USB: gadget: composite: Better string override handling

The iManufatcurer, iProduct and iSerialNumber composite module
parameters were only used when the gadget driver registers
strings for manufacturer, product and serial number.  If the
gadget never bothered to set corresponding fields in USB device
descriptors those module parameters are ignored.

This commit makes the parameters work even if the strings ID
have not been assigned.  It also changes the way IDs are
overridden -- what IDs are overridden is now saved in
usb_composite_dev structure -- which makes it unnecessary to
modify the string tables the way previous code did.

The commit also adds a iProduct and iManufatcurer fields to the
usb_composite_device structure.  If they are set, appropriate
strings are reserved and added to device descriptor.  This makes
it unnecessary for gadget drivers to maintain code for setting
those.  If iProduct is not set it defaults to
usb_composite_device::name; if iManufatcurer is not set
a default "<system> <release> with <gadget-name>" is used.

The last thing is that if needs_serial field of

mask rather than enabling/disabling the system interrupt.  This cleans
up the driver so that it doesn't rely on interrupts being disabled

i2c-imx: do not allow interruptions when waiting for I2C to complete

The i2c_imx_trx_complete() function is using
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() to wait for the I2C controller to
signal that it has completed an I2C bus operation. If the process that
causes the I2C operation receives a signal, the wait will be
interrupted, returning an error. It is better to let the I2C operation
finished before handling the signal (i.e. returning into userspace).

It is safe to use wait_event_timeout() instead, because the timeout
will allow the process to exit if the I2C bus hangs. It's also better
to allow the I2C operation to finish, because unacknowledged I2C
operations can cause the I2C bus to hang.

v4l1: fix 32-bit compat microcode loading translation

The compat code for the VIDIOCSMICROCODE ioctl is totally buggered.
It's only used by the VIDEO_STRADIS driver, and that one is scheduled to
staging and eventually removed unless somebody steps up to maintain it
(at which point it should use request_firmware() rather than some magic
ioctl).  So we'll get rid of it eventually.

But in the meantime, the compatibility ioctl code is broken, and this
tries to get it to at least limp along (even if Mauro suggested just
deleting it entirely, which may be the right thing to do - I don't think

Linus Torvalds [Fri, 15 Oct 2010 18:09:28 +0000 (11:09 -0700)]
De-pessimize rds_page_copy_user

Don't try to "optimize" rds_page_copy_user() by using kmap_atomic() and
the unsafe atomic user mode accessor functions.  It's actually slower
than the straightforward code on any reasonable modern CPU.

Back when the code was written (although probably not by the time it was
actually merged, though), 32-bit x86 may have been the dominant
architecture.  And there kmap_atomic() can be a lot faster than kmap()
(unless you have very good locality, in which case the virtual address
caching by kmap() can overcome all the downsides).

But these days, x86-64 may not be more populous, but it's getting there
(and if you care about performance, it's definitely already there -
you'd have upgraded your CPU's already in the last few years).  And on
x86-64, the non-kmap_atomic() version is faster, simply because the code
is simpler and doesn't have the "re-try page fault" case.

People with old hardware are not likely to care about RDS anyway, and
the optimization for the 32-bit case is simply buggy, since it doesn't
verify the user addresses properly.

and squash the error, in case -ENOSYS is returned from the bus suspend

mmc_sdio_suspend() is using this whenever at least one of the card's SDIO

it is agreed to force removal of the entire card.

handling cleanup; unfortunately, it incorrectly assumed that the

ubd tries to issue as many requests as possible to io_thread.  When

put on the restart list and issuing stops.  On IO completion, devices

ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a
request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where
to restart in its current request.  ubd needs to keep track of the
issue position itself because,

* blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of
  _completion_ position.

* Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's
  difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is.

ioat2: fix performance regression

Commit 79bd524 "DMAENGINE: generic channel status v2" changed the interface for
how dma channel progress is retrieved.  It inadvertently exported an internal
helper function ioat_tx_status() instead of ioat_dma_tx_status().  The latter
polls the hardware to get the latest completion state, while the helper just
evaluates the current state without touching hardware.  The effect is that we
end up waiting for completion timeouts or descriptor allocation errors before
the completion state is updated.

iperf (before fix):
[SUM]  0.0-41.3 sec   364 MBytes  73.9 Mbits/sec

iperf (after fix):
[SUM]  0.0- 4.5 sec   499 MBytes   940 Mbits/sec

This is a regression starting with 2.6.35.

net: allow FEC driver to use fixed PHY support

At least one board using the FEC driver does not have a conventional
PHY attached to it, it is directly connected to a somewhat simple
ethernet switch (the board is the SnapGear/LITE, and the attached
4-port ethernet switch is a RealTek RTL8305). This switch does not
present the usual register interface of a PHY, it presents nothing.
So a PHY scan will find nothing - it finds ID's of 0 for each PHY
on the attached MII bus.

After the FEC driver was changed to use phylib for supporting PHYs
it no longer works on this particular board/switch setup.

Add code support to use a fixed phy if no PHY is found on the MII bus.
This is based on the way the cpmac.c driver solved this same problem.

14 years agoring-buffer: Fix typo of time extends per page
Steven Rostedt [Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:06:43 +0000 (12:06 -0400)]
ring-buffer: Fix typo of time extends per page

Time stamps for the ring buffer are created by the difference between
two events. Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp.
Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time
is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events
happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted
to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which
is good for ~18 years.

Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event.
If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering,
the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then
after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer.

This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds
a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the
beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual
data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill
more than a page without any data.

When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends
since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never
given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running
forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page,
a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the
iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page
a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace
is also disabled with it).

There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can
hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen
18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name
of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The
size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only
8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on
a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size
cutting the amount in half.

The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only
need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the
warning:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
 # echo function > current_tracer
 # echo 'common_pid < 0' > events/ftrace/function/filter
 # echo > trace
 # echo 1 > trace_marker
 # sleep 120
 # cat trace

Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace
functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing
the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer,
then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page,
sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this
guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will
trigger the bug.

This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning.
