  • iio-for-3.13b

    Second set of new functionality for IIO in the 3.13 cycle - with bug fixes for first set.
    
    This is a small, mainly to get a couple of compile bug related fixes into
    the tree ASAP.
    
    New device support:
    1) Add ad5446 dac support to the ad5641 driver.
    
    New functionality and cleanups:
    1) Optional power supply regulators for the st pressure sensors drivers using
       the new optional regulator interface.
    2) Bit of tidying up of naming in the sysfs trigger.
    
    Bug fixes from the previous series:
    1) Missing select IIO_BUFFER for ti_am335x_adc
    2) Drop a bonus bracket in iio-trig-bfin-timmer
    
  • pm+acpi-3.12-rc3

    ACPI and power management fixes for 3.12-rc3
    
     1) After recent locking changes in the cpufreq core it is possible
        to trigger BUG_ON(!policy) in lock_policy_rwsem_read() if
        cpufreq_get() is called before registering a cpufreq driver.
        Fix from Viresh Kumar.
    
     2) If intel_pstate has been loaded already, it doesn't make sense
        to do anything in acpi_cpufreq_init() and moreover doing something
        in there in that case may be harmful, so make that function return
        immediately if another cpufreq driver is already present.  From
        Yinghai Lu.
    
     3) The ACPI IPMI driver sometimes attempts to acquire a mutex from
        interrupt context, which can be avoided by replacing that mutex
        with a spinlock.  From Lv Zheng.
    
     4) A NULL pointer may be dereferenced by the exynos5440 cpufreq
        driver if a memory allocation made by it fails.  Fix from
        Sachin Kamat.
    
     5) Hanjun Guo's commit fixes a typo in the kerneldoc comment
        documenting acpi_bus_unregister_driver().

  • iio-for-3.13a

    First round of new drivers, functionality and cleanups for IIO in the 3.13 cycle
    
    A number of new drivers and some new functionality + a lot of cleanups
    all over IIO.
    
    New Core Elements
    
    1) New INT_TIME info_mask element for integration time, which may have
       different effects on measurement noise and similar, than an amplifier
       and hence is different from existing SCALE.  Already existed in some
       drivers as a custom attribute.
    
    2) Introduce a iio_push_buffers_with_timestamp helper to cover the common
       case of filling the last 64 bits of data to be passed to the buffer with
       a timestamp.  Applied to lots of drivers. Cuts down on repeated code and
       moves a slightly fiddly bit of logic into a single location.
    
    3) Introduce info_mask_[shared_by_dir/shared_by_all] elements to allow support
       of elements such as sampling_frequency which is typically shared by all
       input channels on a device.  This reduces code and makes these controls
       available from in kernel consumers of IIO devices.
    
    New drivers
    
    1) MCP3422/3/4 ADC
    
    2) TSL4531 ambient light sensor
    
    3) TCS3472/5 color light sensor
    
    4) GP2AP020A00F ambient light / proximity sensor
    
    5) LPS001WP support added to ST pressure sensor driver.
    
    New driver functionality
    
    1) ti_am335x_adc Add buffered sampling support.
       This device has a hardware fifo that is fed directly into an IIO kfifo
       buffer based on a watershed interrupt.  Note this will act as an example
       of how to handle this increasingly common type of device.
       The only previous example - sca3000 - take a less than optimal approach
       which is largely why it is still in staging.
       A couple of little cleanups for that new functionality followed later.
    
    Core cleanups:
    
    1) MAINTAINERS - Sachin actually brought my email address up to date because
       I said I'd do it and never got around to it :)
    
    2) Assign buffer list elements as single element lists to simplify the
       iio_buffer_is_active logic.
    
    3) wake_up_interruptible_poll instead of wake_up_interruptible to only wake
       up threads waiting for poll notifications.
    
    4) Add O_CLOEXEC flag to anon_inode_get_fd call for IIO event interface.
    
    5) Change iio_push_to_buffers to take a void * pointer so as to avoid some
       annoying and unnecessary type casts.
    
    6) iio_compute_scan_bytes incorrectly took a long rather than unsigned long.
    
    7) Various minor tidy ups.
    
    Driver cleanups (in no particular order)
    
    1) Another set of devm_ allocations patches from Sachin Kamat.
    
    2) tsl2x7x - 0 to NULL cleanup.
    
    3) hmc5843 - fix missing > in MODULE_AUTHOR
    
    4) Set of strict_strto* to kstrto* conversions.
    
    5) mxs-lradc - fix ordering of resource removal to match creation
    
    6) mxs-lradc - add MODULE_ALIAS
    
    7) adc7606 - drop a work pending test duplicated in core functions.
    
    8) hmc5843 - devm_ allocation patch
    
    9) Series of redundant breaks removed.
    
    10) ad2s1200 - pr_err -> dev_err
    
    11) adjd_s311 - use INT_TIME
    
    12)  ST sensors - large set of cleanups from Lee Jones and removed restriction
        to using only triggers provided by the st_sensors themselves from
        Dennis Ciocca.
    
    13) dummy and tmp006 provide sampling_frequency via info_mask_shared_by_all.
    
    14) tcs3472 - fix incorrect buffer size and wrong device pointer used in
        suspend / resume functions.
    
    15) max1363 - use defaults for buffer setup ops as provided by the triggered
        buffer helpers as they are the same as were specified in max1363 driver.
    
    16) Trivial tidy ups in a number of other drivers.
    
  • iio-fixes-for-3.12a

    First round of IIO fixes for 3.12
    
    A series of wrong 'struct dev' assumptions in suspend/resume callbacks
    following on from this issue being identified in a new driver review.
    One to watch out for in future.
    
    A number of driver specific fixes
    1) at91 - fix a overflow in clock rate computation
    2) dummy - Kconfig dependency issue
    3) isl29018 - uninitialized value
    4) hmc5843 - measurement conversion bug introduced by recent cleanup.
    5) ade7854-spi - wrong return value.
    
    Some IIO core fixes
    1) Wrong value picked up for event code creation for a modified channel
    2) A null dereference on failure to initialize a buffer after no buffer has
       been in use, when using the available_scan_masks approach.
    3) Sampling not stopped when a device is removed. Effects forced removal
       such as hot unplugging.
    4) Prevent device going away if a chrdev is still open in userspace.
    5) Prevent race on chardev opening and device being freed.
    6) Add a missing iio_buffer_init in the call back buffer.
    
    These last few are the first part of a set from Lars-Peter Clausen who
    has been taking a closer look at our removal paths and buffer handling
    than anyone has for quite some time.

  • iommu-updates-v3.12

    IOMMU Updates for Linux v3.12
    
    This round the updates contain:
    
    	* A new driver for the Freescale PAMU IOMMU from Varun Sethi.
    	  This driver has cooked for a while and required changes to the
    	  IOMMU-API and infrastructure that were already merged before.
    	* Updates for the ARM-SMMU driver from Will Deacon
    	* Various fixes, the most important one is probably a fix from
    	  Alex Williamson for a memory leak in the VT-d page-table
    	  freeing code
    
    In summary not all that much. The biggest part in the diffstat is the
    new PAMU driver.

    ACPI and power management fixes for 3.12-rc1
    
     1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events
    
      After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting breakage
      on a system that triggers device check notifications during boot for
      non-existing devices.  Although those notifications are really
      spurious, we should be able to deal with them nevertheless and that
      shouldn't introduce too much overhead.  Four commits to make that
      work properly.
    
     2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework
    
      This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
      ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
      hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
      time.  Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
      acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
      which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.
    
     3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix
    
      The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
      Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
      of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the information
      expected by the driver.  Fix from Mika Westerberg, for stable.
    
     4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation
    
      AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
      executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice).  From
      Bob Moore.
    
     5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup
    
      There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
      object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one that
      the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take more
      criteria into account in those cases.
    
     6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases
    
      If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
      some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
      pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.
    
     7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug
    
      Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with cpufreq
      related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of fixes
      from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.
    
     8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute
    
      Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
      read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state won't
      work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies.  Fix
      from Andreas Schwab.
    
     9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit
    
      Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
      serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency problems
      in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but unfortunately
      it introduced several problems of its own, so I decided to revert it
      now and address the original problems later in a more robust way.
    
    10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.
    
    11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume
    
      The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs attributes
      over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL pointer
      dereference that caused it to crash during the second attempt to
      suspend.  Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that problem and a
      couple of related issues.
    
    12) cpufreq locking fix
    
      cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
      it acquires it for writing.  Fix from Lan Tianyu.

  • vfio-v3.12-rc0

    dac09b57 · vfio: fix documentation ·
    VFIO updates include safer default file flags for VFIO device fds,
    an external user interface exported to allow other modules to hold
    references to VFIO groups, a fix to test for extended config space
    on PCIe and PCI-x, and new hot reset interfaces for PCI devices
    which allows the user to do PCI bus/slot resets when all of the
    devices affected by the reset are owned by the user.
    
    For this last feature, the PCI bus reset interface, I depend on
    changes already merged from Bjorn's PCI pull request.  I therefore
    merged my tree up to commit cb3e433, which I think was the correct
    action, but as Stephen Rothwell noted, I failed to provide a commit
    message indicating why the merge was required.  Sorry for that.
    Thanks,
    Alex
    
  • gpio-v3.12-1

    This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.12 series:
    
    - A new driver for the TZ1090 PDC which is used on the metag
      architecture.
    
    - A new driver for the Kontron ETX or COMexpress GPIO block.
      This is found on some ETX x86 devices.
    
    - A new driver for the Fintek Super-I/O chips, used on
      some x86 boards.
    
    - Added device tree probing on a few select GPIO blocks.
    
    - Drop the Exynos support from the Samsung GPIO driver.
      The Samsung maintainers have moved over to use the
      modernized pin control driver to provide GPIO for the
      modern platforms instead.
    
    - The usual bunch of non-critical fixes and cleanups.

  • pinctrl-v3.12-1

    Bulk pin control changes for the v3.12 series:
    
    - Refactorings for generic pin config handling in the core.
    
    - Factor out a set of device tree utilities for use in all
      drivers, to parse and allocate maps from the device tree.
    
    - Some fixes to the core such as more nitpicky locking.
    
    - Pushed down config array iteration into the drivers.
      This patch is necessary for drivers that want to iterate
      over configs and pile up a stack of alterations to the
      same register(s), or if the driver wants to take a local
      spinlock when committing the configuration.
    
    - A new driver for the Texas Instruments Palmas PMIC by
      Laxman Dewangan. This is used on the Tegra systems.
    
    - A major cleanup and modernization of the PFC (Super Hitachi
      and ARM SHmobile) pin controller and subdrivers.
    
    - Support for the A20 and A31 sunxi (AllWinner) SoCs.
    
    - A huge pile of fixes and cleanups: Axel Lin, Jingoo Han

    drm/tegra: Changes for v3.12-rc1
    
    Only a couple of small patches this time around. These are mostly fixes
    for minor bugs that showed up, but there is also some preparatory work
    that will come in handy for future patches.
