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.

(cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)
The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does
not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and
a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at
upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier,
without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately".
The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but
it's not always available.
I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb").
Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much
breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.

This updates the handling of power state for USB interfaces.
- Formalizes an existing invariant: interface "power state" is a boolean:
ON when I/O is allowed, and FREEZE otherwise. It does so by defining
some inlined helpers, then using them.
- Adds a useful invariant: the only interfaces marked active are those
bound to non-suspended drivers. Later patches build on this invariant.
- Simplifies the interface driver API (and removes some error paths) by
removing the requirement that they record power state changes during
suspend and resume callbacks. Now usbcore does that.
A few drivers were simplified to address that last change.

This patch moves the ASIX AX8817x driver into its own file, just using
the "usbnet" infrastructure as a utility library.
- As with "cdc_subset" this involved minor Kconfig/kbuild tweaks,
moving code from one file to another, and exporting a few functions.
- This includes updates from Jamie Painter to add (and use) a new hook
to handle the different maximum transfer sizes for rx and tx sides.
- Also from Jamie, some bugfixes:
* MDIO byteorder (to address some PPC media negotiation problems);
* Force alignment at key spots when using ax88772 framing (on some
embedded hardware, the network stack will break otherwise);
* Address some link reset problems.
It also makes this driver use the standard (5 seconds vs half second)
control timeouts used elsewhere in USB; and wraps a few lines before
the 80th column (which previously needed it).

This patch creates the first of several separate "minidriver" modules
for "usbnet". This one handles only the very simplest hardware, which
can be handled almost entirely by the "usbnet" core.
- Move device-specific bits into new "cdc_subset.c" driver,
shrinking "usbnet" by a bunch;
- Export the functions needed to support this minidriver
(with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL);
- Update Kconfig and kbuild accordingly.
This one handles about a dozen different device types, with the most
notable ones being Gumstix and most Linux-based PDAs (except Zaurus
running that ancient code from Sharp).

This starts to prepare the core of "usbnet" to know less about various
framing protocols that map Ethernet packets onto USB, so "minidrivers"
can be modules that just plug into the core.
- Remove some framing-specific code that cluttered the core:
* net->hard_header_len records how much space to preallocate;
now drivers that add their own framing (Net1080, GeneLink,
Zaurus, and RNDIS) will have smoother TX paths. Even for
the drivers (Zaurus, Net1080) that need trailers.
* defines new dev->hard_mtu, using this "hardware" limit to
check changes to the link's settable "software" mtu.
* now net->hard_header_len and dev->hard_mtu are set up in the
driver bind() routines, if needed.
- Transaction ID is no longer specific to the Net1080 framing;
RNDIS needs one too.
- Creates a new "usbnet.h" header with declarations that are shared
between the core and what will be separate modules.
- Plus a couple other minor tweaks, like recognizing -ESHUTDOWN
means the keventd work should just shut itself down asap.
The core code is only about 1/3 of this large file. Splitting out the
minidrivers into separate modules (e.g. ones for ASIX adapters,
Zaurii and similar, CDC Ethernet, etc), in later patches, will
improve maintainability and shrink typical runtime footprints.

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."
Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is

which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

- Two tweaks to the pseudo-MDLM support:
* correctly handle _either_ of the two GUIDs
* ignore a padding bit that doesn't seem necessary

This is a somewhat more comprehensive fix for the problem of devices
like the newer Zaurii ... or in this case some Motorola cell phones.
To recap, the problem's root cause is that these devices aren't using
standard USB class specifications for their network links, and so far
we've had to add lots of device-specific driver entries. The vendor
fix abuses the CDC MDLM descriptors (they _could_ have conformed to
the spec, but didn't) and defines a "Belcarra firmware" pseudo-class.
This patch recognizes that pseudo-class by the GUIDs in those descriptors,
and handles the devices that just use the Zaurus framing.

This is the first of a few installments of PM API updates to match the
recent switch to "pm_message_t". This installment primarily affects
USB device drivers (for USB interfaces), and it changes the handful of
drivers which currently implement suspend methods:
- <linux/usb.h> and usbcore, signature change
- Some drivers only changed the signature, net effect this just
shuts up "sparse -Wbitwise":
* hid-core
* stir4200
- Two network drivers did that, and also grew slightly more
featureful suspend code ... they now properly shut down
their activities. (As should stir4200...)
* pegasus
* usbnet
Note that the Wake-On-Lan (WOL) support in pegasus doesn't yet work; looks
