<title>IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers</title>
<updated>2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

In my quest to try and figure out why test 14 (control write) doesn't
work with my EZ-USB board, I noticed that sometimes testusb reported
no error even though the kernel log complained "byte 0 is 0 not 2" etc.

This patch (as693b) makes the usbtest driver report errors in the
isochronous bulk transfer tests instead of always returning 0.  As an
arbitrary cutoff, an error is returned if more than 10% of the packet
transfers fail.  It also stops a test immediately upon receiving an URB
submission error.

For a test harness, it's especially important to report when errors occur!

ctrl_complete functions acquires ctx-&gt;lock and tries to unlink
all queued urbs in case of errors through usb_unlink_urb func.
In its turn usb_unlink_urb calls, through the hcd driver,
usb_hcd_giveback_urb which calls ctrl_complete again. At this
time, ctx-&gt;lock is already taken by the same function.

<title>[PATCH] USB: usbtest: scatterlist OUT data pattern testing</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8b5249019352eecd49fb00004d583904e891e7b1</id>

Previously, scatterlist tests didn't write patterned data.  Given how many
corner cases are addresed by them, this was a significant gap in Linux-USB
test coverage.  Moreover, when peripherals checked for correct data patterns,
false error reports would drown out the true ones.

This adds the pattern on the way OUT from the host, so scatterlist tests can
now be used to uncover bugs like host TX or peripheral RX paths failing for
back-to-back short packets.  It's easy enough to get an error there with at
least one of the {DMA,PIO}{RX,TX} code paths, or run into hardware races
that need to be defended against.

Note this patch doesn't add checking for correct data patterns on the way
IN from peripherals, just a FIXME for later.
