[PATCH] n2: fix confusing error code

2006-11-01T01:22:05+00:00

modprobe n2 with no parameters or no such devices
will get confusing error message.

# modprobe n2
...  Kernel does not have module support

This patch replaces return code from -ENOSYS to -EINVAL.

Sealevel uses arp_broken_ops so it needs to depend on INET.

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] Uninitialized variable in drivers/net/wan/syncppp.c

2006-09-29T16:18:23+00:00

For len equal to 4, we never call sppp_lcp_conf_parse_options(),
therefore rmagic does not get initialized.

[PATCH] Modularize generic HDLC

2006-09-26T21:40:24+00:00

This patch enables building of individual WAN protocol support
routines (parts of generic HDLC) as separate modules.
All protocol-private definitions are moved from hdlc.h file
to protocol drivers. User-space interface and interface
between generic HDLC and underlying low-level HDLC drivers
are unchanged.
