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)
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.
This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.
53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

That patch added multiple read urbs and larger transfer buffers to allow
data transfers at full EvDO speed.
This version includes additional device IDs and fixes a memory leak in
the transfer buffer allocation.
Some (maybe all?) of the supported devices present multiple bulk endpoints,
the additional EPs can be used for control and status functions,
This version allocates 3 EPs by default, that can be changed using
the 'endpoints' module parameter.
Tested with Sierra Wireless EM5625 and MC5720 embedded modules.

When receiving a fatal error from the USB core, e.g. EILSEQ (which can
happen if the polling interval is too short), fail gracefully.
Previously the driver would fill the log with useless error messages
or (more alarmingly) silently spin forever trying to write updated
control information to the device. This change implements a new flag
which if cleared indicates that the driver has failed. The flag will
be set on initialization, cleared on fatal errors, and anything else
that touches the USB port in the driver will abort if the flag is
clear. When the flag is cleared, a message will be logged indicating
that the driver has failed.

Rather than directly filling in URB fields, it's safer to use
usb_fill_int_urb(). This improves robustness of the driver; URB
changes in the future will not go uninitialized here. That point not

use usb_fill_int_urb() everywhere or don't bother with it all.

The polling interval for the device can't always be 1msec. If it is
too quick, the device can fail causing a fatal (to the driver) EILSEQ
error from the USB core. The actual correct value is reported by the
device as part of its configuration data, so use that value as the
default. On a DeLorme Earthmate for example, the device reports that
it wants a 6msec interval. As part of this fix, the "interval" module
option has been fixed as well; the device's default can be overridden
by specifying interval=<value> as a module option.

Adds configurable waiting periods to the ipaq connection code. These are
not needed when the pocketpc device is running normally when plugged in,
but they need extra delays if they are physically connected while
rebooting.
There are two parameters :
* initial_wait : this is the delay before the driver attemts to start the
connection. This is needed because the pocktpc device takes much
longer to boot if the driver starts sending control packets too soon.
* connect_retries : this is the number of times the control urb is
retried before finally giving up. The patch also adds a 1 second delay
between retries.
I'm not sure if the cases where this patch is useful are general enough
to include this in the kernel.

This patch limits the amount of outstanding 'write' data that can be
queued up for the ftdi_sio driver, to prevent userspace DoS attacks (or
simple accidents) that use up all the system memory by writing lots of
data to the serial port.
The original patch was by Guillaume Autran, who in turn based it on the
same mechanism implemented in the 'visor' driver. I (Ian Abbott)
re-targeted the patch to the latest sources, fixed a couple of errors,
renamed his new structure members, and updated the implementations of
the 'write_room' and 'chars_in_buffer' methods to take account of the
number of outstanding 'write' bytes. It seems to work fine, though at
low baud rates it is still possible to queue up an amount of data that
takes an age to shift (a job for another day!).

The anti user-DoS mechanism in the USB serial 'visor' driver can fail in
the following way:
visor_open: priv->outstanding_urbs = 0
visor_write: ++priv->outstanding_urbs
visor_close:
visor_open: priv->outstanding_urbs = 0
visor_write_bulk_callback: --priv->outstanding_urbs
So priv->outstanding_urbs ends up as (unsigned long)(-1). Not good!
I haven't seen this happen with the visor driver as I don't have the
hardware, but I have seen it while testing a patch to implement the same
functionality in the ftdi_sio driver (patch not yet submitted).
The fix is pretty simple: don't reinitialize outstanding_urbs in
visor_open. (Again, I haven't tested the fix in visor, but I have
tested it in ftdi_sio.)
