  • Now that we have a custom printf format specifier, convert users of
    full_name to use %pOF instead. This is preparation to remove storing
    of the full path string for each node.

  • Drivers should include asm/pci-bridge.h only when they need the arch-
    specific things provided there. Outside of the arch/ directories, the only
    drivers that actually need things provided by asm/pci-bridge.h are the
    powerpc RPA hotplug drivers in drivers/pci/hotplug/rpa*.

    Remove the includes of asm/pci-bridge.h from the other drivers, adding an
    include of linux/pci.h if necessary.

  • ppc has special instruction forms to efficiently load and store values
    in non-native endianness. These can be accessed via the arch-specific
    {ld,st}_le{16,32}() inlines in arch/powerpc/include/asm/swab.h.

    However, gcc is perfectly capable of generating the byte-reversing
    load/store instructions when using the normal, generic cpu_to_le*() and
    le*_to_cpu() functions eaning the arch-specific functions don't have much
    point.

    Worse the "le" in the names of the arch specific functions is now
    misleading, because they always generate byte-reversing forms, but some
    ppc machines can now run a little-endian kernel.

    To start getting rid of the arch-specific forms, this patch removes them
    from all the old Power Macintosh drivers, replacing them with the
    generic byteswappers.

  • Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
    with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
    critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

    The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
    equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
    with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

    Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
    struct Scsi_Host *
    and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
    void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

    Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
    and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.

    Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
    needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

  • Grant patches added an of mach table to struct device_driver. However,
    while he changed the macio device code to use that, he left the match
    table pointer in struct macio_driver and didn't update drivers to use
    the "new" one, thus breaking the probing.

    This completes the change by moving all drivers to setup the "new"
    one, removing all traces of the old one, and while at it (since it
    changes the exact same locations), I also remove two other duplicates
    from struct driver which are the name and owner fields.

  • Commit 5fd29d6ccbc98884569d6f3105aeca70858b3e0f ("printk: clean up
    handling of log-levels and newlines") changed printk semantics. printk
    lines with multiple KERN_ prefixes are no longer emitted as
    before the patch.

    is now included in the output on each additional use.

    Remove all uses of multiple KERN_s in formats.

  • With the sg table code, every SCSI driver is now either chain capable
    or broken (or has sg_tablesize set so chaining is never activated), so
    there's no need to have a check in the host template.

    Also tidy up the code by moving the scatterlist size defines into the
    SCSI includes and permit the last entry of the scatterlist pools not
    to be a power of two.

  • 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.

  • The pre-parsed addrs/n_addrs fields in struct device_node are finally
    gone. Remove the dodgy heuristics that did that parsing at boot and
    remove the fields themselves since we now have a good replacement with
    the new OF parsing code. This patch also fixes a bunch of drivers to use
    the new code instead, so that at least pmac32, pseries, iseries and g5
    defconfigs build.

  • This converts the usage of struct of_match to struct of_device_id,
    similar to pci_device_id. This allows a device table to be generated,
    which can be parsed by depmod(8) to generate a map file for module
    loading.

    In order for hotplug to work with macio devices, patches to
    module-init-tools and hotplug must be applied. Those patches are
    available at:

  • 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!
