This patch updates some of the documentation about DMA buffer management
for USB, and ways to avoid extra copying. Our understanding of the issues
has improved over time.- Most drivers should *avoid* the dma-coherent allocators. There are
a few exceptions (like the HID driver).- Some methods are currently commented out; it seems folk writing
USB drivers aren't doing performance tuning at that level yet.- Just avoid highmem; there's no good way to pass an "I can do highmem
DMA" capability through a driver stack. This is easy, everything
already avoids highmem. But it'd be nice if x86_32 systems with much
physical memory could use it directly with network adapters and mass
storage devices. (Patch, anyone?)Signed-off-by: David Brownell

This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the
USB-Persist facility. Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for
all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the
power/persist device attribute.The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and
its code placed inline. This is the way it was originally as part of
hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is
sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared.
Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of
hub_reset_resume(). The end result looks much cleaner than before.The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and
there are corresponding documentation updates.Signed-off-by: Alan Stern

This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility,
allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system
suspend.The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate
warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the
behavior will remain the same as it is now. But when the option is
on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB
filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small
machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!Signed-off-by: Alan Stern

we think that the controller has the internal buffer. Then, before every
block transaction, if isich4 is set, we attempt to enable the E32B bit in

Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was
hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense.
Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's
about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid
things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging,
to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that.I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already
implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't
follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed
before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used,
which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far.There are some obvious compatiblity considerations:
* This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users
outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will
have to update their code.
* User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so
the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order
to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA
a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the
old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the
old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

We have a new RTC subsystem with better drivers.
Legacy driver status:
* ds1337: The DS1337 and DS1339 are now supported by the rtc-ds1307
driver, so it looks to me like we could even delete the ds1337
driver right away.
* ds1374: Will soon be replaced with Scott Wood's rtc-ds1374 driver.
* m41t00: The M41T00 is supported by the rtc-ds1307 driver. For the

Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting
to mmap to low area of the address space. The amount of space protected is
indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to
0, preserving existing behavior.This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect." Policy already
contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being
one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its
best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also
want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of
the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other
memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time
we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea)Acked-by: Stephen Smalley

Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui

Example memory map (HP rx7640 with 'default' acpiconfig setting, VGA disabled):

to PCI config space (like mmap'ing and accessing memory at 0xA0000),
we will MCA because the kernel will attempt to use a mapping with the UC
attribute.So check the memory attribute in kern_mmap and the EFI memmap. If WC is
requested, and WC or UC access is supported for the region, allow it.
Otherwise, use the same attribute the kernel uses.Updates documentation and test cases as well.
