      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.

      [SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: remove local_attached flag · f4ad7b58
      James Bottomley 提交于
      This flag denotes local attachment of the phy.  There are two problems
      with it:
      
      1) It's actually redundant ... you can get the same information simply
      by seeing whether a host is the phys parent
      2) we condition a lot of phy parameters on it on the false assumption
      that we can only control local phys.  I'm wiring up phy resets in the
      aic94xx now, and it will be able to reset non-local phys as well.
      
      I fixed 2) by moving the local check into the reset and stats function
      of the mptsas, since that seems to be the only HBA that can't
      (currently) control non-local phys.

      [SCSI] mptsas: wide port support · 547f9a21
      Eric Moore 提交于
      * Wide port support added - using James Bottomley's new SAS wide port API.
      (There is a known problem in sas transport layer reported yesterday to
      James. The Kobject dev.bus_ids for end devices are not unique across
      expanders. I have added a work around in this patch, where I asigning
      an unique port identifier for every port within the host - this solves
      the problem, but I expect a fix from James in the sas transport).
      
      * Adding target_alloc and target_destroy entry points, and moving code over
      from the slave entry points.
      
      * The renaming of some mptscsih_xxx functions declared in mptsas.c,
      to mptsas_xxx.
      
      * Target Reset moved from slave_destroy to hotplug work thread
      handling (with regard to device removal). Also inhibit IO to end device
      while device is being broken down . Talked to James Smart about this
      at Linux Expo (with questions of how the fc transport handles this).
      
      * Cleaning up the kzalloc's, and kfree's

      [SPARC]: Kill __irq_itoa(). · c6387a48
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This ugly hack was long overdue to die.
      
      It was a way to print out Sparc interrupts in a more freindly format,
      since IRQ numbers were arbitrary opaque 32-bit integers which vectored
      into PIL levels.  These 32-bit integers were not necessarily in the
      0-->NR_IRQS range, but the PILs they vectored to were.
      
      The idea now is that we will increase NR_IRQS a little bit and use a
      virtual<-->real IRQ number mapping scheme similar to PowerPC.
      
      That makes this IRQ printing hack irrelevant, and furthermore only a
      handful of drivers actually used __irq_itoa() making it even less
      useful.
