (by reducing frequency and voltage) without affecting the
performance too much, a Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS)
scheme may be used.
This patch introduces the DVFS capability to non-CPU devices with OPPs.
DVFS is a techique whereby the frequency and supplied voltage of a
device is adjusted on-the-fly. DVFS usually sets the frequency as low
as possible with given conditions (such as QoS assurance) and adjusts
voltage according to the chosen frequency in order to reduce power
consumption and heat dissipation.
The generic DVFS for devices, devfreq, may appear quite similar with
/drivers/cpufreq. However, cpufreq does not allow to have multiple
devices registered and is not suitable to have multiple heterogenous
devices with different (but simple) governors.
Normally, DVFS mechanism controls frequency based on the demand for
the device, and then, chooses voltage based on the chosen frequency.
devfreq also controls the frequency based on the governor's frequency
recommendation and let OPP pick up the pair of frequency and voltage
based on the recommended frequency. Then, the chosen OPP is passed to
device driver's "target" callback.
When PM QoS is going to be used with the devfreq device, the device
driver should enable OPPs that are appropriate with the current PM QoS
requests. In order to do so, the device driver may call opp_enable and
opp_disable at the notifier callback of PM QoS so that PM QoS's
update_target() call enables the appropriate OPPs. Note that at least
one of OPPs should be enabled at any time; be careful when there is a
transition.

virtio has been so far used only in the context of virtualization,
and the virtio Kconfig was sourced directly by the relevant arch
Kconfigs when VIRTUALIZATION was selected.
Now that we start using virtio for inter-processor communications,
we need to source the virtio Kconfig outside of the virtualization
scope too.
Moreover, some architectures might use virtio for both virtualization
and inter-processor communications, so directly sourcing virtio
might yield unexpected results due to conflicting selections.
The simple solution offered by this patch is to always source virtio's
Kconfig in drivers/Kconfig, and remove it from the appropriate arch
Kconfigs. Additionally, a virtio menu entry has been added so virtio
drivers don't show up in the general drivers menu.
This way anyone can use virtio, though it's arguably less accessible
(and neat!) for virtualization users now.
Note: some architectures (mips and sh) seem to have a VIRTUALIZATION
menu merely for sourcing virtio's Kconfig, so that menu is removed too.

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a
programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does
not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We
decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean.
In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and
registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for
specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver
itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core
driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct
initialization.
Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however
the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host
abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e).
Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to
80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still
optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later
without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO
used for accessing cores on the bus.

Update the Kconfig help texts of both stacks to encourage a general move
from the older to the newer drivers. However, do not label ieee1394 as
"Obsolete" yet, as the newer drivers have not been deployed as default
stack in the majority of Linux distributions yet, and those who start
doing so now may still want to install the old drivers as fallback for
unforeseen issues.
Since Linux 2.6.32, FireWire audio devices can be driven by the newer
firewire driver stack too, hence remove an outdated comment about audio
devices. Also remove comments about library versions since the 2nd
generation of libraw1394 and libdc1394 is now in common use; details on
library versions can be read at the wiki link from the help texts.

This is based on the old code in arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c, but is
modular and not Geode-specific. There's no reason why the clock event
device needs to be registered so early at boot; the clockevent code is
perfectly capable of dynamic switching.

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.

Move x86 platform specific drivers from drivers/misc/
to a new home under drivers/platform/x86/.
The community has been maintaining x86 vendor-specific
platform specific drivers under /drivers/misc/ for a few years.
The oldest ones started life under drivers/acpi.
They moved out of drivers/acpi/ because they don't actually
implement the ACPI specification, but either simply
use ACPI, or implement vendor-specific ACPI extensions.
In the future we anticipate...
drivers/misc/ will go away.
other architectures will create drivers/platform/<arch>

The balloon driver allows memory to be dynamically added or removed from the domain,
in order to allow host memory to be balanced between multiple domains.
This patch introduces the Xen balloon driver, though it currently only
allows a domain to be shrunk from its initial size (and re-grown back to
that size). A later patch will add the ability to grow a domain beyond
its initial size.

Add an empty drivers/gpio directory for gpiolib infrastructure and GPIO
expanders. It will be populated by later patches.
This won't be the only place to hold such gpio_chip code. Many external chips
add a few GPIOs as secondary functionality (such as MFD drivers) and platform
code frequently needs to closely integrate GPIO and IRQ support.
This is placed *early* in the build/link sequence since it's common for other
drivers to depend on GPIOs to do their work, so they must be initialized early
in the device_initcall() sequence.

This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow
common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O
mechanisms. It will no-doubt need further enhancement.
The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed
the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked.
There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query
to get setup information from the host.

Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses. This
patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA
services with devices that offer DCA services.
In order to use DCA, a module must do bus writes with the appropriate tag
bits set to trigger a cache read for a specific CPU. However, different
CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the methods
for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be a
hardware specific magic incantation. This interface is a way for DCA
clients to find the correct tag bits for the targeted CPU without needing
to know the specifics.

This interface allows the ability to write the majority of a driver in
userspace with only a very small shell of a driver in the kernel itself.
It uses a char device and sysfs to interact with a userspace process to
process interrupts and control memory accesses.
See the docbook documentation for more details on how to use this
interface.
