For WMI operations that are only Set or Query readable and writable sysfs attributes created by WMI vendor drivers or the bus driver makes sense. For other WMI operations that are run on Method, there needs to be a way to guarantee to userspace that the results from the method call belong to the data request to the method call. Sysfs attributes don't work well in this scenario because two userspace processes may be competing at reading/writing an attribute and step on each other's data. When a WMI vendor driver declares a callback method in the wmi_driver the WMI bus driver will create a character device that maps to that function. This callback method will be responsible for filtering invalid requests and performing the actual call. That character device will correspond to this path: /dev/wmi/$driver Performing read() on this character device will provide the size of the buffer that the character device needs to perform calls. This buffer size can be set by vendor drivers through a new symbol or when MOF parsing is available by the MOF. Performing ioctl() on this character device will be interpretd by the WMI bus driver. It will perform sanity tests for size of data, test them for a valid instance, copy the data from userspace and pass iton to the vendor driver to further process and run. This creates an implicit policy that each driver will only be allowed a single character device. If a module matches multiple GUID's, the wmi_devices will need to be all handled by the same wmi_driver. The WMI vendor drivers will be responsible for managing inappropriate access to this character device and proper locking on data used by it. When a WMI vendor driver is unloaded the WMI bus driver will clean up the character device and any memory allocated for the call. Signed-off-by:

The dell-smbios stack only currently uses an SMI interface which grants direct access to physical memory to the firmware SMM methods via a pointer. This dispatcher driver adds a WMI-ACPI interface that is detected by WMI probe and preferred over the SMI interface in dell-smbios. Changing this to operate over WMI-ACPI will use an ACPI OperationRegion for a buffer of data storage when SMM calls are performed. This is a safer approach to use in kernel drivers as the SMM will only have access to that OperationRegion. Signed-off-by:

This splits up the dell-smbios driver into two drivers: * dell-smbios * dell-smbios-smm dell-smbios can operate with multiple different dispatcher drivers to perform SMBIOS operations. Also modify the interface that dell-laptop and dell-wmi use align to this model more closely. Rather than a single global buffer being allocated for all drivers, each driver will allocate and be responsible for it's own buffer. The pointer will be passed to the calling function and each dispatcher driver will then internally copy it to the proper location to perform it's call. Add defines for calls used by these methods in the dell-smbios.h header for tracking purposes. Signed-off-by:

Currently userspace tools can access system tokens via the dcdbas kernel module and a SMI call that will cause the platform to execute SMM code. With a goal in mind of deprecating the dcdbas kernel module a different method for accessing these tokens from userspace needs to be created. This is intentionally marked to only be readable as a process with CAP_SYS_ADMIN as it can contain sensitive information about the platform's configuration. While adding this interface I found that some tokens are duplicated. These need to be ignored from sysfs to avoid duplicate files. MAINTAINERS was missing for this driver. Add myself and Pali to maintainers list for it. Signed-off-by:

Current implementations of Intel Thunderbolt controllers will go into a low power mode when not in use. Many machines containing these controllers also have a GPIO wired up that can force the controller awake. This is offered via a ACPI-WMI interface intended to be manipulated by a userspace utility. This mechanism is provided by Intel to OEMs to include in BIOS. It uses an industry wide GUID that is populated in a separate _WDG entry with no binary MOF. This interface allows software such as fwupd to wake up thunderbolt controllers to query the firmware version or flash new firmware. Signed-off-by:

Patch series "kmod: few code cleanups to split out umh code" The usermode helper has a provenance from the old usb code which first required a usermode helper. Eventually this was shoved into kmod.c and the kernel's modprobe calls was converted over eventually to share the same code. Over time the list of usermode helpers in the kernel has grown -- so kmod is just but one user of the API. This series is a simple logical cleanup which acknowledges the code evolution of the usermode helper and shoves the UMH API into its own dedicated file. This way users of the API can later just include umh.h instead of kmod.h. Note despite the diff state the first patch really is just a code shove, no functional changes are done there. I did use git format-patch -M to generate the patch, but in the end the split was not enough for git to consider it a rename hence the large diffstat. I've put this through 0-day and it gives me their machine compilation blessings with all tests as OK. This patch (of 4): There's a slew of usermode helper users and kmod is just one of them. Split out the usermode helper code into its own file to keep the logic and focus split up. This change provides no functional changes.

Patch series "HMM (Heterogeneous Memory Management)", v25. Heterogeneous Memory Management (HMM) (description and justification) Today device driver expose dedicated memory allocation API through their device file, often relying on a combination of IOCTL and mmap calls. The device can only access and use memory allocated through this API. This effectively split the program address space into object allocated for the device and useable by the device and other regular memory (malloc, mmap of a file, share memory, â) only accessible by CPU (or in a very limited way by a device by pinning memory). Allowing different isolated component of a program to use a device thus require duplication of the input data structure using device memory allocator. This is reasonable for simple data structure (array, grid, image, â) but this get extremely complex with advance data structure (list, tree, graph, â) that rely on a web of memory pointers. This is becoming a serious limitation on the kind of work load that can be offloaded to device like GPU. New industry standard like C++, OpenCL or CUDA are pushing to remove this barrier. This require a shared address space between GPU device and CPU so that GPU can access any memory of a process (while still obeying memory protection like read only). This kind of feature is also appearing in various other operating systems. HMM is a set of helpers to facilitate several aspects of address space sharing and device memory management. Unlike existing sharing mechanism that rely on pining pages use by a device, HMM relies on mmu_notifier to propagate CPU page table update to device page table. Duplicating CPU page table is only one aspect necessary for efficiently using device like GPU. GPU local memory have bandwidth in the TeraBytes/ second range but they are connected to main memory through a system bus like PCIE that is limited to 32GigaBytes/second (PCIE 4.0 16x). Thus it is necessary to allow migration of process memory from main system memory to device memory. Issue is that on platform that only have PCIE the device memory is not accessible by the CPU with the same properties as main memory (cache coherency, atomic operations, ...). To allow migration from main memory to device memory HMM provides a set of helper to hotplug device memory as a new type of ZONE_DEVICE memory which is un-addressable by CPU but still has struct page representing it. This allow most of the core kernel logic that deals with a process memory to stay oblivious of the peculiarity of device memory. When page backing an address of a process is migrated to device memory the CPU page table entry is set to a new specific swap entry. CPU access to such address triggers a migration back to system memory, just like if the page was swap on disk. HMM also blocks any one from pinning a ZONE_DEVICE page so that it can always be migrated back to system memory if CPU access it. Conversely HMM does not migrate to device memory any page that is pin in system memory. To allow efficient migration between device memory and main memory a new migrate_vma() helpers is added with this patchset. It allows to leverage device DMA engine to perform the copy operation. This feature will be use by upstream driver like nouveau mlx5 and probably other in the future (amdgpu is next suspect in line). We are actively working on nouveau and mlx5 support. To test this patchset we also worked with NVidia close source driver team, they have more resources than us to test this kind of infrastructure and also a bigger and better userspace eco-system with various real industry workload they can be use to test and profile HMM. The expected workload is a program builds a data set on the CPU (from disk, from network, from sensors, â). Program uses GPU API (OpenCL, CUDA, ...) to give hint on memory placement for the input data and also for the output buffer. Program call GPU API to schedule a GPU job, this happens using device driver specific ioctl. All this is hidden from programmer point of view in case of C++ compiler that transparently offload some part of a program to GPU. Program can keep doing other stuff on the CPU while the GPU is crunching numbers. It is expected that CPU will not access the same data set as the GPU while GPU is working on it, but this is not mandatory. In fact we expect some small memory object to be actively access by both GPU and CPU concurrently as synchronization channel and/or for monitoring purposes. Such object will stay in system memory and should not be bottlenecked by system bus bandwidth (rare write and read access from both CPU and GPU). As we are relying on device driver API, HMM does not introduce any new syscall nor does it modify any existing ones. It does not change any POSIX semantics or behaviors. For instance the child after a fork of a process that is using HMM will not be impacted in anyway, nor is there any data hazard between child COW or parent COW of memory that was migrated to device prior to fork. HMM assume a numbers of hardware features. Device must allow device page table to be updated at any time (ie device job must be preemptable). Device page table must provides memory protection such as read only. Device must track write access (dirty bit). Device must have a minimum granularity that match PAGE_SIZE (ie 4k). Reviewer (just hint): Patch 1 HMM documentation Patch 2 introduce core infrastructure and definition of HMM, pretty small patch and easy to review Patch 3 introduce the mirror functionality of HMM, it relies on mmu_notifier and thus someone familiar with that part would be in better position to review Patch 4 is an helper to snapshot CPU page table while synchronizing with concurrent page table update. Understanding mmu_notifier makes review easier. Patch 5 is mostly a wrapper around handle_mm_fault() Patch 6 add new add_pages() helper to avoid modifying each arch memory hot plug function Patch 7 add a new memory type for ZONE_DEVICE and also add all the logic in various core mm to support this new type. Dan Williams and any core mm contributor are best people to review each half of this patchset Patch 8 special case HMM ZONE_DEVICE pages inside put_page() Kirill and Dan Williams are best person to review this Patch 9 allow to uncharge a page from memory group without using the lru list field of struct page (best reviewer: Johannes Weiner or Vladimir Davydov or Michal Hocko) Patch 10 Add support to uncharge ZONE_DEVICE page from a memory cgroup (best reviewer: Johannes Weiner or Vladimir Davydov or Michal Hocko) Patch 11 add helper to hotplug un-addressable device memory as new type of ZONE_DEVICE memory (new type introducted in patch 3 of this serie). This is boiler plate code around memory hotplug and it also pick a free range of physical address for the device memory. Note that the physical address do not point to anything (at least as far as the kernel knows). Patch 12 introduce a new hmm_device class as an helper for device driver that want to expose multiple device memory under a common fake device driver. This is usefull for multi-gpu configuration. Anyone familiar with device driver infrastructure can review this. Boiler plate code really. Patch 13 add a new migrate mode. Any one familiar with page migration is welcome to review. Patch 14 introduce a new migration helper (migrate_vma()) that allow to migrate a range of virtual address of a process using device DMA engine to perform the copy. It is not limited to do copy from and to device but can also do copy between any kind of source and destination memory. Again anyone familiar with migration code should be able to verify the logic. Patch 15 optimize the new migrate_vma() by unmapping pages while we are collecting them. This can be review by any mm folks. Patch 16 add unaddressable memory migration to helper introduced in patch 7, this can be review by anyone familiar with migration code Patch 17 add a feature that allow device to allocate non-present page on the GPU when migrating a range of address to device memory. This is an helper for device driver to avoid having to first allocate system memory before migration to device memory Patch 18 add a new kind of ZONE_DEVICE memory for cache coherent device memory (CDM) Patch 19 add an helper to hotplug CDM memory Previous patchset posting : v1 http://lwn.net/Articles/597289/ v2 https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/12/559 v3 https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/13/633 v4 https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/29/423 v5 https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/3/759 v6 http://lwn.net/Articles/619737/ v7 http://lwn.net/Articles/627316/ v8 https://lwn.net/Articles/645515/ v9 https://lwn.net/Articles/651553/ v10 https://lwn.net/Articles/654430/ v11 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2286424 v12 http://www.kernelhub.org/?msg=972982&p=2 v13 https://lwn.net/Articles/706856/ v14 https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/12/8/344 v15 http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg1304107.html v16 http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg119814.html v17 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/27/847 v18 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/16/596 v19 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/5/831 v20 https://lwn.net/Articles/720715/ v21 https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/24/747 v22 http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1705.2/05176.html v23 https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1404788.html v24 https://lwn.net/Articles/726691/ This patch (of 19): This adds documentation for HMM (Heterogeneous Memory Management).

Instead of hacking the configuration of the FPI bus into the arch code add an own bus driver for this internal bus. The FPI bus is the main bus of the SoC. This bus driver makes sure the bus is configured correctly before the child drivers are getting initialized. This driver will probably also be used on different SoCs later. Signed-off-by:

Maintaining a subsystem with linux-kernel as the main list is painful as it has way to much traffic. On the other hand the dma-mapping subsystem is small enough that a list on its own would be silly. So use the list for the closes subsystem instead instead. Signed-off-by:

HSDK board manages its clocks using various PLLs. These PLL have same dividers and corresponding control registers mapped to different addresses. So we add one common driver for such PLLs. Each PLL on HSDK board consists of three dividers: IDIV, FBDIV and ODIV. Output clock value is managed using these dividers. We add pre-defined tables with supported rate values and appropriate configurations of IDIV, FBDIV and ODIV for each value. As of today we add support for PLLs that generate clock for the HSDK arc cpus, system, ddr, AXI tunnel and hdmi. By this patch we add support for several plls (arc cpus pll and others), so we had to use two different init types: CLK_OF_DECLARE for arc cpus pll and regular probing for others plls. Signed-off-by:
