On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter\nfrom all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path\n(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).\n\nWhere appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do\nsomething different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is\nmaintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception\nhandling.\n\nHaving looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down\nthrough up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character\ndevice attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its\ninterrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character\ndevice driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input\nlayer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.\n\nI\u0027ve build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I\u0027ve runtested the\nmain part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can\u0027t test most of the drivers.\nI\u0027ve also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile\nwith minimal configurations.\n\nThis will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.\nTake do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:\n\n\tstruct pt_regs *old_regs \u003d set_irq_regs(regs);\n\nAnd put the old one back at the end:\n\n\tset_irq_regs(old_regs);\n\nDon\u0027t pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().\n\nIn timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:\n\n\t-\tupdate_process_times(user_mode(regs));\n\t-\tprofile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);\n\t+\tupdate_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));\n\t+\tprofile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);\n\nI\u0027d like to move update_process_times()\u0027s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,\nexcept that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().\n\nSome notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:\n\n (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in\n the input_dev struct.\n\n (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.

They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.\nThis is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.\n\nWith netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner\nisn\u0027t set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held\nand xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take\nxmit_lock recursively.\n\nWhile it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use\ntrylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll\u0027s sole objective is to\nmaximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So\ndelaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.\n\nSo the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The\nfollowing patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of\nfunctions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.\n\nI renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be\nused directly. I didn\u0027t provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock\nfunctions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.\n\nThis is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small\nbug fix in winbond. It currently uses\nnetif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is\nunsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to\nuse netif_tx_disable.\n\nThe hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as\nxmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.\n\nSigned-off-by: Herbert Xu \u003cherbert@gondor.apana.org.au\u003e\nSigned-off-by: David S.
