      [SPARC64]: Virtualize IRQ numbers. · 8047e247
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Inspired by PowerPC XICS interrupt support code.
      
      All IRQs are virtualized in order to keep NR_IRQS from needing
      to be too large.  Interrupts on sparc64 are arbitrary 11-bit
      values, but we don't need to define NR_IRQS to 2048 if we
      virtualize the IRQs.
      
      As PCI and SBUS controller drivers build device IRQs, we divy
      out virtual IRQ numbers incrementally starting at 1.  Zero is
      a special virtual IRQ used for the timer interrupt.
      
      So device drivers all see virtual IRQs, and all the normal
      interfaces such as request_irq(), enable_irq(), etc. translate
      that into a real IRQ number in order to configure the IRQ.
      
      At this point knowledge of the struct ino_bucket is almost
      entirely contained within arch/sparc64/kernel/irq.c  There are
      a few small bits in the PCI controller drivers that need to
      be swept away before we can remove ino_bucket's definition
      out of asm-sparc64/irq.h and privately into kernel/irq.c

      [SPARC64]: Kill ino_bucket->pil · 37cdcd9e
      David S. Miller 提交于
      And reuse that struct member for virt_irq, which will
      be used in future changesets for the implementation of
      mapping between real and virtual IRQ numbers.
      
      This nicely kills off a ton of SBUS and PCI controller
      PIL assignment code which is no longer necessary.

      [SPARC64]: bp->pil can never be zero · 6a76267f
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Only pil0_dummy_bucket had a pil of zero and we just killed that
      off, so we can delete all special case code that used bp->pil==0
      as a way to identify a dummy bucket.

      [SPARC64]: Send all device interrupts via one PIL. · fd0504c3
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This is the first in a series of cleanups that will hopefully
      allow a seamless attempt at using the generic IRQ handling
      infrastructure in the Linux kernel.
      
      Define PIL_DEVICE_IRQ and vector all device interrupts through
      there.
      
      Get rid of the ugly pil0_dummy_{bucket,desc}, instead vector
      the timer interrupt directly to a specific handler since the
      timer interrupt is the only event that will be signaled on
      PIL 14.
      
      The irq_worklist is now in the per-cpu trap_block[].

      Both csum_partial() and the csum_partial_copy*() family of routines
      forget to do a final fold on the computed checksum value on sparc64.
      So do the standard Sparc "add + set condition codes, add carry"
      sequence, then make sure the high 32-bits of the return value are
      clear.

      [SPARC64]: Respect gfp_t argument to dma_alloc_coherent(). · 42f14237
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Using asm-generic/dma-mapping.h does not work because pushing
      the call down to pci_alloc_coherent() causes the gfp_t argument
      of dma_alloc_coherent() to be ignored.
      
      Fix this by implementing things directly, and adding a gfp_t
      argument we can use in the internal call down to the PCI DMA
      implementation of pci_alloc_coherent().
      
      This fixes massive memory corruption when using the sound driver
      layer, which passes things like __GFP_COMP down into these
      routines and (correctly) expects that to work.

      [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes · e041c683
      Alan Stern 提交于
      The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
      protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
      chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:
      
          http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
      
      We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
      classes:
      
      	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
      	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
      
      	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
      	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
      
      We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
      this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
      notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
      really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
      used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
      registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
      explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
      kernel/sys.c.
      
      With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
      links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
      entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
      guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
      idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
      blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
      handle these things in their own way.)
      
      There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
      atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
      a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
      callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
      entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
      had to be changed to avoid it.)
      
      Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
      spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
      entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
      less frequent that calling a chain.
      
      Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
      of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
      
        ATOMIC CHAINS
        -------------
      arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
      arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
      arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
      arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:		die_chain
      drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:	xaction_notifier_list
      kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
      kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
      net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
      net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
      net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
      net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
      net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
      net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
      net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain
      
        BLOCKING CHAINS
        ---------------
      arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
      arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
      drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
      drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
      drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
      kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
      kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
      kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
      kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
      kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
      net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
      net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
      net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain
      
      It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
      please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
      gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
      used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
      (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
      atomic.)
      
      The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
      material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
      Morton.
