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.

Added CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE kernel config to enable the support
of aggressive AC97 power-saving mode. In this mode, the AC97
powerdown register bits are dynamically controlled at each open/close
of PCM streams.
The mode is activated via power_save option for snd-ac97-codec
driver. As default it's off. It can be turned on/off on the fly
via sysfs, too.

UpstreamStatus: Not merged
Christian Bjalevik reports in LP#38546 that his sound chipset requires
the 'hp_only' quirk to allow him to control sound volume correctly when
headphones are inserted. This patch adds the appropriate pci id to the
via82xx ALSA driver so that the quirk is applied automatically, thereby
removing the need for users to modify /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (or to
unload and reload snd-via82xx with ac97_quirk=hp_only).
This patch closes LP#38546.

Move the workaround for the VT8251 up a bit, and check for STAT_EOL
rather than STAT_ACTIVE. This resolves issues some people were having
with certain ALSA clients (and allows the STAT_ACTIVE check to do what
it was intended to do).

Modules: VIA82xx driver
The change only affects the via823x kind of chips.
Here the via8233_pcm_pointer_hw() function
(named snd_via8233_pcm_pointer() before)
needed to loop until a non zero position is red from the chip.
Measurements have shown that more than 200 loops are typically needed on
an Athlon64.
As io-reads cost many cycles, those loops sum up huge.
via8233_pcm_pointer_hw() runs either in interrupt or with interrupts
disabled. So it introduces significant interrupt latency.
The patch introduces a calculated position value hwptr_done,
that is updated by the interrupt routine when a period is completed.
It is only used, if the 823x chip returns a zero position, which can't
be interpreted reliably.
Further optimisation is applied on the 8233 chip's interrupt routine:
Only the SGD_SHADOW is read, as it contains all infos needed.
We ommit ~5 more register reads that way.
