kgdb: add kgdb internal test suite

2008-04-17T18:05:42Z

This patch adds regression tests for testing the kgdb core and arch specific implementation. The kgdb test suite is designed to be built into the kernel and not as a module because it uses a number of low level kernel and kgdb primitives which should not be exported externally. The kgdb test suite is designed as a KGDB I/O module which simulates the communications that a debugger would have with kgdb. The tests are broken up in to a line by line and referenced here as a "get" which is kgdb requesting input and "put" which is kgdb sending a response. The kgdb suite can be invoked from the kernel command line arguments system or executed dynamically at run time. The test suite uses the variable "kgdbts" to obtain the information about which tests to run and to configure the verbosity level. The following are the various characters you can use with the kgdbts= line: When using the "kgdbts=" you only choose one of the following core test types: A = Run all the core tests silently V1 = Run all the core tests with minimal output V2 = Run all the core tests in debug mode You can also specify optional tests: N## = Go to sleep with interrupts of for ## seconds to test the HW NMI watchdog F## = Break at do_fork for ## iterations S## = Break at sys_open for ## iterations NOTE: that the do_fork and sys_open tests are mutually exclusive. To invoke the kgdb test suite from boot you use a kernel start argument as follows: kgdbts=V1 kgdbwait Or if you wanted to perform the NMI test for 6 seconds and do_fork test for 100 forks, you could use: kgdbts=V1N6F100 kgdbwait The test suite can also be invoked at run time with: echo kgdbts=V1N6F100 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts Or as another example: echo kgdbts=V2 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts When developing a new kgdb arch specific implementation or using these tests for the purpose of regression testing, several invocations are required. 1) Boot with the test suite enabled by using the kernel arguments "kgdbts=V1F100 kgdbwait" ## If kgdb arch specific implementation has NMI use "kgdbts=V1N6F100 2) After the system boot run the basic test. echo kgdbts=V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts 3) Run the concurrency tests. It is best to use n+1 while loops where n is the number of cpus you have in your system. The example below uses only two loops. ## This tests break points on sys_open while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & echo kgdbts=V1S10000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts fg # and hit control-c fg # and hit control-c ## This tests break points on do_fork while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done & echo kgdbts=V1F1000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts fg # and hit control-c Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

atmel_tc library

2008-03-04T12:41:23Z

Create based on and the at91sam9263 and at32ap7000 datasheets. Most AT91 and AT32 SOCs have one or two of these TC blocks, which include three 16-bit timers that can be interconnected in various ways. These TC blocks can be used for external interfacing (such as PWM and measurement), or used as somewhat quirky sixteen-bit timers. Changes relative to the original version: * Drop unneeded inclusion of * Support an arbitrary number of TC blocks * Return a struct with information about a TC block from atmel_tc_alloc() instead of using a combination of return values and "out" parameters. * ioremap() the I/O registers on allocation * Look up clocks and irqs for all channels * Add "name" parameter to atmel_tc_alloc() and use this when requesting the iomem resource. * Check if the platform provided the necessary resources at probe() time instead of when the TCB is allocated.

acer-wmi: Add driver for newer Acer laptops

2008-02-05T20:07:00Z

This is a driver for newer Acer (and Wistron) laptops. It adds wireless radio and bluetooth control, and on some laptops, exposes the mail LED and LCD backlight. v1: * Initial release v2: * Replace left over ACPI references with WMI * Add GUID based autoloading (depends on future work to WMI) * Add DMI based autoloading (backup solution until WMI sysfs/ class work is available) * Checkpatch fixes v3: * Add new EC quirks for Aspire 3100 & 5100, and Extensa 5220 v4: * Simplified internal handling of WMID and AMW0 devices * Add autodetection for bluetooth and maximum brightness on AMW0 V2 and WMID laptops. v5: * Add EC quirk for Medion MD 98000 * Add autodetection for AMW0, and mail LED on AMW0 and AMW0 V2. * Improve error handling * Fix AMW0 V2 bluetooth and wireless, by using both WMID and AMW0 methods to ensure that the correct value is always set. v6: * Fix 'use before initialisation' bug with quirks. v7 * Fix bug on AMW0 where acer-wmi would exit if a mail LED was not detected. * Add Acer Aspire 9110 mail LED support * Fix section mismatch warnings Signed-off-by: Carlos Corbacho CC: Matthew Garrett Signed-off-by: Len Brown
