      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] crash in aty128_set_lcd_enable() on PowerBook · c3760ae1

      Current Linus tree crashes in aty128_set_lcd_enable() because par->pdev

      - info->fix was assigned twice.
      
      - par->vram_size is assigned in aty128_probe(), no need to redo it again
        in aty128_init()
      
      - register_framebuffer() uses uninitialized struct members, move it past
        par->pdev assignment and past aty128_bl_init().

      [PATCH] powermac: More powermac backlight fixes · 4b755999
      Michael Hanselmann 提交于
      This patch fixes several problems:
      - The legacy backlight value might be set at interrupt time. Introduced
        a worker to prevent it from directly calling the backlight code.
      - via-pmu allows the backlight to be grabbed, in which case we need to
        prevent other kernel code from changing the brightness.
      - Don't send PMU requests in via-pmu-backlight when the machine is about
        to sleep or waking up.
      - More Kconfig fixes.

      [PATCH] radeonfb sleep fixes · 994aad25
      Volker Braun 提交于
      Many IBM Thinkpad T4* models and some R* and X* with radeon video cards draw
      too much power when suspended to RAM, reducing drastically the battery
      lifetime.  The solution is to enable suspend-to-D2 on these machines.  They
      are whitelisted through their subsystem vendor/device ID.  This fixes
      http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022
      
      The patch introduces a framework to alter the pm_mode and reinit_func fields
      of the radeonfb_info structure based on a whitelist.  This should facilitate
      future hardware-dependent workarounds.  The workaround for the Samsung P35
      that is already in the radeonfb code has been rewritten using this framework.
      
      The behavior can be overridden with module options:
      
      i)  video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1
          enable suspend-to-D2 also on non-whitelisted machines (useful for
          testing new notebook models),
      
      ii) video=radeonfb:ignore_devlist=1
          Disable checking the whitelist and do not apply any workarounds.
