      ACPI: video: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register · 519ab5f2
      Yu Luming 提交于
      This patch set adds generic abstract layer support for acpi video driver to
      have generic user interface to control backlight and output switch control by
      leveraging the existing backlight sysfs class driver, and by adding a new
      video output sysfs class driver.
      
      This patch:
      
      Add dev argument for backlight_device_register to link the class device to
      real device object.  The platform specific driver should find a way to get the
      real device object for their video device.

      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] Linux Kernel Dump Test Module · 8bb31b9d
      Ankita Garg 提交于
      A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism.  This module uses
      jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points.  At different crash
      points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(),
      panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow.  The user can
      activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the
      time of module insertion.  Please see the file header for usage
      information.  The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by
      Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>.
      
      This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the
      context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements
      all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of
      tasklet_action().

      [PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure · ba52de12
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode.  Filesystems that want
      to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
      routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
      
      Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
      values for i_blksize.

      [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private · 8e18e294
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
      on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
      in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
      (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
      save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
      disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
      in the VFS inode structure).
      
      This patch:
      
      The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
      which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
      using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
      a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
      cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
      the union will actually be used.
