d2287f5ebe irq: update all arches for new irq_desc, fix
Impact: fix build errors

Since the SPARSE IRQS changes redefined how the kstat irqs are
organized, arch's must use the new accessor function:

	kstat_incr_irqs_this_cpu(irq, DESC);

If CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS is set, then DESC is a pointer to the
irq_desc which has a pointer to the kstat_irqs.  If not, then
the .irqs field of struct kernel_stat is used instead.

97dcb82de6 [MIPS] Define MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE in generic header
The irq_base for {mips,rm7k,rm9k}_cpu_irq_init() are constant on all
platforms and are same value on most platforms (0 or 16, depends on
CONFIG_I8259).  Define them in asm-mips/mach-generic/irq.h and make
them customizable.  This will save a few cycle on each CPU interrupt.

A good side effect is removing some dependencies to MALTA in generic
SMTC code.

Although MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE is customizable, this patch changes irq
mappings on DDB5477, EMMA2RH and MIPS_SIM, since really customizing
them might cause some header dependency problem and there seems no
good reason to customize it.  So currently only VR41XX is using custom
MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE value, which is 0 regardless of CONFIG_I8259.

Testing this patch on those platforms is greatly appreciated.  Thank
you.

  default routines provided by irq_chip_set_defaults() were suitable.
* Remove redundant irq_desc initializations.
* Remove unnecessary local_irq_save/local_irq_restore, spin_lock.

With this cleanup, it would be easy to switch to slightly lightwait
irq flow handlers (handle_level_irq(), etc.) instead of __do_IRQ().

Though whole this patch is quite large, changes in each irq_chip are
not quite simple.  Please review and test on your platform.  Thanks.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
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.

9ec52099e4 [PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid
There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled.  The
ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them.  It kills a task, usually init, using a
cached pid (cad_pid).

This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
problem.  The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
modified through systctl with

	/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid

[ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]

It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

d1bef4ed5f [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.

While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.

The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.

This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.

As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.

The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.

We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.

This patch:

rename desc->handler to desc->chip.

Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.

I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.

So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.

This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.
