      x86: refactor x86_quirks support · 8e6dafd6
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Impact: cleanup
      
      Make x86_quirks support more transparent. The highlevel
      methods are now named:
      
        extern void x86_quirk_pre_intr_init(void);
        extern void x86_quirk_intr_init(void);
      
        extern void x86_quirk_trap_init(void);
      
        extern void x86_quirk_pre_time_init(void);
        extern void x86_quirk_time_init(void);
      
      This makes it clear that if some platform extension has to
      do something here that it is considered ... weird, and is
      discouraged.
      
      Also remove arch_hooks.h and move it into setup.h (and other
      header files where appropriate).

      x86: make x86_32 use tlb_64.c · 02cf94c3
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: less contention when issuing invalidate IPI, cleanup
      
      Make x86_32 use the same tlb code as 64bit.  The 64bit code uses
      multiple IPI vectors for tlb shootdown to reduce contention.  This
      patch makes x86_32 allocate the same 8 IPIs as x86_64 and share the
      code paths.
      
      Note that the usage of asmlinkage is inconsistent for x86_32 and 64
      and calls for further cleanup.  This has been noted with a FIXME
      comment in tlb_64.c.

      x86: fix lguest used_vectors breakage, -v2 · b77b881f
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      Impact: fix lguest, clean up
      
      32-bit lguest used used_vectors to record vectors, but that model of
      allocating vectors changed and got broken, after we changed vector
      allocation to a per_cpu array.
      
      Try enable that for 64bit, and the array is used for all vectors that
      are not managed by vector_irq per_cpu array.
      
      Also kill system_vectors[], that is now a duplication of the
      used_vectors bitmap.

      sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes · 0b8f1efa
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      Impact: new feature
      
      Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
      NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
      larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.
      
      To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
      irq_desc pointers.
      
      When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
      this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
      request_irq()).
      
      This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
      uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

      [PATCH] genirq: do not mask interrupts by default · 76d21601
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Never mask interrupts immediately upon request.  Disabling interrupts in
      high-performance codepaths is rare, and on the other hand this change could
      recover lost edges (or even other types of lost interrupts) by conservatively
      only masking interrupts after they happen.  (NOTE: with this change the
      highlevel irq-disable code still soft-disables this IRQ line - and if such an
      interrupt happens then the IRQ flow handler keeps the IRQ masked.)
      
      Mark i8529A controllers as 'never loses an edge'.

      Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global).  Update
      the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the
      lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver.  The assignement of
      timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the
      compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook()
      
      Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast

      No changes to existing functionality.

      [PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation · d3561b7f
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be
      replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native
      operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT.
      
      This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized
      instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure.  Currently these are
      function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops
      structure with their own variants.
      
      All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific
      register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier.
      
      And:
      
      +From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>
      
      The paravirt ops introduce a 'weak' attribute onto memory_setup().
      Code ordering leads to the following warnings on x86:
      
          arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:651: warning: weak declaration of
                      `memory_setup' after first use results in unspecified behavior

      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.
