[PATCH] spi section fix

2006-11-03T20:27:58+00:00

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:spi_register_board_info from __ksymtab_gpl between '__ksymtab_spi_register_board_info' (at offset 0xc032f7d0) and '__ksymtab_spi_alloc_master'

Fix this by removing the export.

Various drivers' irq handlers: kill dead code, needless casts

2006-10-06T19:00:58+00:00

- Eliminate casts to/from void*

- Eliminate checks for conditions that never occur.  These typically
  fall into two classes:

	1) Checking for 'dev_id == NULL', then it is never called with
	NULL as an argument.

	2) Checking for invalid irq number, when the only caller (the
	system) guarantees the irq handler is called with the proper
	'irq' number argument.

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

2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00

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.

[PATCH] lockdep: annotate on-stack completions

2006-07-03T22:27:09+00:00

lockdep needs to have the waitqueue lock initialized for on-stack waitqueues
implicitly initialized by DECLARE_COMPLETION().  Annotate on-stack completions
accordingly.

Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

[PATCH] SPI: infrastructure to initialize spi_device.mode early

2006-06-28T22:51:01+00:00

This patch adds earlier initialization of spi_device.mode, as needed
on boards using nondefault chipselect polarity.  An example would be
ones using the RS5C348 RTC without an external signal inverter between
the RTC chipselect and the SPI controller.

Without this mechanism, the first setup() call for that chip would
wrongly enable chips, corrupting transfers to/from other chips sharing
that SPI bus.

[PATCH] pxa2xx-spi update

2006-05-21T19:59:20+00:00

Fix some outstanding issues with the pxa2xx_spi driver when running on a
PXA270:

- Wrong timeout calculation in the setup function due to different
  peripheral clock rates in the PXAxxx family.

- Bad handling of SSSR_TFS interrupts in interrupt_transfer function.

- Added locking to interface between the pump_messages workqueue and the
  pump_transfers tasklet.

Much thanks to Juergen Beisert for the extensive testing on the PXA270.
