      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.

      r8169: sync with vendor's driver · bcf0bf90
      Francois Romieu 提交于
      - add several PCI ID for the PCI-E adapters ;
      - new identification strings ;
      - the RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_ defines have been renamed to closely match the
        out-of-tree driver. It makes the comparison less hairy ;
      - various magic ;
      - the PCI region for the device with PCI ID 0x8136 is guessed.
        Explanation: the in-kernel Linux driver is written to allow MM register
        accesses and avoid the IO tax. The relevant BAR register was found at
        base address 1 for the plain-old PCI 8169. User reported lspci show that
        it is found at base address 2 for the new Gigabit PCI-E 816{8/9}.
        Typically:
        01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.: Unknown device 8168 (rev 01)
                Subsystem: Unknown device 1631:e015

                Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
                Latency: 0, cache line size 20
                Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16
                Region 0: I/O ports at b800 [size=256]
                Region 2: Memory at ff7ff000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
                ^^^^^^^^
        So far I have not received any lspci report for the 0x8136 and
        Realtek's driver do not help: be it under BSD or Linux, their r1000 driver
        include a USE_IO_SPACE #define but the bar address is always hardcoded
        to 1 in the MM case. :o/
      - the 8168 has been reported to require an extra alignment for its receive
        buffers. The status of the 8167 and 8136 is not known in this regard.

      [NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff · 7967168c
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
      going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP).  So
      let's merge them.
      
      They were used to tell the protocol of a packet.  This function has been
      subsumed by the new gso_type field.  This is essentially a set of netdev
      feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
      skb.  As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
      skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
      field.
      
      I've made gso_type a conjunction.  The idea is that you have a base type
      (e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
      For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
      declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.  All TSO packets with CWR set would
      have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
      packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4.  This means that only the CWR packets need
      to be emulated in software.

      [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_pad · 5b057c6b
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
      the existing one is not shared.  More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
      interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
      requeueing.
      
      This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
      it if needed.  Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
      skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
      originally created.
      
      Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
      TCP, etc.).  As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb.  Because
      of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
      it's best if we don't do it.
