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 biggest change is that ata_host_set is renamed to ata_host.
* ata_host_set => ata_host
* ata_probe_ent->host_flags => ata_probe_ent->port_flags
* ata_probe_ent->host_set_flags => ata_probe_ent->_host_flags
* ata_host_stats => ata_port_stats
* ata_port->host => ata_port->scsi_host
* ata_port->host_set => ata_port->host
* ata_port_info->host_flags => ata_port_info->flags
* ata_(.*)host_set(.*)\(\) => ata_\1host\2()
The leading underscore in ata_probe_ent->_host_flags is to avoid
reusing ->host_flags for different purpose. Currently, the only user
of the field is libata-bmdma.c and probe_ent itself is scheduled to be
removed.
ata_port->host is reused for different purpose but this field is used
inside libata core proper and of different type.

We don't need to use the heavier spin lock in the irq handler.
It's quite possible we can do this in nv_generic_interrupt() as well,

nf2/3 and ck804 have irq status register. Implement better irq
handler for those flavors of nv. This patch makes different flavors
of nv controllers use different irq handlers by using separate

This change also makes following EH and hotplug updates easier to

We need to pass the device in order to do per device checks such as
32bit I/O enables. With the changes to include dev->ap we now don't have
to add parameters however just clean them up. Also add data_xfer methods
to the existing drivers except ata_piix (which is in the other block of
patches). If you reject the piix one just add a data_xfer to it...

Overriding the whole EH code is a per-transport, not per-host thing.
Move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class, same as
->eh_timed_out.
Downside is that scsi_host_alloc can't check for the total lack of EH
anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is
long gone already.

This patch works around a problem with spurious interrupts seen at boot time when
a MAXTOR 6H500F0 drive is present. An ATA interrupt condition is mysteriously
present at start of day. If we took too long in issuing the first command,
the kernel would basically get tired of the spurious interrupts and turn the interrupt
off. Issuing the first command essentially causes the interrupt condition to
get acknowledged.
I haven't seen this happen with any other drives.
What I basically do is ack ATA status by reading it regardless of whether we're
expecting to have to handle an interrupt. This clears the start-of-day anomalous
interrupt condition, and keeps the kernel from disabling that interrupt due to
too many spurious interrupts.
Also, I fixed a bug where hotplug interrupts weren't getting acknowledged as handled
in the ISR. This was not the cause of the spurious interrupts, but it's the right
thing to do anyway.

This redoes the n_ports logic I proposed before as a bitmask.
ata_pci_init_native_mode is now used with a mask allowing for mixed mode
stuff later on. ata_pci_init_legacy_port is called with port number and
does one port now not two. Instead it is called twice by the ata init
logic which cleans both of them up.
There are stil limits in the original code left over
- IRQ/port mapping for legacy mode should be arch specific values
- You can have one legacy mode IDE adapter per PCI root bridge on some systems
- Doesn't handle mixed mode devices yet (but is now a lot closer to it)

- changes license of all code from OSL+GPL to plain ole GPL

- copyright holders were already contacted privately
- adds info in each driver about where hardware/protocol docs may be
obtained
- where I have made major contributions, updated copyright dates
Interrupts from devices sharing the same IRQ could cause
ata_host_intr to finish commands being processed by atapi_packet_task
if the commands are using ATA_PROT_ATAPI_NODATA or ATA_PROT_ATAPI_DMA
protocol. This is because libata interrupt handler is unaware that
interrupts are not expected during that period. This patch adds
ATA_FLAG_NOINTR flag to tell the interrupt handler that we're not
expecting interrupts.
Note that once proper HSM is implemented for interrupt-driven PIO,
this should be merged into it and this flag will be removed.
ahci.c is a different kind of beast, so it's left alone.
* The following drivers use ata_qc_issue_prot and ata_interrupt, so

They need this change to work correctly.

Jens Axboe pointed out that the iounmap() call in libata was occurring
too early, and some drivers (ahci, probably others) were using ioremap'd
memory after it had been unmapped.
The patch should address that problem by way of improving the libata
driver API:
* move ->host_stop() call after all ->port_stop() calls have occurred.
* create default helper function ata_host_stop(), and move iounmap()
call there.
* add ->host_stop_prewalk() hook, use it in sata_qstor.c (hi Mark).
sata_qstor appears to require the host-stop-before-port-stop ordering
that existed prior to applying the attached patch.
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!
