2010-09-23sh: change to new flag variablematt mooney4-4/+4
Replace EXTRA_CFLAGS with ccflags-y. Signed-off-by: matt mooney <mfm@muteddisk.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-20sh: pci: Use a generic raw spinlock for PCI config access locking.Paul Mundt4-12/+17
This copies the pci_config_lock idea from x86 over, allowing us to kill off a couple of existing private locks. At the same time, these need to be converted to raw spinlocks for -rt kernels, so we make that change at the same time. This should make it easier for future parts to get the locking right instead of inevitable ending up with lock type mismatches. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-20sh: pci: clock framework support for SH7786 PCIe.Paul Mundt1-21/+86
This gets each port handling its MSTP bit, as well as moving the PHY clock management in to the clock framework. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-20sh: pci: Use I/O accessors consistently in SH7786 PCIe init code.Paul Mundt2-17/+25
Some of the existing code is flipping between __raw_xxx() and pci_{read,write}_reg(). As the latter are just wrappers for the former, flip over to using them consistently. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-20sh: pci: Support ports with disabled links on SH7786 PCIe.Paul Mundt1-5/+12
Presently we error out if a link is disabled and simply drop the port registration outright. This follows the PPC changes and simply reports on the link state on boot, leaving the port registered, in order to more easily deal with hotplug on future parts. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-20sh: pci: Discard initial PCICONF4/5 settings for SH7786 PCIe.Paul Mundt1-3/+0
These settings are properly propagated by the hardware already, so there's no need to bother with them manually. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-20sh: pci: Support root complex config accesses on SH7786 PCIe.Paul Mundt2-9/+55
The SH7786 PCIe is presently unable to enumerate itself in root complex mode, and has no visibility through either type 0 or type 1 accesses, despite having a mostly sensible extended config space for each port. Attempts to generate type 0 or type 1 config cycles result in completer aborts, so we're ultimately forced to use SuperHyway transactions instead. As each port has a single port <-> device mapping that resolves for any PCI_SLOT definition, we simply hijack devfn 0 for the SuperHyway transaction and bump up the devfn limit. With enumeration of the root complex now possible, we also need to insert an early fixup to hide the BARs from the kernel. With all of that done, it's now possible to use the pcieport services with all of the PCIe ports, which is the first step to power management support. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-20sh: pci: Move Renesas PCI IDs to a better place.Paul Mundt2-6/+7
Previously these IDs were only used by one driver, so there was not much need for having them generically defined. Now that this will no longer hold true, move them over. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-19sh: pci: Give SH7786 PHY some time to settle.Paul Mundt1-0/+3
The spec suggests waiting up to 500ms for the PHY to settle before testing link state, but practice shows that 100ms is sufficient (this is the delay value we also use on the other SH-4A PCI controllers, too). This makes device detection much more reliable, although in the future it should be a bit faster to simply serialize with a TLP IRQ. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-19sh: pci: Toggle configuration accesses on SH7786.Paul Mundt1-0/+3
After configuration accesses have been completed deassert the configuration access enable cleanly. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2010-09-16usb: Fix up r8a66597-hcd section mismatches.Paul Mundt1-2/+2
The _remove() routine is flagged __init_or_module, despite only being used in a __devexit context. As the rest of the driver is already balanced out with __devinit, switch to __devexit and __devexit_p() wrapping. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-16mfd: Fix up section mismatches in SH SDHI.Paul Mundt1-1/+1
The current probe/remove definitions are split between __init and __devexit, make them consistent by switching to __devinit. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-16sh: kill big kernel lockArnd Bergmann1-6/+3
The only BKL user in arch/sh protects a single bit, so we can trivially replace it with test_and_set_bit. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: linux-sh@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

According to Morimoto-san, this is no longer needed. Revert it. This reverts commit e0009b0a44f28227571d8cddebc5ccdae86027a6. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-14sh: Provide a non-multiplexed sys_recvmmsg path.Paul Mundt2-20/+20
Now that the rest of the socket calls are provided through their own paths, do the same for sys_recvmmsg. It's unlikely we'll ever be able to kill off the socketcall path, but this at least permits userspace to gradually begin migrating. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-14sh: Add syscall entries for non multiplexed socket callsCarmelo AMOROSO2-1/+38
Linux kernel already has socket syscalls that can be invoked without the multiplexing sys_socketcall wrapper. C library wrappers are ready to use them directly. It needs just to define the missing syscall numbers and provide the related entries into the syscalls table, like sh64 aleady does.

2010-09-14sh: Set CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=nMatt Fleming38-38/+0
As the help for the config option suggests, this option really shouldn't be set by default for any recent distribution as it changes the layout of sysfs. I spotted this while running debian when udev got very confused by the sysfs layout and failed to create some device nodes.

2010-09-07sh: Hook up 3rd memory window for all SH7786 PCIe channels.Paul Mundt1-0/+3
Now that the resource assignment issues are resolved, we can finally wire up the small third memory window -- in the future we may reclaim this for MSI. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-07sh: Properly wire up channel 2's I/O window on SH7786 PCIe.Paul Mundt1-0/+1
An IORESOURCE_IO was missing here, which meant that we weren't properly establishing the I/O window for this particular slot. With this corrected, cards with I/O BARs have them actually assigned and accessible. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-07sh: Ignore 32-bit windows in 29-bit mode for SH7786 PCIe.Paul Mundt1-8/+16
Certain memory windows are only available for 32-bit space, so skip over these in 29-bit mode. This will severely restrict the amount of memory that can be mapped, but since a boot loader bug makes booting in 29-bit mode close to impossible anyways, everything is ok. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-09-07sh: Establish a SuperHyway<->PCIe window mapping on SH7786 PCIe.Paul Mundt1-1/+1
This bumps up the low address to match the physical memory windows for SHway<->PCIe transfers. The previous implementation was banking on a 1:1 virt<->phys SHway mapping, which doesn't apply here. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2010-08-20sh: Relax devfn constraints for SH7786 PCIe.Paul Mundt1-9/+4
SH7786 PCIe has 1 slot per port, but no specific restriction on function. Relax the devfn restriction and look to the slot number instead when configured as a root complex. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2010-08-20sh: reinstate clock framework rate rounding.Paul Mundt1-1/+15
This was killed off by a simplification patch previously that failed to take the cpufreq use case in to account, so reinstate the old bounding logic. The lowest rate bounding on the other hand was broken in that it never actually got assigned a rate and the best fit rate was instead just getting lucky based on the ordering of the rate table, fix this up so the code actually does what it was intended to do originally.

2010-08-18ALSA: emu10k1 - delay the PCM interrupts (add pcm_irq_delay parameter)Jaroslav Kysela5-5/+38
With some hardware combinations, the PCM interrupts are acknowledged before the period boundary from the emu10k1 chip. The midlevel PCM code gets confused and the playback stream is interrupted. It seems that the interrupt processing shift by 2 samples is enough to fix this issue. This default value does not harm other, non-affected hardware.

2010-08-18fs: brlock vfsmount_lockNick Piggin5-77/+134
fs: brlock vfsmount_lock Use a brlock for the vfsmount lock. It must be taken for write whenever modifying the mount hash or associated fields, and may be taken for read when performing mount hash lookups. A new lock is added for the mnt-id allocator, so it doesn't need to take the heavy vfsmount write-lock. The number of atomics should remain the same for fastpath rlock cases, though code would be slightly slower due to per-cpu access. Scalability is not not be much improved in common cases yet, due to other locks (ie. dcache_lock) getting in the way. However path lookups crossing mountpoints should be one case where scalability is improved (currently requiring the global lock). The slowpath is slower due to use of brlock. On a 64 core, 64 socket, 32 node Altix system (high latency to remote nodes), a simple umount microbenchmark (mount --bind mnt mnt2 ; umount mnt2 loop 1000 times), before this patch it took 6.8s, afterwards took 7.1s, about 5% slower.
