This driver only supports a cmd->start_src of TRIG_INT for ao commands. The cmd->start_arg is trivially validated to be 0. For TRIG_INT source, the cmd->start_arg is actually the valid trig_num that is passed to the async (*inttrig) callback. Refactor the (*inttrig) function so that the cmd->start_arg is used to check the trig_num instead of the open coded value.

The cmd->start_arg should be trivially validated in Step 3 of the (*do_cmdtest) functions. Add the necessary code. For the analog output, a cmd->start_src of TRIG_NOW and TRIG_INT is supported. For both sources the cmd->start_arg is validated to be 0. For a TRIG_INT source, the cmd->start_Arg is actually the valid trig_num that is passed to the async (*inttrig) callback.

This driver trivially validates the cmd->start_arg for all cmd->start_src values to be 0. For TRIG_INT source, the cmd->start_arg is actually the valid trig_num that is passed to the async (*inttrig) callback.

H Hartley Sweeten authored
This driver supports three cmd->start_src values, TRIG_NOW, TRIG_EXT, and TRIG_INT. TRIG_NOW sources should always have an arg of 0 and arg for TRIG_EXT sources is driver specific. This driver does not use the cmd->start_arg with the TRIG_EXT source so a trivial value of 0 is good. When the cmd->start_src is TRIG_INT the cmd->start_arg is actually the valid trig_num that is passed to the async (*inttrig) callback. This driver allows any value to be used and currently carries that value in the private data. Refactor the (*do_cmdtest) so that the trivial validation of the cmd->start_arg is clear. Refactor the (*inttrig) so that the cmd->start_arg is used directly to check the trig_num and remove the then unused 'ai_inttrig_start' member from the private data.

The async command 'arguments' should be trivially validated in Step 3 of the (*do_cmdtest) not Step 2b. Move the validataion in this driver to the proper place. This driver supports two cmd->start_src values, TRIG_NOW and TRIG_EXT. TRIG_NOW sources should always have an arg of 0. The arg for TRIG_EXT sources is driver specific. Properly validate the cmd->start_arg based on the cmd->start_src. Remove the noise when the arg is invalid and modify the cmd->start_arg so that a valid value is returned to the user.

The comedi_subdevices array is kzalloc()'d so the async command callbacks do not need to be set to NULL when the analog output subdevice is initialized. Also, remove the initialzation of the subdevice 'len_chanlist' since this value is only used by the async commands. The core will default it to 1.

Due to a driver limitation, the (*do_cmdtest) for the analog input subdevice overrides the cmd->chanlist_len to force single channel chanlists. But, the cmd->scan_end_arg was already validated before this happens. Instead of fixing the (*do_cmdtest) just set the subdevice len_chanlist to 1 to limit the chanlist size. Move the comment also.

When the async command 'scan_end_src' is TRIG_COUNT the 'scan_end_arg' is the cmd->chanlist_len. Fix a couple open-coded drivers. Add the check to the drivers that do not validate this command argument. The core validates that the cmd->chanlist_len is <= s->len_chanlist. During the post config after the attach the core also make sure that the s->len_chanlist is initialized. For clarity, initialize the s->len_chanlist in a couple drivers that are relying on the core to initialize it to '1'.

The comedi core checks if the (cmd->chanlist_len > s->len_chanlist) when the comedi_cmd is copied from user to kernel space by __comedi_get_user_cmd(). If so, the core returns -EINVAL and will not call the subdevice (*do_cmdtest) and (*do_cmd). Remove the unnecessary "max" checks in the comedi driver (*do_cmdtest) and helper functions.

devpriv->iobase is currently being used to hold the iobase address used to read/write the board's registers. The same address is stored in the comedi_device dev->iobase. We use that instead. The eventual goal is to decrease the driver's use of the struct addi_private, so that it may eventually use a much slimmer specialized private struct instead, as the other addi_apci_* drivers do.

In the current version, when using perf record, if something goes wrong in tools/perf/builtin-record.c:375 session = perf_session__new(file, false, NULL); The error message: "Not enough memory for reading per file header" is issued. This error message seems to be outdated and is not very helpful. This patch proposes to replace this error message by "Perf session creation failed" I believe this issue has been brought to lkml: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/458 although this patch only tackles a (small) part of the issue. Additionnaly, this patch improves error reporting in tools/perf/util/data.c open_file_write. Currently, if the call to open fails, the user is unaware of it. This patch logs the error, before returning the error code to the caller.

Every event in the perf-kvm has a 'stats' structure, which contains max/min/average/etc times of handling this event. The problem is that the 'perf-kvm stat report' command always shows that 'min time' is 0us for every event. Example: # perf kvm stat report Analyze events for all VCPUs: VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time [..] 0xB2 MSCH 12 0.07% 0.00% 0us 8us 7.31us ( +- 2.11% ) 0xB2 CHSC 12 0.07% 0.00% 0us 18us 9.39us ( +- 9.49% ) 0xB2 STPX 8 0.05% 0.00% 0us 2us 1.88us ( +- 7.18% ) 0xB2 STSI 7 0.04% 0.00% 0us 44us 16.49us ( +- 38.20% ) [..] This happens because the 'stats' structure is not initialized and stats->min equals to 0. Lets initialize the structure for every event after its allocation using init_stats() function. This initializes stats->min to -1 and makes 'Min time' statistics counting work: # perf kvm stat report Analyze events for all VCPUs: VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time [..] 0xB2 MSCH 12 0.07% 0.00% 6us 8us 7.31us ( +- 2.11% ) 0xB2 CHSC 12 0.07% 0.00% 7us 18us 9.39us ( +- 9.49% ) 0xB2 STPX 8 0.05% 0.00% 1us 2us 1.88us ( +- 7.18% ) 0xB2 STSI 7 0.04% 0.00% 1us 44us 16.49us ( +- 38.20% ) [..] Signed-off-by: Alexander Yarygin <yarygin@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1397053319-2130-3-git-send-email-borntraeger@de.ibm.com [ Fixing the perf examples changelog output ] Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>
