      tty: rewrite the ldisc locking · c65c9bc3
      Alan Cox 提交于
      There are several pretty much unfixable races in the old ldisc code, especially
      with respect to pty behaviour and also to hangup. It's easier to rewrite the
      code than simply try and patch it up.
      
      This patch
      - splits the ldisc from the tty (so we will be able to refcount it more cleanly
        later)
      - introduces a mutex lock for ldisc changing on an active device
      - fixes the complete mess that hangup caused
      - implements hopefully correct setldisc/close/hangup locking
      
      There are still some problems around pty pairs that have always been there but
      at least it is now possible to understand the code and fix further problems.
      
      This fixes the following known bugs
      - hang up can leak ldisc references
      - hang up may not call open/close on ldisc in a matched way
      - pty/tty pairs can deadlock during an ldisc change
      - reading the ldisc proc files can cause every ldisc to be loaded
      
      and probably a few other of the mysterious ldisc race reports.
      
      I'm sure it also adds the odd new one.

      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.
