usbcore: remove unused argument in autosuspend

2006-12-01T22:25:53+00:00

Thanks to several earlier patches, usb_autosuspend_device() and
usb_autoresume_device() are never called with a second argument other
than 1.  This patch (as819) removes the now-redundant argument.

It also consolidates some common code between those two routines,
putting it into a new subroutine called usb_autopm_do_device().  And
it includes a sizable kerneldoc update for the affected functions.

USB: struct usb_device: change flag to bitflag

2006-12-01T22:25:52+00:00

This patch (as816) changes an existing flag in the usb_device
structure to a bitflag, preparing the way for more bitflags to come
in the future.

USB: Fixed outdated usb_get_device_descriptor() documentation

2006-11-16T22:26:12+00:00

usb_get_device_descriptor() used to convert several descriptor fields to host
CPU's byte order. Now that it doesn't convert them anymore, update the
documentation to reflect this.

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.

USB: Remove unneeded void * casts in core files

2006-09-27T18:58:59+00:00

The patch removes unneeded casts for the following (void *) pointers:
 - struct file: private
 - struct urb: context
 - struct usb_bus: hcpriv
 - return value of kmalloc()

The patch also contains some whitespace cleanup in the relevant areas.

usbcore: non-hub-specific uses of autosuspend

2006-09-27T18:58:57+00:00

This patch (as741) makes the non-hub parts of usbcore actually use the
autosuspend facilities added by an earlier patch.

	Devices opened through usbfs are autoresumed and then
	autosuspended upon close.

	Likewise for usb-skeleton.

	Devices are autoresumed for usb_set_configuration.

USB: remove struct usb_operations

2006-09-27T18:58:56+00:00

All of the currently-supported USB host controller drivers use the HCD
bus-glue framework.  As part of the program for flattening out the glue
layer, this patch (as769) removes the usb_operations structure.  All
function calls now go directly to the HCD routines (slightly renamed
to remain within the "usb_" namespace).

The patch also removes usb_alloc_bus(), because it's not useful in the
HCD framework and it wasn't referenced anywhere.
