vfio: VFIO core

2012-07-31T14:16:22Z

VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines and user level drivers. VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access. It's intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers (in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable IOMMU). New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the group merge interface. We now go back to a model more similar to original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type of model. IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have vastly different interface requirements on different platforms. VFIO users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their choice. Please see the follow-on Documentation commit for further description and usage example. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson

pwm: Add PWM framework support

2012-06-15T10:56:50Z

This patch adds framework support for PWM (pulse width modulation) devices. The is a barebone PWM API already in the kernel under include/linux/pwm.h, but it does not allow for multiple drivers as each of them implements the pwm_*() functions. There are other PWM framework patches around from Bill Gatliff. Unlike his framework this one does not change the existing API for PWMs so that this framework can act as a drop in replacement for the existing API. Why another framework? Several people argue that there should not be another framework for PWMs but they should be integrated into one of the existing frameworks like led or hwmon. Unlike these frameworks the PWM framework is agnostic to the purpose of the PWM. In fact, a PWM can drive a LED, but this makes the LED framework a user of a PWM, like already done in leds-pwm.c. The gpio framework also is not suitable for PWMs. Every gpio could be turned into a PWM using timer based toggling, but on the other hand not every PWM hardware device can be turned into a gpio due to the lack of hardware capabilities. This patch does not try to improve the PWM API yet, this could be done in subsequent patches.

Merge branch 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

2012-05-24T00:12:06Z

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker: "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than 64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware. So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it; wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git grep'ping over it, and so on." Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory* there may be users out there. But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't argue for keeping MCA support either. So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net: delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA"). * 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support. scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support. arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA

Loads of changes here, and we just narrowly added more lines than we added: 622 files changed, 28356 insertions(+), 26059 deletions(-) But, good news is that there is a number of subsystems that moved out of the staging tree, to their respective "real" portions of the kernel. Code that moved out was: - iio core code - mei driver - vme core and bridge drivers There was one broken network driver that moved into staging as a step before it is removed from the tree (pc300), and there was a few new drivers added to the tree: - new iio drivers - gdm72xx wimax USB driver - ipack subsystem and 2 drivers All of the movements around have acks from the various subsystem maintainers, and all of this has been in the linux-next tree for a while.

MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.

2012-05-17T23:06:13Z

Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series. This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in carrying this any further into the future. One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

ARM: tegra: Add Tegra AHB driver

2012-05-08T19:30:49Z

Tegra AHB Bus conforms to the AMBA Specification (Rev 2.0) Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) architecture. The AHB Arbiter controls AHB bus master arbitration. This effectively forms a second level of arbitration for access to the memory controller through the AHB Slave Memory device. The AHB pre-fetch logic can be configured to enhance performance for devices doing sequential access. Each AHB master is assigned to either the high or low priority bin. Both Tegra20/30 have this AHB bus. Some of configuration params could be passed from DT too if needed.
