      [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip · d1bef4ed
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
      various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
      functionality.
      
      While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
      generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
      smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
      the new 'irq chip' abstraction.
      
      The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
      driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
      straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
      (level/edge/etc.) type of details.
      
      This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
      architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
      The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
      converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.
      
      As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
      (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.
      
      The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
      and more consolidation between architectures.
      
      We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
      layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.
      
      This patch:
      
      rename desc->handler to desc->chip.
      
      Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
      both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
      large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
      truly is.
      
      I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
      desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
      frequently.
      
      So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
      via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.
      
      This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
      remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
      without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

      [POWERPC] MSI abstraction · 204face4
      Jake Moilanen 提交于
      Instead of trying to make PPC64 MSI fit in a Intel-centric MSI layer, a
      simple short-term solution is to hook the pci_{en/dis}able_msi() calls
      and make a machdep call.
      
      The rest of the MSI functions are superfluous for what is needed at this
      time.  Many of which can have machdep calls added as needed.
      
      Ben and Michael Ellerman are looking into rewrite the MSI layer to be
      more generic.  However, in the meantime this works as a interim
      solution.

      [PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversions · 394e3902
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
      the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all.  The correct way of doing this
      is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
      
      This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS.  I found very
      few instances of this bug, if any.  But the patch converts lots of open-coded
      test to use the preferred helper macros.

      powerpc: Implement accurate task and CPU time accounting · c6622f63
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit
      powerpc kernels.  Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a
      task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at
      the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to
      the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode.  We
      also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts
      accurately.  This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.  If
      that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before.
      
      To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor
      utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase
      on other machines on
      
      * each entry to the kernel from usermode
      * each exit to usermode
      * transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq
        context in kernel mode
      * context switches.
      
      On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also
      read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and
      context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by
      the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time).  Unfortunately,
      since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to
      accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate
      steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time
      between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle
      loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment.
      
      This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the
      generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers,
      i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc.
      
      This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and
      userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to
      userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(),
      times(), etc.  Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in
      timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a
      second) when reported to userspace.  Some precision is therefore lost
      but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal
      accumulation is at full precision.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACA · 3356bb9f
      David Gibson 提交于
      At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries
      hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level
      per-cpu structure.  This doesn't have to be so, the patch below
      removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures.
      
      This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel
      memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and
      hypervisor portions of every PACA.  On the other hand it means an
      extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.
      
      The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca
      address to a local variable for no particular reason.

      [PATCH] irqpoll · 200803df
      Alan Cox 提交于
      Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options.  Its effectiveness
      varies we've found in the Fedora case.  Quite a few systems with misdescribed
      IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll.  It also fixes up the VIA systems
      although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default
      as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically).
      
      A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause
      an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for.  In those cases it
      doesn't help.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
