[PATCH v14 0/4] Watchdog: introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver

by fu.wei＠linaro.org

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei(a)linaro.org> This patchset: (1)Introduce Documentation/devicetree/bindings/watchdog/sbsa-gwdt.txt for FDT info of SBSA Generic Watchdog, and give two examples of adding SBSA Generic Watchdog device node into the dts files: foundation-v8.dts and amd-seattle-soc.dtsi. (2)Introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver: a.Use linux kernel watchdog framework; b.Work with FDT on ARM64; c.Support getting timeout from parameter and FDT at the driver init stage. d.The driver works in two modes: (1) single stage timeout (ignore WS0 interrupt) (2) two stages timeout (register WS0 interrupt, do panic in routine) e.User can config working mode by module parameter "action". This patchset has been tested with watchdog daemon (ACPI/FDT, module/build-in) on the following platforms: (1)ARM Foundation v8 model (2)AMD Seattle platform This patchset has been tested with kdump successfully. Changelog: v14:Fix a bug of registering interrupt routine: do a ping before registering interrupt routine, in case where is a pending interrupt. Reorder the initialization code to postpone registering interrupt routine. Improve some code style: (1)add some macro of string (2)use watchdog_get_drvdata instead of to_sbsa_gwdt, delete to_sbsa_gwdt. v13:https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/16/713 Fix a dev_warn message typo"signle"-->"single" Add MODULE_ALIAS Add more *ed-by in commit message. v12:https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/16/154 Fix a dev_warn message typo"fall"--"falling" Remove unnecessary "status" in dts Add more *ed-by in commit message. v11:https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/9/577 Merge patch 4 and 5.

[PATCH V4 0/5] acpi: cppc optimization patches

by Prashanth Prakash

Changes in V4: [1] Added another patch which decides if or when to send a request to the platform based on the Minimum Request Turnaround Time(MRTT) and Maximum Periodic Access Rate(MPAR) to make sure the implementation is compliant to ACPI spec [2] Fixed the condition for pr_debug message in cppc_chan_tx_done() Changes in V3: Addressed the review comments from Alexey, Ashwin and Timur Changes in V2: Fixed compilation error on i386 This series introduces changes to reduce the time required to send a frequency transition requests to the platform while using the cppc-cpufreq driver. With these changes we see significant improvement in the average time to send freq. transition request to the platform. Profiling on an ARM platform showed that the average transaction time per request reduced from 200us to under 20us.

[PATCH v2] ARM64: ACPI: Update documentation for latest specification version

by Al Stone

From: Al Stone <ahs3(a)redhat.com> The ACPI 6.1 specification was recently released at the end of January 2016, but the arm64 kernel documentation for the use of ACPI was written for the 5.1 version of the spec. There were significant additions to the spec that had not yet been mentioned -- for example, the 6.0 mechanisms added to make it easier to define processors and low power idle states, as well as the 6.1 addition allowing regular interrupts (not just from GPIO) be used to signal ACPI general purpose events. This patch reflects going back through and examining the specs in detail and updating content appropriately. Whilst there, a few odds and ends of typos were caught as well. This brings the documentation up to date with ACPI 6.1 for arm64. Changes for v2: -- Clean up white space (Harb Abdulhahmid) -- Clarification on _CCA usage (Harb Abdulhamid) -- IORT moved to required from recommended (Hanjun Guo) -- Clarify IORT description (Hanjun Guo) Signed-off-by: Al Stone <al.stone(a)linaro.org> --- Documentation/arm64/acpi_object_usage.txt | 445 ++++++++++++++++++++++-------- Documentation/arm64/arm-acpi.txt | 28 +- 2 files changed, 356 insertions(+), 117 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/arm64/acpi_object_usage.txt b/Documentation/arm64/acpi_object_usage.txt index a6e1a18..29bc1a1 100644 --- a/Documentation/arm64/acpi_object_usage.txt +++ b/Documentation/arm64/acpi_object_usage.txt @@ -11,15 +11,16 @@ outside of the UEFI Forum (see Section 5.2.6 of the specification).

[PATCH V3 0/4] acpi: cppc optimization patches

by Prashanth Prakash

Changes in V3: Addressed the review comments from Alexey, Ashwin and Timur Changes in V2: Fixed compilation error on i386 This series introduces changes to reduce the time required to send a frequency transition requests to the platform while using the cppc-cpufreq driver. With these changes we see significant improvement in the average time to send freq. transition request to the platform. Profiling on an ARM platform showed that the average transaction time per request reduced from 200us to under 20us.

[PATCH v12 0/4] Watchdog: introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver

by fu.wei＠linaro.org

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei(a)linaro.org> This patchset: (1)Introduce Documentation/devicetree/bindings/watchdog/sbsa-gwdt.txt for FDT info of SBSA Generic Watchdog, and give two examples of adding SBSA Generic Watchdog device node into the dts files: foundation-v8.dts and amd-seattle-soc.dtsi. (2)Introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver: a.Use linux kernel watchdog framework; b.Work with FDT on ARM64; c.Support getting timeout from parameter and FDT at the driver init stage. d.The driver works in two modes: (1) single stage timeout (ignore WS0 interrupt) (2) two stages timeout (register WS0 interrupt, do panic in routine) e.User can config working mode by module parameter "action". This patchset has been tested with watchdog daemon (ACPI/FDT, module/build-in) on the following platforms: (1)ARM Foundation v8 model (2)AMD Seattle platform This patchset has been tested with kdump successfully. Changelog: v12:Fix a dev_warn message typo Remove unnecessary "status" in dts Add more *ed-by in commit message. v11:https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/9/577 Merge patch 4 and 5. Improve some comments. The driver works in two modes, it's configured by "action"(instead of panic_enabled). Improve the initialization of the timeout limits. Feeding dog by writing "0" to WRR. v10:https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/3/817 Delete pretimeout support. Separate the driver to two parts: (1) single stage timeout driver(ignore WS0 interrupt); (2) register WS0 interrupt for the half timeout panic. timeout == (enable --> WS1). v9: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/9/57 Rebase to latest kernel version(4.3). Update the Documentation of sbsa-gwdt device node info of FDT: (1) move some introduction to pretimeout patch (2) delete WS1 value from "interrupts" of binding documentation, since WS1 won't be handled by Linux. v8: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/27/466 Rebase to latest kernel version(4.3-rc7). Separate the patches of GTDT support and arm_arch_timer. This clocksource relevant patch will upstreamed in a individual patchset. Update all the default timeout and pretimeout to 30s and 60s. Improve documentation and inline comments. Fix a bug in pretimeout support which makes timeout and pretimeout parameters initialization fail. v7: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/24/611 Rebase to latest kernel version(4.2-rc7). Improve FDT support: geting resource by order, instead of name. According to the FDT support, Update the example dts file, gtdt.c and sbsa_gwdt.c. Pass the sparse test, and fix the warning. Fix the max_pretimeout and max_timeout value overflow bug. Delete the WCV output value. v6: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/23/359 Improve the dtb example files: reduce the register frame size to 4K. Improve pretimeout support: (1) improve watchdog_init_timeouts function (2) rename watchdog_check_min_max_timeouts back to the original name (1) improve watchdog_timeout_invalid/watchdog_pretimeout_invalid Add the new features in the sbsa_gwdt driver: (1) In the second stage, user can feed the dog without cleaning WS0. (2) In the second stage, user can trigger WS1 by setting pretimeout = 0. (3) expand the max value of pretimeout, in case 10 second is not enough for a kdump kernel reboot in panic. v5: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/10/357 Improve pretimeout support: (1)fix typo in documentation and comments. (2)fix the timeout limits validation bug. Simplify sbsa_gwdt driver: (1)integrate all the registers access functions into caller. v4: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/2/4 Refactor GTDT support code: remove it from arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c, put it into drivers/acpi/gtdt.c file. Integrate the GTDT code of drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c into drivers/acpi/gtdt.c. Improve pretimeout support, fix "pretimeout == 0" problem. Simplify sbsa_gwdt driver: (1)timeout/pretimeout limits setup; (2)keepalive function; (3)delete "clk == 0" check; (4)delete WS0 status bit check in interrupt routine; (5)sbsa_gwdt_set_wcv function. v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/25/111 Delete "export arch_timer_get_rate" patch.

[PATCH] ARM64: ACPI: Update documentation for latest specification version

by al.stone＠linaro.org

From: Al Stone <al.stone(a)linaro.org> The ACPI 6.1 specification was recently released at the end of January 2016, but the arm64 kernel documentation for the use of ACPI was written for the 5.1 version of the spec. There were significant additions to the spec that had not yet been mentioned -- for example, the 6.0 mechanisms added to make it easier to define processors and low power idle states, as well as the 6.1 addition allowing regular interrupts (not just from GPIO) be used to signal ACPI general purpose events. This patch reflects going back through and examining the specs in detail and updating content appropriately. Whilst there, a few odds and ends of typos were caught as well. This brings the documentation up to date with ACPI 6.1 for arm64.
