2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
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.

2006-09-27USB: gmidi: New USB MIDI Gadget class driver.Ben Williamson
This driver is glue between the USB gadget interface and the ALSA MIDI interface. It allows us to appear as a MIDI Streaming device to a host system on the other end of a USB cable. This includes linux/usb/audio.h and linux/usb/midi.h containing definitions from the relevant USB specifications for USB audio and USB MIDI devices. The following changes have been made since the first RFC posting: * Bug fixes to endpoint handling. * Workaround for USB_REQ_SET_CONFIGURATION handling, not understood yet. * Added SND and SND_RAWMIDI dependencies in Kconfig. * Moved usb_audio.h and usb_midi.h to usb/*.h * Added module parameters for ALSA card index and id. * Added module parameters for USB descriptor IDs and strings. * Removed some unneeded stuff inherited from zero.c, more to go. * Provide DECLARE_* macros for the variable-length structs. * Use kmalloc instead of usb_ep_alloc_buffer. * Limit source to 80 columns. * Return actual error code instead of -ENOMEM in a few places.

2006-07-12[PATCH] USB: move usb-serial.h to include/linux/usb/Greg Kroah-Hartman
USB serial outside of the kernel tree can not build properly due to usb-serial.h being buried down in the source tree. This patch moves the location of the file to include/linux/usb and fixes up all of the usb serial drivers to handle the move properly.
