      IB/ipath: Lock and always use shadow copies of GPIO register · 17b2eb9f
      Michael Albaugh 提交于
      The new LED blinking interface adds more contention for the
      unprotected GPIO pins that were already shared, though not commonly at
      the same time.  We add locks to the accesses to these pins so that
      Read-Modify-Write is now safe.  Some of these locks are added at
      interrupt context, so we shadow the registers which drive and inspect
      these pins to avoid the mmio read/writes.  This mitigates the effects
      of the locks and hastens us through the interrupt.
      
      Add locking and always use shadows for registers controlling GPIO pins
      (ExtCtrl and GPIOout). The use of shadows implies doing less I/O,
      which can make I2C operation too fast on some platforms. An explicit
      udelay(1) in SCL manipulation fixes that.

      IB/ipath: Support blinking LEDs with an led_override file · 82466f00
      Michael Albaugh 提交于
      When we want to find an InfiniPath HCA in a rack of nodes, it is often
      expeditious to blink the status LEDs via a userspace /sys file.
      
      A write-only led_override "file" is published per device. Writes to
      this file are interpreted as (string form) numbers, and the resulting
      value sent to ipath_set_led_override(). The upper eight bits are
      interpretted as a 4.4 fixed-point "frequency in Hertz", and the bottom
      two 4-bit values are alternately (D0..3, then D4..7) used by the
      board-specific LED-setting function to override the normal state.

      IB/ipath: Shadow the gpio_mask register · 8f140b40
      Arthur Jones 提交于
      Once upon a time, GPIO interrupts were rare.  But then a chip bug in
      the waldo series forced the use of a GPIO interrupt to signal packet
      reception.  This greatly increased the frequency of GPIO interrupts
      which have the gpio_mask bits set on the waldo chips.  Other bits in
      the gpio_status register are used for I2C clock and data lines, these
      bits are usually on.  An "unlikely" annotation leftover from the old
      days was improperly applied to these bits, and an unnecessary chip
      mmio read was being accessed in the interrupt fast path on waldo.
      
      Remove the stagnant unlikely annotation in the interrupt handler and
      keep a shadow copy of the gpio_mask register to avoid the slow mmio
      read when testing for interruptable GPIO bits.

      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.
