i2c: Add support for device alias names

Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich.

This patch allows new-style i2c chip drivers to have alias names using
the official kernel aliasing system and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). At this
point, the old i2c driver binding scheme (driver_name/type) is still
supported.

For MSI, default_shutdown will call mask_bit for msi device.  All mask bits
will left disabled after free_irq.  Then in the kexec case, the next kernel
can only use msi_enable bit, so all device's MSI can not be used.

So lets to restore the mask bit to its pci reset defined value (enabled) when
we disable the kernels use of msi to be a little friendlier to kexec'd kernels.

Extend msi_set_mask_bit to msi_set_mask_bits to take mask, so we can fully
restore that to 0x00 instead of 0xfe.

16 years agobitops: remove "optimizations"
Thomas Gleixner [Tue, 29 Apr 2008 10:01:02 +0000 (12:01 +0200)]
bitops: remove "optimizations"

The mapsize optimizations which were moved from x86 to the generic
code in commit 64970b68d2b3ed32b964b0b30b1b98518fde388e increased the
binary size on non x86 architectures.

Looking into the real effects of the "optimizations" it turned out
that they are not used in find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit().

The ones in find_first_bit() and find_first_zero_bit() are used in a
couple of places but none of them is a real hot path.

Remove the "optimizations" all together and call the library functions
unconditionally.

Boot-tested on x86 and compile tested on every cross compiler I have.

kernel: add common infrastructure for unaligned access

Create a linux/unaligned directory similar in spirit to the linux/byteorder
folder to hold generic implementations collected from various arches.

Currently there are five implementations:
1) packed_struct.h: C-struct based, from asm-generic/unaligned.h
2) le_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm
3) be_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm
4) memmove.h: taken from multiple implementations in tree
5) access_ok.h: taken from x86 and others, unaligned access is ok.

All of the new implementations checks for sizes not equal to 1,2,4,8
and will fail to link.

API additions:

get_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(p) which is meant to replace
code of the form:
le16_to_cpu(get_unaligned((__le16 *)p));

put_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(val, pointer) which is meant to
replace code of the form:
put_unaligned(cpu_to_le16(val), (__le16 *)p);

The headers that arches should include from their asm/unaligned.h:

access_ok.h : Wrappers of the byteswapping functions in asm/byteorder

Choose a particular implementation for little-endian access:
le_byteshift.h
le_memmove.h (arch must be LE)
le_struct.h (arch must be LE)

Choose a particular implementation for big-endian access:
be_byteshift.h
be_memmove.h (arch must be BE)
be_struct.h (arch must be BE)

After including as needed from the above, include unaligned/generic.h and
define your arch's get/put_unaligned as (for LE):

16 years agorandom: make backtracking attacks harder
Matt Mackall [Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:03:00 +0000 (01:03 -0700)]
random: make backtracking attacks harder

At each extraction, we change (poolbits / 16) + 32 bits in the pool,
or 96 bits in the case of the secondary pools. Thus, a brute-force
backtracking attack on the pool state is less difficult than breaking
the hash. In certain cases, this difficulty may be is reduced to 2^64
iterations.

Instead, hash the entire pool in one go, then feedback the whole hash
(160 bits) in one go. This will make backtracking at least as hard as
inverting the hash.

table of the device, but this is done only on an open of the device.
So we have to do a "touch /dev/nbdX" or something like that.
It can't be done from the nbd-client or nbd driver because at this
level we can't ask to read the partition table and to serve the request
at the same time (-> deadlock)

NBD: allow nbd to be used locally

This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally (nbd-client to
nbd-server over 127.0.0.1).

It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools
documentation.  So, if nbd-client hangs waiting for pages, the kblockd thread
can continue its work and free pages.

I have tested the patch to verify that it avoids the hang that always occurs
when writing to a localhost nbd connection.  I have also tested to verify that
no performance degradation results from the additional thread and queue.

Patch originally from Laurent Vivier.
