      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.

      [IA64] Cleanup use of various #defines related to nodes · 24ee0a6d
      Jack Steiner 提交于
      Some of the SN code & #defines related to compact nodes & IO discovery
      have gotten stale over the years. This patch attempts to clean them up.
      Some of the various SN MAX_xxx #defines were also unclear & misused.
      
      The primary changes are:
      
      	- use MAX_NUMNODES. This is the generic linux #define for the number
      	  of nodes that are known to the generic kernel. Arrays & loops
      	  for constructs that are 1:1 with linux-defined nodes should
      	  use the linux #define - not an SN equivalent.
      
      	- use MAX_COMPACT_NODES for MAX_NUMNODES + NUM_TIOS. This is the
      	  number of nodes in the SSI system. Compact nodes are a hack to
      	  get around the IA64 architectural limit of 256 nodes. Large SGI
      	  systems have more than 256 nodes. When we upgrade to ACPI3.0,
      	  I _hope_ that all nodes will be real nodes that are known to
      	  the generic kernel. That will allow us to delete the notion
      	  of "compact nodes".
      
      	- add MAX_NUMALINK_NODES for the total number of nodes that
      	  are in the numalink domain - all partitions.
      
      	- simplified (understandable) scan_for_ionodes()
      
      	- small amount of cleanup related to cnodes

      [IA64] Altix system controller event handling · 67639deb
      Greg Howard 提交于
      The following is an update of the patch I sent yesterday
      (3/9/05) incorporating suggestions from Christoph Hellwig and
      Andreas Schwab.  It allows Altix and Altix-like systems to
      handle environmental events generated by the system controllers,
      and should apply on top of Jack Steiner's patch of 3/1/05 ("New
      chipset support for SN platform") and Mark Goodwin's patch of
      3/8/05 ("Altix SN topology support for new chipsets and pci
      topology").

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
