2013-02-28pps: convert to idr_alloc()Tejun Heo1-1/+1
Convert to the much saner new idr interface. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Rodolfo Giometti <giometti@enneenne.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-11-03pps: default echo functionJames Nuss1-7/+13
A default echo function has been provided so it is no longer an error when you specify PPS_ECHOASSERT or PPS_ECHOCLEAR without an explicit echo function. This allows some code re-use and also makes it easier to write client drivers since the default echo function does not normally need to change.

2011-01-13pps: move idr stuff to pps.cAlexander Gordeev1-53/+3
Since now idr is only used to manage char device id's and not used in kernel API anymore it should be moved to pps.c. This also makes it possible to release id only at actual device freeing so nobody can register a pps device with the same id while our device is not freed yet.

2011-01-13pps: convert printk/pr_* to dev_*Alexander Gordeev1-7/+8
Since we now have direct pointers to struct pps_device everywhere it's easy to use dev_* functions to print messages instead of plain printks. Where dev_* cannot be used printks are converted to pr_*.

2011-01-13pps: access pps device by direct pointerAlexander Gordeev1-96/+28
Using device index as a pointer needs some unnecessary work to be done every time the pointer is needed (in irq handler for example). Using a direct pointer is much more easy (and safe as well).

2011-01-13pps: fix race in PPS_FETCH handlerAlexander Gordeev1-2/+2
There was a race in PPS_FETCH ioctl handler when several processes want to obtain PPS data simultaneously using sleeping PPS_FETCH. They all sleep most of the time in the system call. With the old approach when the first process waiting on the pps queue is waken up it makes new system call right away and zeroes pps->go. So other processes continue to sleep. This is a clear race condition because of the global 'go' variable. With the new approach pps->last_ev holds some value increasing at each PPS event. PPS_FETCH ioctl handler saves current value to the local variable at the very beginning so it can safely check that there is a new event by just comparing both variables.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-11-12pps: events reporting fix upRodolfo Giometti1-5/+15
PPS events must be recorded according to PPS's mode settings. If a process asks for (i.e.) capture-assert events only, when the PPS client calls the pps_event() function to save the current PPS event, we should verify the event type and then discard unwanted ones. Also, without this patch userland processes waiting for a specific PPS event (assert or clear but not both) may be awakened at wrong time.

2009-06-19LinuxPPS: core supportRodolfo Giometti1-0/+329
This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named "LinuxPPS". PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices.
