      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      由 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.

      [SCSI] lpfc 8.1.1 : Add polled-mode support · 875fbdfe
      由 James.Smart@Emulex.Com 提交于 
      - Add functionality to run in polled mode only. Includes run time
  attribute to enable mode.
- Enable runtime writable hba settings for coallescing and delay parameters

Customers have requested a mode in the driver to run strictly polled.
This is generally to support an environment where the server is extremely
loaded and is looking to reclaim some cpu cycles from adapter interrupt
handling.

This patch adds a new "poll" attribute, and the following behavior:

if value is 0 (default):
  The driver uses the normal method for i/o completion. It uses the
  firmware feature of interrupt coalesing. The firmware allows a
  minimum number of i/o completions before an interrupt, or a maximum
  time delay between interrupts.  By default, the driver sets these
  to no delay (disabled) or 1 i/o - meaning coalescing is disabled.

  Attributes were provided to change the coalescing values, but it was
  a module-load time only and global across all adapters.
  This patch allows them to be writable on a per-adapter basis.

if value is 1 :
  Interrupts are left enabled, expecting that the user has tuned the
  interrupt coalescing values. When this setting is enabled, the driver
  will attempt to service completed i/o whenever new i/o is submitted
  to the adapter. If the coalescing values are large, and the i/o
  generation rate steady, an interrupt will be avoided by servicing
  completed i/o prior to the coalescing thresholds kicking in. However,
  if the i/o completion load is high enough or i/o generation slow, the
  coalescion values will ensure that completed i/o is serviced in a timely
  fashion.

if value is 3 :
  Turns off FCP i/o interrupts altogether. The coalescing values now have
  no effect. A new attribute "poll_tmo" (default 10ms) exists to set
  the polling interval for i/o completion. When this setting is enabled,
  the driver will attempt to service completed i/o and restart the
  interval timer whenever new i/o is submitted. This behavior allows for
  servicing of completed i/o sooner than the interval timer, but ensures
  that if no i/o is being issued, then the interval timer will kick in
  to service the outstanding i/o.
