      Input: ads7846 - fix unsafe disable_irq · 3f3e7c6e
      Ben Nizette 提交于
      The use of disable_irq inside the handler for the interrupt being
      disabled has always been dangerous.  disable_irq should wait for that
      handler to complete before returning -> deadlock.
      
      For some reason this wasn't actually the case until 3aa551c9 was merged
      but since this time, the ads7846 driver has deadlocked the system on
      first interrupt.
      
      Convert the driver to use the handler-safe _nosync variant.

      hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes · ca109491
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context
      
      This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by
      reducing the number of callback modes to 1.
      
      This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq
      context.
      
      I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel
      and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in
      net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code.
      
      Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs
      disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a
      periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time)
      then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the
      fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer
      granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously
      this needs a fix.
      
      Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core
      test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any
      makes me certain :-)

      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.
