2007-02-20backlight: Separate backlight properties from backlight ops pointersRichard Purdie
Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and allows simplifcation of some code. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
2007-02-20backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphoreRichard Purdie
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the header file. The external users of this are using it for a different reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method. backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all. Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't need it. Also update the lcd class in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
2007-02-20backlight: Remove unneeded owner fieldRichard Purdie
Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure. Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references unloaded code. Based on a patch from Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@insightbb.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>

Commit 40b20c257a13c5a526ac540bc5e43d0fdf29792a by Len Brown introduced a null pointer dereference in the appledisplay driver. This patch fixes it.

2006-12-20ACPI: video: Add dev argument for backlight_device_registerYu Luming
This patch set adds generic abstract layer support for acpi video driver to have generic user interface to control backlight and output switch control by leveraging the existing backlight sysfs class driver, and by adding a new video output sysfs class driver. This patch: Add dev argument for backlight_device_register to link the class device to real device object. The platform specific driver should find a way to get the real device object for their video device.

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.
