The newly introduced as3722_i2c_suspend/resume functions are built unconditionally, but only used when power management is enabled, so we get a warning otherwise: drivers/mfd/as3722.c:427:12: warning: 'as3722_i2c_suspend' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] drivers/mfd/as3722.c:438:12: warning: 'as3722_i2c_resume' defined but not used [-Wunused-function] This marks them both as __maybe_unused, which avoids an ugly #ifdef and gives us best compile-time coverage. When they are unused, the compiler will silently drop the functions from its output.

wm831x_unique_id_show currently displays an interesting pattern of '0' and '3' characters which isn't very useful (figuring out why is left as an exercise for the reader). Presumably "buf[i]" should have been "id[i] & 0xff". But while there, it is much simpler to simply use %phN and do all the formatting at once.

Currently syscon has a fixed configuration of 32 bits for register and values widths. In some cases, it would be desirable to be able to customize the value width. For example, certain boards (like the ones manufactured by Technologic Systems) have a FPGA that is memory-mapped, but its registers are only 16-bit wide. This patch adds an optional "reg-io-width" DT binding for syscon that allows to change the width for the data bus (i.e. val_bits). If this property is provided, it will also set the register stride to reg-io-width's value. If not provided, the default configuration is used.

cros_ec_cmd_xfer_spi and cros_ec_pkt_xfer_spi generally work like this: - Pull CS down (active), wait a bit, then send a command - Wait for response (multiple requests) - Wait a while, pull CS up (inactive) These operations, individually, lock the SPI bus, but there is nothing preventing the SPI framework from interleaving messages intended for other devices as the bus is unlocked in between. This is a problem as the EC expects CS to be held low for the whole duration. Solution: Lock the SPI bus during the whole transaction, to make sure that no other messages can be interleaved.

The as3722 device is registered as an irqchip and the as3722-rtc interrupt is one of it's interrupt sources. When using the as3722-rtc as a wake-up device from suspend, the following is seen: PM: Syncing filesystems ... done. Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.001 seconds) done. Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.001 seconds) done. Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug) PM: suspend of devices complete after 161.119 msecs PM: late suspend of devices complete after 1.048 msecs PM: noirq suspend of devices complete after 0.756 msecs Disabling non-boot CPUs ... CPU1: shutdown CPU2: shutdown CPU3: shutdown Entering suspend state LP1 Enabling non-boot CPUs ... CPU1 is up CPU2 is up CPU3 is up PM: noirq resume of devices complete after 0.487 msecs as3722 4-0040: Failed to read IRQ status: -16 as3722 4-0040: Failed to read IRQ status: -16 as3722 4-0040: Failed to read IRQ status: -16 as3722 4-0040: Failed to read IRQ status: -16 ... The reason why the as3722 interrupt status cannot be read is because the as3722 interrupt is not masked during suspend and when the as3722-rtc interrupt occurs, to wake-up the device, the interrupt is seen before the i2c controller has been resumed in order to read the as3722 interrupt status. The as3722-rtc driver sets it's interrupt as a wake-up source during suspend, which gets propagated to the parent as3722 interrupt. However, the as3722-rtc driver cannot disable it's interrupt during suspend otherwise we would never be woken up and so the as3722 must disable it's interrupt instead. Fix this by disabling the as3722 interrupt during suspend. To ensure that a wake-up event from the as3722 is not missing, enable the as3722 interrupt as a wake-up source before disabling the interrupt on entering suspend.

Currently S2MPSXX multifunction device is named as *-pmic, and these MFDs also supports regulator as a one of its MFD cell which has the same name, because current name is confusing and we want to sort it out. We did discussed different approaches about how the MFD and it cells need to be named here [1]. Based in the discussion this patch rename MFD regulator name as *-regulator instead of current *-pmic. This patch also changes the corresponding entries in the regulator driver to keep git-bisect happy.

Vladimir Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed5: "slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk"). Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 03374518 "slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk"). I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree users of the API.

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users. Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API. A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects. The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing" the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg. To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this. If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough to not add any asm code. Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus, we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to memcg_kmem_get_cache(). This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache. As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able to handle an array of objects. A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter (cnt). Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single object free. This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in __slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free(). Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if objects don't belong to the same slab-page. These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached freelists it introduces and constructs. Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change, when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels. A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on huge pages. The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default. Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to emulate standard 2MB huge pages. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

Use the 22bit instead of the 17bit branch instruction on a 64bit kernel to reach the do_syscall_trace_exit function from the gateway page. A huge page enabled kernel may need the additional branch distance bits. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
