The following functionalities are supported: - step counter (counts the number of steps using a HW register) - step detector (generates an iio event at every step the user takes) - activity recognition (rest, walking, jogging, running) - speed - calories - distance To get accurate pedometer results, the user's height, weight and gender need to be configured. The specifications can be downloaded from: http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA955xLSWRM.pdf http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA9553LSWRM.pdf Signed-off-by: Irina Tirdea <irina.tirdea@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pedometer needs to filter out false steps that might be generated by tapping the foot, sitting, etc. To do that it computes the number of steps that occur in a given time and decides the user is moving only if this value is over a threshold. E.g.: the user starts moving only if he takes 4 steps in 3 seconds. This filter is applied only when the user starts moving. A device that has such pedometer functionality is Freescale's MMA9553L: http://www.freescale.com/files/sensors/doc/ref_manual/MMA9553LSWRM.pdf. To export this feature, this patch introduces IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_COUNT and IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_TIME. For the pedometer, in_steps_debounce_count will specify the number of steps that need to occur in in_steps_debounce_time seconds so that the pedometer decides the user is moving.

Original pull message New device support * jsa1212 proxmity / ambient light sensor * SM08500 supported added to the kxcjk-1013 accelerometer driver * KMX61 Accelerometer/Magnetometer. This took a somewhat rocky path being first merged, then reverted for a rewrite after a discussion of how to support additional functionality and finally being merged prior to some last reviews coming in, with resultant follow up patches. * Freescale mma9551l driver (minor follow up warning supression patch). * Semtech SX9500 proximity device driver. * ak8975 gains support for ak09911 and ak09912 and drop the standalone driver for the ak09911. New functionality * Dummy driver gains some virtual registers making it more flexible. * IIO_ACTIVITY channel types, with modifiers running, walking etc. This is to support on chip motion clasifiers. As such it is in the form of a confidence percentage. The only devices so far only do binary decisions but this gives us room when other devices give more nuanced clasification. * IIO_EV_DIR_NONE type for events where there is no obvious direction. First case is step detection. * IIO_STEPS channel type for pedometers. * ENABLE mask element used to control turning on counting types such as the pedometer that need a 'start point'. * INSTANCE event type to support things that happen once. * info element for height calibration (used in various motion estimation algorithms). Note heigh tof use * dummy driver demonstration of the use of all the new bits above. * event monitor support for the new events. * inv_mpu6050 gains an i2c mux to allow bypassing the device to access additional devices connected on the other side of it. Note that in Windows these are handled by firmware on the device and not exposed directly. * inv_mpu6050 gains ACPI enumeration. * inkern interface gains iio_write_channel_raw to allow in kernel users of DAC functionality via a simple wrapper. * Document input current readings in the ABI docs. * Add an error message when we get an out of range error in device tree processing for the in kernel interfaces. Basically a device tree debugging aid. * Add a sanity check that a scan index for a channel is unique during registration. There to help catch bugs as this should never happen in a bug free driver. Cleanups and fixlets A rework of buffer registration from Lars - a precursor to some other upcoming new stuff (a few patches from others rolled in here as well). * Ensure all drivers register the same channels for the device and buffer. * Move buffer registration into the core rather than using the old two step approach. Now we have simple ways of using a unified set channels for both without requiring channels be exposed by both interface, this removes a fair bit of boilerplate. * Stop sca3000 and ad5933 (both in staging) enabling buffer channels by default. It has long be convention in IIO to startup with no channels enabled and leave it up to userspace to say what goes in the buffer. Getting rid of these allows us to drop export of iio_scan_mask_set. * Drop get_bytes_per_datum from iio_buffer_access_funcs as not been used for a while. * Allocate standard buffer attributes in the core rather than in every driver with a buffer. * Make the length attribute read only when a driver is not able to set the length. * Drop the get_length callback for buffers as it is already available in struct iio_buffer. * Drop an unused arguement form iio_kfifo_allocate and add devm allocator for it. * some kconfig entries gain anotation with the resulting module name. * Fix a resulting compile issue in dummy driver due to a stub taking wrong parameters as a result of the above rework. * Fix an off by 2 error in copying the core assigned buffer attributes. Other cleanups, * Trivial space before comma fixups. * ak8975 fixlets - none critical. Rework to allow more device support. * Drop unnecessary sizeof(u8) calls. * bmp280 - refactor the compensation code to reduce copy operations and code length. A second patch futher optimized this and performed some other minor cleanups. * kxcjk-1013 - various power control cleanups to avoid unnecessary enable / disable of device. Make sure it is only controlled at all if CONFIG_PM is enabled. Also som cleanups of error paths. * Small cleanups in adf4530 driver - pointless message and unnecessary braces. * Clarifiy the proximity ABI docs to make it clear it should get bigger as we move futher away. * Drop a misleading comment form industrialio-core.c * Trivial white space cleanups. * sca3000 looses an unused debug function. * Fix char unsigned ordering in ad8366 * Increase the sleep time in ad9523 to make it predictable (value didn't really matter so make it more than 20 msecs) * mxs-lradc touchscreen property cleanups in device tree are fixed to ensure the meet all the 'interesting' documentation. * A couple of cleanups for the staging ad5933 driver to avoid unnecessary conversion to a processed temperature vlaue in kernel and remove platform data form the state structure as not needed after probe. * Fix a wrong scale factor in the docs. Misc * Add IIO include files to the maintainers entry.

A pedometer has two basic functionalities: step counter and step detector. The step counter needs to be enabled and then it will count the steps in its hardware register. Whenever the application needs to check the step count, it will read the step counter register. To support the step counter a new channel type STEPS is added. Since the pedometer needs to be enabled first so that the hardware can count and store the steps, we need a specific ENABLE channel info mask. The step detector will generate an interrupt each time a step is detected. To support this functionality we add a new event type INSTANCE. For more information on the Android requirements for step counter and step detector see: http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html#counter and http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html#detector.

Uses MISC_MAJOR:TPM_MINOR for the first character device in order to retain backwards compatibility. Added tpm_dev_release() back attached to the character device. I've been running this code now for a while on my laptop (Lenovo T430S) TrouSerS works perfectly without modifications. I don't believe it breaks anything significantly. The sysfs attributes that have been placed under the wrong place and are against sysfs-rules.txt should be probably left to stagnate under platform device directory and start defining new sysfs attributes to the char device directory. Guidelines for future TPM sysfs attributes should be probably along the lines of - Single flat set of mandatory sysfs attributes. For example, current PPI interface is way way too rich when you only want to use it to clear and activate the TPM. - Define sysfs attribute if and only if there's no way to get the value from ring-3. No attributes for TPM properties. It's just unnecessary maintenance hurdle that we don't want.

This patch adds support for exposing the raw config space and the vendor, device and class code under sysfs. These will appear in a subdirectory of the AFU device corresponding with the configuration record number, e.g. cat /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/vendor 0x1014 cat /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/device 0x4350 cat /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/class 0x120000 hexdump -C /sys/class/cxl/afu0.0/cr0/config 00000000 14 10 50 43 00 00 00 00 06 00 00 12 00 00 00 00 |..PC............| 00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................| * 00000100 These files behave in much the same way as the equivalent files for PCI devices, with one exception being that the config file is currently read-only and restricted to the root user. It is not necessarily required to be this strict, but we currently do not have a compelling use-case to make it writable and/or world-readable, so I erred on the side of being restrictive.

If load_image_on_perst is set to "user" or "factory", the PERST will cause that image to be loaded. load_image_on_perst is set to "user" for production. "none" could be used for debugging. The PSL trace arrays are preserved which then can be read through debugfs. PERST also triggers CAPP recovery. An HMI comes in, which is handled by EEH. EEH unbinds the driver, calls into Sapphire to reinitialize the PHB, then rebinds the driver.

A power cycle to the pcie slot is required to load the image. "user" loads the user provided image and "factory" loads the factory image upon PERST. sysfs updates the cxl struct in the driver then calls cxl_update_image_control to write the vals in the VSEC.

Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel. This project got later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a proprietary service, without any intentions to have their implementation merged. Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2]. The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic nature of the change that is being introduced. In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code redirection machinery to the patched functions. On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the "patched" one at safe checkpoints. If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that evolved around [3]. It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions for one task to co-exist in the kernel. During a dedicated Live Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both distro vendors. Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting. And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull request. It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e. code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc). It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible. It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code). It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about regs-saving). Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code. The plan basically is that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been sketched out already in the thread at [3]). Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION && SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].

It implements an ftrace-based mechanism and kernel interface for doing live patching of kernel and kernel module functions. It represents the greatest common functionality set between kpatch and kgraft and can accept patches built using either method. This first version does not implement any consistency mechanism that ensures that old and new code do not run together. In practice, ~90% of CVEs are safe to apply in this way, since they simply add a conditional check. However, any function change that can not execute safely with the old version of the function can _not_ be safely applied in this version.

It is intended for supporting cases where the single 'cpu' parameter is insufficient. For example, POWER 8 has events for physical sockets/cores/cpus that are accessible from with virtual machines. To keep using the single 'cpu' parameter we'd need to perform a mapping between Linux's cpus and the physical machine's cpus (in this case Linux is running under a hypervisor). This isn't possible because bindings between our cpus and physical cpus may not be fixed, and we probably won't have a "cpu" on each physical cpu.

We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good thing, but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines removed overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver. Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place, well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid details. The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel. This is code that has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of millions of devices with no issues. Yes, the code is horrid, and the userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change due to legacy issues that we have no control over. Because so many devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as well promote it out of staging. This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone participating agreed that this was the best way forward. There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version. As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been doing it for the past few years with no problems. I'll send a MAINTAINERS entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk to the Google developers about if they are willing to help with it or not, last I checked they were, which was good.
