  • 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.

    In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the

    helper.

    Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname(). Hope I picked all the
    right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c. These are now changed to
    utsname() (the per-process namespace utsname) in the previous

  • 9442e691e   [PATCH] maximum latency tracking: ALSA support ... Browse Code »

    Add maximum latency tracking to the ALSA subsystem for PCM playback. In
    ALSA, the playback application controls the buffer size and thus indirectly
    the period of latency that it can deal with. This patch uses 75% of the
    total available latency as threshold to announce to the latency subsystem;
    While 75% is a crude heuristic it's a quite reasonable one; the remaining
    25% can be used for all driver processing for the next samples which is
    also proportional to the size of the buffer.

    With ogg123 a latency setting of about 4msec was seen (at 44Khz), while
    with the "play" command a much longer maximum tolerable latency was seen.
    Other, more multimedia oriented players as well as games, will have a lot
    smaller buffers to allow better synchronization and those will actually get
    into the latency domains where there is impact on the power management
    rules.
