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.

2006-08-03[ALSA] aoa: platform function gpio: ignore errors from functions that don't ↵Johannes Berg
exist Sometimes we simply want to turn off or on everything, and when recently a warning was added when a certain platform function can't be called, this triggered all the time in those cases. This patch shows the warning only if the error was different from the function not existing. The alternative would be to not even try calling the function when it doesn't exist by first checking which exist and then only calling those that do, but that adds complexity that isn't necessary.

2006-08-03[ALSA] aoa: feature gpio layer: fix IRQ accessJohannes Berg
The IRQ rework caused some hiccups here, in some cases we call get_irq without a device node. This patch makes it catch that case and return NO_IRQ when it happens, along with changing the place where the irq is checked to check for NO_IRQ instead of -1.

2006-07-31[POWERPC] sound: Constify & voidify get_property()Jeremy Kerr
Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can constify get_property later. powerpc-specific sound driver changes. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-07-03[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use itBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one. Because there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus), etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later in bisecting). This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the new code now. For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match any device node that isn't a 8259. That works fine on pSeries and avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees. The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node (including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't have a proper interrupt tree.

2006-06-28[ALSA] snd-aoa: enable dual-edge in GPIOsJohannes Berg
Apparently some firmware versions forget enabling the dual-edge bit, snd-powermac did that too and even OSX does sometimes. This should fix headphone plug detection on those machines.

2006-06-22[ALSA] snd-aoa: add snd-aoaJohannes Berg
This large patch adds all of snd-aoa. Consisting of many modules, it currently replaces snd-powermac for all layout-id based machines and handles many more (for example new powerbooks and powermacs with digital output that previously couldn't be used at all). It also has support for all layout-IDs that Apple has (judging from their Info.plist file) but not all are tested. The driver currently has 2 known regressions over snd-powermac: * it doesn't handle powermac 7,2 and 7,3 * it doesn't have a DRC control on snapper-based machines I will fix those during the 2.6.18 development cycle.
