Arjan van de Ven 2b8693c061 [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 3
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Michael S. Tsirkin 062dbb69f3 IB: Return qp pointer as part of ib_wc
struct ib_wc currently only includes the local QP number: this matches
the IB spec, but seems mostly useless. The following patch replaces
this with the pointer to qp itself, and updates all low level drivers
and all users.

This has the following advantages:
- Ability to get a per-qp context through wc->qp->qp_context
- Existing drivers already have the qp pointer ready in poll cq, so
  this change actually saves a tiny bit (extra memory read) on data path
  (for ehca it would actually be expensive to find the QP pointer when
  polling a CQ, but ehca does not support SRQ so we can leave wc->qp as
  NULL for ehca)
- Users that need the QP number can still get it through wc->qp->qp_num

Use case:

In IPoIB connected mode code, I have a common CQ shared by multiple
QPs.  To track connection usage, I need a way to get at some per-QP
context upon the completion, and I would like to avoid allocating
context object per work request just to stick a QP pointer into it.
With this code, I can just use wc->qp->qp_context.

Roland Dreier 0a1336c8c9 IB/ipath: Fix IRQ for PCI Express HCAs
Commit 51f65ebc ("IB/ipath - program intconfig register using new HT
irq hook"), which fixed interrupts for HyperTransport HCAs, broke PCI
Express HCAs, because for those HCAs, the driver uses the value of
pdev->irq before pci_enable_msi() and ends up getting a totally bogus
IRQ number.  Fix this by using the value of pdev->irq after
pci_enable_msi().

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.

save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.
