From: Sam Revitch <sam.revitch@gmail.com>Recently a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Roadie device ended up in my

using the headphone jack in 2-channel mode. The device has a DIN
connector carrying six more channels that are otherwise silent.
C-Media has freely available documentation for the CM106 chip around
which this device is based, and enabling 8-channel output, or
6-channel output with the headphone jack following the front pair is a
matter of setting one of its registers.
Attached is a patch to try to enable 5.1 output mode at probe time.
It seems to work correctly with my device. There is quite list of
other configurables for this device that might deserve controls.

Commit

Merge setup function") has a missing return 0 in the _probe() function.
This means the error path is always executed and pci_disable_device() is
called even when the device just got successfully enabled.
Having the SMBus device disabled makes some systems (eg.
Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook E8010) hang hard during power-off.
Intead of reverting the whole commit this patch fixes it up:
- don't ever call pci_disable_device(), also not in the _remove() function
to avoid hangs
- fix missing pci_release_region() in error path

The `-Wa,-S' option prevents `gas' from using short forms of jsr.
Without it, `gas' replaces `jsr xxx.l' (6 bytes) by `jsr xxx@pc'
(4 bytes) when possible. On 5272, both forms are equally fast.

[PATCH] pi-futex: futex code cleanups
We are pleased to announce "lightweight userspace priority inheritance" (PI)
support for futexes. The following patchset and glibc patch implements it,
ontop of the robust-futexes patchset which is included in 2.6.16-mm1.
We are calling it lightweight for 3 reasons:
- in the user-space fastpath a PI-enabled futex involves no kernel work
(or any other PI complexity) at all. No registration, no extra kernel
calls - just pure fast atomic ops in userspace.
- in the slowpath (in the lock-contention case), the system call and
scheduling pattern is in fact better than that of normal futexes, due to
the 'integrated' nature of FUTEX_LOCK_PI. [more about that further down]
- the in-kernel PI implementation is streamlined around the mutex
abstraction, with strict rules that keep the implementation relatively
simple: only a single owner may own a lock (i.e. no read-write lock
support), only the owner may unlock a lock, no recursive locking, etc.
Priority Inheritance - why, oh why???
-------------------------------------
Many of you heard the horror stories about the evil PI code circling Linux for
years, which makes no real sense at all and is only used by buggy applications
and which has horrible overhead. Some of you have dreaded this very moment,
when someone actually submits working PI code ;-)
So why would we like to see PI support for futexes?
We'd like to see it done purely for technological reasons. We dont think it's
a buggy concept, we think it's useful functionality to offer to applications,
which functionality cannot be achieved in other ways. We also think it's the
right thing to do, and we think we've got the right arguments and the right
numbers to prove that. We also believe that we can address all the
counter-arguments as well. For these reasons (and the reasons outlined below)
we are submitting this patch-set for upstream kernel inclusion.
What are the benefits of PI?
The short reply:
----------------
User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space
applications. In the best-case, it can help achieve determinism and
well-bound latencies. Even in the worst-case, PI will improve the statistical
distribution of locking related application delays.
The longer reply:
-----------------
Firstly, sharing locks between multiple tasks is a common programming
technique that often cannot be replaced with lockless algorithms. As we can
see it in the kernel [which is a quite complex program in itself], lockless
structures are rather the exception than the norm - the current ratio of
lockless vs. locky code for shared data structures is somewhere between 1:10
and 1:100. Lockless is hard, and the complexity of lockless algorithms often
endangers to ability to do robust reviews of said code. I.e. critical RT
apps often choose lock structures to protect critical data structures, instead
of lockless algorithms. Furthermore, there are cases (like shared hardware,
or other resource limits) where lockless access is mathematically impossible.
Media players (such as Jack) are an example of reasonable application design
with multiple tasks (with multiple priority levels) sharing short-held locks:
for example, a highprio audio playback thread is combined with medium-prio
construct-audio-data threads and low-prio display-colory-stuff threads. Add
video and decoding to the mix and we've got even more priority levels.
So once we accept that synchronization objects (locks) are an unavoidable fact
of life, and once we accept that multi-task userspace apps have a very fair
expectation of being able to use locks, we've got to think about how to offer
the option of a deterministic locking implementation to user-space.
Most of the technical counter-arguments against doing priority inheritance
only apply to kernel-space locks. But user-space locks are different, there
we cannot disable interrupts or make the task non-preemptible in a critical
section, so the 'use spinlocks' argument does not apply (user-space spinlocks
have the same priority inversion problems as other user-space locking
constructs). Fact is, pretty much the only technique that currently enables
good determinism for userspace locks (such as futex-based pthread mutexes) is
priority inheritance:
Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock [this
is a quite common scenario for most non-trivial RT applications], even if all
critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical
sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of
instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the
high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while
it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it
indefinitely.
Implementation:
---------------
As mentioned before, the userspace fastpath of PI-enabled pthread mutexes
involves no kernel work at all - they behave quite similarly to normal
futex-based locks: a 0 value means unlocked, and a value==TID means locked.
(This is the same method as used by list-based robust futexes.) Userspace uses
atomic ops to lock/unlock these mutexes without entering the kernel.
To handle the slowpath, we have added two new futex ops:
FUTEX_LOCK_PI
FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI
If the lock-acquire fastpath fails, [i.e. an atomic transition from 0 to TID
fails], then FUTEX_LOCK_PI is called. The kernel does all the remaining work:
if there is no futex-queue attached to the futex address yet then the code
looks up the task that owns the futex [it has put its own TID into the futex
value], and attaches a 'PI state' structure to the futex-queue. The pi_state
includes an rt-mutex, which is a PI-aware, kernel-based synchronization
object. The 'other' task is made the owner of the rt-mutex, and the
FUTEX_WAITERS bit is atomically set in the futex value. Then this task tries
to lock the rt-mutex, on which it blocks. Once it returns, it has the mutex
acquired, and it sets the futex value to its own TID and returns. Userspace
has no other work to perform - it now owns the lock, and futex value contains
FUTEX_WAITERS|TID.
If the unlock side fastpath succeeds, [i.e. userspace manages to do a TID ->
0 atomic transition of the futex value], then no kernel work is triggered.
If the unlock fastpath fails (because the FUTEX_WAITERS bit is set), then
FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI is called, and the kernel unlocks the futex on the behalf of
userspace - and it also unlocks the attached pi_state->rt_mutex and thus wakes
up any potential waiters.
Note that under this approach, contrary to other PI-futex approaches, there is
no prior 'registration' of a PI-futex. [which is not quite possible anyway,
due to existing ABI properties of pthread mutexes.]
Also, under this scheme, 'robustness' and 'PI' are two orthogonal properties
of futexes, and all four combinations are possible: futex, robust-futex,
PI-futex, robust+PI-futex.
glibc support:
--------------
Ulrich Drepper and Jakub Jelinek have written glibc support for PI-futexes
(and robust futexes), enabling robust and PI (PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT) POSIX
mutexes. (PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT support will be added later on too, no
additional kernel changes are needed for that). [NOTE: The glibc patch is
obviously inofficial and unsupported without matching upstream kernel
functionality.]
the patch-queue and the glibc patch can also be downloaded from:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/PI-futex-patches/
Many thanks go to the people who helped us create this kernel feature: Steven
Rostedt, Esben Nielsen, Benedikt Spranger, Daniel Walker, John Cooper, Arjan
van de Ven, Oleg Nesterov and others. Credits for related prior projects goes
to Dirk Grambow, Inaky Perez-Gonzalez, Bill Huey and many others.
Clean up the futex code, before adding more features to it:
- use u32 as the futex field type - that's the ABI
- use __user and pointers to u32 instead of unsigned long
- code style / comment style cleanups
- rename hash-bucket name from 'bh' to 'hb'.
I checked the pre and post futex.o object files to make sure this
patch has no code effects.

redistribute the high priority tasks (we'd rather move the second highest
priority task), there is a risk that this could set up a loop with this
task bouncing backwards and forwards between the two queues. (This latter
possibility can be demonstrated by running a nice==-20 CPU bound task on an
otherwise quiet 2 CPU system.)
Solution:
Modify the mechanism so that it does not override skip for the highest
priority task on the CPU. Of course, if there are more than one tasks at
the highest priority then it will allow the override for one of them as
this is a desirable redistribution of high priority tasks.

[PATCH] sched: modify move_tasks() to improve load balancing outcomes
Problem:
The move_tasks() function is designed to move UP TO the amount of load it
is asked to move and in doing this it skips over tasks looking for ones
whose load weights are less than or equal to the remaining load to be
moved. This is (in general) a good thing but it has the unfortunate result
of breaking one of the original load balancer's good points: namely, that
(within the limits imposed by the active/expired array model and the fact
the expired is processed first) it moves high priority tasks before low
priority ones and this means there's a good chance (see active/expired
problem for why it's only a chance) that the highest priority task on the
queue but not actually on the CPU will be moved to the other CPU where (as
a high priority task) it may preempt the current task.
Solution:
Modify move_tasks() so that high priority tasks are not skipped when moving
them will make them the highest priority task on their new run queue.

[PATCH] sched: implement smpnice
Problem:
The introduction of separate run queues per CPU has brought with it "nice"
enforcement problems that are best described by a simple example.
For the sake of argument suppose that on a single CPU machine with a
nice==19 hard spinner and a nice==0 hard spinner running that the nice==0
task gets 95% of the CPU and the nice==19 task gets 5% of the CPU. Now
suppose that there is a system with 2 CPUs and 2 nice==19 hard spinners and
2 nice==0 hard spinners running. The user of this system would be entitled
to expect that the nice==0 tasks each get 95% of a CPU and the nice==19
tasks only get 5% each. However, whether this expectation is met is pretty
much down to luck as there are four equally likely distributions of the
tasks to the CPUs that the load balancing code will consider to be balanced
with loads of 2.0 for each CPU. Two of these distributions involve one
nice==0 and one nice==19 task per CPU and in these circumstances the users
expectations will be met. The other two distributions both involve both
nice==0 tasks being on one CPU and both nice==19 being on the other CPU and
each task will get 50% of a CPU and the user's expectations will not be
met.
Solution:
The solution to this problem that is implemented in the attached patch is
to use weighted loads when determining if the system is balanced and, when
an imbalance is detected, to move an amount of weighted load between run
queues (as opposed to a number of tasks) to restore the balance. Once
again, the easiest way to explain why both of these measures are necessary
is to use a simple example. Suppose that (in a slight variation of the
above example) that we have a two CPU system with 4 nice==0 and 4 nice=19
hard spinning tasks running and that the 4 nice==0 tasks are on one CPU and
the 4 nice==19 tasks are on the other CPU. The weighted loads for the two
CPUs would be 4.0 and 0.2 respectively and the load balancing code would
move 2 tasks resulting in one CPU with a load of 2.0 and the other with
load of 2.2. If this was considered to be a big enough imbalance to
justify moving a task and that task was moved using the current
move_tasks() then it would move the highest priority task that it found and
this would result in one CPU with a load of 3.0 and the other with a load
of 1.2 which would result in the movement of a task in the opposite
direction and so on -- infinite loop. If, on the other hand, an amount of
load to be moved is calculated from the imbalance (in this case 0.1) and
move_tasks() skips tasks until it find ones whose contributions to the
weighted load are less than this amount it would move two of the nice==19
tasks resulting in a system with 2 nice==0 and 2 nice=19 on each CPU with
loads of 2.1 for each CPU.
One of the advantages of this mechanism is that on a system where all tasks
have nice==0 the load balancing calculations would be mathematically
identical to the current load balancing code.
Notes:
struct task_struct:
has a new field load_weight which (in a trade off of space for speed)
stores the contribution that this task makes to a CPU's weighted load when
it is runnable.
struct runqueue:
has a new field raw_weighted_load which is the sum of the load_weight
values for the currently runnable tasks on this run queue. This field
always needs to be updated when nr_running is updated so two new inline
functions inc_nr_running() and dec_nr_running() have been created to make
sure that this happens. This also offers a convenient way to optimize away
this part of the smpnice mechanism when CONFIG_SMP is not defined.
int try_to_wake_up():
in this function the value SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE is used to represent the load
contribution of a single task in various calculations in the code that
decides which CPU to put the waking task on. While this would be a valid
on a system where the nice values for the runnable tasks were distributed
evenly around zero it will lead to anomalous load balancing if the
distribution is skewed in either direction. To overcome this problem
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE has been replaced by the load_weight for the relevant task
or by the average load_weight per task for the queue in question (as
appropriate).
int move_tasks():
The modifications to this function were complicated by the fact that
active_load_balance() uses it to move exactly one task without checking
whether an imbalance actually exists. This precluded the simple
overloading of max_nr_move with max_load_move and necessitated the addition
of the latter as an extra argument to the function. The internal
implementation is then modified to move up to max_nr_move tasks and
max_load_move of weighted load. This slightly complicates the code where
move_tasks() is called and if ever active_load_balance() is changed to not
use move_tasks() the implementation of move_tasks() should be simplified
accordingly.
struct sched_group *find_busiest_group():
Similar to try_to_wake_up(), there are places in this function where
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE is used to represent the load contribution of a single
task and the same issues are created. A similar solution is adopted except
that it is now the average per task contribution to a group's load (as
opposed to a run queue) that is required. As this value is not directly
available from the group it is calculated on the fly as the queues in the
groups are visited when determining the busiest group.
A key change to this function is that it is no longer to scale down
*imbalance on exit as move_tasks() uses the load in its scaled form.
void set_user_nice():
has been modified to update the task's load_weight field when it's nice
value and also to ensure that its run queue's raw_weighted_load field is
updated if it was runnable.
From: "Siddha, Suresh B" <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
With smpnice, sched groups with highest priority tasks can mask the imbalance
between the other sched groups with in the same domain. This patch fixes some
of the listed down scenarios by not considering the sched groups which are
lightly loaded.
a) on a simple 4-way MP system, if we have one high priority and 4 normal
priority tasks, with smpnice we would like to see the high priority task
scheduled on one cpu, two other cpus getting one normal task each and the
fourth cpu getting the remaining two normal tasks. but with current
smpnice extra normal priority task keeps jumping from one cpu to another
cpu having the normal priority task. This is because of the
busiest_has_loaded_cpus, nr_loaded_cpus logic.. We are not including the
cpu with high priority task in max_load calculations but including that in
total and avg_load calcuations.. leading to max_load < avg_load and load
balance between cpus running normal priority tasks(2 Vs 1) will always show
imbalanace as one normal priority and the extra normal priority task will
keep moving from one cpu to another cpu having normal priority task..
b) 4-way system with HT (8 logical processors). Package-P0 T0 has a
highest priority task, T1 is idle. Package-P1 Both T0 and T1 have 1 normal
priority task each.. P2 and P3 are idle. With this patch, one of the
normal priority tasks on P1 will be moved to P2 or P3..
c) With the current weighted smp nice calculations, it doesn't always make
sense to look at the highest weighted runqueue in the busy group..
Consider a load balance scenario on a DP with HT system, with Package-0
containing one high priority and one low priority, Package-1 containing one
low priority(with other thread being idle).. Package-1 thinks that it need
to take the low priority thread from Package-0. And find_busiest_queue()
returns the cpu thread with highest priority task.. And ultimately(with
help of active load balance) we move high priority task to Package-1. And
same continues with Package-0 now, moving high priority task from package-1
to package-0.. Even without the presence of active load balance, load
balance will fail to balance the above scenario.. Fix find_busiest_queue
to use "imbalance" when it is lightly loaded.

[PATCH] sched: fix smt nice lock contention and optimization
Initial report and lock contention fix from Chris Mason:
Recent benchmarks showed some performance regressions between 2.6.16 and
2.6.5. We tracked down one of the regressions to lock contention in
schedule heavy workloads (~70,000 context switches per second)
kernel/sched.c:dependent_sleeper() was responsible for most of the lock
contention, hammering on the run queue locks. The patch below is more of a
discussion point than a suggested fix (although it does reduce lock
contention significantly). The dependent_sleeper code looks very expensive
to me, especially for using a spinlock to bounce control between two
different siblings in the same cpu.
It is further optimized:
* perform dependent_sleeper check after next task is determined
* convert wake_sleeping_dependent to use trylock
* skip smt runqueue check if trylock fails
* optimize double_rq_lock now that smt nice is converted to trylock
* early exit in searching first SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER domain
* speedup fast path of dependent_sleeper

[PATCH] chardev: GPIO for SCx200 & PC-8736x: modernize driver init to 2.6 api
Adopt many modern 2.6 coding practices, ala LDD3, chapter 3. Changes are
limited to initialization calls from module init, ie: cdev_init, cdev_add,
*_chrdev_region, mkdev.

[PATCH] chardev: GPIO for SCx200 & PC-8736x: whitespace pre-clean
GPIO SUPPORT FOR SCx200 & PC8736x
The patch-set reworks the 2.4 vintage scx200_gpio driver for modern 2.6, and
refactors GPIO support to reuse it in a new driver for the GPIO on PC-8736x
chips. Its handy for the Soekris.com net-4801, which has both chips.
These patches have been seen recently on Kernel-Mentors, and then
Kernel-Newbies ML, where Jesper Juhl kindly reviewed it. His feedback has
been incorporated. Thanks Jesper !
Its also gone to soekris-tech@soekris.com for possible testing by linux folks,
I've gotten 1 promise so far. Theyre mostly BSD folk over there, but we'll
see..
Device-file & Sysfs
The driver preserves the existing device-file interface, including the
write/cmd set, but adds v to 'view' the pin-settings & configs by inducing,
via gpio_dump(), a dev_info() call. Its a fairly crappy way to get status,
but it sticks to the syslog approach, conservatively.
Allowing users to voluntarily trigger logging is good, it gives them a
familiar way to confirm their app's control & use of the pins, and I've thus
reduced the pin-mode-updates from dev_info to dev_dbg.
I've recently bolted on a proto sysfs interface for both new drivers. Im not
including those patches here; they (the patch + doc-pre-patch) are still quite
raw (and unreviewed on KNML), and since they 'invent' a convention for GPIO, a
proper vetting is needed. Since this patchset is much bigger than my previous
ones, Id like to keep things simpler, and address it 1st, before bolting on
more stuff.
The driver-split
The Geode CPU and the PC-87366 Super-IO chip have GPIO units which share a
common pin-architecture (same pin features, with same bits controlling), but
with different addressing mechanics and port organizations.
The vintage driver expresses the pin capabilities with pin-mode commands
[OoPpTt],etc that change the pin configurations, and since the 2 chips share
pin-arch, we can reuse the read(), write() commands, once the implementation
is suitably adjusted.
The patchset adds a vtable: struct nsc_gpio_ops, to abstract the existing gpio
operations, then adjusts fileops.write() code to invoke operations via that
vtable. Driver specific open()s set private_data to the vtable so its
available for use by write().
The vtable gets the gpio_dump() too, since its user-friendly, and (could be
construed as) part of the current device-file interface. To support use of
dev_dbg() in write() & _dump(), the vtable gets a dev ptr too, set by both
scx200 & pc8736x _gpio drivers.
heres how the pins are presented in syslog:
[ 1890.176223] scx200_gpio.0: io00: 0x0044 TS OD PUE EDGE LO DEBOUNCE
[ 1890.287223] scx200_gpio.0: io01: 0x0003 OE PP PUD EDGE LO
nsc_gpio.c: new file is new home of several file-ops methods, which are
modified to get their vtable from filp->private_data, and use it where needed.
scx200_gpio.c: keeps some of its existing gpio routines, but now wires them up
via the vtable (they're invoked by nsc_gpio.c:nsc_gpio_write() thru this
vtable). A driver-spcific open() initializes filp->private_data with the
vtable.
Once the split is clean, and the scx200_gpio driver is working, we copy and
modify the function and variable names, and rework the access-method bodies
for the different addressing scheme.

Removed editor format-control comments, and used scripts/Lindent to clean up
whitespace, then deleted the bogus chunks :-(
