      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      由 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] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent" · 312c004d
      由 Kay Sievers 提交于 
      Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling
real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.

      [PATCH] merge kobject_uevent and kobject_hotplug · 5f123fbd
      由 Kay Sievers 提交于 
      The distinction between hotplug and uevent does not make sense these
days, netlink events are the default.

udev depends entirely on netlink uevents. Only during early boot and
in initramfs, /sbin/hotplug is needed. So merge the two functions and
provide only one interface without all the options.

The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots
recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for
subsystem specific events.
Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to
notify about changes than sending events through the core.
The uevents should only be used for driver core related requests to
userspace now.

      [SCSI] ipr: Driver initialization fix for kexec/kdump · ce155cce
      由 brking@us.ibm.com 提交于 
      When kexec booting a kernel when the previous kernel did not
call ipr's shutdown method, the ipr adapter does not get
properly initialized, which can result in the ipr adapter
completing commands issued by the previous kernel. Fix ipr
to detect this scenario by reading the adapter's interrupt
mask register and the microprocessor interrupt register.
If the interrupt mask register indicates that interrupts
are enabled or the reset alert bit is set when the card is
probed, this means the card is in an unknown state and we
hard reset the card.
