963267bc5d declance: Restore tx descriptor ring locking
A driver overhaul on 29 Feb 2000 (!) broke locking around fiddling with 
the tx descriptor ring in start_xmit(); a follow-on "fix" removed the 
broken remnants altogether.  Here's a patch to restore proper locking in 
the function -- the complement in the interrupt handler has been correct 
all the time.

 This *may* have been the reason for the occasional confusion of the chip 
-- triggering a tx timeout followed by a chip reset sequence -- seen on 
R4k-based DECstations with the onboard Ethernet interface.  Another theory 
is the confusion is due to an unindentified problem -- perhaps a silicon 
erratum -- associated with the variation of the MT ASIC used to interface 
the R4k CPU to the rest of the system on these computers; with its 
aggressive write-back buffering the design is particularly weakly ordered 
when it comes to MMIO (in the absence of ordering barriers uncached reads 
are allowed to bypass earlier uncached writes, even if to the same 
location), which may trigger all kinds of corner cases in peripheral 
hardware as well as software.

Either way this piece of code is buggy.

4cf1653aa9 netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-2
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

babcda74e9 drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.
The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were

* use irq_handler_t where appropriate

* no need to use 'irq' function arg, its already stored in a data struct

* rename irq handler 'irq' argument to 'dummy', where the function
  has been analyzed and proven not to use its first argument.

* remove always-false "dev_id == NULL" test from irq handlers

* remove pointless casts from void*

* declance: irq argument is not const

* add KERN_xxx printk prefix

09f75cd7bf [NET] drivers/net: statistics cleanup #1 -- save memory and shrink code
We now have struct net_device_stats embedded in struct net_device,
and the default ->get_stats() hook does the obvious thing for us.

Run through drivers/net/* and remove the driver-local storage of
statistics, and driver-local ->get_stats() hook where applicable.

This was just the low-hanging fruit in drivers/net; plenty more drivers
remain to be updated.

e8f7f7f11d [PATCH] declance: Support the I/O ASIC LANCE w/o TURBOchannel
The onboard LANCE of I/O ASIC systems is not a TURBOchannel device, at
least from the software point of view.  Therefore it does not rely on any
kernel TURBOchannel bus services and can be supported even if support for
TURBOchannel has not been enabled in the configuration.

Tested with the onboard LANCE of a DECstation 5000/133.

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.

5b057c6b1a [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_pad
First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
the existing one is not shared.  More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
requeueing.

This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
it if needed.  Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
originally created.

Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
TCP, etc.).  As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb.  Because
of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
it's best if we don't do 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.
