2012-07-02rcu: Remove return value from rcu_assign_pointer()Paul E. McKenney
The return value from rcu_assign_pointer() is not used, and using it would be quite ugly, for example: q = rcu_assign_pointer(global_p, p); To prevent this sort of ugliness from spreading, this commit wraps rcu_assign_pointer() in a do-while loop.

2012-07-02key: Remove extraneous parentheses from rcu_assign_keypointer()Paul E. McKenney
This commit removes the extraneous parentheses from rcu_assign_keypointer() so that rcu_assign_pointer() can be wrapped in do-while. It also wraps rcu_assign_keypointer() in a do-while and parenthesizes its final argument, as suggested by David Howells. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-07-02rcu: Use new RCU_POINTER_INITIALIZER for gcc-style initializationsPaul E. McKenney

2012-07-02rcu: Add a gcc-style structure initializer for RCU pointersPaul E. McKenney
RCU_INIT_POINTER() returns a value that is never used, and which should be abolished due to terminal ugliness: q = RCU_INIT_POINTER(global_p, p); However, there are two uses that cannot be handled by a do-while formulation because they do gcc-style initialization: RCU_INIT_POINTER(.real_cred, &init_cred), RCU_INIT_POINTER(.cred, &init_cred), This usage is clever, but not necessarily the nicest approach. This commit therefore creates an RCU_POINTER_INITIALIZER() macro that is specifically designed for gcc-style initialization. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-07-02Revert "rcu: Move PREEMPT_RCU preemption to switch_to() invocation"Paul E. McKenney
This reverts commit 616c310e83b872024271c915c1b9ab505b9efad9. (Move PREEMPT_RCU preemption to switch_to() invocation). Testing by Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com> showed that this can result in deadlock due to invoking the scheduler when one of the runqueue locks is held.

Change the behavior of the newly introduced /sys/power/pm_print_times attribute so that its initial value depends on initcall_debug, but setting it to 0 will cause device suspend/resume times not to be printed, even if initcall_debug has been set.

2012-07-01phy: add the EEE support and the way to access to the MMD registers.Giuseppe CAVALLARO
This patch adds the support for the Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to the Physical Abstraction Layer. To support the EEE we have to access to the MMD registers 3.20 and 7.60/61. So two new functions have been added to read/write the MMD registers (clause 45). An Ethernet driver (I tested the stmmac) can invoke the phy_init_eee to properly check if the EEE is supported by the PHYs and it can also set the clock stop enable bit in the 3.0 register. The phy_get_eee_err can be used for reporting the number of time where the PHY failed to complete its normal wake sequence. In the end, this patch also adds the EEE ethtool support implementing: o phy_ethtool_set_eee o phy_ethtool_get_eee v1: initial patch v2: fixed some errors especially on naming convention v3: renamed again the mmd read/write functions thank to Ben's feedback v4: moved file to phy.c and added the ethtool support. v5: fixed phy_adv_to_eee, phy_eee_to_supported, phy_eee_to_adv return values according to ethtool API (thanks to Ben's feedback). Renamed some macros to avoid too long names. v6: fixed kernel-doc comments to be properly parsed. Fixed the phy_init_eee function: we need to check which link mode was autonegotiated and then the corresponding bits in 7.60 and 7.61 registers. v7: reviewed the way to get the negotiated settings. v8: fixed a problem in the phy_init_eee return value erroneously added when included the phy_read_status call. v9: do not remove the MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV_100TX and MDIO_AN_EEE_ADV_1000T and fixed the eee_{cap,lp,adv} declaration as "int" instead of u16.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still left in the original interface. That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows easy extensibility of this interface in the future. This patch also adapts all callers to use this new interface.

2012-06-29[media] i2c: Export an unlocked flavor of i2c_transferJean Delvare
Some drivers (in particular for TV cards) need exclusive access to their I2C buses for specific operations. Export an unlocked flavor of i2c_transfer to give them full control. The unlocked flavor has the following limitations: * Obviously, caller must hold the i2c adapter lock. * No debug messages are logged. We don't want to log messages while holding a rt_mutex. * No check is done on the existence of adap->algo->master_xfer. It is thus the caller's responsibility to ensure that the function is OK to call. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

2012-06-28tracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from trace_iteratorSteven Rostedt
Replace the NR_CPUS array of buffer_iter from the trace_iterator with an allocated array. This will just create an array of possible CPUS instead of the max number specified. The use of NR_CPUS in that array caused allocation failures for machines that were tight on memory. This did not cause any failures to the system itself (no crashes), but caused unnecessary failures for reading the trace files. Added a helper function called 'trace_buffer_iter()' that returns the buffer_iter item or NULL if it is not defined or the array was not allocated. Some routines do not require the array (tracing_open_pipe() for one). Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
