[PATCH] Declare init_irq_proc before we use it.

2007-02-19T22:21:50Z

powerpc gets: init/main.c: In function `do_basic_setup': init/main.c:714: warning: implicit declaration of function `init_irq_proc' but we cannot include linux/irq.h in generic code. Fix it by moving the declaration into linux/interrupt.h instead. And make sure all code that defines init_irq_proc() is including linux/interrupt.h.

[PATCH] hrtimers: add high resolution timer support

2007-02-16T16:13:59Z

Implement high resolution timers on top of the hrtimers infrastructure and the clockevents / tick-management framework. This provides accurate timers for all hrtimer subsystem users.

[PATCH] Add irq flag to disable balancing for an interrupt

2007-02-16T16:13:56Z

Add a flag so we can prevent the irq balancing of an interrupt. Move the bits, so we have room for more :) Necessary for the ability to setup clocksources more flexible (e.g. use the different HPET channels per CPU) Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: john stultz Cc: Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

devres: device resource management

2007-02-09T22:39:36Z

Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

[PATCH] sched: use softirq for load balancing

2006-12-10T17:55:42Z

Call rebalance_tick (renamed to run_rebalance_domains) from a newly introduced softirq. We calculate the earliest time for each layer of sched domains to be rescanned (this is the rescan time for idle) and use the earliest of those to schedule the softirq via a new field "next_balance" added to struct rq.

[PATCH] add bottom_half.h

2006-12-07T16:39:20Z

With CONFIG_SMP=n: drivers/input/ff-memless.c:384: warning: implicit declaration of function 'local_bh_disable' drivers/input/ff-memless.c:393: warning: implicit declaration of function 'local_bh_enable' Really linux/spinlock.h should include linux/interrupt.h. But interrupt.h includes sched.h which will need spinlock.h. So the patch breaks the _bh declarations out into a separate header and includes it in both interrupt.h and spinlock.h.

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)

[PATCH] lockdep: core, add enable/disable_irq_irqsave/irqrestore() APIs

2006-09-29T16:18:20Z

Introduce the disable_irq_nosync_lockdep_irqsave() and enable_irq_lockdep_irqrestore() APIs. These are needed for NE2000; basically NE2000 calls disable_irq and enable_irq as locking against the IRQ handler, but both in cases where interrupts are on and off. This means that lockdep needs to track the old state of the virtual irq flags on disable_irq, and restore these at enable_irq time.
