      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] USB: Eagle and ADI 930 usb adsl modem driver · b72458a8
      matthieu castet 提交于
      A driver for USB ADSL modems based on the ADI eagle chipset using the
      usb_atm infrastructure.
      
      The managing part was taken from bsd ueagle driver, other parts were
      written from scratch.
      
      The driver uses the in-kernel firmware loader :
      - to load  a first usb firmware when the modem is in pre-firmware state
      - to load the dsp firmware that are swapped in host memory.
      - to load CMV (configuration and management variables) when the modem
      boot. (We can't use options or sysfs for this as there many possible
      values. See
      https://mail.gna.org/public/eagleusb-dev/2005-04/msg00031.html for a
      description of some)
      - to load fpga code for 930 chipset.
      
      The device had 4 endpoints :
      * 2 for data (use by usbatm). The incoming
      endpoint could be iso or bulk. The modem seems buggy and produce lot's
      of atm errors when using it in bulk mode for speed > 3Mbps, so iso
      endpoint is need for speed > 3Mbps. At the moment iso endpoint need a
      patched usbatm library and for this reason is not included in this patch.
      
      * One bulk endpoint for uploading dsp firmware
      
      * One irq endpoint that notices the driver
          - if we need to upload a page of the dsp firmware
          - an ack for read or write CMV and the value (for the read case).
      
      If order to make the driver cleaner, we design synchronous
      (read|write)_cmv :
      -send a synchronous control message to the modem
      -wait for an ack or a timeout
      -return the value if needed.
      
      In order to run these synchronous usb messages we need a kernel thread.
      
      The driver has been tested  with sagem fast 800 modems with different
      eagle chipset revision and with ADI 930 since April 2005.
