The speedtouch modem setup code was reverse engineered many years
ago from a prehistoric windows driver. Less ancient windows drivers,
even those from a few years ago, perform extra initialization steps
which this patch adds to the linux driver. David Woodhouse observed
that this initialization along with the firmware bin/sachu3/zzzlp2.eni
from the driver at
http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/downloads/330/301/UK3012%20Extended.zip
improves line sync speeds by about 20%. He provided the original
patch, which I've modified to use symbolic names (BMaxDSL, ModemMode,
ModemOption) rather than magic numbers. These names may not seem like
much of an improvement (after all, what is "ModemOption" exactly?),
but they do have one big advantage: they are the names used in the
windows registry. I've made them available as module parameters.
Thanks are due to Aurelio Arroyo, who noticed the relationship
between these magic numbers and the entries in Phonebook.ini.

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.

The maximum possible bandwidth for a speedtouch modem is about 7Mbaud.
You can only get this by using isochronous urbs (enable_isoc=1) and
altsetting 3. With the current default altsetting of 2, the modem
maxes out at about 4Mbaud. So change the default altsetting to 3
when using isochronous urbs. It would be nice to base the altsetting
on the detected line speed, but that's hard given the current design.

While the usbatm core has had some support for using isoc urbs
for some time, there was no way for users to turn it on. While
use of isoc transfer should still be considered experimental, it
now works well enough to let users turn it on. Minidrivers signal
to the core that they want to use isoc transfer by setting the new
UDSL_USE_ISOC flag. The speedtch minidriver gets a new module
parameter enable_isoc (defaults to false), plus some logic that
checks for the existence of an isoc receive endpoint (not all
speedtouch modems have one).

Change the module parameters rcv_buf_size and snd_buf_size to
specify buffer sizes in bytes rather than ATM cells. Since
there is some danger that users may not notice this change,
the parameters are renamed to rcv_buf_bytes etc. The transmit
buffer needs to be a multiple of the ATM cell size in length,
while the receive buffer should be a multiple of the endpoint
maxpacket size (this wasn't enforced before, which causes trouble
with isochronous transfers), so enforce these restrictions. Now
that the usbatm probe method inspects the endpoint maxpacket size,
minidriver bind routines need to set the correct alternate setting
for the interface in their bind routine. This is the reason for
the speedtch changes.

Have minidrivers and the core signal special requirements
using a flags field in struct usbatm_data. For the moment
this is only used to replace the need_heavy_init bind
parameter, but there'll be new flags in later patches.

ICC likes to complain about storage class not being first, GCC doesn't
care much (except for cases like "inline static").
have a hard time seeing how it could break anything.

We map states 0x00 and 0x10 to the ATM_PHY_SIG_LOST flag. The current logic fails to
resync the line if we get state 0x10 followed by 0x00, since we only resync the line
when the state is 0x00 and the flag changed. Doubly fixed by (1) always resyncing the
line when the state is 0x00 even if the state didn't change, and (2) keeping track of
the last state, not just the flag. We do (2) as well as (1) in order to get better log
messages.
This is a tweaked version of the original patch by Aurelio Arroyo.

Port the speedtch driver to the new usbatm core. The code is much
the same as before, just reorganized, though I threw in some minor
improvements (a new module parameter for choosing the altsetting,
more robust urb failure handling, ...) while I was there.

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!
