  • tty_wakeup cleanup

    - remove wake_up_interruptible(&tty->write_wait) surrounding
    tty_wakup(tty);
    - substitute tty->ldisc.write_wakeup(tty) + wake_up() by tty_wakeup(tty);

  • This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
    goes with the updates. At this point we have the same functionality as
    before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
    begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs

    If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
    impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
    setting functions from your upper layers.

    If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
    was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
    please fix it 8)

    Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
    code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
    paranoia

  • 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.

  • As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
    structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these
    structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML
    without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
    tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
    be fixed.

    This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all
    cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an
    extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
    warnings.

    53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
    most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
    last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

  • Remove TTY_DONT_FLIP tty flag. This flag was introduced in 2.1.X kernels
    to prevent the N_TTY line discipline functions read_chan() and
    n_tty_receive_buf() from running at the same time. 2.2.15 introduced
    tty->read_lock to protect access to the N_TTY read buffer, which is the
    only state requiring protection between these two functions.

    The current TTY_DONT_FLIP implementation is broken for SMP, and is not
    universally honored by drivers that send data directly to the line
    discipline receive_buf function.

    Because TTY_DONT_FLIP is not necessary, is broken in implementation, and is
    not universally honored, it is removed.

  • This patch removes all occurances of _INLINE_ in the kernel.

    With the exception of tty_flip.h, I've simply removed the inline's since
    gcc should know best which functions to be inlined.

  • 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!
