      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      由 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.

      libata: Grand renaming. · cca3974e
      由 Jeff Garzik 提交于 
      The biggest change is that ata_host_set is renamed to ata_host.

* ata_host_set			=> ata_host
* ata_probe_ent->host_flags	=> ata_probe_ent->port_flags
* ata_probe_ent->host_set_flags	=> ata_probe_ent->_host_flags
* ata_host_stats		=> ata_port_stats
* ata_port->host		=> ata_port->scsi_host
* ata_port->host_set		=> ata_port->host
* ata_port_info->host_flags	=> ata_port_info->flags
* ata_(.*)host_set(.*)\(\)	=> ata_\1host\2()

The leading underscore in ata_probe_ent->_host_flags is to avoid
reusing ->host_flags for different purpose.  Currently, the only user
of the field is libata-bmdma.c and probe_ent itself is scheduled to be
removed.

ata_port->host is reused for different purpose but this field is used
inside libata core proper and of different type.

      [PATCH] PATCH: libata. Add ->data_xfer method · a6b2c5d4
      由 Alan Cox 提交于 
      We need to pass the device in order to do per device checks such as
32bit I/O enables. With the changes to include dev->ap we now don't have
to add parameters however just clean them up. Also add data_xfer methods
to the existing drivers except ata_piix (which is in the other block of
patches). If you reject the piix one just add a data_xfer to it...

      [PATCH] sata_sil: convert to new EH · f6aae27e
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      Convert sata_sil to new EH.  As these controllers have hardware
interrupt mask and are known to have screaming interrupts issues, use
hardware IRQ masking for freezing.  sil_freeze() masks interrupts for
the port and sil_thaw() unmasks them.  As ports are automatically
frozen before probing reset, there is no need to initialize interrupt
masks sil_init_onde().  Remove related code.

Other than freezing, sata_sil uses stock BMDMA EH routines.
