This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a
technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory
available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit
scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some
memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and
the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor
may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and
instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.
We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity)
expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into
virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with
virtio.
There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the
right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are
prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like
to get this driver upstream.
We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not
have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have
"upstream first" requirement.
The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on
VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it
will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional
risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate
if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

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
fg # and hit control-c
## This tests break points on do_fork
while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done &
while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done &
echo kgdbts=V1F1000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts

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.

Rename the ibm-acpi driver to thinkpad-acpi. ThinkPads are not even made
by IBM anymore, so it is high time to rename the driver...
The name thinkpad-acpi was used sometime ago by a thinkpad-specific hotkey
driver by Erik Rigtorp, around the 2.6.8-2.6.10 time frame. The driver
apparently never got merged into mainline (it did make some trips through
-mm). ibm-acpi was merged soon after, making its debut in 2.6.10.
The reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name shouldn't be a problem as far as user
confusion goes, as Erik's thinkpad-acpi apparently didn't get widespread
use in the Linux ThinkPad community and most hits for thinkpad-acpi in
google point to ibm-acpi anyway.
Erik, if you read this, please consider the reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name
as a compliment to your effort to make ThinkPads more useful to all of us.
