2011-01-07watchdog: Improve initialisation error message and documentationBen Hutchings
commit 551423748a4eba55f2eb0fc250d757986471f187 upstream. The error message 'NMI watchdog failed to create perf event...' does not make it clear that this is a fatal error for the watchdog. It also currently prints the error value as a pointer, rather than extracting the error code with PTR_ERR(). Fix that. Add a note to the description of the 'nowatchdog' kernel parameter to associate it with this message.

2011-01-07PM / Runtime: Fix pm_runtime_suspended()Rafael J. Wysocki
commit f08f5a0add20834d3f3d876dfe08005a5df656db upstream. There are some situations (e.g. in __pm_generic_call()), where pm_runtime_suspended() is used to decide whether or not to execute a device's (system) ->suspend() callback. The callback is not executed if pm_runtime_suspended() returns true, but it does so for devices that don't even support runtime PM, because the power.disable_depth device field is ignored by it. This leads to problems (i.e. devices are not suspened when they should), so rework pm_runtime_suspended() so that it returns false if the device's power.disable_depth field is different from zero.

2010-12-01cpufreq: interactive: New 'interactive' governorMike Chan
This governor is designed for latency-sensitive workloads, such as interactive user interfaces. The interactive governor aims to be significantly more responsive to ramp CPU quickly up when CPU-intensive activity begins. Existing governors sample CPU load at a particular rate, typically every X ms. This can lead to under-powering UI threads for the period of time during which the user begins interacting with a previously-idle system until the next sample period happens. The 'interactive' governor uses a different approach. Instead of sampling the CPU at a specified rate, the governor will check whether to scale the CPU frequency up soon after coming out of idle. When the CPU comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks. If the CPU is very busy from exiting idle to when the timer fires then we assume the CPU is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed. If the CPU was not sufficiently busy to immediately ramp to MAX speed, then the governor evaluates the CPU load since the last speed adjustment, choosing the highest value between that longer-term load or the short-term load since idle exit to determine the CPU speed to ramp to. A realtime thread is used for scaling up, giving the remaining tasks the CPU performance benefit, unlike existing governors which are more likely to schedule rampup work to occur after your performance starved tasks have completed. The tuneables for this governor are: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/min_sample_time: The minimum amount of time to spend at the current frequency before ramping down. This is to ensure that the governor has seen enough historic CPU load data to determine the appropriate workload. Default is 80000 uS. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_maxspeed_load The CPU load at which to ramp to max speed. Default is 85.

2010-08-24PCI: PCIe: Ask BIOS for control of all native services at onceRafael J. Wysocki
After commit 852972acff8f10f3a15679be2059bb94916cba5d (ACPI: Disable ASPM if the platform won't provide _OSC control for PCIe) control of the PCIe Capability Structure is unconditionally requested by acpi_pci_root_add(), which in principle may cause problems to happen in two ways. First, the BIOS may refuse to give control of the PCIe Capability Structure if it is not asked for any of the _OSC features depending on it at the same time. Second, the BIOS may assume that control of the _OSC features depending on the PCIe Capability Structure will be requested in the future and may behave incorrectly if that doesn't happen. For this reason, control of the PCIe Capability Structure should always be requested along with control of any other _OSC features that may depend on it (ie. PCIe native PME, PCIe native hot-plug, PCIe AER). Rework the PCIe port driver so that (1) it checks which native PCIe port services can be enabled, according to the BIOS, and (2) it requests control of all these services simultaneously. In particular, this causes pcie_portdrv_probe() to fail if the BIOS refuses to grant control of the PCIe Capability Structure, which means that no native PCIe port services can be enabled for the PCIe Root Complex the given port belongs to. If that happens, ASPM is disabled to avoid problems with mishandling it by the part of the PCIe hierarchy for which control of the PCIe Capability Structure has not been received. Make it possible to override this behavior using 'pcie_ports=native' (use the PCIe native services regardless of the BIOS response to the control request), or 'pcie_ports=compat' (do not use the PCIe native services at all). Accordingly, rework the existing PCIe port service drivers so that they don't request control of the services directly. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become ignored. The actual meaning is that it is not necessary to unplug the emulated devices to safely use the PV ones, even if the platform does not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is safe). I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

Chapter 6 is right about mutex_trylock, but chapter 10 wasn't. This error was introduced during semaphore-to-mutex conversion of the Unreliable guide. :-) If user context which performs mutex_lock() or mutex_trylock() is preempted by interrupt context which performs mutex_trylock() on the same mutex instance, a deadlock occurs. This is because these functions do not disable local IRQs when they operate on mutex->wait_lock.

2010-08-16booting-without-of: Remove nonexistent chapters from TOC, fix numberingAnton Vorontsov
Marvell and GPIO bindings live in their own files, so the TOC should not mention them. Also fix chapters numbering. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
2010-08-16thinkpad-acpi: untangle ACPI/vendor backlight selectionHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
acpi_video_backlight_support() already tells us if ACPI is handling backlight control through the generic ACPI handle. It is better to just trust it. While at it, adjust down a printk priority, and test earlier for brightness_enable=0. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>

2010-08-14ACPI: introduce module parameter acpi.aml_debug_outputZhang Rui
Introduce module parameter acpi.aml_debug_output. With acpi.aml_debug_output set, we can get AML debug object output (Store (AAA, Debug)), even with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG cleared. Together with the runtime custom method mechanism, we can debug AML code problems without rebuilding the kernel.
