      ssb: add __devinit to some functions · cd155987
      Hauke Mehrtens authored
      
      Two functions in ssb are using register_pci_controller() which is
      __devinit. The functions ssb_pcicore_init_hostmode() and
      ssb_gige_probe() should also be __devinit.
      
      This fixes the following warning:
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x2727b8): Section mismatch in reference from the function ssb_pcicore_init_hostmode() to the function .devinit.text:register_pci_controller()
      The function ssb_pcicore_init_hostmode() references
      the function __devinit register_pci_controller().
      This is often because ssb_pcicore_init_hostmode lacks a __devinit
      annotation or the annotation of register_pci_controller is wrong.
      
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x273398): Section mismatch in reference from the function ssb_gige_probe() to the function .devinit.text:register_pci_controller()
      The function ssb_gige_probe() references
      the function __devinit register_pci_controller().
      This is often because ssb_gige_probe lacks a __devinit
      annotation or the annotation of register_pci_controller is wrong.

      b44: fix workarround for wap54g10 · 6c08af03
      Hauke Mehrtens authored
      
      The code for the b44_wap54g10_workaround was never included, because
      the config option was wrong. The nvram_get function was never in
      mainline kernel, only in external OpenWrt patches.
      
      The code should be compiled in when CONFIG_BCM47XX is selected and not
      when CONFIG_SSB_DRIVER_MIPS is selected, because nvram_getenv is only
      available on bcm47xx platforms and now in the mainline kernel code.
      Using an include is better than a second function declaration, to fix
      this when the function signature changes.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo authored
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      b44 WOL setup: one-bit-off stack corruption kernel panic fix · e0188829
      Stanislav Brabec authored
      
      About 50% of shutdowns of b44 Ethernet adapter ends by kernel panic
      with kernels compiled with stack-protector.
      
      Checking b44_magic_pattern() return values, one call of
      b44_magic_pattern() returns 127. It means, that set_bit(128, pmask)
      was called on line 1509. It means that bit 0 of 17th byte of pmask was
      overwritten. But pmask has only 16 bytes. Stack corruption happens.
       
      It seems that set_bit() on line 1509 always writes one bit off.
      
      The fix does not only solve the stack corruption, but also makes Wake
      On LAN working on my onboard B44 on Asus A7V-333X mainboard.
      
      It seems that this problem affects all kernel versions since commit
      725ad800 ([PATCH] b44: add wol for old nic) on 2006-06-20.

      b44: GFP_DMA skb should not escape from driver · a58c891a
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      b44 chip has some hardware limitations, that need GFP_DMA bounce
      buffers in some situations.
      
      In order to not deplete DMA zone, we should keep allocated GFP_DMA skb
      only for driver use. At rx time, we copy such skb to newly allocated
      skb, reusing existing copybreak infrastructure.
      
      On machines with low amount of memory, all skb meet the hardware limitation,
      so no copy is needed. We detect this situation using a new device flag, set
      to one if one GFP_DMA skb was ever allocated by b44_alloc_rx_skb().
      
      Previously allocated skb, even outside from DMA zone will then be recycled,
      to have minimal impact on DMA zone use.

      b44: fix misalignment and wasted space in rx handling · 4ca85795
      Felix Fietkau authored
      
      Broadcom 4400 puts a header of configurable size (apparently needs
      to be at least 28 bytes) in front of received packets. When handling
      this, the previous code accidentally added the offset 30 *twice* for
      the software and once for the hardware, thereby cancelling out the
      IP alignment effect of the 30 byte padding and wasting an additional
      30 bytes of memory per packet.
      
      This patch fixes this problem and improves routing throughput by
      about 30% on MIPS, where unaligned access is expensive.
