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.

(cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)
In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the
appropriate one to use. This patch replaces those with a the init_utsname
helper.
Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname(). Hope I picked all the
right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c. These are now changed to
utsname() (the per-process namespace utsname) in the previous
patch (2/7)

Stall error handler if attempting resets/aborts while an rport is blocked.
This avoids device offline scenarios due to errors in the error handler.
Background:
Although the transport is using the scsi_timed_out functionality to
restart the timeout if the rport is blocked, if the timeout has already
fired before the block occurs, the eh handler still runs and can take
the device offline. Ultimately, this window cannot be resolved without
significant work in the error handler thread. Christoph noted the first
level of these issues when he noted the poor error response handling
by the error thread.
We found, under heavy load and error testing, that time window from when
the scsi_times_out() adds the io to the queue to when the scsi_error_handler
gets around to servicing it, can be in the several seconds range. In most
cases, these test conditions are highly unusual, but possible.
As a result, we're stalling the error handler in this race window so that
we can avoid the device_offline transitions.

Introduce lpfc_reset_barrier() function for resets on dual channel adapters
Workaround for a hardware errata on dual channel asics. There is a
potential for the chip to lock up on a reset if a shared dma engine is in
use. The (ugly) work around requires a reset process which uses a mailbox
command to synchronize the independent channels prior to the reset to
avoid the issue. Unfortunately, the timing windows required to ensure this
workaround succeeds are very specific, meaning we can't release the cpu
during the barrier.
