      RTC: Remove UIE emulation · 042620a0
      John Stultz 提交于
      Since we provide UIE interrupts via a rtc_timer, the old
      emulation code can be removed.

      RTC: Rework RTC code to use timerqueue for events · 6610e089
      John Stultz 提交于
      This patch reworks a large portion of the generic RTC code
      to in-effect virtualize the rtc interrupt code.
      
      The current RTC interface is very much a raw hardware interface.
      Via the proc, /dev/, or sysfs interfaces, applciations can set
      the hardware to trigger interrupts in one of three modes:
      
      AIE: Alarm interrupt
      UIE: Update interrupt (ie: once per second)
      PIE: Periodic interrupt (sub-second irqs)
      
      The problem with this interface is that it limits the RTC hardware
      so it can only be used by one application at a time.
      
      The purpose of this patch is to extend the RTC code so that we can
      multiplex multiple applications event needs onto a single RTC device.
      This is done by utilizing the timerqueue infrastructure to manage
      a list of events, which cause the RTC hardware to be programmed
      to fire an interrupt for the next event in the list.
      
      In order to preserve the functionality of the exsting proc,/dev/ and
      sysfs interfaces, we emulate the different interrupt modes as follows:
      
      AIE: We create a rtc_timer dedicated to AIE mode interrupts. There is
      only one per device, so we don't change existing interface semantics.
      
      UIE: Again, a dedicated rtc_timer, set for periodic mode, is used
      to emulate UIE interrupts. Again, only one per device.
      
      PIE: Since PIE mode interrupts fire faster then the RTC's clock read
      granularity, we emulate PIE mode interrupts using a hrtimer. Again,
      one per device.
      
      With this patch, the rtctest.c application in Documentation/rtc.txt
      passes fine on x86 hardware. However, there may very well still be
      bugs, so greatly I'd appreciate any feedback or testing!

      rtc: remove BKL for ioctl() · 5ad31a57
      David Brownell 提交于
      Remove implicit use of BKL in ioctl() from the RTC framework.
      
      Instead, the rtc->ops_lock is used.  That's the same lock that already
      protects the RTC operations when they're issued through the exported
      rtc_*() calls in drivers/rtc/interface.c ...  making this a bugfix, not
      just a cleanup, since both ioctl calls and set_alarm() need to update IRQ
      enable flags and that implies a common lock (which RTC drivers as a rule
      do not provide on their own).
      
      A new comment at the declaration of "struct rtc_class_ops" summarizes
      current locking rules.  It's not clear to me that the exceptions listed
      there should exist ...  if not, those are pre-existing problems which can
      be fixed in a patch that doesn't relate to BKL removal.

      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.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
