  Firmware: add iSCSI iBFT Support
  PM: Remove legacy PM (fix)
  Kobject: Replace list_for_each() with list_for_each_entry().
  SYSFS: Explicitly include required header file slab.h.

Fixed trivial conflict in include/linux/memory.h due to semaphore header
file change (made irrelevant by the change to mutex).

PM: Remove destroy_suspended_device()

2008-04-20T02:10:28+00:00

After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device
semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from
concurrent operations involving device objects.  That proved to be
too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but
before it happened, we had introduced the functions
device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow
drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some
drivers to use them.  Now that these functions are no longer necessary,
it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the
normal device unregistration instead.

Driver core: make device_is_registered() work for class devices

2008-04-20T02:10:26+00:00

device_is_registered() can use the kobject value for this, so it will
now work with devices that are associated with only a class, not a bus
and a driver.

PM: Convert wakeup flag accessors to inline functions

2008-04-20T02:10:26+00:00

This patch (as1058) improves the wakeup macros in include/linux/pm.h.
All but the trivial ones are converted to inline routines, which
requires moving them to a separate header file since they depend on
the definition of struct device.

driver core: Convert debug functions declared inline attribute((format (printf,x,y) to statement expression macros

2008-04-20T02:10:19+00:00

When DEBUG is not defined, pr_debug and dev_dbg and some
other local debugging functions are specified as:

"inline __attribute__((format (printf, x, y)))"

This is done to validate printk arguments when not debugging.

Converting these functions to macros or statement expressions
"do { if (0) printk(fmt, ##arg); } while (0)"
or
"({ if (0) printk(fmt, ##arg); 0; })
makes at least gcc 4.2.2 produce smaller objects.

This has the additional benefit of allowing the optimizer to
avoid calling functions like print_mac that might have been
arguments to the printk.

defconfig x86 current:

$ size vmlinux
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4716770  474560  618496 5809826  58a6a2 vmlinux

all converted: (More patches follow)

$ size vmlinux
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4716642  474560  618496 5809698  58a622 vmlinux

Even kernel/sched.o, which doesn't even use these
functions, becomes smaller.

It appears that merely having an indirect include
of  can cause bigger objects.

$ size sched.inline.o sched.if0.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  31385    2854     328   34567    8707 sched.inline.o
  31366    2854     328   34548    86f4 sched.if0.o

The current preprocessed only kernel/sched.i file contains:

# 612 "include/linux/device.h"
static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int __attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3)))
dev_dbg(struct device *dev, const char *fmt, ...)
{
 return 0;
}
# 628 "include/linux/device.h"
static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) int __attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3)))
dev_vdbg(struct device *dev, const char *fmt, ...)
{
 return 0;
}

Removing these unused inlines from sched.i shrinks sched.o

iommu sg merging: add device_dma_parameters structure

2008-02-05T17:44:10+00:00

IOMMUs merges scatter/gather segments without considering a low level
driver's restrictions. The problem is that IOMMUs can't access to the
limitations because they are in request_queue.

This patchset introduces a new structure, device_dma_parameters,
including dma information. A pointer to device_dma_parameters is added
to struct device. The bus specific structures (like pci_dev) includes
device_dma_parameters. Low level drivers can use dma_set_max_seg_size
to tell IOMMUs about the restrictions.

We can move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct
device_dma_parameters later (needs some cleanups before that).

This includes patches for all the IOMMUs that could merge sg (x86_64,
ppc, IA64, alpha, sparc64, and parisc) though only the ppc patch was
tested. The patches for other IOMMUs are only compile tested.

This patch:

Add a new structure, device_dma_parameters, including dma information.  A
pointer to device_dma_parameters is added to struct device.

- there are only max_segment_size and segment_boundary_mask there but we'll
  move more dma stuff in struct device (like dma_mask) to struct
  device_dma_parameters later.  segment_boundary_mask is not supported yet.

- new accessors for the dma parameters are added.  So we can easily change
  where to place struct device_dma_parameters in the future.

- dma_get_max_seg_size returns 64K if dma_parms in struct device isn't set
  up properly.  64K is the default max_segment_size in the block layer.

PM: Export device_pm_schedule_removal

2008-02-02T23:14:48+00:00

Move the declaration of device_pm_schedule_removal() to device.h
and make it exported, as it will be used directly by some drivers
for unregistering device objects during suspend/resume cycles in a
safe way.
