iommu: provide early initialisation hook for IOMMU drivers

2014-12-01T16:47:46Z

IOMMU drivers must be initialised before any of their upstream devices, otherwise the relevant iommu_ops won't be configured for the bus in question. To solve this, a number of IOMMU drivers use initcalls to initialise the driver before anything has a chance to be probed. Whilst this solves the immediate problem, it leaves the job of probing the IOMMU completely separate from the iommu_ops to configure the IOMMU, which are called on a per-bus basis and require the driver to figure out exactly which instance of the IOMMU is being requested. In particular, the add_device callback simply passes a struct device to the driver, which then has to parse firmware tables or probe buses to identify the relevant IOMMU instance. This patch takes the first step in addressing this problem by adding an early initialisation pass for IOMMU drivers, giving them the ability to store some per-instance data in their iommu_ops structure and store that in their of_node. This can later be used when parsing OF masters to identify the IOMMU instance in question.

ARM: 8168/1: extend __init_end to a page align address

2014-10-02T20:28:16Z

This patch changes the __init_end address to a page align address, so that free_initmem() can free the whole .init section, because if the end address is not page aligned, it will round down to a page align address, then the tail unligned page will not be freed.

core: fix typo in percpu read_mostly section

2014-07-01T20:45:22Z

This fixes a typo that named the read_mostly section of percpu as readmostly. It works fine with SMP because the linker script specifies .data..percpu..readmostly. However, UP kernel builds don't have percpu sections defined and the non-percpu version of the section is called data..read_mostly, so .data..readmostly will float around and may break things unexpectedly. Looking at the original change that introduced data..percpu..readmostly (commit c957ef2c59e952803766ddc22e89981ab534606f), it looks like this was the original intention. Tested: Built UP kernel and confirmed the sections got merged. - Before the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004418 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 50 .data..readmostly 00000014 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00444000 2**3 - After the patch: $ objdump -h vmlinux.o | grep '\.data\.\.read.*mostly' 38 .data..read_mostly 00004438 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00431ac0 2**6 Signed-off-by: Zhengyu He Signed-off-by: Filipe Brandenburger Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

PCI: Add pci_fixup_suspend_late quirk pass

2014-06-19T21:08:41Z

Add pci_fixup_suspend_late as a new pci_fixup_pass. The pass is called from suspend_noirq and poweroff_noirq. Using the same pass for suspend and hibernate is consistent with resume_early which is called by resume_noirq and restore_noirq. The new quirk pass is required for Thunderbolt support on Apple hardware. Signed-off-by: Andreas Noever Acked-by: Bjorn Helgaas Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
