Joe Perches 43ead78ac4 drivers/net/wireless/ray_cs.c: Use iw_handler function prototypes
Change local functions that are cast to iw_handler to
the more standard use with "union iwreq_data *wrqu"
so the iw_handler array no longer needs the casts.

Dominik Brodowski 5fa9167a1b pcmcia: rework the irq_req_t typedef
Most of the irq_req_t typedef'd struct can be re-worked quite
easily:

(1) IRQInfo2 was unused in any case, so drop it.

(2) IRQInfo1 was used write-only, so drop it.

(3) Instance (private data to be passed to the IRQ handler):
	Most PCMCIA drivers using pcmcia_request_irq() to actually
	register an IRQ handler set the "dev_id" to the same pointer
	as the "priv" pointer in struct pcmcia_device. Modify the two
	exceptions (ipwireless, ibmtr_cs) to also work this waym and
	set the IRQ handler's "dev_id" to p_dev->priv unconditionally.

(4) Handler is to be of type irq_handler_t.

(5) Handler != NULL already tells whether an IRQ handler is present.
	Therefore, we do not need the IRQ_HANDLER_PRESENT flag in
	irq_req_t.Attributes.

CCS_START_NETWORK is declared in drivers/net/wireless/rayctl.h with the
comment Values for cmd.  status is previously compared to
CCS_COMMAND_COMPLETE, which is declared in the same file with the comment
Values for buffer_status.  Finally, it is possible at this point that cmd
is CCS_START_NETWORK, because it is compared to that value in an enclosing
switch that has CCS_START_NETWORK as one of two case labels around this code.

Also, remove all usages of the CS_CHECK macro and replace them with proper

Before: 1099 errors, 93 warnings, 2854 lines checked
After:  19 errors, 47 warnings, 2976 lines checked

The big bulk of this is code indent and over 80 character lines
(Lindent did this part) Other changes are foo * bar spacing, and
trailing whitespace.

v2: Cleans up ill-indented comments.  Subsequently, this reduces the
number of warnings, too.  Thanks to Joe Perches for pointing this out!

v3: Ran the whole file through Lindent first... which does most of
the work for me. :) Again, thanks to Joe Perches for this.

bugs galore:
	* 0xf380 instead of htons(ETH_P_AARP), etc.  Works only on l-e.
	* back in 2.3.20 driver got readb() and friends instead of
direct dereferencing of iomem.  Somebody got too enthusiatic and replaced
	ntohs(p->mrx_overflow)
with
	ntohs(read(&p->mrx_overflow)
without noticing that (a) the sucker is 16bit and (b) that expression can't possibly
be portable anyway (hell, on l-e it's always less than 256, on b-e it's always a
multiple of 256).  Proper fix is
	swab16(readw(&p->mrx_overflow)
taking into account the conversion done by readw() itself.  That crap happened
in several places; the same fix applies.
	* untranslate() assumes little-endian almost everywhere, except for
the code checking for IPX/AARP packets; there we forgot ntohs(), so that part
only works on big-endian.

David Howells 7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
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.

Herbert Xu 5b057c6b1a [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_pad
First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
the existing one is not shared.  More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
requeueing.

This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
it if needed.  Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
originally created.

Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
TCP, etc.).  As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb.  Because
of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
it's best if we don't do it.
