  • fa027c2a0   [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 4 ... Browse Code »

    Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • 7eebde700   [POWERPC] Souped-up of_platform_device support ... Browse Code »

    This patch first splits of_device.c and of_platform.c, the later containing
    the bits relative to of_platform_device's. On the "breaks" side of things,
    drivers uisng of_platform_device(s) need to include asm/of_platform.h now
    and of_(un)register_driver is now of_(un)register_platform_driver.

    In addition to a few utility functions to locate of_platform_device(s),
    the main new addition is of_platform_bus_probe() which allows the platform
    code to trigger an automatic creation of of_platform_devices for a whole
    tree of devices.

    The function acts based on the type of the various "parent" devices encountered
    from a provided root, using either a default known list of bus types that can be
    "probed" or a passed-in list. It will only register devices on busses matching
    that list, which mean that typically, it will not register PCI devices, as
    expected (since they will be picked up by the PCI layer).

    This will be used by Cell platforms using 4xx-type IOs in the Axon bridge
    and can be used by any embedded-type device as well.

  • 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.

  • f620753b9   [PATCH] powerpc: fix SMU driver interrupt mapping ... Browse Code »

    The SMU driver tries to map an interrupt from the device-tree before the
    interrupt controllers in the machine have been enumerated. This doesn't work
    properly and cause machines like the Quad g5 to fail booting later on when
    some drivers waits endlessly for an SMU request to complete. This is the
    second problem preventing boot on the Quad g5. This fixes it and also makes
    the SMU driver a bit more resilient to not having an interrupt.

  • 0ebfff149   [POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it ... Browse Code »

    This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one. Because
    there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value
    of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus),
    etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code
    over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later
    in bisecting).

    This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt
    tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber
    interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the
    new code now.

    For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is
    created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt
    presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match
    any device node that isn't a 8259. That works fine on pSeries and
    avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source
    controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees.

    The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt
    range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node
    (including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help
    porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't
    have a proper interrupt tree.

  • a28d3af2a   [PATCH] 2/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 2 ... Browse Code »

    This is the continuation of the previous patch. This one removes the old
    PowerMac i2c drivers (i2c-keywest and i2c-pmac-smu) and replaces them
    both with a single stub driver that uses the new PowerMac low i2c layer.

    Now that i2c-keywest is gone, the low-i2c code is extended to support
    interrupt driver transfers. All i2c busses now appear as platform
    devices. Compatibility with existing drivers should be maintained as the
    i2c bus names have been kept identical, except for the SMU bus but in
    that later case, all users has been fixed.

    With that patch added, matching a device node to an i2c_adapter becomes
    trivial.

    This is the first part of a rework of the PowerMac i2c code. It
    completely reworks the "low_i2c" layer. It is now more flexible,
    supports KeyWest, SMU and PMU i2c busses, and provides functions to
    match device nodes to i2c busses and adapters.

    This patch also extends & fix some bugs in the SMU driver related to i2c
    support and removes the clock spreading hacks from the pmac feature code
    rather than adapting them to the new API since they'll be replaced by
    the platform function code completely in patch 3/5

    iSight (untested). This is still experimental ! There is no thermal
    control yet, there is no proper handing of MSIs, etc.. but it
    boots, I have all 4 cores up on my machine. Compared to the previous
    version of this patch, this one adds DART IOMMU support for the U4
    chipset and thus should work fine on setups with more than 2Gb of RAM.

    The SMU driver has a small mistake in the locking of the interrupt code,
    if polled access and interrupt access race, interrupt may take a lock

  • 0365ba7fb   [PATCH] ppc64: SMU driver update & i2c support ... Browse Code »

    The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines
    including the iMac G5. It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time
    clock, etc...

    The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more
    than reading the real time clock synchronously. This is a completely
    rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland
    interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off
    the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors. This driver is a basic block
    for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

    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!
