  • Some rtc drivers use the ioctl method instead of the alarm_irq_enable
    method for enabling alarm interupts. With the new virtualized RTC
    rework, its important for drivers to use the alarm_irq_enable instead.

    This patch converts the drivers that use the AIE ioctl method to
    use the alarm_irq_enable method. Other ioctl cmds are left untouched.

    I have not been able to test or even compile most of these drivers.
    Any help to make sure this change is correct would be appreciated!

  • flush_scheduled_work() is deprecated and scheduled to be removed. On
    removal, directly cancel the work, and flush the uie_task in
    rtc-dev.c::clear_uie().

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • RTC core won't allow wakeup alarms to be set if RTC devices' parent (i.e.
    i2c_client or spi_device) isn't wakeup capable.

    For I2C devices there is I2C_CLIENT_WAKE flag exists that we can pass via
    board info, and if set, I2C core will initialize wakeup capability. For
    SPI devices there is no such flag at all.

    I believe that it's not platform code responsibility to allow or disallow
    wakeups, instead, drivers themselves should set the capability if a device
    can trigger wakeups.

    That's what drivers/base/power/sysfs.c says:

    * It is the responsibility of device drivers to enable (or disable)
    * wakeup signaling as part of changing device power states, respecting
    * the policy choices provided through the driver model.

    I2C and SPI RTC devices send wakeup events via interrupt lines, so we
    should set the wakeup capability if IRQ is routed.

    Ideally we should also check irq for wakeup capability before setting
    device's capability, i.e.

    if (can_irq_wake(irq))
    device_set_wakeup_capable(&client->dev, 1);

    But there is no can_irq_wake() call exist, and it is not that trivial to
    implement it for all interrupts controllers and complex/cascaded setups.

    drivers/base/power/sysfs.c also covers these cases:

    * Devices may not be able to generate wakeup events from all power
    * states. Also, the events may be ignored in some configurations;
    * for example, they might need help from other devices that aren't
    * active

    So there is no guarantee that wakeup will actually work, and so I think
    there is no point in being pedantic wrt checking IRQ wakeup capability.

  • Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski recently raised up, and fixed, an issue with the
    rtc_cmos driver, which was referring to an inconsistent driver data.

    This patch ensures that driver data registration happens before
    rtc_device_register().

  • This makes it consistent with other buses (platform, i2c, vio, ...). I'm
    not sure why we use the prefixes, but there must be a reason.

    This was easy enough to do it, and I did it.

  • The rtc_update_irq() might be called with irqs enabled, if a interrupt
    handler was registered without IRQF_DISABLED. Use
    spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore instead of spin_lock/spin_unlock.

    Also update kerneldoc and drivers which do extra work to follow the
    current interface spec, as suggestted by David Brownell.

  • 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]

  • Support the Dallas/Maxim DS1305 and DS1306 RTC chips. These use SPI, and
    support alarms, NVRAM, and a trickle charger for use when their backup
    power supply is a supercap or rechargeable cell.

    This basic driver doesn't yet support suspend/resume or wakealarms.
