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.

Various scsi drivers use scsi_cmnd.buffer and scsi_cmnd.bufflen in their
queuecommand functions. Those fields are internal storage for the
midlayer only and are used to restore the original payload after
request_buffer and request_bufflen have been overwritten for EH. Using
the buffer and bufflen fields means they do very broken things in error
handling.

When the locking was changed in the eh code ips_eh_reset was changed
so that it was a wraper around __ips_eh_reset and all ips_eh_reset
does is grab the host lock and then calls __ips_eh_reset.
In the queuecommand, ips_queue is called with the host_lock held so if
it calls ips_eh_reset we will have a problem. This patch just has
ips_queue call __ips_eh_reset.
Patch is only compile tested. I do not have the HW.

A critical thing the ServeRAID driver MUST do is hide the physical DASDI
devices from the OS. It does this by intercepting the INQUIRY commands.
In recent 2.6.15 testing, I discovered this to be failing.
The cause was the driver assuming that the INQUIRY response data was in a
simple single buffer, when it was actually a 1 element scatter gather list.
This patch makes ips always look at the correct data when examining an
INQUIRY response.

Resetting the adapter causes the ServeRAID driver to exceed
the max time allowed by the softlock watchdog. Resetting the
hardware can easily require 30 or more seconds. To avoid the
"BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!"
result, this patch replaces the mdelay() calls in the
initialization/reset routines with msleep().

If I/O is active on the adapter, and an unexpected interrupt is pending
during initialization, the driver blows it's brains out. Since the driver
didn't initiate the I/O, the data in it's internal tables will contain NULL
pointers.
When this condition is detected, a "flush cache and reset" is performed.
The flush cache allows any pending "lazy writes" that the adapter is
processing to complete ( a "must have" for a RAID adapter ) and the reset
puts the adapter back into a known, good state.

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!
