  • f8798ccbe   video: irq: Remove IRQF_DISABLED ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • c2e13037e   platform-drivers: move probe to .devinit.text in drivers/video ... Browse Code »

    A pointer to a probe callback is passed to the core via
    platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
    .init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
    unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
    oops as does a device being registered late.

    An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
    platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
    from the struct platform_driver.

  • 59f0cb0fd   [ARM] remove memzero() ... Browse Code »

    As suggested by Andrew Morton, remove memzero() - it's not supported
    on other architectures so use of it is a potential build breaking bug.
    Since the compiler optimizes memset(x,0,n) to __memzero() perfectly
    well, we don't miss out on the underlying benefits of memzero().

  • 27ac792ca   PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures ... Browse Code »

    On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
    boundary. For example:

    u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);

    always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.

    The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
    example):

    #define PAGE_SHIFT 12
    #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
    #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
    ...
    #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)

    The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
    PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
    Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
    typeof(addr) for the mask.

    Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
    include/linux/mm.h.

  • 7d12e780e   IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • c465e05a0   [PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon ... Browse Code »

    According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
    drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
    function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
    fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
    moved to the console directory.

    Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
    field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
    version.

    The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
    loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
    also not be loaded.

  • 9480e307c   [PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacks ... Browse Code »

    In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level. Then
    all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally
    SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain
    compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2
    suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume
    callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing
    drivers continued to work.

    Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary,
    we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

    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!
