The change removes redundant sysfs binary file boundary check while
reading eeprom content from userspace, the check is done on caller
side in fs/sysfs/file.c, if binary attribute size is not zero.

Change the ownership of power_supply structure from each driver
implementing the class to the power supply core.
The patch changes power_supply_register() function thus all drivers
implementing power supply class are adjusted.
Each driver provides the implementation of power supply. However it
should not be the owner of power supply class instance because it is
exposed by core to other subsystems with power_supply_get_by_name().
These other subsystems have no knowledge when the driver will unregister
the power supply. This leads to several issues when driver is unbound -
mostly because user of power supply accesses freed memory.
Instead let the core own the instance of struct 'power_supply'. Other
users of this power supply will still access valid memory because it
will be freed when device reference count reaches 0. Currently this
means "it will leak" but power_supply_put() call in next patches will
solve it.
This solves invalid memory references in following race condition
scenario:
Thread 1: charger manager
Thread 2: power supply driver, used by charger manager
THREAD 1 (charger manager) THREAD 2 (power supply driver)
========================== ==============================
psy = power_supply_get_by_name()
Driver unbind, .remove
power_supply_unregister()
Device fully removed
psy->get_property()
The 'get_property' call is executed in invalid context because the driver was
unbound and struct 'power_supply' memory was freed.
This could be observed easily with charger manager driver (here compiled
with max17040 fuel gauge):

Add new structure 'power_supply_config' for holding run-time
initialization data like of_node, supplies and private driver data.
The power_supply_register() function is changed so all power supply
drivers need updating.
When registering the power supply this new 'power_supply_config' should be
used instead of directly initializing 'struct power_supply'. This allows
changing the ownership of power_supply structure from driver to the
power supply core in next patches.
When a driver does not use of_node or supplies then it should use NULL
as config. If driver uses of_node or supplies then it should allocate
config on stack and initialize it with proper values.

Pull OLPC platform updates from Andres Salomon:
"These move the OLPC Embedded Controller driver out of
arch/x86/platform and into drivers/platform/olpc.
OLPC machines are now ARM-based (which means lots of x86 and ARM
changes), but are typically pretty self-contained.. so it makes more
sense to go through a separate OLPC tree after getting the appropriate
review/ACKs."
* 'for-linus-3.6' of git://dev.laptop.org/users/dilinger/linux-olpc:
x86: OLPC: move s/r-related EC cmds to EC driver
Platform: OLPC: move global variables into priv struct
Platform: OLPC: move debugfs support from x86 EC driver
x86: OLPC: switch over to using new EC driver on x86
Platform: OLPC: add a suspended flag to the EC driver
Platform: OLPC: turn EC driver into a platform_driver
Platform: OLPC: allow EC cmd to be overridden, and create a workqueue to call it
drivers: OLPC: update various drivers to include olpc-ec.h
Platform: OLPC: add a stub to drivers/platform/ for the OLPC EC driver
|
|
Switch over to using olpc-ec.h in multiple steps, so as not to break builds.
This covers every driver that calls olpc_ec_cmd().

upowerd wants to compute the energy in the battery by looking at this
property. If it's not present then it falls back on using the reported
voltage of the battery at time upowerd loads. That's close but also
means that every time you boot you get a slightly different energy
capacity.
Adding the VOLTAGE_MAX_DESIGN property allows upowerd to compute the
same energy every time.

This adds PROP_CHARGE_COUNTER to the power supply class (documenting it
as well). The OLPC battery driver uses this for spitting out its ACR
values (in uAh). We have some rounding errors (the data sheet claims
416.7, the math actually works out to 416.666667, so we're forced to
choose between overflows or precision loss. I chose precision loss,
and stuck w/ data sheet values), but I don't think anyone will care
that much.

This allows you to dump 0x60 bytes from the battery's EEPROM (starting at
address 0x20). Note that it does an EC command for each byte, so it's pretty
slow. OTOH, if you want to grab just a single byte from somewhere in the
EEPROM, you can do something like:
dd bs=1 count=1 skip=16 if=/sys/class/power_supply/olpc-battery/eeprom | od -x
Userspace battery collection/logging information needs this.

This adds support for OLPC XO hardware. Open Firmware on XOs don't contain
the VSA, so it is necessary to emulate the PCI BARs in the kernel. This also
adds functionality for running EC commands, and a CONFIG_OLPC.
A number of OLPC drivers depend upon CONFIG_OLPC.
olpc_ec_timeout is a hack to work around Embedded Controller bugs.

The CAPACITY_LEVEL stuff defines various levels of charge; however, what
is the difference between them? What differentiates between HIGH and NORMAL,
LOW and CRITICAL, etc?
As it appears that these are fairly arbitrary, we end up making such policy
decisions in the kernel (or in hardware). This is the sort of decision that
should be made in userspace, not in the kernel.
If the hardware does not support _CAPACITY and it cannot be easily calculated,
then perhaps the driver should register a custom CAPACITY_LEVEL attribute;
however, userspace should not become accustomed to looking for such a thing,
and we should certainly not encourage drivers to provide CAPACITY_LEVEL
stubs.
The following removes support for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL. The
OLPC battery driver is the only driver making use of this, so it's
removed from there as well.
