2006-10-13Include proper header file for PFN_DOWN()Linus Torvalds
The recent commit (99a10a60ba9bedcf5d70ef81414d3e03816afa3f) to fix up mmap_kmem() broke compiles because it used PFN_DOWN() without including <linux/pfn.h>. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-10-13[PATCH] Fix up mmap_kmemFranck Bui-Huu
vma->vm_pgoff is an pfn _offset_ relatif to the begining of the memory start. The previous code was doing at first: vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT which results into a wrong physical address since some platforms have a physical mem start that can be different from 0. After that the previous call __pa() on this wrong physical address, however __pa() is used to convert a _virtual_ address into a physical one. This patch rewrites this convertion. It calculates the pfn of PAGE_OFFSET which is the pfn of the mem start then it adds the vma->vm_pgoff to it. It also uses virt_to_phys() instead of __pa() since the latter shouldn't be used by drivers. Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-10-07[PATCH] m68k pt_regs fixesAl Viro
m68k_handle_int() split in two functions: __m68k_handle_int() takes pt_regs * and does set_irq_regs(); m68k_handle_int() doesn't get pt_regs *. Places where we used to call m68k_handle_int() recursively with the same pt_regs have simply lost the second argument, the rest is switched to __m68k_handle_int().

- Eliminate casts to/from void* - Eliminate checks for conditions that never occur. These typically fall into two classes: 1) Checking for 'dev_id == NULL', then it is never called with NULL as an argument. 2) Checking for invalid irq number, when the only caller (the system) guarantees the irq handler is called with the proper 'irq' number argument.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
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.
