It is often desireable to boot a remote processor with different firmware files, depending on the needs of the system at a particular time. This series adds a sysfs interface to the remoteproc core, exposing interfaces to manipulate the remote processor. One interface is the "state" file which performs the same function as the one in debugfs (which is removed later in the series). The other is a "firmware" file which allows retrieval of the name of the running firmware, and allows a new firmware to be loaded when written, as long as the remote processor is currently stopped. Some groundwork must be laid first, changing the storage mechanism of the firmware name such that it can be rewritten easily, then that is wired up to the new sysfs interface. This series is based on v4.9-rc1 Changes in v2: Use a kmalloc'd copy of the firmware name instead of having a fixed length array in struct rproc New patch to allow access to firmware loading from remoteproc_sysfs.c Have firmware_store perform the necessary steps inline. Use sysfs_streq when dealing with writes to sysfs files Matt Redfearn (4): remoteproc: Keep local copy of firmware name remoteproc: Make rproc_add_virtio_devices non-static remoteproc: Add a sysfs interface for firmware and state remoteproc: debugfs: Remove state entry which is duplicated is sysfs Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-remoteproc | 50 ++++++++ drivers/remoteproc/Makefile | 1 + drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_core.c | 36 +++--- drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_debugfs.c | 71 ----------- drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_internal.h | 6 + drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_sysfs.c | 155 +++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/remoteproc.h | 2 +- 7 files changed, 233 insertions(+), 88 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-remoteproc create mode 100644 drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_sysfs.c -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-remoteproc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
