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.

2006-09-12[PATCH] Remove more unnecessary driver printk'sAndy Gospodarek
As I promised last week, here is the first pass at removing all unnecessary printk's that exist in network device drivers currently in promiscuous mode. The duplicate messages are not needed so they have been removed. Some of these drivers are quite old and might not need an update, but I did them all anyway. I am currently auditing the remaining conditional printk's and will send out a patch for those soon. Signed-off-by: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-07-05[PATCH] 8139too deadlock fixArjan van de Ven
> stack backtrace: > [<f9099d31>] rtl8139_start_xmit+0xd9/0xff [8139too] > [<c11ad5ea>] netpoll_send_skb+0x98/0xea This seems to be a real deadlock... So netpoll_send_skb takes the _xmit_lock, which is all nitty gritty but then rtl8139_start_xmit comes around while that lock is taken, and does spin_unlock_irq(&tp->lock); which.. enables interrupts and softirqs; this is quite bad because the xmit lock is taken in softirq context for the watchdog like this: [<c1200376>] _spin_lock+0x23/0x32 [<c11af282>] dev_watchdog+0x14/0xb1 [<c101dab2>] run_timer_softirq+0xf2/0x14a [<c101a691>] __do_softirq+0x55/0xb0 [<c1004a8d>] do_softirq+0x58/0xbd Which would deadlock now that the spin_unlock_irq() has enabled irqs/softirqs while the _xmit_lock is still held. The patch below turns this into a irqsave/irqrestore pair so that interrupts don't get enabled unconditionally.

2005-11-10[netdrvr 8139too] fast poll for thread, if an unlikely race occursJeff Garzik
The rtl8139 thread is triggered only on rare 8139 hardware, the race itself is unlikely, and the impact of racing is low. We don't care enough to create a more-complex race-free solution. Rather, if the trylock fails, we now simply poll twice a second until we do get the lock.

2005-06-25[PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezingChristoph Lameter
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h: frozen(process) Check for frozen process freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator) thaw_process(process) Restart process frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now 2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all kernel sources except sched.h 3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver 4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls. 5. Some whitespace cleanup 6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check PF_FROZEN). This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe! Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-05-12 [PATCH] 8139too: use iomap for pio/mmioPekka Enberg
This patch converts the 8139too driver to use the iomap infrastructure for PIO and MMIO instead of playing macro tricks. I also had to fix read_eeprom(), mdio_sync(), mdio_read(), and mdio_write() to not pass PIO base address to MMIO read() and write() functions. In addition, the patch adds proper __iomem annotations for the driver. Both modes, PIO and MMIO, were tested with a RealTel RTL8139 card on an x86 box. The 8129 support remains untested due to lack of hardware. Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
