A fairly straightforward conversion to RST; the document is then added to the driver-api manual. Of course, this document has seen no substantive changes since 2008, so chances are it needs work in other areas as well. Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:

Convert deviceiobook.tmpl to RST and incorporate it into the driver API manual. Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work. There's no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read*() and friends. But we have nice documentation for all those folks writing new drivers that do port I/O :). The :c:func: notation has been left off of all the read*/write* functions. There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory" comments lacks appeal.

$type_struct_full and friends are only used by the restructuredText backend, because it needs to separate enum/struct/typedef/union from the name of the type. However, $type_struct is *also* used by the rST backend. This is confusing. This patch replaces $type_struct's use in the rST backend with a new $type_fallback; it modifies $type_struct so that it can be used in the rST backend; and creates regular expressions like $type_struct for enum/typedef/union, for use in all backends. Note that, compared to $type_*_full, in the new regexes $1 includes both the "kind" and the name (before, $1 was pretty much a constant). Signed-off-by:

Note that, in order to produce the correct Docbook markup, the "." or "->" must be separated from the member name in the regex's captured fields. For consistency, this change is applied to $type_member and $type_member_func too, not just to $type_member_xml. List mode only prints the struct name, to avoid any undesired change in the operation of docproc. Signed-off-by:

An inline function can have an attribute, as in include/linux/log2.h, and kernel-doc handles this already for simple cases. However, some attributes have arguments (e.g. the "target" attribute). Handle those too. Furthermore, attributes could be at the beginning of a function declaration, before the return type. To correctly handle this case, you need to strip spaces after the attributes; otherwise, dump_function is left confused. Signed-off-by:

I am getting the following warning when I build kernel 4.9-git on my PowerBook G4 with a 32-bit PPC processor: AS arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.o arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S:299:7: warning: "CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE" is not defined [-Wundef] This problem is evident after commit 989cea5c ("kbuild: prevent lib-ksyms.o rebuilds"); however, this change in kbuild only exposes an error that has been in the code since 2005 when this source file was created. That was with commit 9994a338 ("powerpc: Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S"). The offending line does not make a lot of sense. This error does not seem to cause any errors in the executable, thus I am not recommending that it be applied to any stable versions. Thanks to Nicholas Piggin for suggesting this solution.

The timer type simplifications caused a new gcc warning: drivers/base/power/domain.c: In function ‘genpd_runtime_suspend’: drivers/base/power/domain.c:562:14: warning: ‘time_start’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] elapsed_ns = ktime_to_ns(ktime_sub(ktime_get(), time_start)); despite the actual use of "time_start" not having changed in any way. It appears that simply changing the type of ktime_t from a union to a plain scalar type made gcc check the use. The variable wasn't actually used uninitialized, but gcc apparently failed to notice that the conditional around the use was exactly the same as the conditional around the initialization of that variable. Add an unnecessary initialization just to shut up the compiler. Signed-off-by:

Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active which requires another cacheline load. This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page), and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra wakeup check that will clears the bit. The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages. Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency). This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by 2-3%. Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory operand widths match and cover both bits).

ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but become completely pointless.
