2009-06-19char: moxa, prevent opening unavailable portsDirk Eibach
In moxa.c there are 32 minor numbers reserved for each device. The number of ports actually available per device is stored in moxa_board_conf->numPorts. This number is not considered in moxa_open(). Opening a port that is not available results in a kernel oops. This patch adds a test to moxa_open() that prevents opening unavailable ports.

2009-06-19ptrace: wait_task_zombie: do not account traced sub-threadsOleg Nesterov
The bug is ancient. If we trace the sub-thread of our natural child and this sub-thread exits, we update parent->signal->cxxx fields. But we should not do this until the whole thread-group exits, otherwise we account this thread (and all other live threads) twice. Add the task_detached() check. No need to check thread_group_empty(), wait_consider_task()->delay_group_leader() already did this.

2009-06-19spi_mpc83xx: quieten down the "Requested speed is too low" messageAnton Vorontsov
When a platform is running at high frequencies it's not always possible to scale-down a frequency to a requested value, and using mmc_spi driver this leads to the following printk flood during card polling: ... mmc_spi spi32766.0: Requested speed is too low: 400000 Hz. Will use 520828 Hz instead. mmc_spi spi32766.0: Requested speed is too low: 400000 Hz. Will use 520828 Hz instead. ... Fix this by using WARN_ONCE(), it's better than the flood, and also better than turning dev_err() into dev_dbg(), since we actually want to warn that some things may not work correctly.

2009-06-18LinuxPPS: core supportRodolfo Giometti
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.

2009-06-18gru: delete user request for fetching chiplet statusJack Steiner
Delete the user request for fetching the status of a GRU chiplet. This request has been made obsolete by other changes. Note: this is not a change to a user API - there are no compatibility issues with this change.

2009-06-18gru: collect per-context user statisticsJack Steiner
Collect GRU statistics for each user GRU context. Statistics are kept for TLB misses & content resource contention. Add user request for retrieving the statistics.

2009-06-18gru: fix automatic retry of gru instruction failuresJack Steiner
Fix bug in automatic retry of GRU instruction failures. CBR substatus (message queue failure) was being checked incorrectly. Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-06-18gru: add user request to explicitly unload a gru contextJack Steiner
Add user function to explicitly unload GRU kernel contexts from the GRU. Only contexts that are not in-use will be unloaded. This function is primarily for testing. It is not expected that this will be used in normal production systems.

2009-06-18gru: fix cache coherency issues with instruction retryJack Steiner
Fix two problems related to GRU instruction failures. Cache coherency is not maintained for CBEs except when loading or unloading contexts. When reading a CBE to extract error information, the CBE must first be flushed from the cache. The function that reads kerrnel CBEs was reading the wrong CBE.

2009-06-18gru: update to rev 0.9 of gru specJack Steiner
Update GRU driver to the latest version of the GRU spec. This consists of minor updates: - changes & additions to error status bits - new restriction on handling of TLB misses while in FMM mode - new field (not used by software) in TFH Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-06-18gru: update gru kernel self testsJack Steiner
Change the kernel self tests that can be optionally executed on GRU initialization. This is primarily for testing. Eliminate the BUG statements on failure and return bad status. Add ioctl interface to execute the tests on demand.

2009-06-18gru: support for asynchronous gru instructionsJack Steiner
Add support for asynchronous GRU instructions. Currently, asynchronous instructions are supported only for GRU instructions issued by the kernel.

2009-06-18gru: support instruction completion interruptsJack Steiner
Add support for interrupts generated by GRU instruction completion. Previously, the only interrupts were for TLB misses. The hardware also supports interrupts on instruction completion. This will be supported for instructions issued by the kernel.

2009-06-18gru: check context state on reloadJack Steiner
Check whether the gru state being loaded into a gru is from a new context or a previously unloaded context. If new, simply zero out the hardware context; if unloaded and valid, reload the old state. This change is primarily for reloading kernel contexts where the previous is not required to be saved.
