nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus 2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00 Chris Metcalf cmetcalf@mellanox.com 2016-10-08T00:02:55+00:00 6727ad9e206cc08b80d8000a4d67f8417e53539d When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

dma-mapping: use unsigned long for dma_attrs 2016-08-04T12:50:07+00:00 Krzysztof Kozlowski k.kozlowski@samsung.com 2016-08-03T20:46:00+00:00 00085f1efa387a8ce100e3734920f7639c80caa3 The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data. However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned long will do fine: 1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits. 2.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.8 kernel cycle.  The big
  news is the completion of the chardev ABI which I'm very happy about
  and apart from that it's an ordinary, quite busy cycle.  The details
  are below.

  The patches are tested in linux-next for some time, patches to other
  subsystem mostly have ACKs.

  I got overly ambitious with configureing lines as input for IRQ lines
  but it turns out that some controllers have their interrupt-enable and
  input-enabling in orthogonal settings so the assumption that all IRQ
  lines are input lines does not hold.  Oh well, revert and back to the
  drawing board with that.

  Core changes:

   - The big item is of course the completion of the character device
     ABI.  It has now replaced and surpassed the former unmaintainable
     sysfs ABI: we can now hammer (bitbang) individual lines or sets of
     lines and read individual lines or sets of lines from userspace,
     and we can also register to listen to GPIO events from userspace.

     As a tie-in we have two new tools in tools/gpio: gpio-hammer and
     gpio-event-mon that illustrate the proper use of the new ABI.  As
     someone said: the wild west days of GPIO are now over.

   - Continued to remove the pointless ARCH_[WANT_OPTIONAL|REQUIRE]_GPIOLIB
     Kconfig symbols.  I'm patching hexagon, openrisc, powerpc, sh,
     unicore, ia64 and microblaze.  These are either ACKed by their
     maintainers or patched anyways after a grace period and no response
     from maintainers.

     Some archs (ARM) come in from their trees, and others (x86) are
     still not fixed, so I might send a second pull request to root it
     out later in this merge window, or just defer to v4.9.

   - The GPIO tools are moved to the tools build system.

  New drivers:

   - New driver for the MAX77620/MAX20024.

   - New driver for the Intel Merrifield.

   - Enabled PCA953x for the TI PCA9536.

   - Enabled PCA953x for the Intel Edison.

   - Enabled R8A7792 in the RCAR driver.

  Driver improvements:

   - The STMPE and F7188x now supports the .get_direction() callback.

   - The Xilinx driver supports setting multiple lines at once.

   - ACPI support for the Vulcan GPIO controller.

   - The MMIO GPIO driver supports device tree probing.

   - The Acer One 10 is supported through the _DEP ACPI attribute.

  Cleanups:

   - A major cleanup of the OF/DT support code.  It is way easier to
     read and understand now, probably this improves performance too.

   - Drop a few redundant .owner assignments.

   - Remove CLPS711x boardfile support: we are 100% DT"
