      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.

      [PATCH] UHCI: Improve handling of iso TDs · b81d3436
      Alan Stern 提交于
      The uhci-hcd driver is fairly lax about the way it handles isochronous
      transfers.  This patch (as579) improves it in three respects:
      
      	TDs for a new URB aren't added to the schedule until all of
      	them have been allocated.  This way there's no risk of the
      	controller executing some of them when an allocation fails.
      
      	TDs for an unlinked URB are removed from the schedule as soon
      	as the URB is unlinked, rather than waiting until the URB is
      	given back.  This way there's no risk of the controller still
      	executing a TD after the URB completes.
      
      	The urb->error_count values are now reported correctly.
      	Although since they aren't used in any drivers except for
      	debug messages in the system log, probably nobody cares.

      [PATCH] USB: UHCI: Split apart the physical and logical framelist arrays · a1d59ce8
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as563) splits the physical and logical framelist arrays in
      uhci-hcd into two separate pieces.  This will allow slightly better memory
      utilization, since each piece is no larger than a single page whereas
      before the whole thing was a little bigger than two pages.  It also allows
      the logical array to be allocated in non-DMA-coherent memory.

      [PATCH] USB: UHCI: Remove unused fields and unneeded tests for NULL · 8b4cd421
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as562) removes from the uhci-hcd driver a few unused fields
      and some unnecessary tests against NULL and assignments to NULL.  In fact
      it wasn't until fairly recently that the tests became unnecessary.
      Before last winter it was possible that the driver's stop() routine would
      get called even if the start() routine returned an error, but now that
      can't happen.  Hence there's no longer any need to check for partial
      initialization.
