      [IA64] remove unused PAL_CALL_IC_OFF · c12fb188
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      Linux maps PAL instructions with an ITR, but uses a DTC for PAL data.
      Section 11.10.2.1.3, "Making PAL Procedures Calls in Physical or Virtual
      Mode," of the SDM (rev 2.2), says we must therefore make all PAL calls
      with PSR.ic = 1 so that Linux can handle any TLB faults.
      
      PAL_CALL_IC_OFF is currently unused, and as long as we use the ITR + DTC
      strategy, we can't use it.  So remove it.  I also removed the code in
      ia64_pal_call_static() that conditionally cleared PSR.ic.

      [IA64] move ioremap/ioremap_nocache under __KERNEL__ · ffc45571
      Aron Griffis 提交于
      I noticed these are declared extern outside of __KERNEL__, but surely
      they wouldn't be available to userland since they're defined in
      ioremap.c.  Am I missing something here?
      
      If I'm right about this, then there's probably a good deal of other
      stuff in io.h that could move inside __KERNEL__, but at least this is
      a start.

      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] msi: refactor and move the msi irq_chip into the arch code · 3b7d1921
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture
      specific details of msi.  So I have moved the resposibility of constructing
      the struct irq_chip to the architectures, and have two architecture specific
      functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq.
      
      For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work.  For
      architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate
      platform code.
      
      With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this
      actually takes less code.
      
      The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h
      to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h

      [PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locks · ef6edc97
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
      regard to spinlocks and rw-locks.  If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
      is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
      yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
      lock (directed yield).
      
      With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
      common code changes.  Powerpc already does this.
      
      With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
      _raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c.  If the lock
      could not be taken cpu_relax is called.  A directed yield is not possible
      because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock.  To be able to
      yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
      for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed.  The new _raw_spin_relax,
      _raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
      insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

      [PATCH] libata: rework legacy handling to remove much of the cruft · 2ec7df04
      Alan Cox 提交于
      Kill host_set->next
      Fix simplex support
      Allow per platform setting of IDE legacy bases
      
      Some of this can be tidied further later on, in particular all the
      legacy port gunge belongs as a PCI quirk/PCI header decode to understand
      the special legacy IDE rules in the PCI spec.
      
      Longer term Jeff also wants to move the request_irq/free_irq out of core
      which will make this even cleaner.
      
      tj: folded in three followup patches - ata_piix-fix, broken-arch-fix
      and fix-new-legacy-handling, and separated per-dev xfermask into
      separate patch preceding this one.  Folded in fixes are...
      
      * ata_piix-fix: fix build failure due to host_set->next removal
      * broken-arch-fix: add missing include/asm-*/libata-portmap.h
      * fix-new-legacy-handling:
      	* In ata_pci_init_legacy_port(), probe_num was incorrectly
                incremented during initialization of the secondary port and
                probe_ent->n_ports was incorrectly fixed to 1.
      
      	* Both legacy ports ended up having the same hard_port_no.
      
      	* When printing port information, both legacy ports printed
      	  the first irq.

      Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent
      data corruption.  On module load, the placement may cause the
      xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages.  DMA transfers are
      done to the start virtual address translated to physical.
      
      This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a
      kmalloc'd buffer.  Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting.  I have
      tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption
      and verified it works.  I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch
      this if a similar situation is encountered.

      [PATCH] make valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() take a pfn · 06c67bef
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical
      memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do
      not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an
      address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap.
      
      There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for
      >= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long
      address:
      
      	static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size);
      
      And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this:
      
      	static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma)
      	{
      		size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start;
      
      		if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size))
      
      So that's not much help either.
      
      This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.
