      netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-3 · 8f15ea42
      Wang Chen 提交于
      We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
      1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
      2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
         netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
      But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
      directly.
      
      This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
      Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
      But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
      I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
      which is max size allowed by vger.

      [netdrvr] irq handler minor cleanups in several drivers · 28fc1f5a
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      * use irq_handler_t where appropriate
      
      * no need to use 'irq' function arg, its already stored in a data struct
      
      * rename irq handler 'irq' argument to 'dummy', where the function
        has been analyzed and proven not to use its first argument.
      
      * remove always-false "dev_id == NULL" test from irq handlers
      
      * remove pointless casts from void*
      
      * declance: irq argument is not const
      
      * add KERN_xxx printk prefix
      
      * fix minor whitespace weirdness

      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] Eliminate __attribute__ ((packed)) warnings for gcc-4.1 · 6a878184
      Jan Blunck 提交于
      Since version 4.1 the gcc is warning about ignored attributes. This patch is
      using the equivalent attribute on the struct instead of on each of the
      structure or union members.
      
      GCC Manual:
        "Specifying Attributes of Types
      
         packed
          This attribute, attached to struct or union type definition, specifies
          that
          each member of the structure or union is placed to minimize the memory
          required. When attached to an enum definition, it indicates that the
          smallest integral type should be used.
      
          Specifying this attribute for struct and union types is equivalent to
          specifying the packed attribute on each of the structure or union
          members."

      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!
