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.

dm9000_release_board calls release_resource with the platform resource
instead of the requested resource:
db->addr_res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
db->addr_req = request_mem_region(db->addr_res->start, i, pdev->name);
dm9000_release_board:
if (db->addr_res != NULL) {
release_resource(db->addr_res);
kfree(db->addr_req);
With this behavior the kernel will crash on the second removal. The
attached patch fix this problem.

The DM9000 driver does not deal with the case
where there is no serial EEPROM to store the
configuration, and the bootloader has placed
an MAC address into the device already.
If there is no valid MAC in the EEPROM, read
the one already in the chip and check to see
if that one is valid.

The current DM9000 driver cannot cope if it
is given more than 3 resources (for example, if
it is being passed an wake-up irq that it is
not using yet).
Check that we have been given at-least one IRQ
resource.
Also fix the minor type-casting for the case
of 2 resources.

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.
A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.
There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level. Then
all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally
SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain
compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2
suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume
callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing
drivers continued to work.
Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary,
we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

The DM9000 driver is responding to ioctl() calls it should not be. This
can cause problems with the wireless tools incorrectly indentifying the
device as wireless capable, and crashing under certain operations.
This patch also moves the version printk() to the init call, so that
you only get it once for multiple devices, and to show it is loaded
if there are no defined dm9000s

Fix DM9000 driver usage of spinlocks, which mainly came to light
when running a kernel with spinlock debugging. These come down to:
1) Un-initialised spin lock
2) Several cases of using spin_xxx(lock) and not spin_xxx(&lock)
3) move the locking around the phy reg for read/write to only
keep the lock when actually reading or writing to the phy.
