[POWERPC] mpic: set IPIs to be per-CPU

2007-02-16T03:00:19Z

This patch changes the MPIC IPIs to be per-CPU to avoid getting a warning ("Cannot set affinity for irq 251") when taking a CPU offline via sysfs or during suspend. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Move MPIC smp routines into mpic.c

2007-02-14T00:50:04Z

Move a couple of MPIC smp routines into mpic.c, they're inside an SMP block in mpic.c - so they're still only built for SMP. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] MPIC: support more than 256 sources

2007-02-07T03:03:19Z

Allow more than the default 256 MPIC sources. Allocates a new flag (MPIC_LARGE_VECTORS) to be used by platform code when instantiating the mpic. I picked 11 bits worth right now since it would cover the number of sources on any hardware I have seen. It can always be increased later if needed.

[POWERPC] arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c of_node_get cleanup

2007-01-24T10:13:57Z

No need for ?: because of_node_get() can handle NULL argument. Signed-off-by: Mariusz Kozlowski Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

PCI: Only check the HT capability bits in mpic.c

2006-12-20T18:54:43Z

Only compare the exact HT capability bits against HT_CAPTYPE_IRQ, this is a little paranoid, but doesn't hurt. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[POWERPC] Improve MPIC driver auto-configuration from DT

2006-12-04T05:08:41Z

This patch applies on top of the MPIC DCR support. It makes the MPIC driver capable of a lot more auto-configuration based on the device-tree, for example, it can retreive it's own physical address if not passed as an argument, find out if it's DCR or MMIO mapped, and set the BIG_ENDIAN flag automatically in the presence of a "big-endian" property in the device-tree node.

[POWERPC] Support for DCR based MPIC

2006-12-04T05:08:35Z

This patch implements support for DCR based MPIC implementations. Such implementations have the MPIC_USES_DCR flag set and don't use the phys_addr argument of mpic_alloc (they require a valid dcr mapping in the device node) This version of the patch can use a little bif of cleanup still (I can probably consolidate rb->dbase/doff, at least once I'm sure on how the hardware is actually supposed to work vs. possible simulator issues) and it should be possible to build a DCR-only version of the driver. I need to cleanup a bit the CONFIG_* handling for that and probably introduce CONFIG_MPIC_MMIO and CONFIG_MPIC_DCR. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Fix up after irq changes

2006-10-07T12:08:26Z

Remove struct pt_regs * from all handlers. Also remove the regs argument from get_irq() functions. Compile tested with arch/powerpc/config/* and arch/ppc/configs/prep_defconfig Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12Z

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. Signed-Off-By: David Howells (cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)
