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.

Manually resolved conflicts in drivers/net/ixgb/ixgb_main.c and

commit 84fa7933a33f806bbbaae6775e87459b1ec584c0 that just happened to be
next to unrelated changes in this update.

Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (for outgoing packets, whose
checksum still needs to be completed) and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (for
incoming packets, device supplied full checksum).
Patch originally from Herbert Xu, updated by myself for 2.6.18-rc3.

Disable TX status deferral (EMACx_MR[MWSW=001]) in half-duplex mode.
I have two reports when EMAC stops transmitting when connected to a
hub. TX ring debug printouts show complete mess when this happens,
probably hardware collision handling doesn't work quite well in this
mode.
This is relevant only for SoCs with EMAC4 core (440GX, 440SP, 440SPe).
Tested on 440GX.

This patch fixes graceful stop timeout handling in PPC4xx EMAC driver.
Currently, when we stop TX/RX channels we just do some number of loops
without relying on actual spent time. This has finally bitten me on
one of our systems (heavy network traffic during start up, RX channel
is stopped several times to configure multicast list).
Graceful channel stop can take up to 1 frame time, so I've added
device specific timeout counter which depends on current link speed
and calls to udelay() to really wait required amount of time before
giving up.

For some reason, the hardware designers made the polarity of one bit
in the 440SPe's PHY interface register the opposite of all other PPC
440 chips. To handle this, abstract our access to this bit and do the
right thing based on the configured CPU type.

This patch replaces current PowerPC 4xx EMAC driver with
new, re-written from the scratch version. This patch is quite big
(~234K) because there is virtualy 0% of common code between old and
new version.
New driver uses NAPI, it solves stability problems under heavy packet
load and low memory, corrects chip register access and fixes numerous
small bugs I don't even remember now.
This patch has been tested on all supported in 2.6 PPC 4xx boards.
It's been used in production for almost a year now on custom
4xx hardware. PPC32 specific parts are already upstream.
Patch was acked by the current EMAC driver maintainer (Matt Porter). I
will be maintaining this new version.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
