* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] make more file_operation structs staticArjan van de Ven2006-07-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper debug option they are then protected against corruption..

| * [IA64] Cleanup use of various #defines related to nodesJack Steiner2005-09-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the SN code & #defines related to compact nodes & IO discovery have gotten stale over the years. This patch attempts to clean them up. Some of the various SN MAX_xxx #defines were also unclear & misused. The primary changes are: - use MAX_NUMNODES. This is the generic linux #define for the number of nodes that are known to the generic kernel. Arrays & loops for constructs that are 1:1 with linux-defined nodes should use the linux #define - not an SN equivalent. - use MAX_COMPACT_NODES for MAX_NUMNODES + NUM_TIOS. This is the number of nodes in the SSI system. Compact nodes are a hack to get around the IA64 architectural limit of 256 nodes. Large SGI systems have more than 256 nodes. When we upgrade to ACPI3.0, I _hope_ that all nodes will be real nodes that are known to the generic kernel. That will allow us to delete the notion of "compact nodes". - add MAX_NUMALINK_NODES for the total number of nodes that are in the numalink domain - all partitions. - simplified (understandable) scan_for_ionodes() - small amount of cleanup related to cnodes Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following is an update of the patch I sent yesterday (3/9/05) incorporating suggestions from Christoph Hellwig and Andreas Schwab. It allows Altix and Altix-like systems to handle environmental events generated by the system controllers, and should apply on top of Jack Steiner's patch of 3/1/05 ("New chipset support for SN platform") and Mark Goodwin's patch of 3/8/05 ("Altix SN topology support for new chipsets and pci topology").

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+448
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!
