The result of container_of should not be NULL. In particular, in this case
the argument to the enclosing function has passed though INIT_WORK, which
dereferences it, implying that its container cannot be NULL.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
// <smpl>
@@
identifier fn,work,x,fld;
type T;
expression E1,E2;
statement S;
@@
static fn(struct work_struct *work) {
... when != work = E1
x = container_of(work,T,fld)
... when != x = E2
- if (x == NULL) S
...
}
// </smpl>

For the vast majority of CardType[card->typ] uses (but not all!),
the string is constant for each driver. Therefore, we may replace
CardType[card->typ] with the actual string describing the driver, making
each printk() a bit more simple.
This also has the nice, intended side effect of greatly reducing
external references to hisax global CardType[]. This will be of value
once the ISDN drivers are converted to the ISA/PCI/PNP hotplug APIs.

Fix the following warning:
WARNING: drivers/isdn/hisax/built-in.o(.text+0x35818): Section mismatch in reference from the function hfcsx_card_msg() to the function .devinit.text:inithfcsx()
hfcsx_card_msg() may be called outside __devinit context.
Following the program logic is looks like the CARD_INIT branch
will only be taken under __devinit context but to be consistent
remove the __devinit annotation of inithfcsx() so we
do not mix non-__devinit and __devinit code.

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.

Clean up warnings in drivers/isdn by using long not int for the values
where we pass void * and cast to integer types. The code is ok (ok passing
the stuff this way isn't pretty but the code is valid). In all the cases I
checked out the right thing happens anyway but this removes all the
warnings.

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!
