      [BNX2]: Fix nvram write logic. · c873879c
      Michael Chan 提交于
      The nvram dword alignment logic was broken when writing less than 4
      bytes on a non-aligned offset.  It was missing logic to round the
      length to 4 bytes.
      
      The page erase code is also moved so that it is only called when
      using non-buffered flash for better code clarity.
      
      Update version to 1.5.7.
      
      Based on initial patch from Tony Cureington <tony.cureington@hp.com>.

      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.

      [BNX2]: Disable MSI on 5706 if AMD 8132 bridge is present. · f9317a40
      Michael Chan 提交于
      MSI is defined to be 32-bit write.  The 5706 does 64-bit MSI writes
      with byte enables disabled on the unused 32-bit word.  This is legal
      but causes problems on the AMD 8132 which will eventually stop
      responding after a while.
      
      Without this patch, the MSI test done by the driver during open will
      pass, but MSI will eventually stop working after a few MSIs are
      written by the device.
      
      AMD believes this incompatibility is unique to the 5706, and
      prefers to locally disable MSI rather than globally disabling it
      using pci_msi_quirk.
      
      Update version to 1.4.45.
