      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      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.

      [PATCH] HPET: handle multiple ACPI EXTENDED_IRQ resources · be5efffb
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      When the _CRS for a single HPET contains multiple EXTENDED_IRQ resources,
      we overwrote hdp->hd_nirqs every time we found one.
      
      So the driver worked when all the IRQs were described in a single
      EXTENDED_IRQ resource, but failed when multiple resources were used.
      (Strictly speaking, I think the latter is actually more correct, but both
      styles have been used.)
      
      Someday we should remove all the ACPI stuff from hpet.c and use PNP driver
      registration instead.  But currently PNP_MAX_IRQ is 2, and HPETs often have
      more IRQs.  Hint, hint, Adam :-)

      [ACPI] ACPICA 20050930 · 50eca3eb
      Bob Moore 提交于
      Completed a major overhaul of the Resource Manager code -
      specifically, optimizations in the area of the AML/internal
      resource conversion code. The code has been optimized to
      simplify and eliminate duplicated code, CPU stack use has
      been decreased by optimizing function parameters and local
      variables, and naming conventions across the manager have
      been standardized for clarity and ease of maintenance (this
      includes function, parameter, variable, and struct/typedef
      names.)
      
      All Resource Manager dispatch and information tables have
      been moved to a single location for clarity and ease of
      maintenance. One new file was created, named "rsinfo.c".
      
      The ACPI return macros (return_ACPI_STATUS, etc.) have
      been modified to guarantee that the argument is
      not evaluated twice, making them less prone to macro
      side-effects. However, since there exists the possibility
      of additional stack use if a particular compiler cannot
      optimize them (such as in the debug generation case),
      the original macros are optionally available.  Note that
      some invocations of the return_VALUE macro may now cause
      size mismatch warnings; the return_UINT8 and return_UINT32
      macros are provided to eliminate these. (From Randy Dunlap)
      
      Implemented a new mechanism to enable debug tracing for
      individual control methods. A new external interface,
      acpi_debug_trace(), is provided to enable this mechanism. The
      intent is to allow the host OS to easily enable and disable
      tracing for problematic control methods. This interface
      can be easily exposed to a user or debugger interface if
      desired. See the file psxface.c for details.
      
      acpi_ut_callocate() will now return a valid pointer if a
      length of zero is specified - a length of one is used
      and a warning is issued. This matches the behavior of
      acpi_ut_allocate().

      [PATCH] Fix mmap() of /dev/hpet · 609725f8
      Keir Fraser 提交于
      The address passed to io_remap_pfn_range() in hpet_mmap() does not need to
      be converted using __pa(): it is already a physical address.  This bug was
      found and the patch suggested by Clay Harris.
      
      I introduced this particular bug when making io_remap_pfn_range changes a
      few months ago.  In fact mmap()ing /dev/hpet has *never* previously worked:
      before my changes __pa() was being executed on an ioremap()ed virtual
      address, which is also invalid.

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
