[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58+00:00

Run this: #!/bin/sh for f in $(grep -Erl "$[^$]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do echo "De-casting $f..." perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?$[^$]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f done And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers to non-pointers. And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

[PATCH] Fix numerous kcalloc() calls, convert to kzalloc()

2006-12-13T17:05:52+00:00

All kcalloc() calls of the form "kcalloc(1,...)" are converted to the equivalent kzalloc() calls, and a few kcalloc() calls with the incorrect ordering of the first two arguments are fixed.

[PATCH] paravirt: Allow disable power management under hypervisor

2006-12-07T01:14:08+00:00

Two legacy power management modes are much easier to just explicitly disable when running in paravirtualized mode - neither APM nor PnP is still relevant. The status of ACPI is still debatable, and noacpi is still a common enough boot parameter that it is not necessary to explicitly disable ACPI.

Fix DMA resource allocation in ACPIPnP

2006-10-18T18:36:11+00:00

The ACPIPnP implementation had the understanding of Linux resource flags very wrong, resulting in a nonfunctional implementation of DMA resource allocation. This was usually not a problem, since almost no on-board PnP devices use ISA DMA, with the exception of ECP parallel ports. Even with that, parallel port DMA is preconfigured by the BIOS, so this routine isn't normally called. Except in the case where somebody does 'rmmod parport_pc; modprobe parport_pc', where the rmmod case disables the ECP parallel port resources, and they need to be enabled again to initialize the module. This didn't work, resulting in a non-printing printer. The application doing exactly the above to force reprobing of printers is the YaST printer module. Thus without this fix YaST wedged the printer when configuring it, and was not able to print a test page.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00

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. Signed-Off-By: David Howells (cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)
