x86/mce: Convert static array of pointers to per-cpu variables

2012-02-22T20:58:06+00:00

When I previously fixed up the mce_device code, I used a static array of
the pointers.  It was (rightfully) pointed out to me that I should be
using the per_cpu code instead.

This patch converts the code over to that structure, moving the variable
back into the per_cpu area, like it used to be for 3.2 and earlier.

mce: fix warning messages about static struct mce_device

2012-01-17T01:08:42+00:00

When suspending, there was a large list of warnings going something like:

	Device 'machinecheck1' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed

This patch turns the static mce_devices into dynamically allocated, and
properly frees them when they are removed from the system.  It solves
the warning messages on my laptop here.

Merge branch 'driver-core-next' into Linux 3.2

2012-01-06T19:42:52+00:00

This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
file, that the merge did not catch.

The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
 who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem

2011-12-21T22:29:42+00:00

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

x86: add IRQ context simulation in module mce-inject

2011-12-16T19:20:02+00:00

mce-inject provides a mechanism to simulate errors so that test
scripts can check for correct operation of the kernel without
requiring any specialized hardware to create rare events.

The existing code can simulate events in normal process context
and also in NMI context - but not in IRQ context. This patch
fills that gap.

x86, mce: Add wrappers for registering on the decode chain

2011-12-14T11:50:12+00:00

No functionality change, this is done so that in a follow-on patch all
queued-up MCEs can be decoded after registering on the chain.

x86/mce: Make mce_chrdev_ops 'static const'

2011-11-08T15:17:11+00:00

Arjan would like to make struct file_operations const, but
mce-inject directly writes to the mce_chrdev_ops to install its
write handler. In an ideal world mce-inject would have its own
character device, but we have a sizable legacy of test scripts
that hardwire "/dev/mcelog", so it would be painful to switch to
a separate device now. Instead, this patch switches to a stub
function in the mce code, with a registration helper that
mce-inject can call when it is loaded.

Note that this would also allow for a sane process to allow
mce-inject to be unloaded again (with an unregister function,
and appropriate module_{get,put}() calls), but that is left for
potential future patches.
