2009-08-31x86: Move irq_init to x86_init_opsThomas Gleixner
irq_init is overridden by x86_quirks and by paravirts. Unify the whole mess and make it an unconditional x86_init_ops function which defaults to the standard function and can be overridden by the early platform code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-02-09xen: use our own eventchannel->irq pathJeremy Fitzhardinge
Rather than overloading vectors for event channels, take full responsibility for mapping an event channel to irq directly. With this patch Xen has its own irq allocator. When the kernel gets an event channel upcall, it maps the event channel number to an irq and injects it into the normal interrupt path.

2009-01-30x86/paravirt: add register-saving thunks to reduce caller register pressureJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: Optimization One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased. The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can use those registers without restriction. This includes the function argument registers, and several others. This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can be conventional compiler-generated code. In many cases (particularly performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway, and need not use the compiler's calling convention. Standard calling convention is: arguments return scratch x86-32 eax edx ecx eax ? x86-64 rdi rsi rdx rcx rax r8 r9 r10 r11 The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers. The return register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value). Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used. The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first. This is particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway. XXX Deal with VMI. What's their calling convention? Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2009-01-16percpu: add optimized generic percpu accessorsIngo Molnar
It is an optimization and a cleanup, and adds the following new generic percpu methods: percpu_read() percpu_write() percpu_add() percpu_sub() percpu_and() percpu_or() percpu_xor() and implements support for them on x86. (other architectures will fall back to a default implementation) The advantage is that for example to read a local percpu variable, instead of this sequence: return __get_cpu_var(var); ffffffff8102ca2b: 48 8b 14 fd 80 09 74 mov -0x7e8bf680(,%rdi,8),%rdx ffffffff8102ca32: 81 ffffffff8102ca33: 48 c7 c0 d8 59 00 00 mov $0x59d8,%rax ffffffff8102ca3a: 48 8b 04 10 mov (%rax,%rdx,1),%rax We can get a single instruction by using the optimized variants: return percpu_read(var); ffffffff8102ca3f: 65 48 8b 05 91 8f fd mov %gs:0x7efd8f91(%rip),%rax I also cleaned up the x86-specific APIs and made the x86 code use these new generic percpu primitives. tj: * fixed generic percpu_sub() definition as Roel Kluin pointed out * added percpu_and() for completeness's sake * made generic percpu ops atomic against preemption Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2008-10-16xen: Fix bug `do_IRQ: cannot handle IRQ -1 vector 0x6 cpu 1'Alex Nixon
Following commit 9c3f2468d8339866d9ef6a25aae31a8909c6be0d, do_IRQ() looks up the IRQ number in the per-cpu variable vector_irq. This commit makes Xen initialise an identity vector_irq map for both X86_32 and X86_64.

2008-07-31xen: compile irq functions without -pg for ftraceJeremy Fitzhardinge
For some reason I managed to miss a bunch of irq-related functions which also need to be compiled without -pg when using ftrace. This patch moves them into their own file, and starts a cleanup process I've been meaning to do anyway.
