  • 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.

  • Dump the extra mapping in the amikbd interrupt handler, so old Amiga keymaps
    work again. Amigas need a special keymap anyway, standard keymaps are not
    usable and recreating all keymaps is simply not worth the trouble.

  • Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to
    detect various interrupt edges and/or levels. For some platforms, this is
    critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is dependent
    on the device.

    Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following:

    err = request_irq(irq, ...);

    set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING);

    However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level sensitive
    (for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm.

    Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely set
    the type prior to unmasking the interrupt. The unfortunate problem is that in
    order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of the ARM
    architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're
    cross-architecture.

    Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the
    property that the device would like. The IRQ controller code should do its
    best to select the most appropriate supported mode.
