Lenovo ThinkPads with generic ACPI backlight level control can be easily
set to react to keyboard brightness key presses in a more predictable way
than what they do when in "DOS / bootloader" mode after Linux brings
up the ACPI interface.
The switch to the ACPI backlight mode in the firmware is designed to be
safe to use only as an one way trapdoor. One is not to force the firmware
to switch back to "DOS/bootloader" mode except by rebooting. The mode
switch itself is performed by calling any of the ACPI _BCL methods at least
once.
When in ACPI mode, the backlight firmware just issues (standard) events for
the brightness up/down hot key presses along with the non-standard HKEY
events which thinkpad-acpi traps, and doesn't touch the hardware.
thinkpad-acpi will:
1. Place the ThinkPad firmware in ACPI backlight control mode
if one is available
2. Suppress HKEY backlight change notifications by default
to avoid double-reporting when ACPI video is loaded when
the ThinkPad is in ACPI backlight control mode
3. Urge the user to load the ACPI video driver
The user is free to use either the ACPI video driver to get the brightness
key events, or to override the thinkpad-acpi default hotkey mask to get
them from thinkpad-acpi as well (this will result in duplicate events if
ACPI video is loaded, so let's hope distros won't screw this up).
Provided userspace is sane, all should work (and *keep* working), which is
more that can be said about the non-ACPI mode of the new Lenovo ThinkPad
BIOSes when coupled to current userspace and X.org drivers.
Full guidelines for backlight hot key reporting and use of the
thinkpad-acpi backlight interface have been added to the documentation.

This patch adds in the ability to compile the kgdb internal test
string into the kernel so as to run the tests at boot without changing
the kernel boot arguments. This patch also changes all the error
paths to invoke WARN_ON(1) which will emit the line number of the file

using "kgdbts="

This patch adds regression tests for testing the kgdb core and arch
specific implementation.
The kgdb test suite is designed to be built into the kernel and not as
a module because it uses a number of low level kernel and kgdb
primitives which should not be exported externally.
The kgdb test suite is designed as a KGDB I/O module which
simulates the communications that a debugger would have with kgdb.
The tests are broken up in to a line by line and referenced here as
a "get" which is kgdb requesting input and "put" which is kgdb
sending a response.
The kgdb suite can be invoked from the kernel command line
arguments system or executed dynamically at run time. The test
suite uses the variable "kgdbts" to obtain the information about
which tests to run and to configure the verbosity level. The
following are the various characters you can use with the kgdbts=
line:
When using the "kgdbts=" you only choose one of the following core
test types:
A = Run all the core tests silently
V1 = Run all the core tests with minimal output
V2 = Run all the core tests in debug mode
You can also specify optional tests:
N## = Go to sleep with interrupts of for ## seconds
to test the HW NMI watchdog
F## = Break at do_fork for ## iterations
S## = Break at sys_open for ## iterations
NOTE: that the do_fork and sys_open tests are mutually exclusive.
To invoke the kgdb test suite from boot you use a kernel start
argument as follows:
kgdbts=V1 kgdbwait
Or if you wanted to perform the NMI test for 6 seconds and do_fork
test for 100 forks, you could use:
kgdbts=V1N6F100 kgdbwait
The test suite can also be invoked at run time with:
echo kgdbts=V1N6F100 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
Or as another example:
echo kgdbts=V2 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
When developing a new kgdb arch specific implementation or
using these tests for the purpose of regression testing,
several invocations are required.
1) Boot with the test suite enabled by using the kernel arguments
"kgdbts=V1F100 kgdbwait"
## If kgdb arch specific implementation has NMI use
"kgdbts=V1N6F100
2) After the system boot run the basic test.
echo kgdbts=V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
3) Run the concurrency tests. It is best to use n+1
while loops where n is the number of cpus you have
in your system. The example below uses only two
loops.
## This tests break points on sys_open
while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done &
while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done &
echo kgdbts=V1S10000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
fg # and hit control-c

## This tests break points on do_fork

Clocksource and clockevent device based on the Atmel TC blocks.
The clockevent device handles both periodic and oneshot modes, so this
enables NO_HZ and high res timers on some platforms that previously
couldn't use those mechanisms.
This works on both AVR32 and AT91 chips, given relevant patches for
tclib support (always) and clockevents (or else this will only look
like a higher precision clocksource). It's an updated and modularized
version of an AT91-only patch that has circulated for some time now.
Changes relative to the original patch:
* Update to use new tclib API
* Replace open-coded do-while loop using goto with a real do-while loop
* Minor irq handler optimization: Load register base address from
dev_id instead of a global variable.
* Aggressively turn off clocks when the clockevent isn't being used
* Include the clockevent code on AT91RM9200 as well. The rating is
lower than the System Timer, so the clock will usually stay off.
* Don't assume that the number of clocks is always equal to the
number of irqs.

Create <linux/atmel_tc.h> based on <asm-arm/arch-at91/at91-tc.h> and the
at91sam9263 and at32ap7000 datasheets. Most AT91 and AT32 SOCs have one
or two of these TC blocks, which include three 16-bit timers that can be
interconnected in various ways.
These TC blocks can be used for external interfacing (such as PWM and
measurement), or used as somewhat quirky sixteen-bit timers.
Changes relative to the original version:
* Drop unneeded inclusion of <linux/mutex.h>
* Support an arbitrary number of TC blocks
* Return a struct with information about a TC block from
atmel_tc_alloc() instead of using a combination of return values
and "out" parameters.
* ioremap() the I/O registers on allocation
* Look up clocks and irqs for all channels
* Add "name" parameter to atmel_tc_alloc() and use this when
requesting the iomem resource.
* Check if the platform provided the necessary resources at probe()
time instead of when the TCB is allocated.
