A pointer to a probe callback is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded.  Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.

An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.

The remove() callback in platform drivers should return int in
accordance to the definition of the platform_driver structure.
However, the SGI-specific WD93 SCSI controller driver defines
the callback as a void function, which causes the following
compilation warning:

drivers/scsi/sgiwd93.c:314: warning: initialization from
incompatible pointer type

This patch fixes the warning by changing the return type of
the remove() callback to what the core driver code requires.

SGI machines with WD33C93 allow usage of burst mode DMA, which increases
performance noticable. To make this selectable by the sgiwd93 stub,
setting the values for no_sync, fast and dma_mode has been moved to the
individual platform stubs.

SGI IP28 machines would need special treatment (enable adding addtional
wait states) when accessing memory uncached. To avoid this pain I
changed the driver to use only cached access to memory.

1) sgiwd93 used to switch off asynchronous mode on the wd33c93, discarding
   any "nosync"-requests from the commandline.
   But we need to allow "nosync"-requests for selected devices, for example
   the Pioneer DVD305S.
   (For the curious: this device accepts the SDTR from wd33c93 and success-
   fully sends inquiry data in sync mode, but after the data phase in the
   inquiry command does an unexpected disconnect, seemingly sending no
   "status" or "command complete". Forcing async transfers makes it work
   together flawlessly with the wd33c93. Of course, preferable would be, to
   implement wd33c93's "resume command" stuff, but that probably will not
   come soon.)

2) Maximize benefit from the preceding Fast SCSI patch for wd33c93 by passing
   the higher input-clock frequency explicitely. To be applied after the
   mentioned wd33c93 patch.

<title>IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers</title>
<updated>2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00</updated>

<id>7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
