2008-01-25[AVR32] Provide more CPU information in /proc/cpuinfo and dmesgHaavard Skinnemoen
Add the following fields to /proc/cpuinfo: * chip type and revision (from the JTAG chip id) * cpu MHz (from clk_get_rate()) * features (from the CONFIG0 register) Also rename "cpu family" to "cpu arch" and "cpu type" to "cpu core" to remove some ambiguity. Show chip type and revision at bootup, and clarify that the other kinds of IDs that we're already printing are for the cpu core and architecture. Rename "AP7000" to "AP7" since that's the name of the core. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>

2008-01-25Disable VGA text console for AVR32 architectureHans-Christian Egtvedt
This patch disables the VGA text console for AVR32 architecture since it does not provide the vga.h include file. AVR32 users should use framebuffer console instead if they need a console on an attached display.

2008-01-25[AVR32] Enable debugging only when neededHaavard Skinnemoen
Keep track of processes being debugged (including the kernel itself) and turn the OCD system on and off as appropriate. Since enabling debugging turns off some optimizations in the CPU core, this fixes the issue that enabling KProbes support or simply running a program under gdbserver will reduce system performance significantly until the next reboot. The CPU performance will still be reduced for all processes while a process is being debugged, but this is a lot better than reducing the performance forever.

2008-01-25ptrace: Call arch_ptrace_attach() when request=PTRACE_TRACEMEHaavard Skinnemoen
arch_ptrace_attach() is a hook that allows the architecture to do book-keeping after a ptrace attach. This patch adds a call to this hook when handling a PTRACE_TRACEME request as well. Currently only one architecture, m32r, implements this hook. When called, it initializes a number of debug trap slots in the ptraced task's thread struct, and it looks to me like this is the right thing to do after a PTRACE_TRACEME request as well, not only after PTRACE_ATTACH. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I want to use this hook on AVR32 to turn the debugging hardware on when a process is actually being debugged and keep it off otherwise. To be able to do this, I need to intercept PTRACE_TRACEME and PTRACE_ATTACH, as well as PTRACE_DETACH and thread exit. The latter two can be handled by existing hooks.

2008-01-25[AVR32] Remove redundant try_to_freeze() call from do_signal()Haavard Skinnemoen

2008-01-25[AVR32] Drop GFP_COMP for DMA memory allocationsHaavard Skinnemoen

2008-01-24Modules: remove unneeded release functionGreg Kroah-Hartman
Now that kobjects properly clean up their name structures, no matter if they have a release function or not, we can drop this empty module kobject release function too (it was needed prior to this because of the way we handled static kobject names, we based the fact that if a release function was present, then we could safely free the name string, now we are more smart about things and only free names we have previously set.)

2008-01-24Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unrefKay Sievers
We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper cleanup when the last reference is dropped. If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and the allocated resources are released. This allows us to clean up some driver core usage as well as allowing us to do other such changes to the rest of the kernel.

2008-01-24Kobject: drop child->parent ref at unregistrationAlan Stern
This patch (as1015) reverts changes that were made to the driver core about four years ago. The intent back then was to avoid certain kinds of invalid memory accesses by leaving kernel objects allocated as long as any of their children were still allocated. The original and correct approach was to wait only as long as any children were still _registered_; that's what this patch reinstates. This fixes a problem in the SCSI core made visible by the class_device to regular device conversion: A reference loop (scsi_device holds reference to request_queue, which is the child of a gendisk, which is the child of the scsi_device) prevents the data structures from being released, even though they are deregistered okay. It's possible that this change will cause a few bugs to surface, things that have been hidden for several years. They can be fixed easily enough by having the child device take an explicit reference to the parent whenever needed.
