<id>urn:sha1:51906e779f2b13b38f8153774c4c7163d412ffd9</id>
<content type='text'>
The MSI specification has several constraints in comparison with
MSI-X, most notable of them is the inability to configure MSIs
independently. As a result, it is impossible to dispatch
interrupts from different queues to different CPUs. This is
largely devalues the support of multiple MSIs in SMP systems.

Also, a necessity to allocate a contiguous block of vector
numbers for devices capable of multiple MSIs might cause a
considerable pressure on x86 interrupt vector allocator and
could lead to fragmentation of the interrupt vectors space.

This patch overcomes both drawbacks in presense of IRQ remapping
and lets devices take advantage of multiple queues and per-IRQ
affinity assignments.

<content type='text'>
Attempts to retrigger nested threaded IRQs currently fail because they
have no primary handler. In order to support retrigger of nested
IRQs, the parent IRQ needs to be retriggered.

To fix, when an IRQ needs to be resent, if the interrupt has a parent
IRQ and runs in the context of the parent IRQ, then resend the parent.

Also, handle_nested_irq() needs to clear the replay flag like the
other handlers, otherwise check_irq_resend() will set it and it will
never be cleared.  Without clearing, it results in the first resend
working fine, but check_irq_resend() returning early on subsequent
resends because the replay flag is still set.

Problem discovered on ARM/OMAP platforms where a nested IRQ that's
also a wakeup IRQ happens late in suspend and needed to be retriggered
during the resume process.

<content type='text'>
Every interrupt which is an active wakeup source needs the ability to
abort suspend if there is a pending irq. Right now only edge and level
irqs can do that.

            |
       +---------+
       |   INTC  |
       +---------+
               | GPIO_IRQ
            +------------+
            |  gpio-exp  |
            +------------+
              |        |
         GPIO0_IRQ  GPIO1_IRQ

In the above diagram, gpio expander has irq number GPIO_IRQ, it is
connected with two sub GPIO pins, GPIO0 and GPIO1.

During suspend, we set IRQF_NO_SUSPEND for GPIO_IRQ so that gpio
expander driver can handle the sub irq GPIO0_IRQ and GPIO1_IRQ, and
these two irqs themselves can further be handled by simple or nested
irq in some drivers(typically gpio and mfd driver). If they are used
as wakeup sources during suspend, we want them to be able to abort
suspend too.

Setting IRQS_PENDING flag in handle_nested_irq() and handle_simple_irq()
when the irq is disabled allows check_wakeup_irqs() to identify such
irqs as source for aborting suspend.

Level triggered interrupts do not cause IRQS_PENDING to be set when
they fire while "disabled" as the 'pending' state is always present in
the level - they automatically refire where re-enabled.

However the IRQS_PENDING flag is also used to abort a suspend cycle -
if any 'is_wakeup_set' interrupt is PENDING, check_wakeup_irqs() will
cause suspend to abort. Without IRQS_PENDING, suspend won't abort.

Consequently, level-triggered interrupts that fire during the 'noirq'
phase of suspend do not currently abort suspend.

So set IRQS_PENDING even for level triggered interrupts, and make sure
to clear the flag in check_irq_resend.

<id>urn:sha1:9c2b957db1772ebf942ae7a9346b14eba6c8ca66</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:

 - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
   the tooling side, on CPUs that support it.  (modern x86 Intel CPUs
   with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)

   This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
   branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
   regular, function histogram centric profiles.

   The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
   looks like this in perf report:

	$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

	$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
	    52.34%  [.] main                   [.] f1
	    24.04%  [.] f1                     [.] f3
	    23.60%  [.] f1                     [.] f2
	     0.01%  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn    [k] _IO_file_overflow
	     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
	     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] strchrnul
	     0.01%  [k] __printf               [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
	     0.01%  [k] main                   [k] __printf

   This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
   percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e.  the most likely taken
   branches in the system.  "branches" can also include function calls
   and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
   instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
   calls, traps, interrupts, etc.

   This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
   support in perf report.

 - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
   It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
   you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
   improvements.

 - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
   stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:

	perf top -p 21483,21485
	perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
	perf record -p 21483,21485

 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
   report, etc.  For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
   tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.

 - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
   factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
   generic facility:

	struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;

	...

	if (static_key_false(&amp;key))
	        do unlikely code
	else
	        do likely code

	...
	static_key_slow_inc();
	...
	static_key_slow_inc();
	...

   The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
   little impact to the likely code path as possible.  the
   static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.

   This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
   micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
   usage and fast/slow cost patterns.

 - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.

 - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
   smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
   smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
   better, etc.

 - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
   and a corner case bugfix.

 - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).

 - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
   self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
   system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.

 - 'perf bench' improvements

 - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
   these features possible.  And, as usual this list is incomplete as
   there were also lots of other improvements

<id>urn:sha1:a09b659cd68c10ec6a30cb91ebd2c327fcd5bfe5</id>
<content type='text'>
In 2008, commit 0c5d1eb77a8be ("genirq: record trigger type") modified the
way set_irq_type() handles the 'no trigger' condition.  However, this has
an adverse effect on PCMCIA support on Intel StrongARM and probably PXA
platforms.

PCMCIA has several status signals on the socket which can trigger
interrupts; some of these status signals depend on the card's mode
(whether it is configured in memory or IO mode).  For example, cards have
a 'Ready/IRQ' signal: in memory mode, this provides an indication to
PCMCIA that the card has finished its power up initialization.  In IO
mode, it provides the device interrupt signal.  Other status signals
switch between on-board battery status and loud speaker output.

In classical PCMCIA implementations, where you have a specific socket
controller, the controller provides a method to mask interrupts from the
socket, and importantly ignore any state transitions on the pins which
correspond with interrupts once masked.  This masking prevents unwanted
events caused by the removal and application of socket power being
forwarded.

However, on platforms where there is no socket controller, the PCMCIA
status and interrupt signals are routed to standard edge-triggered GPIOs. 
These GPIOs can be configured to interrupt on rising edge, falling edge,
or never.  This is where the problems start.

Edge triggered interrupts are required to record events while disabled via
the usual methods of {free,request,disable,enable}_irq() to prevent
problems with dropped interrupts (eg, the 8390 driver uses disable_irq()
to defer the delivery of interrupts).  As a result, these interfaces can
not be used to implement the desired behaviour.

The side effect of this is that if the 'Ready/IRQ' GPIO is disabled via
disable_irq() on suspend, and enabled via enable_irq() after resume, we
will record the state transitions caused by powering events as valid
interrupts, and foward them to the card driver, which may attempt to
access a card which is not powered up.

This leads delays resume while drivers spin in their interrupt handlers,
and complaints from drivers before they realize what's happened.

Moreover, in the case of the 'Ready/IRQ' signal, this is requested and
freed by the card driver itself; the PCMCIA core has no idea whether the
interrupt is requested, and, therefore, whether a call to disable_irq()
would be valid.  (We tried this around 2.4.17 / 2.5.1 kernel era, and
ended up throwing it out because of this problem.)

Therefore, it was decided back in around 2002 to disable the edge
triggering instead, resulting in all state transitions on the GPIO being
ignored.  That's what we actually need the hardware to do.

The commit above changes this behaviour; it explicitly prevents the 'no
trigger' state being selected.

The reason that request_irq() does not accept the 'no trigger' state is
for compatibility with existing drivers which do not provide their desired
triggering configuration.  The set_irq_type() function is 'new' and not
used by non-trigger aware drivers.

Therefore, revert this change, and restore previously working platforms
back to their former state.
