  • Add an implementation of DMA scatter/gather allocator and handling
    routines for videobuf2.

    For mmap operation mode it is implemented on top of
    alloc_page + sg_set_page/_free_page.

    For userptr operation mode it is implemented on top of
    get_user_pages + sg_set_page/put_page.

  • Videobuf2 is a Video for Linux 2 API-compatible driver framework for
    multimedia devices. It acts as an intermediate layer between userspace
    applications and device drivers. It also provides low-level, modular
    memory management functions for drivers.

    Videobuf2 eases driver development, reduces drivers' code size and aids in
    proper and consistent implementation of V4L2 API in drivers.

    Videobuf2 memory management backend is fully modular. This allows custom
    memory management routines for devices and platforms with non-standard
    memory management requirements to be plugged in, without changing the
    high-level buffer management functions and API.

    The framework provides:
    - implementations of streaming I/O V4L2 ioctls and file operations
    - high-level video buffer, video queue and state management functions
    - video buffer memory allocation and management

  • Multi-planar API is as a backwards-compatible extension of the V4L2 API,
    which allows video buffers to consist of one or more planes. Planes are
    separate memory buffers; each has its own mapping, backed by usually
    separate physical memory buffers.

    Many different uses for the multi-planar API are possible, examples
    include:
    - embedded devices requiring video components to be placed in physically
    separate buffers, e.g. for Samsung S3C/S5P SoC series' video codec,
    Y and interleaved Cb/Cr components reside in buffers in different
    memory banks;
    - applications may receive (or choose to store) video data of one video
    buffer in separate memory buffers; such data would have to be temporarily
    copied together into one buffer before passing it to a V4L2 device;
    - applications or drivers may want to pass metadata related to a buffer and
    it may not be possible to place it in the same buffer, together with video
    data.

  • This patch is adding support for Technisat's new USB2.0 DVB-S/S2 receiver
    device. The development was sponsored by Technisat.

    The Green led is toggle depending on the frontend-state. The Red LED is turned
    on all the time.

    The MAC address reading from the EEPROM along with the
    LRC-method to check whether its valid.

    Support for the IR-receiver of the Technisat USB2 box. The keys of
    small, black remote-control are built-in, repeated key behaviour are
    simulated.

    The i2c-mutex of the dvb-usb-structure is used as a general mutex for
    USB requests, as there are 3 threads racing for atomic requests
    consisting of multiple usb-requests.

    A module option is there which disables the toggling of LEDs by the
    driver on certain triggers. Useful when being used in a "dark"
    environment.

  • oom_kill_process() starts with victim_points == 0. This means that
    (most likely) any child has more points and can be killed erroneously.

    Also, "children has a different mm" doesn't match the reality, we should
    check child->mm != t->mm. This check is not exactly correct if t->mm ==
    NULL but this doesn't really matter, oom_kill_task() will kill them
    anyway.

    Note: "Kill all processes sharing p->mm" in oom_kill_task() is wrong
    too.

  • Since commit 32fd6901 (MIPS: Alchemy: get rid of common/reset.c)
    Alchemy-based boards use their own reset function. For MTX-1 and XXS1500,
    the reset function pokes at the BCSR.SYSTEM_RESET register, but this does
    not work. According to Bruno Randolf, this was not tested when written.

    Previously, the generic au1000_restart() routine called the board specific
    reset function, which for MTX-1 and XXS1500 did not work, but finally made
    a jump to the reset vector, which really triggers a system restart. Fix
    reboot for both targets by jumping to the reset vector.

  • To avoid forking usermode thread when creating an idle task, move fork_idle
    to a work queue.

    If kernel starts with maxcpus= option which does not bring all available
    cpus online at boot time, idle tasks for offline cpus are not created. If
    later offline cpus are hotplugged through sysfs, __cpu_up is called in
    the context of the user task, and fork_idle copies its non-zero mm
    pointer. This causes BUG() in per_cpu_trap_init.

    This also avoids issues with resource limits of the CPU writing to sysfs,
    containers, maybe others.

    ARM: 6205/1: perf: ensure counter delta is treated as unsigned

    Hardware performance counters on ARM are 32-bits wide but atomic64_t
    variables are used to represent counter data in the hw_perf_event structure.

    The armpmu_event_update function right-shifts a signed 64-bit delta variable
    and adds the result to the event count. This can lead to shifting in sign-bits
    if the MSB of the 32-bit counter value is set. This results in perf output
    such as:

    Performance counter stats for 'sleep 20':

    - Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch

    That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...

  • Ignore events that are in off/error state or belong to a different PMU.

    This patch originates from the following commit for ARM by Will Deacon:

    - 65b4711ff513767341aa1915c822de6ec0de65cb
    ARM: 6352/1: perf: fix event validation

    The validate_event function in the ARM perf events backend has the
    following problems:

    1.) Events that are disabled count towards the cost.
    2.) Events associated with other PMUs [for example, software events or
    breakpoints] do not count towards the cost, but do fail validation,
    causing the group to fail.

    This patch changes validate_event so that it ignores events in the
    PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF state or that are scheduled for other PMUs.

    perf: Rework the PMU methods

    Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
    pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.

    The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
    keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
    the generic stopped state.

    This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
    code paths (like IRQ handlers).

    It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
    a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).

    The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
    how the architecture implemented the throttled state:

    1) We disable the counter:
    a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
    b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state

    2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

    For MIPSXX, the stopped state is implemented in the way of 1.b as above.

    irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks

    Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
    most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
    system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.

    Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
    a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
    benefit.

    The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
    possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
    built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.

    Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
    callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
    irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
    work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
    processing the work.

    For MIPSXX, we need to call irq_work_run() at the tail of the perf IRQ
    handler as described above.

  • GCC-4.6 can find more unused code than previous versions could.

    In the case of arch/mips/math-emu/ieee754int.h, the COMPXSP and
    COMPXDP macros are used in several places, but a couple of them leave
    xs unused. The easiest thing to do is mark it as __maybe_unused to
    quiet the warning.

  • The variable arg3 in _sys_sysmips() is unused. Remove it.

  • GCC-4.6 can find more unused code than previous versions could.

    In the case of protected_restore_fp_context{,32}, the variable tmp is
    really used. Its use is tricky in that we really care about the side
    effects of the __put_user() calls. So we must mark tmp with
    __maybe_unused to quiet the warning.

  • Loongson builds have an ad-hoc cmdline default of "console=ttyS0,115200
    root=/dev/hda1". These settings come from a vendor; I remember builds
    from Lemote branch requiring a "console=tty" override in order to get a
    working console.

    At least on Yeeloong, they're particularly useless: there's no external
    serial port, and the IDE drive is now recognised as /dev/sda.

  • The sysmips(MIPS_FIXADE, ...) case contains an obvious copy-and-paste
    error in the handling of the TIF_LOGADE flag. Fix that

  • trace.func should be set to the recorded ip of the mcount calling site
    in the __mcount_loc section to filter the function entries configured
    through the tracing/set_graph_function interface, but before, this is
    set to the self_ra(the return address of mcount), which has made
    set_graph_function not work as expected.

    This fixes it via calculating the right recorded ip in the __mcount_loc
    section and assign it to trace.func.

  • This moves the comments out of ftrace_make_nop() and cleans it. At the
    same time, a macro MCOUNT_OFFSET_INSNS is defined for sharing with the
    next patch.
