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.

(cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)
This revamps handling of the hardware "async advance" IRQ, and its watchdog
timer. Basically it dis-entangles that important timeout from the others,
simplifying the associated state and code to make it more robust.
This reportedly improves behavior of EHCI on some systems with VIA chips,
and AFAIK won't affect non-VIA hardware. VIA systems need this code to
recover from silcon bugs whereby the "async advance" IRQ isn't issued.

This patch (as640) removes several put_device and the corresponding
get_device calls from the USB core and HCDs. Some of the puts were done
in atomic contexts, and none of them are needed since the core now
guarantees that every endpoint will be disabled and every URB completed
before a USB device is released.

This patch modifies the behavior of the EHCI driver in an unlink path
that seems to be causing various issues on some systems. Those problems
have included issues with disconnection, driver unbinding, and similar
cases where urb unlinking would just not work right.
This patch should help avoid those problems by not turning off the async
(control/bulk) schedule until it's not expecting an "async advance" IRQ,
which comes from the processing passing the schedule head. Whether the
driver attempts to do such things is dependent on system timings, so
many folk would never have seen these problems.

On the MPC834x processors the multiport host (MPH) EHCI controller has an
erratum in which the port number in the queue head expects to be 0..N-1
instead of 1..N. If we are on one of these chips we subtract one from
the port number before putting it into the queue head.

When the ehci-hcd driver prepares a control URB, it tests for a
zero-length data stage by looking at the transfer_dma value instead of
the transfer_buffer_length. (In fact it does this even for non-control
URBs, which is an additional aspect of the same bug.)
However, under certain circumstances it's possible for transfer_dma to
be 0 while transfer_buffer_length is non-zero. This can happen when a
freshly allocated page (mapped to address 0 and marked Copy-On-Write,
but never written to) is used as the source buffer for an OUT transfer.
This patch (as598) fixes the problem.

This patch closes the IRQ race and makes various other OHCI & EHCI code
path safer vs. suspend/resume.
I've been able to (finally !) successfully suspend and resume various
Mac models, with or without USB mouse plugged, or plugging while asleep,
or unplugging while asleep etc... all without a crash.
Alan, please verify the UHCI bit I did, I only verified that it builds.
It's very simple so I wouldn't expect any issue there. If you aren't
confident, then just drop the hunks that change uhci-hcd.c
I also made the patch a little bit more "safer" by making sure the store
to the interrupt register that disables interrupts is not posted before
I set the flag and drop the spinlock.
Without this patch, you cannot reliably sleep/wakeup any recent Mac, and
I suspect PCs have some more sneaky issues too (they don't frankly crash
with machine checks because x86 tend to silently swallow PCI errors but
that won't last afaik, at least PCI Express will blow up in those
situations, but the USB code may still misbehave).

This adds the field tt_usecs to ehci_qh and ehci_iso_stream, and sets it
appropriately when setting them up as periodic endpoints. It records
the transation translator's think_time (added in last patch) plus the
downstream (i.e. low or full speed) bustime of the transfer associated
with each interrupt or iso frame, as calculated by usb_calc_bus_time.

This patch has a one line oops fix, plus related cleanups.
- The bugfix uses microframe scheduling data given to the hardware to
test "is this a periodic QH", rather than testing for nonzero period.
(Prevents an oops by providing the correct answer.)
- The cleanup going along with the patch should make it clearer what's
going on whenever those bitfields are accessed.
The bug came about when, around January, two new kinds of EHCI interrupt
scheduling operation were added, involving both the high speed (24 KBytes
per millisec) and low/full speed (1-64 bytes per millisec) microframe
scheduling. A driver for the Edirol UA-1000 Audio Capture Unit ran into
the oops; it used one of the newly supported high speed modes.

This patch does the same swap, i.e. use the ISO macro if (isoc).
Additionally, it fixes the return value - the usb_calc_bus_time function
returns the time in nanoseconds (I didn't notice that before) while the
HS_USECS and HS_USECS_ISO are microseconds. This fixes the function to
return nanoseconds always, and adjusts ehci-q.c (the only high-speed
caller of the function) to wrap the call in NS_TO_US().

Various minor EHCI updates
* Dump some more info in the debug dumps, notably the product
description (e.g. chip vendor), BIOS handhake flags, and
debug port status (when it's not managed by the HCD).
* Minor updates to the BIOS handoff code: always flag the HCD
as owned by Linux (in case BIOS doesn't grab it "early"),
and on the buggy-BIOS path always match the "early handoff"
code and forcibly disable SMI IRQs.
* For the disabled 64bit DMA support, there's now a constant
to use for the mask; use it.

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!
