6ba8bcd457 rtc-cmos: do dev_set_drvdata() earlier in the initialization
The bug is an oops when dev_get_drvdata() returned null in
cmos_update_irq_enable().  The call tree looks like this:
  rtc_dev_ioctl()
    => rtc_update_irq_enable()
      => cmos_update_irq_enable()

It's caused by a race condition in the module initialization.  It is
rtc_device_register() which makes the ioctl operations live so I moved
the call to dev_set_drvdata() before the call to rtc_device_register().

3804a89bfb RTC: rtc-cmos: Fix binary mode support
As a follow-up to the thread about RTC support for some Loongson 2E/2F
boards, this patch tries to address the "REVISIT"/"FIXME" comments about
rtc binary mode handling and allow rtc to work with rtc in binary mode.
I've also raised the message about 24-h mode not supported to warning
otherwise, one may end up with no rtc without any message in the kernel
log.

d1b2efa83f rtc: disable hpet emulation on suspend
I noticed that rtc wont generate interrupts after a resume from disk.
Here hpet rtc emulation is used.

Problem is that rtc hpet comparator, isn't reinitialized after resume.
Easiest way to solve this, is always mask all hpet interrupts on suspend
This is triggered, when suspending with alarm set.

Otherwise, hpet driver will think it doesn't need to reinitialize
the rtc comparator, thus rtc interrupts won't work.

This emulation isn't need for wakealarm.

659098141d rtc: mark if rtc-cmos drivers were successfully registered
rtc-cmos has two drivers, one PNP and one platform.  When PNP has not
succeeded probing, platform is registered.  However, it tries to
unregister both drivers unconditionally, instead of only unregistering
those that were successfully registered.  This causes runtime warnings to
be emitted from the driver core code.

Fix this with a boolean variable for each driver indicating whether
registering was successful.

2fac6674dd rtc: bunch of drivers: fix 'no irq' case handing
This patch fixes a bunch of irq checking misuses.  Most drivers were
getting irq via platform_get_irq(), which returns -ENXIO or r->start.

rtc-cmos.c is special.  It is using PNP and platform bindings.  Hopefully
nobody is using PNP IRQ 0 for RTC.  So the changes should be safe.

rtc-sh.c is using platform_get_irq, but was storing a result into an
unsigned type, then was checking for < 0.  This is fixed now.

01e8ef11bc x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute
Tejun's commit 7b595756ec made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!

This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.

akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

c8fc40cd34 rtc-cmos: export second NVRAM bank
Teach rtc-cmos about the second bank of registers found on most modern x86
systems, giving access to 128 bytes more NVRAM.

This version only sees that extra NVRAM when both register banks are
provided as part of *one* PNP resource.  Since BIOS on some systems
presents them using two IO resources, and nothing merges them, this can't
always show all the NVRAM.  (We're supposed to be able to use PNP id
PNP0b01 too, but BIOS tables doesn't often seem to use that particular
option.)

72f22b1eb6 rtc-cmos: look for PNP RTC first, then for platform RTC
We shouldn't rely on "pnp_platform_devices" to tell us whether there
is a PNP RTC device.

I introduced "pnp_platform_devices", but I think it was a mistake.
All it tells us is whether we found any PNPBIOS or PNPACPI devices.
Many machines have some PNP devices, but do not describe the RTC
via PNP.  On those machines, we need to do the platform driver probe
to find the RTC.

We should just register the PNP driver and see whether it claims anything.
If we don't find a PNP RTC, fall back to the platform driver probe.

This (in conjunction with the arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c patch to add
a platform RTC device when PNP doesn't have one) should resolve
these issues:

7e2a31da85 rtc-cmos: avoid spurious irqs
This fixes kernel http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11112 (bogus
RTC update IRQs reported) for rtc-cmos, in two ways:

  - When HPET is stealing the IRQs, use the first IRQ to grab
    the seconds counter which will be monitored (instead of
    using whatever was previously in that memory);

  - In sane IRQ handling modes, scrub out old IRQ status before
    enabling IRQs.

That latter is done by tightening up IRQ handling for rtc-cmos everywhere,
also ensuring that when HPET is used it's the only thing triggering IRQ
reports to userspace; net object shrink.

Also fix a bogus HPET message related to its RTC emulation.

35d3fdd5f3 rtc-cmos: improve HPET IRQ glue
Resolve http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11051 and other bugs
related to the way the HPET glue code in rtc-cmos was incomplete and
inconsistent:

 * Switch the approach so that the basic driver code flow isn't
   changed by having HPET ... instead, just have HPET shadow the
   RTC_CONTROL irq enables and RTC_FREQ_SELECT data.  It's only
   coping with IRQ thievery, after all.

 * Do that consistently (!!) to avoid problems when the HPET code
   is out of sync with the real RTC intent.  Examples include:

   - cmos_procfs(), which now reports correct data

   - cmos_irq_set_state() ... also removing the previous PIE_{ON,OFF}
     ioctl support so only one code path manages "periodic" IRQs

   - cmos_do_shutdown() ... currently a "just in case" change.

   - cmos_suspend() and cmos_resume() ... also handling a bug that
     was specific to HPET's IRQ thievery, where the alarm wasn't
     disabled after waking the system

 * Always call that HPET code under the RTC spinlock (it doesn't do
   its own locking)

Also clean up the HPET glue:

 * Add some comments explaining what's going on.

 * Switch to having just one #ifdef for the HPET glue, and inline
   functions (not #defines) to avoid some compiler warnings.

 * Have the probe message also report when HPET IRQs are involved

This still leaves various holes in the HPET glue, like the emulated update
IRQs being out of sync with the RTC, alarms never using day or month
matches, and many extra IRQs (at 64 Hz).

turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around

past, and now it have regressed.

The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC
when PNP is disabled.  This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel
on an older PCs.

8a0bdfd7a0 rtc-cmos alarm acts as oneshot
Start making the rtc-cmos alarm act more like a oneshot alarm by disabling
that alarm after its IRQ fires.  (ACPI hooks are also needed.)

The Linux RTC framework has previously been a bit vague in this area, but
any other behavior is problematic and not very portable.  RTCs with full
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:SS] alarms won't have a problem here.  Only ones with
partial match criteria, with the most visible example being the PC RTC, get
confused.  (Because the criteria will match repeatedly.)

Update comments relating to that oneshot behavior and timezone handling.
(Timezones are another issue that's mostly visible with rtc-cmos.  That's
because PCs often dual-boot MS-Windows, which likes its RTC to match local
wall-clock time instead of UTC.)

e07e232cd9 rtc-cmos: export nvram in sysfs
This makes rtc-cmos export its NVRAM, like several other RTC drivers.

It still works within the limits of the current CMOS_READ/CMOS_WRITE calls,
which don't understand how to access multiple register banks.  The primary
impact of that limitation is that Linux can't access the uppermost 128
bytes of NVRAM on many systems.

Note that this isn't aiming to be a drop-in replacement for the legacy
/dev/nvram support.  (Presumably that has real users, and isn't just
getting carried forward automatically?) Userspace handles more work:

 - When userspace code updates NVRAM, that will need to include
   updating any platform-specific checksums that may apply.

 - No /proc/driver/nvram file will parse and display NVRAM data
   according to whichever boot firmware your board expects.

Also minor pnp-related updates: update a comment, remove dead code.

615bb29ccb rtc: ignore msb when reading back mday from alarm
I have a system here that actively relies upon RTC wake alarms, and it
has been failing (again) for a few days when attempting to use the
/sys/class/rtc/rtc?/wakealarm interface.

The old (fixed by Linus) /proc/ interface still works, but I'd like to
get it using the new one.

This patch fixes rtc-cmos to ignore the two upper bits when reading the
BCD mday (day of month) register from CMOS.  Some systems (eg.  mine)
seem to have the top bit set to "1" for some reason.

The older /proc/ interface ignores the upper bits, and so we should too.

05440dfcfc rtc-cmos probe() cleanup
Some cleanups for the rtc-cmos probe logic:

 - Claim i/o ports with request_region() not request_resource(),
   for better coexistence betwen platform and pnp bus glues.

 - Claim those ports earlier, to help work around procfs bugs
   (it allows duplicate names, like /proc/driver/rtc).

 - Fix some glitches in cleanup code, notably a cut'n'paste-o
   where the i/o port region might not get released during
   cleanup after a probe fault.

And some comment clarifications, including noting that this code
must work with PNPBIOS not just PNPACPI..

moves that validity check into the infrastructure, so drivers don't need to

87ac84f42a rtc-cmos wakeup interface
I finally got around to testing the updated wakeup event hooks for rtc-cmos,
and they follow in two patches:

 - Interface update ... when a simple enable_irq_wake() doesn't suffice,
   the platform data can hold suspend/resume callback hooks.

 - ACPI implementation ... provides callback hooks to do ACPI magic, and
   eliminate the legacy /proc/acpi/alarm file.

The interface update could go into 2.6.21, but that's not essential; they
will be NOPs on most PCs, without the ACPI stuff.

I suspect the ACPI folk may have opinions about how to merge that second
patch, and how to obsolete that legacy procfs file.  I'd like to see that
merge into 2.6.22 if possible...

As for how to kick it in ... two ways:

 - The appended "rtcwake" program; updated since the last time it was
   posted, it deals much better with timezones and DST.

 - Write the /sys/class/rtc/.../wakealarm file, then go to sleep.

For some reason RTC wake from "swsusp" stopped working on a system where
it previously worked; the alarm setting appears to get clobbered.  But
on the bright side, RTC wake from "standby" worked on a system that had
never been able to resume from that state before ... IDEACPI is my guess
as to why it finally started to work.  It's the old "two steps forward,
one step back" dance, I guess.

This patch:

Make rtc-cmos do the relevant magic so this RTC can wake the system from a
sleep state.  That magic comes in two basic flavors:

 - Straightforward:  enable_irq_wake(), the way it'd work on most SOC chips;
   or generally with system sleep states which don't disable core IRQ logic.

 - Roundabout, using non-IRQ platform hooks.  This is needed with ACPI and
   one almost-clone chip which uses a special wakeup-only alarm.  (That's
   the RTC used on Footbridge boards, FWIW, which don't do PM in Linux.)

A separate patch implements those hooks for ACPI platforms, so that rtc_cmos
can issue system wakeup events (and its sysfs "wakealarm" attribute works on
at least some systems).

7be2c7c96a [PATCH] RTC framework driver for CMOS RTCs
This is an "RTC framework" driver for the "CMOS" RTCs which are standard on
PCs and some other platforms.  That's MC146818 compatible silicon.
Advantages of this vs.  drivers/char/rtc.c (use one _or_ the other, only
one will be able to claim the RTC irq) include:

 - This leverages both the new RTC framework and the driver model; both
   PNPACPI and platform device modes are supported.  (A separate patch
   creates a platform device on PCs where PNPACPI isn't configured.)

 - It supports common extensions like longer alarms.  (A separate patch
   exports that information from ACPI through platform_data.)

 - Likewise, system wakeup events use "real driver model support", with
   policy control via sysfs "wakeup" attributes and and using normal rtc
   ioctls to manage wakeup.  (Patch in the works.  The ACPI hooks are
   known; /proc/acpi/alarm can vanish.  Making it work with EFI will
   be a minor challenge to someone with e.g. a MiniMac.)

It's not yet been tested on non-x86 systems, without ACPI, or with HPET.
And the RTC framework will surely have teething pains on "mainstream"
PC-based systems (though must embedded Linux systems use it heavily), not
limited to sorting out the "/dev/rtc0" issue (udev easily tweaked).  Also,
the ALSA rtctimer code doesn't use the new RTC API.

Otherwise, this should be a no-known-regressions replacement for the old
drivers/char/rtc.c driver, and should help the non-embedded distros (and
the new timekeeping code) start to switch to the framework.

Note also that any systems using "rtc-m48t86" are candidates to switch over
to this more functional driver; the platform data is different, and the way
bytes are read is different, but otherwise those chips should be compatible.
