  • 05ad709d0   parport: quickfix the proc registration bug ... Browse Code »

    Ideally we should have a directory of drivers and a link to the 'active'
    driver. For now just show the first device which is effectively the existing
    semantics without a warning.

    This is an update on the original buggy patch that I then forgot to
    resubmit. Confusingly it was proposed by Red Hat, written by Etched Pixels
    fixed and submitted by Intel ...

  • 25398a158   sysctl: parport remove binary paths ... Browse Code »

    The sysctl binary paths don't look as if they even code work, .data is not
    filled in, and all of the proc_handlers look at extra1 and there is not
    strategy routine.

    So just kill the binary paths.

    In addition this patch removes the setting of extra1 on directories. It
    doesn't look like the parport code ever examines it, and it's bad sysctl form.

  • c15a3837d   parport->dev driver model support ... Browse Code »

    Currently a parport_driver can't get a handle on the device node for the
    underlying parport (PNPACPI, PCI, etc). That prevents correct placement of
    sysfs child nodes, which can affect things like power management.

    This patch adds a field to "struct parport" pointing to that device node, and
    updates non-legacy port drivers to initialize that device pointer. That field
    replaces the analagous PCI-only support in parport_pc.

  • 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.

    Add support for the built-in parallel port on SGI O2 (a.k.a. IP32).
    Define a new configuration option: PARPORT_IP32. The module is named
    parport_ip32.

    Hardware support for SPP, EPP and ECP modes along with DMA support when
    available are currently implemented.

    Did not move the parport interface properly into IEEE1284_PH_REV_IDLE phase at
    end of data due to comparing bytes with nibbles. Internal phase
    IEEE1284_PH_HBUSY_DNA became unused, so remove 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!
