      uli526x: initialize the hardware prior to requesting interrupts · afd8e399
      Anton Vorontsov 提交于
      The firmware on MPC8610HPCD boards enables ULI ethernet and leaves it
      in some funky state before booting Linux. For drivers, it's always good
      idea to (re)initialize the hardware prior to requesting interrupts.
      
      This patch fixes the following oops:

      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.

      [netdrvr] add 'uli526x' driver (a tulip clone) · 4689ced9
      Peer Chen 提交于
      We want to extract our LAN card driver from tulip core driver and
      make a new file uli526x.c at tulip folder, because we have added
      some ethtool interface support and non-eprom support in our driver
      and may be other change in the futher.
      
      If our controllers support are still contained in the tulip core
      driver, I think it'll increase the complexity of maintenance, you
      know, tulip core driver include several files and support so many
      other controllers.  Furthermore, I tested the newest kernel 2.6.12
      and I found the tulip driver can not work on our lan controller, and
      I no time to debug it, so I aspired want to make a single uli526x.c
      file just for our controllers.  Could you help us remove the ULi
      m5261/m5263 lan controller support from tulip core driver and add
      the new single uli526x.c file for us?
