Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_type

2010-03-08T01:04:49Z

Constify struct sysfs_ops. This is part of the ops structure constification effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al. Benefits of this constification: * prevents modification of data that is shared (referenced) by many other structure instances at runtime * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional) modification attempts on archs that enforce read-only kernel data at runtime * potentially better optimized code as the compiler can assume that the const data cannot be changed * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata and therefore exclude them from false sharing Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy Acked-by: David Teigland Acked-by: Matt Domsch Acked-by: Maciej Sosnowski Acked-by: Hans J.

sh: Fix up more 64-bit pgprot truncation on SH-X2 TLB.

2010-02-17T04:23:00Z

Both the store queue API and the PMB remapping take unsigned long for their pgprot flags, which cuts off the extended protection bits. In the case of the PMB this isn't really a problem since the cache attribute bits that we care about are all in the lower 32-bits, but we do it just to be safe. The store queue remapping on the other hand depends on the extended prot bits for enabling userspace access to the mappings. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

sh: Mass ctrl_in/outX to __raw_read/writeX conversion.

2010-01-26T03:58:40Z

The old ctrl in/out routines are non-portable and unsuitable for cross-platform use. While drivers/sh has already been sanitized, there is still quite a lot of code that is not. This converts the arch/sh/ bits over, which permits us to flag the routines as deprecated whilst still building with -Werror for the architecture code, and to ensure that future users are not added.

sh: Handle SH-4 FPU variants with broken CVR values.

2010-01-19T18:38:56Z

Usually we can look to the CVR to work out whether we have an FPU or not. Unfortunately not all parts comply with this, so just set the flag manually for all SH-4 parts and clear it on the only SH-4 that doesn't have one (SH4-501). Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

sh: Fix up L2 cache comment typo.

2010-01-13T09:37:19Z

Valid sizes include 256kB, not 258kB. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

sh: PVR detection for 2nd cut SH7786.

2010-01-13T07:35:58Z

The mass produced cuts use an updated PVR value, add them to the list. Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

sh: Move over to dynamically allocated FPU context.

2010-01-13T03:51:40Z

This follows the x86 xstate changes and implements a task_xstate slab cache that is dynamically sized to match one of hard FP/soft FP/FPU-less. This also tidies up and consolidates some of the SH-2A/SH-4 FPU fragmentation. Now fpu state restorers are commonly defined, with the init_fpu()/fpu_init() mess reworked to follow the x86 convention. The fpu_init() register initialization has been replaced by xstate setup followed by writing out to hardware via the standard restore path. As init_fpu() now performs a slab allocation a secondary lighterweight restorer is also introduced for the context switch. In the future the DSP state will be rolled in here, too. More work remains for math emulation and the SH-5 FPU, which presently uses its own special (UP-only) interfaces. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

sh: sh4 scif pdata (sh7750/sh7760/sh4-202)

2009-12-15T03:06:33Z

This patch breaks out the sh4 scif serial port platform data from a shared platform device to one platform device per port. Also, add serial ports to the list of early platform devices. While at it, get rid of the R2D ifdef in the processor code and adjust the defconfigs to use ttySC1. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

sh: Minor optimisations to FPU handling

2009-11-24T08:45:38Z

A number of small optimisations to FPU handling, in particular: - move the task USEDFPU flag from the thread_info flags field (which is accessed asynchronously to the thread) to a new status field, which is only accessed by the thread itself. This allows locking to be removed in most cases, or can be reduced to a preempt_lock(). This mimics the i386 behaviour. - move the modification of regs->sr and thread_info->status flags out of save_fpu() to __unlazy_fpu(). This gives the compiler a better chance to optimise things, as well as making save_fpu() symmetrical with restore_fpu() and init_fpu(). - implement prepare_to_copy(), so that when creating a thread, we can unlazy the FPU prior to copying the thread data structures. Also make sure that the FPU is disabled while in the kernel, in particular while booting, and for newly created kernel threads, In a very artificial benchmark, the execution time for 2500000 context switches was reduced from 50 to 45 seconds.
