      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.

      [POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it · 0ebfff14
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one.  Because
      there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value
      of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus),
      etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code
      over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later
      in bisecting).
      
      This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt
      tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber
      interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the
      new code now.
      
      For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is
      created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt
      presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match
      any device node that isn't a 8259.  That works fine on pSeries and
      avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source
      controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees.
      
      The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt
      range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node
      (including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help
      porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't
      have a proper interrupt tree.

      [PATCH] 3/5 powerpc: Add platform functions interpreter · 5b9ca526
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This is the platform function interpreter itself along with the backends
      for UniN/U3/U4, mac-io, GPIOs and i2c. It adds the ability to execute
      those do-platform-* scripts in the device-tree (at least for most
      devices for which a backend is provided). This should replace the clock
      spreading hacks properly. It might also have an impact on all sort of
      machines since some of the scripts marked "at init" will now be executed
      on boot (or some other on sleep/wakeup), those will possibly do things
      that the kernel didn't do at all, like setting some values into some i2c
      devices (changing thermal sensor calibration or conversion rate) etc...
      Thus regression testing is MUCH welcome. Also loook for errors in dmesg.
      That's also why I've left rather verbose debugging enabled in this
      version of the patch.
      
      (I do expect some Windtunnel G4s to show some errors as they have an i2c
      clock chip on the PMU bus that uses some primitives that the i2c backend
      doesn't implement yet. I really need users that have one of those
      machine to come back to me so we can get that done right, though the
      errors themselves should be harmless, I suspect the machine might not
      run at full speed).

      [PATCH] 2/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 2 · a28d3af2
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This is the continuation of the previous patch. This one removes the old
      PowerMac i2c drivers (i2c-keywest and i2c-pmac-smu) and replaces them
      both with a single stub driver that uses the new PowerMac low i2c layer.
      
      Now that i2c-keywest is gone, the low-i2c code is extended to support
      interrupt driver transfers. All i2c busses now appear as platform
      devices. Compatibility with existing drivers should be maintained as the
      i2c bus names have been kept identical, except for the SMU bus but in
      that later case, all users has been fixed.
      
      With that patch added, matching a device node to an i2c_adapter becomes
      trivial.

      [PATCH] 1/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 1 · 730745a5
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This is the first part of a rework of the PowerMac i2c code. It
      completely reworks the "low_i2c" layer. It is now more flexible,
      supports KeyWest, SMU and PMU i2c busses, and provides functions to
      match device nodes to i2c busses and adapters.
      
      This patch also extends & fix some bugs in the SMU driver related to i2c
      support and removes the clock spreading hacks from the pmac feature code
      rather than adapting them to the new API since they'll be replaced by
      the platform function code completely in patch 3/5

      [PATCH] powerpc: Unify udbg (#2) · 51d3082f
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the
      merged achitecture. xmon now has a single "back end". The powermac udbg
      stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In
      addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well,
      approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations.
      The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify
      them in a later patch.
      
      For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using
      "btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg
      output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a
      later patch.

      powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc. · 14cf11af
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
      of Kconfig files.  It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
      arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac.  This is enough
      to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
      
      For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
      arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel.  This makes some minor changes
      to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
      
      The boot directory is still not merged.  That's going to be interesting.
