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.

Change the 5th argument of snd_mpu401_uart_new() to bit flags
instead of a boolean. The argument takes bits that consist of
MPU401_INFO_XXX flags.
The callers that used the value 1 there are replaced with
MPU401_INFO_INTEGRATED.

Modules: AZT3328 driver
this is now an even much more reworked patch (#3) for my azt3328.c ALSA driver.
IOW I spent another 4 evenings to get the sequencer timer to work properly
(my head is still hurting) and do lots of other cleanups.
Note that despite the extensive sequencer timer additions, the driver object
is still only 2kB bigger than the previous version, due to those many
optimizations...
Changes in version #3:
- fully working ALSA sequencer timer support for the card's 1024000Hz
DirectX timer (downscaling adjustable via seqtimer_scaling module param)
- an insane amount of code optimizations
- many, many cleanups
Changes in version #2:
- FOUND the 1us DirectX timer area (yay!), made the code respect it
properly
- renamed some 'weird' mixer control names according to ControlNames.txt
- cleanup unneeded debug messages, reformatting
- improved I/O register documentation
- constified many more structs
Changes in version #1:
- improves/fixes some fatal playback/recording interaction
- improves IRQ handler performance (and actually fixes some weird code)
- coalesces some I/O accesses
- slightly improves I/O interface documentation
- improves/fixes logging
- defines out some less important debug code
- constifies some data

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!
