* [IA64] - Allow IPIs in timer loopJack Steiner2006-10-171-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | Allow pending IPIs to interrupt a timer interrupt that is looping in the do_timer() "while" loop in timer_interrupt(). (Interrupts are allowed at only 1 spot in the code). Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-051-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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] kill wall_jiffiesAtsushi Nemoto2006-10-011-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies. So we can kill wall_jiffies completely. This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of kill the whole "if" block.

* [PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto2006-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch) Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

* | [IA64] ia64: simplify and fix udelay()hawkes@sgi.com2006-02-151-22/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original ia64 udelay() was simple, but flawed for platforms without synchronized ITCs: a preemption and migration to another CPU during the while-loop likely resulted in too-early termination or very, very lengthy looping. The first fix (now in 2.6.15) broke the delay loop into smaller, non-preemptible chunks, reenabling preemption between the chunks. This fix is flawed in that the total udelay is computed to be the sum of just the non-premptible while-loop pieces, i.e., not counting the time spent in the interim preemptible periods. If an interrupt or a migration occurs during one of these interim periods, then that time is invisible and only serves to lengthen the effective udelay(). This new fix backs out the current flawed fix and returns to a simple udelay(), fully preemptible and interruptible. It implements two simple alternative udelay() routines: one a default generic version that uses ia64_get_itc(), and the other an sn-specific version that uses that platform's RTC.

* | [IA64] Fix CONFIG_PRINTK_TIMETony Luck2006-02-071-0/+27
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were two problems with enabling the PRINTK_TIME config option: 1) The first calls to printk() occur before per-cpu data virtual address is pinned into the TLB, so sched_clock() can fault. 2) sched_clock() is based on ar.itc, which may not be synchronized across cpus. Ken Chen started this patch, Tony Luck tinkered with it, and Jes Sorensen perfected it. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
* [IA64] disable preemption in udelay()John Hawkes2005-12-161-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The udelay() inline for ia64 uses the ITC. If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled and the platform has unsynchronized ITCs and the calling task migrates to another CPU while doing the udelay loop, then the effective delay may be too short or very, very long. This patch disables preemption around 100 usec chunks of the overall desired udelay time. This minimizes preemption-holdoffs. udelay() is now too big to be inline, move it out of line and export it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
