      [PATCH] b44: fix eeprom endianess issue · 6f627683
      Michael Buesch 提交于
      This fixes eeprom read on big-endian architectures.
      
      readw returns the data in CPU order.  With cpu_to_le16 we convert it to little
      endian, because "ptr" is a pointer to a _byte_ arrray.  See the cast above.  A
      byte array is little endian.
      
      The bug is:
      
      Reading u16 values with readw, casting them into an u8 array and accessing
      this u8 array as an u8 (byte) array.  The correct fix is to swap the
      CPU-ordering value returned by readw into little endian, as the u8 array is
      little endian.
      
      This compiles to nothing on little endian hardware (so it does not change b44
      code on LE hardware), but _fixes_ code on BE hardware.

      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.

      [netdrvr] b44: handle excessive multicast groups · 2f614fe0
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      If there are more than B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE groups in the dev->mc_list,
      it will only listen to the first B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE that it sees.
      
      This change makes the driver go into RXCONFIG_ALLMULTI mode if there
      are more than B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE groups being subscribed to, similar
      to other network drivers.
