  • Since commit [e58aa3d2: genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled],
    We run all interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled and we even check
    and yell when an interrupt handler returns with interrupts enabled (see
    commit [b738a50a: genirq: Warn when handler enables interrupts]).

    So now this flag is a NOOP and can be removed.

  • - EISA support for non PCI RMs (RM200 and RM400-xxx). The major part
    is the splitting of the EISA and onboard ISA of the RM200, which
    makes the EISA bus on the RM200 look like on other RMs.
    - 64bit kernel support
    - system type detection is now common for big and little endian
    - moved sniprom code to arch/mips/fw
    - added call_o32 function to arch/mips/fw/lib, which uses a private
    stack for calling prom functions
    - fix problem with ISA interrupts, which makes using PIT clockevent
    possible

  • This is a big irq cleanup patch.

    * Use set_irq_chip() to register irq_chip.
    * Initialize .mask, .unmask, .mask_ack field. Functions for these
    method are already exist in most case.
    * Do not initialize .startup, .shutdown, .enable, .disable fields if
    default routines provided by irq_chip_set_defaults() were suitable.
    * Remove redundant irq_desc initializations.
    * Remove unnecessary local_irq_save/local_irq_restore, spin_lock.

    With this cleanup, it would be easy to switch to slightly lightwait
    irq flow handlers (handle_level_irq(), etc.) instead of __do_IRQ().

    Though whole this patch is quite large, changes in each irq_chip are
    not quite simple. Please review and test on your platform. Thanks.

  • This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
    various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
    functionality.

    While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
    generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
    smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
    the new 'irq chip' abstraction.

    The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
    driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
    straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
    (level/edge/etc.) type of details.

    This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
    architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
    The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
    converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.

    As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
    (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.

    The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
    and more consolidation between architectures.

    We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
    layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.

    This patch:

    rename desc->handler to desc->chip.

    Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having
    both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
    large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
    truly is.

    I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
    desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
    frequently.

    So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically
    via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.

    This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
    remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
    without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

  • Saves like 1,600 lines of code, is way easier to debug, compilers
    frequently do a better job than the cut and paste type of handlers many
    boards had. And finally having all the stuff done in a single place
    also means alot of bug potencial for the MT ASE is gone.

    The only surviving handler in assembler is the DECstation one; I hope
    Maciej will rewrite 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!
