[PATCH] Add include/linux/freezer.h and move definitions from sched.h

2006-12-07T16:39:27+00:00

Move process freezing functions from include/linux/sched.h to freezer.h, so
that modifications to the freezer or the kernel configuration don't require
recompiling just about everything.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

[ARM] 3727/1: fix ucb initialization on collie

2006-07-11T21:54:15+00:00

Patch from Pavel Machek

From: Dirk Opfer 

Fix ucb initialization on collie. Wrong frequency was used and that
led to things not working quite correctly. (I had to actually disable
checks in my tree to get it to boot). It now includes all the
neccessary parts to get it to compile :-).

[ARM] fix drivers/mfd/ucb1x00-core.c IRQ probing bug

2006-06-26T14:26:13+00:00

While reviewing the IRQ autoprobing code i found the attached buglet.
probe_irq_on()/off() calls must always be in pairs, because the generic IRQ
code uses a global semaphore to serialize all autoprobing activites.
(which does make sense) The ARM code's probe_irq_*() implementation does
not do this, but if this driver is ever used on another platform, this bug
might bite.

(It probably does not trigger in practice, because a zero probing mask
returned should be rare - but still.)

[PATCH] show MCP menu only on ARCH_SA1100

2006-03-24T15:33:28+00:00

On architectures like i386, the "Multimedia Capabilities Port drivers" menu is
visible, but it can't be visited since it contains nothing usable for
!ARCH_SA1100.

This patch therefore shows this menu only on ARCH_SA1100.
