* i2c: Improve smbus-protocol documentationDavid Brownell2008-05-111-35/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve the smbus-protocol documentation file somewhat: - Use the names of the SMBus protocol operations (from the 2.0 specification), not made-up-for-Linux names. - Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute different protocol operations than their names specify. The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by i2c_smbus_write_byte(). When coding, that's not as bad as it may seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.

Only if the machine has more than 2G memory will 128M be allocated. Although that semantic is correct, it is somewhat baffling. Instead I propose that the end of the range means the first address past the end of the range, ie: 512M up to but not including 2G.

We were using "tpacpi" in symbols already, but this shorthand was not visible to userland. Document that the driver will use tpacpi as a short hand where necessary, and use it to name the kernel thread for NVRAM polling (now named "ktpacpi_nvramd"). Also, register a module alias with the shorthand. One can refer to the module using the shorthand name.

The switch to the ACPI backlight mode in the firmware is designed to be safe to use only as an one way trapdoor. One is not to force the firmware to switch back to "DOS/bootloader" mode except by rebooting. The mode switch itself is performed by calling any of the ACPI _BCL methods at least once. When in ACPI mode, the backlight firmware just issues (standard) events for the brightness up/down hot key presses along with the non-standard HKEY events which thinkpad-acpi traps, and doesn't touch the hardware. thinkpad-acpi will: 1. Place the ThinkPad firmware in ACPI backlight control mode if one is available 2. Suppress HKEY backlight change notifications by default to avoid double-reporting when ACPI video is loaded when the ThinkPad is in ACPI backlight control mode 3. Urge the user to load the ACPI video driver The user is free to use either the ACPI video driver to get the brightness key events, or to override the thinkpad-acpi default hotkey mask to get them from thinkpad-acpi as well (this will result in duplicate events if ACPI video is loaded, so let's hope distros won't screw this up). Provided userspace is sane, all should work (and *keep* working), which is more that can be said about the non-ACPI mode of the new Lenovo ThinkPad BIOSes when coupled to current userspace and X.org drivers. Full guidelines for backlight hot key reporting and use of the thinkpad-acpi backlight interface have been added to the documentation.

One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.
