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.

To transport scsi reset command to device aic7xxx reset handler looks
at the driver's pending_list and searches any proper command. However
the search condition has been inverted: ahc_match_scb() returns TRUE
if a matched command is found. As a result the reset on required
devices did not turn out well, a correctly working neighbour device
may be surprised by the reset. aic7xxx reset handler reports about the
success, but really the original situation is not corrected yet.

In these drivers, scsi_remove_host() is called too late, at the point
it is called, the driver has already shut down too far to accept any
I/O that the shutdown might generate. Any generated I/O actually
triggers a panic.
Fix this by calling scsi_remove_host() as early as possible and not
calling scsi_host_put() until just before we kfree the ahc_softc.

Several people noticed we dropped quite a bit on benchmark figures.
OK, it was my fault but unfortunately I discovered I ran out of brown
paper bags a while ago and forgot to reorder them.
The issue is that a construct introduced in the conversion of the
driver to use the transport class keyed off whether the block request
was tagged or not. However, the aic7xxx driver doesn't properly set
up the block layer TCQ (it uses the wrong API), so the driver now
things all requests are untagged and we keep it to a queue depth of a
single element. Oops.
The fix is to use the correct TCQ API.

The allocation of all of our components should be done in slave alloc.
Currently it's rather fancifully refcounted in the queuecommand
callback. This patch moves allocation and destroy to their correct
places in slave_alloc/slave_destory. Now we can guarantee that
everywhere a device is requested, it's actually been allocated, so don't
check for this anymore.
Additionally, the per device busy timer was the only source of potential
use after free. It's been deleted because Linux does the correct thing
with busy returns, so there's no need to implement a separate timer in
the driver.
Finally, implement code that forces all the device parameters to zero
(i.e. async and narrow) in the slave alloc, inform the spi class of the
bios recorded maximums and wait until slave configure before trying
anything more adventurous.
