  • All SH-4 parts have a 4-digit year, while the SH-3 parts typically
    only use a 2-digit one. The SH7705, SH7710, and SH7712 SH-3 parts
    however opted to extend it to 4-digit and still look and act like
    an SH-3 RTC in all other ways.

    This adds a capability flag (RTC_CAP_4_DIGIT_YEAR) that these
    corner-case CPU subtypes can set in their platform data and cleans
    up some of the ifdef mess in the driver as a result.

  • This adds alarm support for the RTC_ALM_SET, RTC_ALM_READ,
    RTC_WKALM_SET and RTC_WKALM_RD operations to rtc-sh.

    The only unusual part is the handling of the alarm interrupt. If you
    clear the alarm flag (AF) while the time in the RTC still matches the
    time in the alarm registers than AF is immediately re-set, and if the
    alarm interrupt (AIE) is still enabled then it re-triggers. I was
    originally getting around 20k+ interrupts generated during the second
    when the RTC and alarm registers matches.

    The solution I've used is to clear AIE when the alarm goes off and
    then use the carry interrupt to re-enabled it. The carry interrupt
    will check AF and re-enabled AIE if it's clear. If AF is not clear
    it'll clear it and then the check will be repeated next carry
    interrupt. This a bit in rtc structure that indicates that it's
    waiting to have AIE re-enabled so it doesn't turn it on when it
    wasn't enabled anyway.

  • The RMONCNT register, which holds the month in the RTC, takes a value
    between 1 and 12 while the tm_mon field in the time structures takes
    a value between 0 and 11. This wasn't being taken into account in
    rtc-sh resulting in the month being out by one.

    eg, on my board during boot the RTC is set to:

    RTC is set to Thu Jul 01 09:00:00 1999

    but "hwclock -r" immediately after logging in was showing:

    Sun Aug 1 09:01:43 1999 0.000000 seconds

  • When testing the per second interrupt support (RTC_UIE_ON/RTC_UIE_OFF)
    of the new RTC system it would die in sh_rtc_interrupt due to a null
    ptr dereference. The following gets it working correctly.

  • 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.
