rtc: bunch of drivers: fix 'no irq' case handing

2009-01-06T23:59:23+00:00

This patch fixes a bunch of irq checking misuses.  Most drivers were
getting irq via platform_get_irq(), which returns -ENXIO or r->start.

rtc-cmos.c is special.  It is using PNP and platform bindings.  Hopefully
nobody is using PNP IRQ 0 for RTC.  So the changes should be safe.

rtc-sh.c is using platform_get_irq, but was storing a result into an
unsigned type, then was checking for < 0.  This is fixed now.

x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute

2008-10-20T15:52:42+00:00

Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!

This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.

akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

[akpm: remove the ifdef for now]

rtc: file close() consistently disables repeating irqs

2008-10-16T18:21:40+00:00

Make the rtc framework consistent about disabling 1/second update IRQs
that may have been activated through the /dev interface, when that /dev
file is closed.  (It may have closed because of coredump, etc.) This was
previously done only for emulated update IRQs ...  now, do it always.

Also comment the current policy: repeating IRQs (periodic, update) that
userspace enabled will be cleanly disabled, but alarms are left alone.
Such repeating IRQs are a constant and pointless system load.

Update some RTC drivers to remove now-needless release() methods.  Most
such methods just enforce that policy.  The others all seem to be buggy,
and mistreat in-kernel clients of periodic or alarm IRQs.

Since 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf, the platform modalias is
prefixed with "platform:".  Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable RTC
platform drivers, to re-enable module auto loading.

RTCs: handle NVRAM better

2007-11-15T02:45:36+00:00

Several of the RTC drivers are exporting binary "nvram" files in sysfs.  Such
NVRAM (or on many systems, EEPROM) data is often initialized during system
manufacture to hold data about identity (serial numbers, Ethernet addresses,
etc), configuration, calibration, and so forth.

This patch improves integrity and security of those files:

  - Correctly initializes the size in one of the two cases where
    that was not yet being done.

  - Improves system security/integrity by making this state not
    be world-writable by default.

Letting arbitrary userspace code mangle such state by default is at least Not
A Good Thing; and it could sometimes be worse, depending on the particular
data that might be corrupted.  (I disregard the paranoiac "don't let anyone
read it either" approach.  Anyone storing passwords in such memory doesn't
really care about security.)

fix missing arguments in drivers/rtc/rtc-stk17ta8.c

2007-07-26T18:11:56+00:00

struct bin_attribute * is needed in bin_attribute ->read()/->write()
now.  Incidentally, could people please run the fscking compiler
before and after applying their patch and compare the build logs?
That (and many, many other) would be caught immediately.

rtc: add support for STK17TA8 chip

2007-07-22T00:49:17+00:00

This patch adds support for the Simtek STK17TA8 timekeeping chip.

The STK17TA8 is quite similar to the DS1553, but differs in register layout
and in various control bits in the registers.  I chose to make this a new
driver to avoid confusion in the code and to not get lost in #ifdefs.
