  • If you are genuinely using one of these legacy MCA drivers
    then you are tragically on hardware where you really don't
    have the extra CPU cycles to be wasting on this.

    In addition, it makes two less cases for people to inadvertently
    blindly copy flags from without explicitly thinking whether it
    makes sense -- see the addition to feature-removal.txt as per
    commit 9d9b8fb0e5ebf4b0398e579f6061d4451fea3242.

  • Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same as uc_list.

    +uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global"
    variant) instead of a function parameter.
    +removes dev_mcast.c completely.
    +exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for
    manipulation with lists on a sandbox (used in bonding and 80211 drivers)

  • Only files where David Miller is the primary git-signer.
    wireless, wimax, ixgbe, etc are not modified.

    Compile tested x86 allyesconfig only
    Not all files compiled (not x86 compatible)

    Added a few > 80 column lines, which I ignored.
    Existing checkpatch complaints ignored.

  • This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
    a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
    now, no harm done.

    I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
    that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

  • Some hardware set promisc when they are requested to set IFF_ALLMULTI flag.
    It's ok, but if drivers set IFF_PROMISC flag when they set promisc,
    it will broken upper layer handle for promisc and allmulti.
    In addition, drivers can use their own hardware programming to make it.
    So do not allow drivers to set IFF_* flags.

    This is a general driver fix, so I didn't split it to pieces and send
    to specific driver maintainers.

  • 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.

  • First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
    the existing one is not shared. More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
    interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
    requeueing.

    This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
    it if needed. Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
    skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
    originally created.

    Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
    TCP, etc.). As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb. Because
    of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
    it's best if we don't do it.

  • 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!
