smsc-ircc2: add PNP support
Claim devices using PNP, unless the user explicitly specified device
addresses. This can be disabled with the "smsc-ircc2.nopnp" option.
This removes the need for probing legacy addresses and helps untangle IR
devices from serial8250 devices.
Sometimes the SMC device is at a legacy COM port address but does not use the
legacy COM IRQ. In this case, claiming the device using PNP rather than 8250
legacy probe means we can automatically use the correct IRQ rather than
forcing the user to use "setserial" to set the IRQ manually.
If the PNP claim doesn't work, make sure you don't have a setserial init
script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, configured to poke in legacy COM port
resources for the IRDA device. That causes the serial driver to claim
resources needed by this driver.

PNP: notice whether we have PNP devices (PNPBIOS or PNPACPI)
This series converts i386 and x86_64 legacy serial ports to be platform
devices and prevents probing for them if we have PNP.
This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by the legacy
probe and by 8250_pnp.
This also prevents the serial driver from claiming IRDA devices (unless they
have a UART PNP ID). The serial legacy probe sometimes assumed the wrong IRQ,
so the user had to use "setserial" to fix it.
Removing the need for setserial to make IRDA devices work seems good, but it
does break some things. In particular, you may need to keep setserial from
poking legacy UART stuff back in by doing something like "dpkg-reconfigure
setserial" with the "kernel" option. Otherwise, the setserial-discovered
"UART" will claim resources and prevent the IRDA driver from loading.
This patch:
If we can discover devices using PNP, we can skip some legacy probes. This
flag ("pnp_platform_devices") indicates that PNPBIOS or PNPACPI is enabled and
should tell us about builtin devices.

This patch adds a IRQF_IRQPOLL flag that the interrupt registration code could

I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.
atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.

It applies over the atomic.h standardization patches.

rtc: remove "RTC_ALM_SET mode" bugs
This fixes a common glitch in how RTC drivers handle two "set alarm" modes,
by getting rid of the surprising/hidden one that was rarely implemented
correctly (and which could expose nonportable hardware-specific behavior).
The glitch comes from the /dev/rtcX logic implementing the legacy
RTC_ALM_SET (limited to 24 hours, needing RTC_AIE_ON) ioctl on top of the
RTC driver call providing access to the newer RTC_WKALM_SET (without those
limitations) by initializing the day/month/year fields to be invalid ...
that second mode.
Now, since few RTC drivers check those fields, and most hardware misbehaves
when faced with invalid date fields, many RTC drivers will set bogus alarm
times on those RTC_ALM_SET code paths. (Several in-tree drivers have that
issue, and I also noticed it with code reviews on several new RTC drivers.)
This patch ensures that RTC drivers never see such invalid alarm fields, by
moving some logic out of rtc-omap into the RTC_ALM_SET code and adding an
explicit check (which will prevent the issue on other code paths).

rtc-cmos wakeup interface
I finally got around to testing the updated wakeup event hooks for rtc-cmos,
and they follow in two patches:
- Interface update ... when a simple enable_irq_wake() doesn't suffice,
the platform data can hold suspend/resume callback hooks.
- ACPI implementation ... provides callback hooks to do ACPI magic, and
eliminate the legacy /proc/acpi/alarm file.
The interface update could go into 2.6.21, but that's not essential; they
will be NOPs on most PCs, without the ACPI stuff.
I suspect the ACPI folk may have opinions about how to merge that second
patch, and how to obsolete that legacy procfs file. I'd like to see that
merge into 2.6.22 if possible...
As for how to kick it in ... two ways:
- The appended "rtcwake" program; updated since the last time it was
posted, it deals much better with timezones and DST.
- Write the /sys/class/rtc/.../wakealarm file, then go to sleep.
For some reason RTC wake from "swsusp" stopped working on a system where
it previously worked; the alarm setting appears to get clobbered. But
on the bright side, RTC wake from "standby" worked on a system that had
never been able to resume from that state before ... IDEACPI is my guess
as to why it finally started to work. It's the old "two steps forward,
one step back" dance, I guess.

This patch:
Make rtc-cmos do the relevant magic so this RTC can wake the system from a
sleep state. That magic comes in two basic flavors:
- Straightforward: enable_irq_wake(), the way it'd work on most SOC chips;
or generally with system sleep states which don't disable core IRQ logic.
- Roundabout, using non-IRQ platform hooks. This is needed with ACPI and
one almost-clone chip which uses a special wakeup-only alarm. (That's
the RTC used on Footbridge boards, FWIW, which don't do PM in Linux.)
A separate patch implements those hooks for ACPI platforms, so that rtc_cmos
can issue system wakeup events (and its sysfs "wakealarm" attribute works on
at least some systems).

rtc: suspend()/resume() restores system clock
RTC class suspend/resume support, re-initializing the system clock on resume
from the clock used to initialize it at boot time.
- The reinit-on-resume is hooked to the existing RTC_HCTOSYS config
option, on the grounds that a clock good enough for init must also
be good enough for re-init.
- Inlining a version of the code used by ARM, to save and restore the
delta between a selected RTC and the current system wall-clock time.
- Removes calls to that ARM code from AT91, OMAP1, and S3C RTCs. This
means that systems using those RTCs across suspend/resume will likely
want to change their kernel configs to enable RTC_HCTOSYS.
If HCTOSYS isn't using a second RTC (with battery?), this changes the
system's initial date from Jan 1970 to the epoch this hardware uses:
1998 for AT91, 2000 for OMAP1 (assuming no split power mode), etc.
This goes on top of the patch series removing "struct class_device" usage
from the RTC framework. That's all needed for class suspend()/resume().

We can assume a load will fit in a 32bits number, because with a
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE=128 value, its still a theorical limit of 33554432
When/if we reach this limit one day, probably cpus will have a fast
hardware divide and we can zap the reciprocal divide trick.
Ingo suggested to rename cpu_power to __cpu_power to make clear it should
not be modified without changing its reciprocal value too.
I did not convert the divide in cpu_avg_load_per_task(), because tracking
nr_running changes may be not worth it ? We could use a static table of 32
reciprocal values but it would add a conditional branch and table lookup.

balancing on behalf of the other idle cpus. And once all the cpus are

inode numbering: make static counters in new_inode and iunique be 32 bits
The problems are:
- on filesystems w/o permanent inode numbers, i_ino values can be larger
than 32 bits, which can cause problems for some 32 bit userspace programs on
a 64 bit kernel. We can't do anything for filesystems that have actual
>32-bit inode numbers, but on filesystems that generate i_ino values on the
fly, we should try to have them fit in 32 bits. We could trivially fix this
by making the static counters in new_inode and iunique 32 bits, but...
- many filesystems call new_inode and assume that the i_ino values they are
given are unique. They are not guaranteed to be so, since the static
counter can wrap. This problem is exacerbated by the fix for #1.
- after allocating a new inode, some filesystems call iunique to try to get
a unique i_ino value, but they don't actually add their inodes to the
hashtable, and so they're still not guaranteed to be unique if that counter
wraps.
This patch set takes the simpler approach of simply using iunique and hashing
the inodes afterward. Christoph H. previously mentioned that he thought that
this approach may slow down lookups for filesystems that currently hash their
inodes.
The questions are:
1) how much would this slow down lookups for these filesystems?
2) is it enough to justify adding more infrastructure to avoid it?
What might be best is to start with this approach and then only move to using
IDR or some other scheme if these extra inodes in the hashtable prove to be
problematic.
I've done some cursory testing with this patch and the overhead of hashing and
unhashing the inodes with pipefs is pretty low -- just a few seconds of system
time added on to the creation and destruction of 10 million pipes (very
similar to the overhead that the IDR approach would add).
The hard thing to measure is what effect this has on other filesystems. I'm
open to ways to try and gauge this.
Again, I've only converted pipefs as an example. If this approach is
acceptable then I'll start work on patches to convert other filesystems.
With a pretty-much-worst-case microbenchmark provided by Eric Dumazet
<dada1@cosmosbay.com>:
When a 32-bit program that was not compiled with large file offsets does a
stat and gets a st_ino value back that won't fit in the 32 bit field, glibc
(correctly) generates an EOVERFLOW error. We can't do anything about fs's
with larger permanent inode numbers, but when we generate them on the fly, we
ought to try and have them fit within a 32 bit field.
This patch takes the first step toward this by making the static counters in
these two functions be 32 bits.

au1550 SPI controller driver
Here is a driver for the Alchemy au1550 PSC (Programmable Serial
Controller) in SPI master mode.
It supports dma transfers using the Alchemy descriptor based dma controller
for 4-8 bits per word SPI transfers. For 9-24 bits per word transfers, pio
irq based mode is used to avoid setup of dma channels from scratch on each
number of bits per word change.
Tested with au1550; this may also work on other MIPS Alchemy cpus, like
au1200/au1210/au1250. Used extensively with SD card connected via SPI;
this handles 8.1MHz SPI clock transfers using dma without any problem (the
highest SPI clock freq possible with au1550 running on 324MHz).
The driver supports sharing of SPI bus by multiple devices. All features
of Alchemy SPI mode are supported (all SPI modes, msb/lsb first, bits per
word in 4-24 range).
As the SPI clock of the controller depends on main input clock that shall
be configured externally, platform data structure for au1550 SPI controller
driver contains mainclk_hz attribute to define the input clock rate. From
this value, dividers of the controller for SPI clock are set up for
required frequency.
