2008-07-15mmc_spi: add support for card-detection pollingAnton Vorontsov
This patch adds new platform data variable "caps", so platforms could pass theirs capabilities into MMC core (for example, platforms without interrupt on the CD line will most probably want to pass MMC_CAP_NEEDS_POLL). New platform get_cd() callback provided to optimize polling. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman <drzeus@drzeus.cx>
2008-07-15mmc: add support for card-detection pollingAnton Vorontsov
Some hosts (and boards that use mmc_spi) do not use interrupts on the CD line, so they can't trigger mmc_detect_change. We want to poll the card and see if there was a change. 1 second poll interval seems resonable. This patch also implements .get_cd() host operation, that could be used by the hosts that are able to report card-detect status without need to talk MMC.

2008-07-14Security: split proc ptrace checking into read vs. attachStephen Smalley
Enable security modules to distinguish reading of process state via proc from full ptrace access by renaming ptrace_may_attach to ptrace_may_access and adding a mode argument indicating whether only read access or full attach access is requested. This allows security modules to permit access to reading process state without granting full ptrace access. The base DAC/capability checking remains unchanged. Read access to /proc/pid/mem continues to apply a full ptrace attach check since check_mem_permission() already requires the current task to already be ptracing the target. The other ptrace checks within proc for elements like environ, maps, and fds are changed to pass the read mode instead of attach. In the SELinux case, we model such reading of process state as a reading of a proc file labeled with the target process' label. This enables SELinux policy to permit such reading of process state without permitting control or manipulation of the target process, as there are a number of cases where programs probe for such information via proc but do not need to be able to control the target (e.g. procps, lsof, PolicyKit, ConsoleKit). At present we have to choose between allowing full ptrace in policy (more permissive than required/desired) or breaking functionality (or in some cases just silencing the denials via dontaudit rules but this can hide genuine attacks). This version of the patch incorporates comments from Casey Schaufler (change/replace existing ptrace_may_attach interface, pass access mode), and Chris Wright (provide greater consistency in the checking). Note that like their predecessors __ptrace_may_attach and ptrace_may_attach, the __ptrace_may_access and ptrace_may_access interfaces use different return value conventions from each other (0 or -errno vs. 1 or 0). I retained this difference to avoid any changes to the caller logic but made the difference clearer by changing the latter interface to return a bool rather than an int and by adding a comment about it to ptrace.h for any future callers.

2008-07-11sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZSteven Rostedt
Working with ftrace I would get large jumps of 11 millisecs or more with the clock tracer. This killed the latencing timings of ftrace and also caused the irqoff self tests to fail. What was happening is with NO_HZ the idle would stop the jiffy counter and before the jiffy counter was updated the sched_clock would have a bad delta jiffies to compare with the gtod with the maximum. The jiffies would stop and the last sched_tick would record the last gtod. On wakeup, the sched clock update would compare the gtod + delta jiffies (which would be zero) and compare it to the TSC. The TSC would have correctly (with a stable TSC) moved forward several jiffies. But because the jiffies has not been updated yet the clock would be prevented from moving forward because it would appear that the TSC jumped too far ahead. The clock would then virtually stop, until the jiffies are updated. Then the next sched clock update would see that the clock was very much behind since the delta jiffies is now correct. This would then jump the clock forward by several jiffies. This caused ftrace to report several milliseconds of interrupts off latency at every resume from NO_HZ idle. This patch adds hooks into the nohz code to disable the checking of the maximum clock update when nohz is in effect. It resumes the max check when nohz has updated the jiffies again.

2008-07-10ihex.h: binary representation of ihex recordsDavid Woodhouse
Some devices need their firmware as a set of {address, len, data...} records in some specific order rather than a simple blob. The normal way of doing this kind of thing is 'ihex', which is a text format and not entirely suitable for use in the kernel. This provides a binary representation which is very similar, but much more compact -- and a helper routine to skip to the next record, because the alignment constraints mean that everybody will screw it up for themselves otherwise. Also a helper function which can verify that a 'struct firmware' contains a valid set of ihex records, and that following them won't run off the end of the loaded data.

2008-07-10firmware: allow firmware files to be built into kernel imageDavid Woodhouse
Some drivers have their own hacks to bypass the kernel's firmware loader and build their firmware into the kernel; this renders those unnecessary. Other drivers don't use the firmware loader at all, because they always want the firmware to be available. This allows them to start using the firmware loader. A third set of drivers already use the firmware loader, but can't be used without help from userspace, which sometimes requires an initrd. This allows them to work in a static kernel.

2008-07-08ide: add __ide_default_irq() inline helperBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
Add __ide_default_irq() inline helper and use it instead of ide_default_irq() in ide-probe.c and ns87415.c (all host drivers except IDE PCI ones always setup hwif->irq so it is enough to check only for I/O bases 0x1f0 and 0x170). This fixes post-2.6.25 regression since ide_default_irq() define could shadow ide_default_irq() inline. Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
