Matthew Wilcox e62438630c [PATCH] Centralise definitions of sector_t and blkcnt_t
CONFIG_LBD and CONFIG_LSF are spread into asm/types.h for no particularly
good reason.

Centralising the definition in linux/types.h means that arch maintainers
don't need to bother adding it, as well as fixing the problem with
x86-64 users being asked to make a decision that has absolutely no
effect.

The H8/300 porters seem particularly confused since I'm not aware of any
microcontrollers that need to support 2TB filesystems.

Atsushi Nemoto 05e4396651 [MIPS] Use SYSVIPC_COMPAT to fix various problems on N32
N32 SysV IPC system calls should use 32-bit compatible code.
arch/mips/kernel/linux32.c have similar compatible code for O32, but
ipc/compat.c seems more complete.  We can use it for both N32 and O32.

This patch should fix these problems (and other possible problems):

Further incorporation of generic irq framework.  Replacing __do_IRQ()
by proper flow handler would make the irq handling path a bit simpler
and faster.

* use generic_handle_irq() instead of __do_IRQ().
* use handle_level_irq for obvious level-type irq chips.
* use handle_percpu_irq for irqs marked as IRQ_PER_CPU.
* setup .eoi routine for irq chips possibly used with handle_percpu_irq.

Atsushi Nemoto 1603b5aca4 [MIPS] IRQ cleanups
This is a big irq cleanup patch.

* Use set_irq_chip() to register irq_chip.
* Initialize .mask, .unmask, .mask_ack field.  Functions for these
  method are already exist in most case.
* Do not initialize .startup, .shutdown, .enable, .disable fields if
  default routines provided by irq_chip_set_defaults() were suitable.
* Remove redundant irq_desc initializations.
* Remove unnecessary local_irq_save/local_irq_restore, spin_lock.

With this cleanup, it would be easy to switch to slightly lightwait
irq flow handlers (handle_level_irq(), etc.) instead of __do_IRQ().

Though whole this patch is quite large, changes in each irq_chip are
not quite simple.  Please review and test on your platform.  Thanks.

Franck Bui-Huu 99e3b942c6 [MIPS] page.h: remove __pa() usages.
__pa() was used by virt_to_page() and virt_addr_valid(). These
latter are used when kernel is initialised so __pa() is not
appropriate, we use virt_to_phys() instead.

Futhermore __pa() is going to take care of CKSEG0/XKPHYS
address mix for 64 bit kernels. This makes __pa() more complex
than virt_to_phys() and this extra work is not needed by
virt_to_page() and virt_addr_valid().

Eventually it consolidates virt_to_phys() prototype by making
its argument 'const'. this avoids some warnings that was due
to some virt_to_page() usages which pass const pointer.

David Howells 40220c1a19 IRQ: Use the new typedef for interrupt handler function pointers
Use the new typedef for interrupt handler function pointers rather than
actually spelling out the full thing each time.  This was scripted with the
following small shell script:

#!/bin/sh
egrep -nHrl -e 'irqreturn_t[ 	]*[(][*]' $* |
while read i
do
    echo $i
    perl -pi -e 's/irqreturn_t\s*[(]\s*[*]\s*([_a-zA-Z0-9]*)\s*[)]\s*[(]\s*int\s*,\s*void\s*[*]\s*[)]/irq_handler_t \1/g' $i || exit $?
done

David Howells 7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
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.
