For the common, open coded 'skb->mac.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->mac.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.
This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more
"complex" cases.

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

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.

ok this appears to be hostap playing games... it has 2 network devices
for one piece of hardware and one calls the other via the networking
layer; there is thankfully a natural ordering between the two, so just
making the slave one a separate type ought to make this work.

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.
A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.
There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

Unregister all netdevs before freeing local data. I was unable to

be a race condition with this, better make it less likely to happen by
unregistering the netdevs first.

PCI version of Prism2.5/3 has undocumented DMA support for TX/RX data,
but this seems to have some hardware bugs that prevent it from being
used properly for TX. RX side could possibly be made to work reliably.
Even though DMA support would be very useful for saving host CPU (from
about 40% to 5-10% when operating at maximum throughput), it seems to
be best to just remove this code finally. The implementation has
always been commented out by default and has received very limited
testing. The code may have already been broken number of times and I
don't have much interested in trying to verify whether it works or
not. Getting this out makes it easier to maintain the driver and
allows some cleanups that have been partly postponed because of this
experimental bus master/DMA code.

Warning fix for 64-bit platforms
Hello!
The patch fixes following warning seen on 64-bit platforms (in my case -
x86_64, gcc-4.0):
In file included from /usr/local/src/hostap/driver/modules/hostap_cs.c:203:
/usr/local/src/hostap/driver/modules/hostap_hw.c: In function ?prism2_transmit_cb?:
/usr/local/src/hostap/driver/modules/hostap_hw.c:1674: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
/usr/local/src/hostap/driver/modules/hostap_hw.c: In function ?prism2_transmit?:
/usr/local/src/hostap/driver/modules/hostap_hw.c:1758: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
prism2_transmit_cb uses a (void *) argument to get an integer. A
simple fix would be to use double cast from pointer to long and then to
int (and vice versa when int is passed as a pointer). But I prefer a
slightly longer patch.
I believe that whenever an argument can hold both a pointer and an
integer, it should be declared long. long can hold both pointers and
integers (except win64, but we are not coding for Windows), it can be
cast to both of them and it's never assumed to be a valid pointer, which
could be useful for some automatic code checkers.

Create sysfs "device" files for hostap
I was writing some scripts to automatically build kismet source lines,
and I noticed that hostap devices don't have device files, unlike my
prism54 and ipw2200 cards:
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/eth0/device
/sys/class/net/eth0/device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.0
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/wifi0
ls: /sys/class/net/wifi0/device: No such file or directory
$ ls -l /sys/class/net/wlan0
ls: /sys/class/net/wlan0/device: No such file or directory
The following (quite small) patch makes sure that both the wlan and wifi
net devices have that pointer to the bus device.
This way, I can do things like
for i in /sys/class/net/*; do
if ! [ -e $i/device/drive ]; then
continue;
fi;
driver=$(basename $(readlink $i/device/driver))
case $driver in
hostap*)
echo -- hostap,$i,$i-$driver
break;
ipw2?00)
echo -- $driver,$i,$i-$driver
break;
prism54)
echo prism54g,$i
esac
done
Which should generate a working set of source lines for kismet no matter
what order I plug the cards in.
It might also be handy to have a link between the two net devices, but
that's a patch for another day.
That patch is against 2.6.13-rc1-mm1.
