Due to changeset ba84be2338 ("remove
linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.h") the sparc64 build started
failing on drivers/base/topology.c:
drivers/base/topology.c: In function ‘show_physical_package_id’:
drivers/base/topology.c:103: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cpu_data’
drivers/base/topology.c:103: error: request for member ‘proc_id’ in something not a structure or union
drivers/base/topology.c: In function ‘show_core_id’:
drivers/base/topology.c:106: error: request for member ‘core_id’ in something not a structure or union
Adding the obvious fix of including asm/cpudata.h into asm/topology.h on
sparc64 doesn't fix it, in fact it makes things worse because of the
header file dependency chain:
linux/gfp.h --> linux/mmzone.h --> linux/topology.h -->
asm/topology.h --> asm/cpudata.h --> linux/percpu.h -->
linux/slab.h
which results in:
include/linux/slub_def.h: In function ‘kmalloc_large’:
include/linux/slub_def.h:209: error: implicit declaration of function ‘__get_free_pages’
include/linux/slub_def.h:209: error: ‘__GFP_COMP’ undeclared (first use in this function)

I often change single options in .config files. Instead of using
an editor or one of the frontends it's convenient to do this from
the command line. It's also useful to do from automated build scripts
when building different variants from a base config file.
I extracted most of the CONFIG manipulation code from one of my
build scripts into a new shell script scripts/config
The script is not integrated with the normal Kconfig machinery
and doesn't do any checking against Kconfig files, but just manipulates
that text format. This is always done at make time anyways.
I believe this script would be a useful standard addition for scripts/*
Sample usage:
./scripts/config --disable smp
Disable SMP in .config file
./scripts/config --file otherdir/.config --module e1000e
Enable E1000E as module in otherdir/.config
./scripts/config --state smp
y
Check state of config option CONFIG_SMP
After merging into git please make scripts/config executable

Dave Jones, in his blog, had some feedback about the bootchart script:
Primarily his complaint was that shorter delays weren't visualized.
The reason for that was that too small delays will have their labels
mixed up in the graph in an unreadable mess.
This patch has a fix for this; for one, it makes the output wider,
so more will fit.
The second part is that smaller delays are now shown with a
much smaller font for the label; while this isn't per se
readable at a 1:1 zoom, at least you can zoom in with most SVG
viewing applications and see what it is you are looking at.

where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box
with 'make O=<destdir> -j5' and then <destdir> is mounted over NFS read-only by
each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on
the test boxes). Then, I cd into <destdir>, run 'make modules_install' and get
the error above.
The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick
up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile.
And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw.
There were two solutions for this issue:
1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file
2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts
As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be
done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.

For RX, when data is ready the SDIO IRQ is fired and that will
allocate an skb, put all the data there and then pass it to the
generic driver RX code for processing and delivery.
TX, when kicked by the generic driver, will schedule work on a

TX is implemented with a kthread sitting in a never-ending loop that
when kicked by the generic driver's TX code will pull data from the TX
FIFO and send it to the device until it drains it. Then it goes back
sleep, waiting for another kick.
RX is implemented in a similar fashion, but reads are kicked in by the
device notifying in the interrupt endpoint that data is ready. Device
reset notifications are also sent via the notification endpoint.
We need a thread contexts to run USB autopm functions (blocking) and

Handling of TX/RX data to/from the i2400m device (IP packets, control
and diagnostics). On RX, this parses the received read transaction
from the device, breaks it in chunks and passes it to the
corresponding subsystems (network and control).
Transmission to the device is done through a software FIFO, as
data/control frames can be coalesced (while the device is reading the
previous tx transaction, others accumulate). A FIFO is used because at
the end it is resource-cheaper that scatter/gather over USB. As well,
most traffic is going to be download (vs upload).

Implementation of the glue to the network stack so the WiMAX device
shows up as an Ethernet device.
Initially we shot for implementing a Pure IP device -- however, the
world seems to turn around Ethernet devices. Main issues were with the
ISC DHCP client and servers (as they don't understand types other than
Ethernet and Token Ring).
We proceeded to register with IANA the PureIP hw type, so that DHCP
requests could declare such. We also created patches to the main ISC
DHCP versions to support it. However, until all that permeates into
deployments, there is going to be a long time.
So we moved back to wrap Ethernet frames around the PureIP device. At
the time being this has overhead; we need to reallocate with space for
an Ethernet header. The reason is the device-to-host protocol
coalesces many network packets into a single message, so we can't
introduce Ethernet headers without overwriting valid data from other
packets.
Coming-soon versions of the firmware have this issue solved.

The driver for the i2400m is a stacked driver. There is a core driver,
the bus-generic driver that has no knowledge or dependencies on how
the device is connected to the system; it only knows how to speak the
device protocol. Then there are the bus-specific drivers (for USB and
SDIO) that provide backends for the generic driver to communicate with
the device.
The bus generic driver connects to the network and WiMAX stacks on the
top side, and on the bottom to the bus-specific drivers.

Implements the three basic operations provided by the stack's control
interface to WiMAX devices:
- Messaging channel between user space and driver/device
This implements a direct communication channel between user space
and the driver/device, by which free form messages can be sent back
and forth.
This is intended for device-specific features, vendor quirks, etc.
- RF-kill framework integration
Provide most of the RF-Kill integration for WiMAX drivers so that
all device drivers have to do is after wimax_dev_add() is call
wimax_report_rfkill_{hw,sw}() to update initial state and then every
time it changes.
Provides wimax_rfkill() for the kernel to call to set software
RF-Kill status and/or query current hardware and software switch
status.
Exports wimax_rfkill() over generic netlink to user space.
- Reset a WiMAX device
Provides wimax_reset() for the kernel to reset a wimax device as
needed and exports it over generic netlink to user space.
This API is clearly limited, as it still provides no way to do the
basic scan, connect and disconnect in a hardware independent way. The
WiMAX case is more complex than WiFi due to the way networks are
discovered and provisioned.
The next developments are to add the basic operations so they can be
offerent by different drivers. However, we'd like to get more vendors
to jump in and provide feedback of how the user/kernel API/abstraction
layer should be.
The user space code for the i2400m, as of now, uses the messaging
channel, but that will change as the API evolves.

Cleanup is currently done when unregistering a family, but there is
no way to unregister a single multicast group due to that function not
being exported. Seems to be a mistake as it is documented as for
external consumption.
This is needed by the WiMAX stack to be able to cleanup unused mc
groups.

Implements the basic life cycles of a 'struct wimax_dev', some common
generic netlink functionality for marshalling calls to user space,
and the device state machine.
For looking up net devices based on their generic netlink family IDs,
use a low overhead method that optimizes for the case where most
systems have a single WiMAX device, or at most, a very low number of
WiMAX adaptors.

This file contains a simple debug framework that is used in the stack;
it allows the debug level to be controlled at compile-time (so the
debug code is optimized out) and at run-time (for what wasn't compiled
out).
This is eventually going to be moved to use dynamic_printk(). Just
need to find time to do it.
