  • With the sg table code, every SCSI driver is now either chain capable
    or broken (or has sg_tablesize set so chaining is never activated), so
    there's no need to have a check in the host template.

    Also tidy up the code by moving the scatterlist size defines into the
    SCSI includes and permit the last entry of the scatterlist pools not
    to be a power of two.

  • Remove pointless and never-called enable_wake() hook from pci_driver and
    from documentation. Evidently this was introduced in the 2.4.6 kernel,
    but there's no evidence it was ever called; and it was rarely implemented.

  • After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
    recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
    There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
    anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
    macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
    course of cleaning it up.

    To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
    removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

    Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
    arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
    allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
    configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
    introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
    by unnecessarily included header files).

  • 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.

  • Wrap a highly common idiom. Makes the code easier to read, helps pave
    the way for sdev->{id,channel} removal, and adds a token that can easily
    by grepped-for in the future.

    There are a couple sdev_id() and scmd_printk() updates thrown in as well.

  • scsi_add_host is the proper place to set the device, but people copy
    the scsi_set_device usage from older drivers again and again.

    note that this leaves some legacy drivers like qlogicisp/qlogicfc
    without pci association in sysfs, but they're scheduled to go away soon
    anyway.

  • 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!
