      [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Scream but don't die if we receive an unexpected irq · d3696cf7
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Due to code bugs or misbehaving hardware it is possible that we can
      receive an interrupt that we have not mapped into a linux irq.  Calling
      BUG when that happens is very rude, and if the problem is mild enough
      prevents anything else from getting done.
      
      So instead of calling BUG just scream loudly about the problem and
      continue running.  We don't have enough knowledge to know which
      interrupt triggered this behavior so we don't acknowledge it.  This will
      likely prevent a recurrence of the problem by jamming up the works with
      an unacknowledged interrupt.
      
      If the interrupt was something important it is quite possible that
      nothing productive will happen past this point.  But it is now at least
      possible to keep working if the kernel can survive without the interrupt
      we dropped on the floor.
      
      Solutions like irqpoll should generally make dropped irqs non-fatal.

      [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Allocate a vector across all cpus for genapic_flat. · c7111c13
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The problem we can't take advantage of lowest priority delivery mode if
      the vectors are allocated for only one cpu at a time.  Nor can we work
      around hardware that assumes lowest priority delivery mode is always
      used with several cpus.
      
      So this patch introduces the concept of a vector_allocation_domain.  A
      set of cpus that will receive an irq on the same vector.  Currently the
      code for implementing this is placed in the genapic structure so we can
      vary this depending on how we are using the io_apics.
      
      This allows us to restore the previous behaviour of genapic_flat without
      removing the benefits of having separate vector allocation for large
      machines.
      
      This should also fix the problem report where a hyperthreaded cpu was
      receving the irq on the wrong hyperthread when in logical delivery mode
      because the previous behaviour is restored.
      
      This patch properly records our allocation of the first 16 irqs to the
      first 16 available vectors on all cpus.  This should be fine but it may
      run into problems with multiple interrupts at the same interrupt level.
      Except for some badly maintained comments in the code and the behaviour
      of the interrupt allocator I have no real understanding of that problem.

      [PATCH] i386/x86_64: Remove global IO_APIC_VECTOR · b940d22d
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Which vector an irq is assigned to now varies dynamically and is
      not needed outside of io_apic.c.  So remove the possibility
      of accessing the information outside of io_apic.c and remove
      the silly macro that makes looking for users of irq_vector
      difficult.
      
      The fact this compiles ensures there aren't any more pieces
      of the old CONFIG_PCI_MSI weirdness that I failed to remove.

      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.
