      tty: Ldisc revamp · a352def2
      Alan Cox 提交于
      Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement.  For
      the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of
      the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it
      all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty.
      
      Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code.

      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.

      [PATCH] const struct tty_operations · b68e31d0
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
      structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
      structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
      without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
      tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
      be fixed.
      
      This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
      cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
      extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
      warnings.
      
      53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
      most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
      last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.
