IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
IRQ: Typedef the IRQ handler function type
IRQ: Typedef the IRQ flow handler function type
CONFIG_M386 turns on spinlock-based generic rwsems - which surprises the
semaphore.S rwsem stubs. Tested both with and without CONFIG_M386.

Always make sure RIP/EIP is 0 in the registers stored on the top
of the stack of a kernel thread. This makes sure the unwinder code
won't try a fallback but knows the stack has ended.
AK: this patch is a bit mysterious. in theory they should be terminated
anyways, but it seems to fix at least one crash. Anyways double termination
probably doesn't hurt.

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.

This moves the declarations for the architecture helpers into

It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture
specific details of msi. So I have moved the resposibility of constructing
the struct irq_chip to the architectures, and have two architecture specific
functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq.
For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work. For
architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate
platform code.
With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this
actually takes less code.
The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h
to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h

This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for
use by drivers. Several other functions are implemented as helpers for
arch specific irq_chip handlers.
The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged.
However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other
places in the kernel. Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19
Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be
generalized to work there.
I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a
chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less
interesting.
However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch
specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of
how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

This patch removes the change in behavior of the irq allocation code when
CONFIG_PCI_MSI is defined. Removing all instances of the assumption that irq
== vector.
create_irq is rewritten to first allocate a free irq and then to assign that
irq a vector.
assign_irq_vector is made static and the AUTO_ASSIGN case which allocates an
vector not bound to an irq is removed.
The ioapic vector methods are removed, and everything now works with irqs.
The definition of NR_IRQS no longer depends on CONFIG_PCI_MSI

This removes the hardcoded assumption that irq == vector in the msi
composition code, and it allows the msi message composition to setup logical
mode, or lowest priorirty delivery mode as we do for other apic interrupts,
and with the same selection criteria.
Basically this moves the problem of what is in the msi message into the
architecture irq management code where it belongs. Not in a generic layer
that doesn't have enough information to compose msi messages properly.

The current implementation of create_irq() is a hack but it is the current

Currently we attempt to predict how many irqs we will be able to allocate with
msi using pci_vector_resources and some complicated accounting, and then we
only allow each device as many irqs as we think are available on average.
Only the s2io driver even takes advantage of this feature all other drivers
have a fixed number of irqs they need and bail if they can't get them.
pci_vector_resources is inaccurate if anyone ever frees an irq. The whole
implmentation is racy. The current irq limit policy does not appear to make
sense with current drivers. So I have simplified things. We can revisit this
we we need a more sophisticated policy.

Jesper Juhl reported that testing the software math-emulation by forcing
"no387" doesn't work on modern CPU's.
The reason was two-fold:
- you also need to pass in "nofxsr" to make sure that we not only don't
touch the old i387 legacy hardware, it also needs to disable the
modern XMM/FXSR sequences
- "nofxsr" didn't actually clear the capability bits immediately,
leaving the early boot sequence still using FXSR until we got to
the identify_cpu() stage.
This fixes the "nofxsr" flag to take effect immediately on the boot CPU.

This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using
_syscall3() to implement execve.
The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the
unistd.h header file. I don't have cross-compilers for any of these
architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386.
Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or
by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do
it for now.

In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:
o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
to specify the ".symbols"
o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
specify an offset into a symbol.
o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't

Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the
subsequent flush. This allows the two to be easily combined into a single
hypercall or paravirt-op. More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for
kmap_atomic. Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing
a mapping. This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries
which may still have valid TLB mappings. This is required for direct mode
hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when
changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page
table or descriptor table page). But it also provides some nicer semantics
for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale
mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the
cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when
two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

This is a the first of a series of patch-sets aiming at making kdump more
robust against stack overflows.
This patch set does the following:
* Add safe_smp_processor_id function to i386 architecture (this function was
inspired by the x86_64 function of the same name).
* Substitute "smp_processor_id" with the stack overflow-safe
"safe_smp_processor_id" in the reboot path to the second kernel.
This patch:
On the event of a stack overflow critical data that usually resides at the
bottom of the stack is likely to be stomped and, consequently, its use should
be avoided.
In particular, in the i386 and IA64 architectures the macro smp_processor_id
ultimately makes use of the "cpu" member of struct thread_info which resides
at the bottom of the stack. x86_64, on the other hand, is not affected by
this problem because it benefits from the use of the PDA infrastructure.
To circumvent this problem I suggest implementing "safe_smp_processor_id()"
(it already exists in x86_64) for i386 and IA64 and use it as a replacement
for smp_processor_id in the reboot path to the dump capture kernel. This is a
possible implementation for i386.

With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.
This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I
suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of
kill the whole "if" block.

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.
Eric's original description:
There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties. Most significantly init
must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.
Introduce is_init to capture this case.
With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.
