Deleted some unused code that could do bad things on non-x86 platforms. Also fixed some minor formatting errors. Thanks to Al Viro for pointing out the sparse errors.

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.

This "ftdi-elan" module is one half of the "driver" for ELAN's Uxxx series adapters which are USB to PCMCIA CardBus adapters. Currently only the U132 adapter is available and it's module is called "u132-hcd". When the USB hot plug subsystem detects a Uxxx series adapter it should load this module. Upon a successful device probe() the jtag device file interface is created and the status workqueue started up. The jtag device file interface exists for the purpose of updating the firmware in the Uxxx series adapter, but as yet it had never been used. The status workqueue initializes the Uxxx and then sits there polling the Uxxx until a supported PCMCIA CardBus device is detected it will start the command and respond workqueues and then load the module that handles the device. This will initially be only the u132-hcd module. The status workqueue then just polls the Uxxx looking for card ejects. The command and respond workqueues implement a command sequencer for communicating with the firmware on the other side of the FTDI chip in the Uxxx. This "ftdi-elan" module exports some functions to interface with the sequencer. Note that this module is a USB client driver. Note that the "u132-hcd" module is a (cut-down OHCI) host controller. Thus we have a topology with the parent of a host controller being a USB client! This really stresses the USB subsystem semaphore/mutex handling in the module removal.
