== Linus Walleij linusw == === Highlights === * Pushed pin control fixes for -rc1 and Torvalds pulled them in. * I have a branch for the nVidia Tegra pin control. * Discussing pin control, pinmux ... * Upstreaming the PL022 SPI driver, Mark Brown suggested we move messages queues to the SPI core. It was easy to to so I hacked a v1 and then a v2 based on Grant's suggestions. * Preparing a conference presentation on pin control for the Embedded Linux Conference. This will be used as a basis for public explanation and transparency into the subject as well. === Plans === * Linaro Connect, Android Builders and ELC. * Send patches upstream for -rc2. * dummy pinmuxes akin to dummy regulators, we need to see if this is a good idea or not. * Drive generalization of Nomadik GPIO by using the pinctrl framework. drivers/gpio/gpio-nomadik.c * Test the PL08x patches on the Ericsson Research PB11MPCore and submit platform data for using pl08x DMA on that platform. * Look into other Ux500 stuff in need of mainlining... like - Ux500 clocks - the HWMON stuff. === Issues === * At first I merged the Tegra pin control into my for-next branch, then had second thoughts and removed it because the size scares me. The author thinks I'm lame and claims to lose interest in pin control. Wrote back in private that I feel bad about this. * Ux500 mainlining having second priority. Thanks, Linus Walleij

[PATCH 1/3] procfs: Export next_tgid(), move it to kernel/pid.c

by Anton Vorontsov

We'd like to use this function in the android low memory killer driver, so let's export it. Also, move next_tgid() to kernel/pid.c, so now it lives with the rest of pid library functions and does not depend on procfs. Plus, we may now hide find_ge_pid() from the global namespace. While at it, also turn next_tgid()'s comments into kerneldoc format. There should be no functional changes.

[PATCH 3/3] staging: android: lowmemorykiller: Drop tasklist_lock usage

by Anton Vorontsov

Instead of walking through the whole task list (where we must hold the task list lock for the whole period while we search for the victim), let's take procfs' approach of walking up the tgids (for_each_tgit() walks a pidmap, which internally grabs an rcu lock, but only while it searches for the next tgid).

Just a handy macro. This patch converts procfs user to this new macro, plus android lowmemorykiller driver will use it as well.

=== Highlights === * Re-factored and reworked Android alarm driver so that it can be included into staging. Sent it out to Arve, Google Android team and GregKH for comment. Got some good feedback from Arve, and further reworked some of the patches accordingly. Will hopefully submit to staging early next week. * Reviewed Dmitry's usleep_range changes more carefully and provided feedback. * Got a little bit of time to spend on refactoring (de-recursing) the range-tree implementation in preparation of integrating it into the kernel. * Handled weekly Android-subteam email meeting * Spent the weekend & a bit of the week helping with an internal customer issue. * Spent some time catching up on community emails and issues I've flagged but not handled since the new year, including sending out some debuging patches for RTC issues. * Sent out almost the last of the clocksource_register_khz/hz cleanups for review. * Queued community RTC, clocksource and time cleanups for 3.4 along with my own rtc/time related fixes. Unfortunately tglx has been offline recently, so I've not been able to send them for queuing. * Lots of IBM internal administrative catchup from the new year. === Plans === * Submit android alarm driver to staging. * Integration of range-tree idea into kernel space and fadvise work * Review posix file locking code and determine if range-trees can be used there. * Some minor prep for Connect. === Issues === NA
