      gpiolib: avr32 at32ap platform support · b98348bd
      David Brownell authored 
      

Teach AVR32 to use the "GPIO Library" when exposing its GPIOs, so that signals
on external chips (like GPIO expanders) can easily be used.

This mostly reorganizes some existing logic, with two minor changes in
behavior:

 - The PSR registers are used instead of the previous "gpio_mask" values,
   matching AT91 behavior and removing some duplication between that role
   and that of "pinmux_mask".

 - NR_IRQs grew to acommodate a bank of external GPIOs.  Eventually this
   number should probably become a board-specific config option.

There's a debugfs dump of status for the built-in GPIOs, showing which pins
have deglitching, pullups, or open drain drive enabled, as well as the ID
string used when requesting each IRQ.

      Add HAVE_KPROBES · 3f550096
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored 
      

Linus:

On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like

        depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32

really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.

It would be much better to do

        depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES

in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a

        bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                default y

in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...

Changelog:

Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
it, I realize that I should have told you to just use

        config KPROBES_SUPPORT
                def_bool y

instead, which is a bit denser.

We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
what "def_bool" is there for...

- Use HAVE_KPROBES
- Use a select

- Yet another update :
Moving to HAVE_* now.

- Update ARM for kprobes support.

      [PATCH] add CONFIG_GENERIC_GPIO · 0a938b97
      David Brownell authored 
      

Most drivers using GPIOs already know they are running on a system that
supports the generic GPIO calls, because of other platform dependencies.
But the generic GPIO-based LED and input button drivers can't know that.

So this patch adds a Kconfig hook, GENERIC_GPIO, to mark the platforms
where <asm/gpio.h> will do the right thing.  Currently that's a bunch of
ARMs, and AVR32; more are on the way.

It also fixes a dependency bug for the gpio button input driver; it was
wrong to start with, now it covers all platforms with GENERIC_GPIO.

      [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel · f0d1b0b3
      David Howells authored 
      

This facility provides three entry points:

	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

	int do_something(long q)
	{
		...;
		y = ilog2(x)
		...;
	}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

	unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.
