2002c258fa tracing: add tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.h
Impact: cleanup

The functions tracing_start/tracing_stop have been moved to kernel.h.
These are not the functions a developer most likely wants to use
when they want to insert a place to stop tracing and restart it from
user space.

tracing_start/tracing_stop was created to work with things like
suspend to ram, where even calling smp_processor_id() can crash the
system. The tracing_start/tracing_stop was used to stop the tracer from
doing anything. These are still light weight functions, but add a bit
more overhead to be able to stop the tracers. They also have no interface
back to userland. That is, if the kernel calls tracing_stop, userland
can not start tracing.

What a developer most likely wants to use is tracing_on/tracing_off.
These are very light weight functions (simply sets or clears a bit).
These functions just stop recording into the ring buffer. The tracers
don't even know that this happens except that they would receive NULL
from the ring_buffer_lock_reserve function.

Also, there's a way for the user land to enable or disable this bit.
In debugfs/tracing/tracing_on, a user may echo "0" (same as tracing_off())
or echo "1" (same as tracing_on()) into this file. This becomes handy when
a kernel developer is debugging and wants tracing to turn off when it
hits an anomaly. Then the developer can examine the trace, and restart
tracing if they want to try again (echo 1 > tracing_on).

This patch moves the prototypes for tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.h
and comments their use, so that a kernel developer will know how
to use them.

5825627c94 libata: fix dma_unmap_sg misuse
libata passes the returned value of dma_map_sg() to
dma_unmap_sg(),which is the misuse of dma_unmap_sg().

DMA-mapping.txt says:

To unmap a scatterlist, just call:

	pci_unmap_sg(pdev, sglist, nents, direction);

Again, make sure DMA activity has already finished.

PLEASE NOTE:  The 'nents' argument to the pci_unmap_sg call must be
              the _same_ one you passed into the pci_map_sg call,
	      it should _NOT_ be the 'count' value _returned_ from the
              pci_map_sg call.

e7d3ef13d5 libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5s
This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to
be ready.  The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be
ready.

On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..."
message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly
timeout/error messages.

Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a
soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also
times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out,
and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which
will finally get things working.

Impact: decrease hangs risks with the graph tracer on slow systems

Since the function graph tracer can spend too much time on timer
interrupts, it's better now to use the more lightweight local
clock. Anyway, the function graph traces are more reliable on a

9d40bbda59 vlan: Fix vlan-in-vlan crashes.
As analyzed by Patrick McHardy, vlan needs to reset it's
netdev_ops pointer in it's ->init() function but this
leaves the compat method pointers stale.

Add a netdev_resync_ops() and call it from the vlan code.

Any other driver which changes ->netdev_ops after register_netdevice()
will need to call this new function after doing so too.

With help from Patrick McHardy.

6335d05548 ASoC: make ops a pointer in 'struct snd_soc_dai'
Considering the fact that most cpu_dai or codec_dai are using a same
'snd_soc_dai_ops' for several similar interfaces, 'ops' would be better
made a pointer instead, to make sharing easier and code a bit cleaner.

The patch below is rather preliminary since the asoc tree is being
actively developed, and this touches almost every piece of code,
(and possibly many others in development need to be changed as
well). Building of all codecs are OK, yet to every SoC, I didn't test
that.

ec67624d33 ASoC: Add GPIO support for jack reporting interface
Add GPIO support to jack reporting framework in ASoC using gpiolib calls.
The gpio support exports two new functions: snd_soc_jack_add_gpios and
snd_soc_jack_free_gpios.

Client drivers using gpio feature must pass an array of jack_gpio pins
belonging to a specific jack to the snd_soc_jack_add_gpios function. The
framework will request the gpios, set the data direction and request irq.
The framework will update power status of related jack_pins when an event on
the gpio pins comes according to the reporting bits defined for each gpio.

All gpio resources allocated when adding jack_gpio pins can be released
using snd_soc_jack_free_gpios function.

implement and a flag NTF_USE that when set in a netwlink update request

a1d2f09544 crypto: compress - Add pcomp interface
The current "comp" crypto interface supports one-shot (de)compression only,
i.e. the whole data buffer to be (de)compressed must be passed at once, and
the whole (de)compressed data buffer will be received at once.
In several use-cases (e.g. compressed file systems that store files in big
compressed blocks), this workflow is not suitable.
Furthermore, the "comp" type doesn't provide for the configuration of
(de)compression parameters, and always allocates workspace memory for both
compression and decompression, which may waste memory.

To solve this, add a "pcomp" partial (de)compression interface that provides
the following operations:
  - crypto_compress_{init,update,final}() for compression,
  - crypto_decompress_{init,update,final}() for decompression,
  - crypto_{,de}compress_setup(), to configure (de)compression parameters
    (incl. allocating workspace memory).

The (de)compression methods take a struct comp_request, which was mimicked
after the z_stream object in zlib, and contains buffer pointer and length
pairs for input and output.

The setup methods take an opaque parameter pointer and length pair. Parameters
are supposed to be encoded using netlink attributes, whose meanings depend on
the actual (name of the) (de)compression algorithm.

17edde5209 netns: Remove net_alive
It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.

Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb.  So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.

Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.

The current definition of CALLER_ADDRx isn't suitable for all platforms.
E.g. for ARM __builtin_return_address(N) doesn't work for N > 0 and
AFAIK for powerpc there are no frame pointers needed to have a working
__builtin_return_address.  This patch allows defining the CALLER_ADDRx
macros in <asm/ftrace.h> and let these take precedence.

Because now <asm/ftrace.h> is included unconditionally in
<linux/ftrace.h> all archs that don't already had this include get an
empty one for free.

d20e3b0384 tracing: add TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL to record complex entries
Tom Zanussi pointed out that the simple TRACE_FIELD was not enough to
record trace data that required memcpy. This patch addresses this issue
by adding a TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL. The format is similar to TRACE_FIELD
but looks like so:

  TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(type_item, item, cmd)

What TRACE_FIELD gave was:

  TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)

The TRACE_FIELD would be used in declaring a structure:

  struct {
	type	item;
  };

And later assign it via:

  entry->item = assign;

What TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL gives us is:

In the declaration of the structure:

  struct {
	type_item;
  };

And the assignment:

This change log will explain the one example used in the patch:

 TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch,
	TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
		struct task_struct *next),
	TPARGS(rq, prev, next),
	TPFMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d",
	      prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid),
	TRACE_STRUCT(
		TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid)
		TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio)
		TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN],
				    next_comm,
				    TPCMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm,
						 next->comm,
						 TASK_COMM_LEN)))
		TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid)
		TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio)
	),
	TPRAWFMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d")
	);

 The struct will be create as:

  struct {
	pid_t		prev_pid;
	int		prev_prio;
	char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];
	pid_t		next_pid;
	int		next_prio;
  };

Note the TRACE_ENTRY in the cmd part of TRACE_SPECIAL. TRACE_ENTRY will
be set by the tracer to point to the structure inside the trace buffer.

  entry->prev_pid	= prev->pid;
  entry->prev_prio	= prev->prio;
  memcpy(entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
  entry->next_pid	= next->pid;
  entry->next_prio	= next->prio

c747583d19 wimax/i2400m: implement RX reorder support
Allow the device to give the driver RX data with reorder information.

When that is done, the device will indicate the driver if a packet has
to be held in a (sorted) queue. It will also tell the driver when held
packets have to be released to the OS.

This is done to improve the WiMAX-protocol level retransmission
support when missing frames are detected.

The code docs provide details about the implementation.

In general, this just hooks into the RX path in rx.c; if a packet with
the reorder bit in the RX header is detected, the reorder information
in the header is extracted and one of the four main reorder operations
are executed. In one case (queue) no packet will be delivered to the
networking stack, just queued, whereas in the others (reset, update_ws
and queue_update_ws), queued packet might be delivered depending on
the window start for the specific queue.

The modifications to files other than rx.c are:

- control.c: during device initialization, enable reordering support
  if the rx_reorder_disabled module parameter is not enabled

- driver.c: expose a rx_reorder_disable module parameter and call
  i2400m_rx_setup/release() to initialize/shutdown RX reorder
  support.

- i2400m.h: introduce members in 'struct i2400m' needed for
  implementing reorder support.

- linux/i2400m.h: introduce TLVs, commands and constant definitions
  related to RX reorder

Last but not least, the rx reorder code includes an small circular log
where the last N reorder operations are recorded to be displayed in
case of inconsistency. Otherwise diagnosing issues would be almost
impossible.

fd5c565c0c wimax/i2400m: support extended data RX protocol (no need to reallocate skbs)
Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that
each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to
implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits).

However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has
been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking
stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <=
v1.3) to make room for it.

- control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver
  wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the
  definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h.

- rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data
  protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to
  netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx().

- netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet
  address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking
  stack.

- cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was
  renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

8987691a4a wimax/i2400m: allow control of the base-station idle mode timeout
For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while
connected after a certain time of the link not being used for tx or
rx. In this mode, the device pages the base-station regularly and when
data is ready to be transmitted, the link is revived.

This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be
idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs
interace.

It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module
variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version
(upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3).

The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is
much more limited and can be only done at initialization time. Thus,
the sysfs file will return -ENOSYS on older ones.
