17 years ago[PATCH] RTC framework driver for CMOS RTCs
David Brownell [Sat, 10 Feb 2007 09:46:02 +0000 (01:46 -0800)]
[PATCH] RTC framework driver for CMOS RTCs

This is an "RTC framework" driver for the "CMOS" RTCs which are standard on
PCs and some other platforms.  That's MC146818 compatible silicon.
Advantages of this vs.  drivers/char/rtc.c (use one _or_ the other, only
one will be able to claim the RTC irq) include:

 - This leverages both the new RTC framework and the driver model; both
   PNPACPI and platform device modes are supported.  (A separate patch
   creates a platform device on PCs where PNPACPI isn't configured.)

 - It supports common extensions like longer alarms.  (A separate patch
   exports that information from ACPI through platform_data.)

 - Likewise, system wakeup events use "real driver model support", with
   policy control via sysfs "wakeup" attributes and and using normal rtc
   ioctls to manage wakeup.  (Patch in the works.  The ACPI hooks are
   known; /proc/acpi/alarm can vanish.  Making it work with EFI will
   be a minor challenge to someone with e.g. a MiniMac.)

It's not yet been tested on non-x86 systems, without ACPI, or with HPET.
And the RTC framework will surely have teething pains on "mainstream"
PC-based systems (though must embedded Linux systems use it heavily), not
limited to sorting out the "/dev/rtc0" issue (udev easily tweaked).  Also,
the ALSA rtctimer code doesn't use the new RTC API.

Otherwise, this should be a no-known-regressions replacement for the old
drivers/char/rtc.c driver, and should help the non-embedded distros (and
the new timekeeping code) start to switch to the framework.

Note also that any systems using "rtc-m48t86" are candidates to switch over
to this more functional driver; the platform data is different, and the way
bytes are read is different, but otherwise those chips should be compatible.

[PATCH] tty: improve encode_baud_rate logic

Mostly so people can see the work in progress.  This enhances the encode
function which isn't currently used in the base tree but is when using some of
the testing tty patches.

This resolves a problem with some hardware where applications got confusing
information from the tty ioctls.  Correct but confusing.

In some situations asking for, say, 9600 baud actually gets you 9595 baud or
similar near-miss values.  With the old code this meant that a request for
B9600 got a return of BOTHER, 9595 which programs interpreted as a failure.

The new code now works on the following basis

- If you ask for specific rate via BOTHER, you get a precise return

- If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and the result is close you get a Bfoo
  return

- If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and get something way off you get a
  BOTHER/rate return

This seems to fix up the cases I've found where this broke compatibility.

[PATCH] use cycle_t instead of u64 in struct time_interpolator

The 32bit and 64bit PARISC Linux kernels suffers from the problem, that the
gettimeofday() call sometimes returns non-monotonic times.

The easiest way to fix this, is to drop the PARISC-specific implementation
and switch over to the generic TIME_INTERPOLATION framework.

But in order to make it even compile on 32bit PARISC, the patch below which
touches the generic Linux code, is mandatory.

More information and the full patch with the parisc-specific changes is included in this thread: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-December/031003.html

As far as I could see, this patch does not change anything for the existing
architectures which use this framework (IA64 and SPARC64), since "cycles_t"

blocks associated with the directory inode.  This patch puts in some
minimal sanity-checking so that we don't keep checking pages (and issuing

system isn't using any form of an initramfs or initrd.  In this situation
the code is only used to unpack a (static) default initial rootfilesystem.
The current init/initramfs.c code.  usr/initramfs_data.o compiles to a size
of ~15 kbytes.  Disabling BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INTRD shrinks the kernel
code size with ~60 Kbytes.

This patch avoids compiling in the code and data for initramfs support if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not defined.  Instead of the initramfs code and
data it uses a small routine in init/noinitramfs.c to setup an initial
static default environment for mounting a rootfilesystem later on in the
kernel initialisation process.  The new code is: 164 bytes of size.

The patch is separated in two parts:
1) doesn't compile initramfs code when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set
2) changing all plaforms vmlinux.lds.S files to not reserve an area of
PAGE_SIZE when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set.

currently it's
1) if *oldlenp == 0,
don't writeback anything

2) if *oldlenp >= table->maxlen,
don't writeback more than table->maxlen bytes and rewrite *oldlenp
don't look at underlying type granularity

3) if 0 < *oldlenp < table->maxlen,
*cough*
string sysctls don't writeback more than *oldlenp bytes.
OK, that's because sizeof(char) == 1

int sysctls writeback anything in (0, table->maxlen] range
Though accept integers divisible by sizeof(int) for writing.

sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_ms_jiffies don't writeback anything but
sizeof(int), which violates 1) and 2).

So, make sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_ms_jiffies accept
a) *oldlenp == 0, not doing writeback
b) *oldlenp >= sizeof(int), writing one integer.

-EINVAL still returned for *oldlenp == 1, 2, 3.

[PATCH] vt: refactor console SAK processing

This does several things.
- It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process
  context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this
  operation.
- It uses the new flavor of work queue processing.
- This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately.
- This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing
  else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation.
- With the console SAK processing moved into process context this
  patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically
  update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing.
  With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed.

[PATCH] Add retain_initrd boot option

Add retain_initrd option to control freeing of initrd memory after
extraction.  By default, free memory as previously.

The first boot will need to hold a copy of the in memory fs for the second
boot.  This image can be large (much larger than the kernel), hence we can
save time when the memory loader is slow.  Also, it reduces the memory
footprint while extracting the first boot since you don't need another copy
of the fs.
