2009-03-24vcs: hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding"Kay Sievers2-10/+11
During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless. A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers: $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done real 0m1.142s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.540s If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers: $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done real 0m0.152s user 0m0.030s sys 0m0.072s Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-03-24platform driver: fix incorrect use of 'platform_bus_type' with 'struct ↵Ming Lei2-18/+38
device_driver' This patch fixes the bug reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11681. "Lots of device drivers register a 'struct device_driver' with the '.bus' member set to '&platform_bus_type'. This is wrong, since the platform_bus functions expect the 'struct device_driver' to be wrapped up in a 'struct platform_driver' which provides some additional callbacks (like suspend_late, resume_early). The effect may be that platform_suspend_late() uses bogus data outside the device_driver struct as a pointer pointer to the device driver's suspend_late() function or other hard to reproduce failures."(Lothar Wassmann) Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Acked-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Acked-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2009-03-11hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latency on pseries backendsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2-10/+0
The hvcs and hvsi backends both set tty->low_latency to one, along with more or less scary comments regarding bugs or races that would happen if not doing so. However, they also both call tty_flip_buffer_push() in conexts where it's illegal to do so since some recent tty changes (or at least it may have been illegal always but it nows blows) when low_latency is set (ie, hard interrupt or with spinlock held and irqs disabled). This removes the setting for now to get them back to working condition, we'll have to address the races described in the comments separately if they are still an issue (some of this might have been fixed already).

2009-02-22hwrng: timeriomem - New driverAlexander Clouter3-0/+166
Some hardware platforms, the TS-7800[1] is one for example, can supply the kernel with an entropy source, albeit a slow one for TS-7800 users, by just reading a particular IO address. This source must not be read above a certain rate otherwise the quality suffers. The driver is then hooked into by calling platform_device_(register|add|del) passing a structure similar to: ------ static struct timeriomem_rng_data ts78xx_ts_rng_data = { .address = (u32 *__iomem) TS_RNG, .period = 1000000, /* one second */ }; static struct platform_device ts78xx_ts_rng_device = { .name = "timeriomem_rng", .id = -1, .dev = { .platform_data = &ts78xx_ts_rng_data, }, .num_resources = 0, }; ------ [1] http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=TS-7800 Signed-off-by: Alexander Clouter <alex@digriz.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2009-01-31Fix memory corruption in console selectionMikulas Patocka1-1/+1
Fix an off-by-two memory error in console selection. The loop below goes from sel_start to sel_end (inclusive), so it writes one more character. This one more character was added to the allocated size (+1), but it was not multiplied by an UTF-8 multiplier. This patch fixes a memory corruption when UTF-8 console is used and the user selects a few characters, all of them 3-byte in UTF-8 (for example a frame line). When memory redzones are enabled, a redzone corruption is reported. When they are not enabled, trashing of random memory occurs.

This was found by bisecting an fsfuzzer problem.

2009-01-16hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latencyHendrik Brueckner1-2/+0
This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting. For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0, because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context (see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c). For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls might sleep due to mutex_lock.

2009-01-13hvc_console: Do not set low_latency when using interruptsMilton Miller1-1/+2
hvc_console is setting low_latency unconditionally, but some clients are interrupt driven and will call hvc_poll from irq context. This will cause tty_flip_buffer_push to be called from irq context, and it very clearly states it must not be called from IRQ when low_latency is specified.

I remember some history on this barrier. There was a race between open via /dev/console and the tty being fully setup. Its also why there is a temporary variable and the global is assigned at the end of the function.

2009-01-09[S390] hvc_iucv: Special handling of IUCV HVC devicesHendrik Brueckner1-12/+28
This patch introduces special handling of the IUCV HVC console device. If the first IUCV HVC terminal is used as (preferred) Linux console, and needs some special handling for hangup. The hvc_iucv_private structure contains a flag to indicate whether a IUCV HVC device is used as a console. A terminal acting as "console" behaves different if a tty hangup occurs: If the iucv communication path is severed, a tty hangup is not triggered (because the HVC layer does not notify its back-end in that case). Instead, the console session is left unchanged and the IUCV HVC device is reset to allow re-connects. Note: Any output between the disconnect and a re-connect is discarded.
