The PCnet32 driver always passed the the size of the largest possible packet
to the pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu and pci_dma_sync_single_for_device.
This results in a fairly large "colateral damage" in the caches and makes
the flush operation itself much slower. On a system with a 40MHz CPU this
patch increases network bandwidth by about 12%.

- Eliminate check for irq handler 'dev_id==NULL' where the
condition never occurs.

Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
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.

Implement NAPI changes to pcnet32 driver. Compile default is off.
Listed as experimental.
Len and Don both worked on a NAPI implementation and have both tested
these changes.
An e1000 blasting short packets to the pcnet32 will lockup Don's system
until the receive storm stops. Without NAPI Len's system watchdog would
expire causing the system to reboot. With NAPI the system will stay
operational.
Tested ia32 and ppc64. Tested '970A, '971, '972, '973, '975, '976, and
'978.
The Kconfig changes came from Len. Don is to blame for all the others.

Symbols such as PCI_USES_IO, PCI_ADDR0, etc. originated from Donald
Becker's net driver template, but have been long unused. Remove.
In a few drivers, this allows the further eliminate of the pci_flags (or
just plain flags) member in the template driver probe structure.
Most of this logic is simply open-coded in most drivers, since it never
changes.
Made a few other cleanups while I was in there, too:
* constify, __devinitdata several PCI ID tables
* replace table terminating entries such as "{0,}," and "{NULL},"
with a more-clean "{ }".

During a code scan for another change I discovered that this call to
pcnet32_free_ring must be removed. If the open fails due to a lack of
memory all the ring structures are removed via the call to free_ring
and a subsequent call to open will dereference a null pointer in
pcnet32_init_ring.
Please apply to 2.6.17.

The comments concerning how the pcnet32 ethernet device driver selects

Side comment: the new behaviour is good; I've got a pcnet32 card which
powers up with garbage in the CSR's, and a good MAC addr in the PROM.

The CSR contains garbage after a coldboot on RS/6000.
One some systems (like my 44p 270) the MAC address is all FF,
on others (like my B50) it is ff:ff:ff:fd:ff:6b.
It can eventually be fixed by loading pcnet32, set the interface
into the UP state, rmmod pcnet32 and load it again. But this worked
only on the 270.
Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address
via prom and CSR. This makes it very unreliable.
I dont know why the MAC is stored in two different places. Remove
the special case for powerpc, which was added in early 2.4 development.

Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.
In these situations, the code roughly looks like:
dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);
[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);
... skb->tail ...
But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.
Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.
Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

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!
