The array of attribute passed to sysfs_create_group() must be
NULL-terminated.

The sysfs entries are created before the start of the modem state machine
to avoid to stop it in case of errors in sysfs creation.  Also
{destroy,create}_fs_entries are removed as they do nothing.

The speedtouch modem setup code was reverse engineered many years
ago from a prehistoric windows driver. Less ancient windows drivers,
even those from a few years ago, perform extra initialization steps
which this patch adds to the linux driver.  David Woodhouse observed
that this initialization along with the firmware bin/sachu3/zzzlp2.eni
from the driver at
http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/downloads/330/301/UK3012%20Extended.zip
improves line sync speeds by about 20%.  He provided the original
patch, which I've modified to use symbolic names (BMaxDSL, ModemMode,
ModemOption) rather than magic numbers.  These names may not seem like
much of an improvement (after all, what is "ModemOption" exactly?),
but they do have one big advantage: they are the names used in the
windows registry.  I've made them available as module parameters.
Thanks are due to Aurelio Arroyo, who noticed the relationship
between these magic numbers and the entries in Phonebook.ini.

Hi,

this patch does some cosmetic changes :
- dump firwmare version as soon as possible and export it on sysfs
- hint about wrong cmv/dsp
- Display a message to warn user when the modem is ready : it can help
  people to detect problems on the line without debug trace
- Fix wrong indent
- display modem type (pots/isdn)
- increase version number

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

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5'/>
<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.
