      Altix: Initial ACPI support - ROM shadowing. · a2302c68
      John Keller 提交于
      Support a shadowed ROM when running with an ACPI capable PROM.
      
      Define a new dev.resource flag IORESOURCE_ROM_BIOS_COPY to
      describe the case of a BIOS shadowed ROM, which can then
      be used to avoid pci_map_rom() making an unneeded call to
      pci_enable_rom().

      Altix: Add initial ACPI IO support · 8ea6091f
      John Keller 提交于
      First phase in introducing ACPI support to SN.
      In this phase, when running with an ACPI capable PROM,
      the DSDT will define the root busses and all SN nodes
      (SGIHUB, SGITIO). An ACPI bus driver will be registered
      for the node devices, with the acpi_pci_root_driver being
      used for the root busses. An ACPI vendor descriptor is
      now used to pass platform specific information for both
      nodes and busses, eliminating the need for the current
      SAL calls. Also, with ACPI support, SN fixup code is no longer
      needed to initiate the PCI bus scans, as the acpi_pci_root_driver
      does that.
      
      However, to maintain backward compatibility with non-ACPI capable
      PROMs, none of the current 'fixup' code can been deleted, though
      much restructuring has been done. For example, the bulk of the code
      in io_common.c is relocated code that is now common regardless
      of what PROM is running, while io_acpi_init.c and io_init.c contain
      routines specific to an ACPI or non ACPI capable PROM respectively.
      
      A new pci bus fixup platform vector has been created to provide
      a hook for invoking platform specific bus fixup from pcibios_fixup_bus().
      
      The size of io_space[] has been increased to support systems with
      large IO configurations.

      [IA64] bte_unaligned_copy() transfers one extra cache line. · cbf093e8
      Robin Holt 提交于
      When called to do a transfer that has a start offset within the cache
      line which is uneven between source and destination and a length which
      terminates the source of the copy exactly on a cache line, one extra
      line gets copied into a temporary buffer.  This is normally not an issue
      since the buffer is a kernel buffer and only the requested information
      gets copied into the user buffer.
      
      The problem arises when the source ends at the very last physical page
      of memory.  That last cache line does not exist and results in the SHUB
      chip raising an MCA.

      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.

      [IA64-SGI] Silent data corruption caused by XPC V2. · 7682a4c6
      Dean Nelson 提交于
      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] 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.
