      netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-3 · 8f15ea42
      Wang Chen 提交于
      We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
      1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
      2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
         netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
      But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
      directly.
      
      This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
      Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
      But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
      I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
      which is max size allowed by vger.

      uli526x: add support for netpoll · 7fa0cba3
      Anton Vorontsov 提交于
      This patch adds netpoll support for the uli526x ethernet driver --
      simply call the interrupt handler for polling.
      
      To do this without disable_irq()/enable_irq() pair we should fully
      protect the handler. Luckily, it's already using irqsave spinlock,
      the only unprotected place is interrupts re-enabling write. It was
      safe to re-enable interrupts without holding the spinlock, but with
      netpoll possibility now it doesn't seem so.
      
      Patch was tested using netconsole and KGDBoE.

      uli526x: fix endianness issues in the setup frame · e284e5c6
      Anton Vorontsov 提交于
      This patch fixes uli526x driver's issues on a PowerPC boards: uli chip
      is unable to receive the packets.
      
      It appears that send_frame_filter prepares the setup frame in the
      endianness unsafe manner. On a big endian machines we should shift
      the address nibble by two bytes.

      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?
