This patch is heavily based on an earlier patch found on the linux-serial
mailing list [1], written by Darius Augulis.
The previous incarnation of this patch only supported a 2x serial port
card. I have added support for my SYBA 6x serial port card, and tested on
x86.

parport_pc_probe_port() creates the own 'parport_pc' device if the
device argument is NULL. Then parport_pc_probe_port() doesn't
initialize the dma_mask and coherent_dma_mask of the device and calls
dma_alloc_coherent with it. dma_alloc_coherent fails because
dma_alloc_coherent() doesn't accept the uninitialized dma_mask:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/16/150
Long ago, X86_32 and X86_64 had the own dma_alloc_coherent
implementations; X86_32 accepted a device having dma_mask that is not
initialized however X86_64 didn't. When we merged them, we chose to
prohibit a device having dma_mask that is not initialized. I think
that it's good to require drivers to set up dma_mask (and
coherent_dma_mask) properly if the drivers want DMA.

CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO probes for various superio chips by writing
byte sequences to a set of different potential I/O ranges. But the
probed ranges are not exclusive to parallel ports. Some of our boards
just happen to have a watchdog in one of them. Took us almost a week
to figure out why some distros reboot without warning after running
flawlessly for 3 hours. For exactly 170 = 0xAA minutes, that is ...
Fixed by restoring original values after probing. Also fixed too small
request_region() in detect_and_report_it87().

Commit f63fd7e299 ("parport_pc: detection

not when the probe for the IT87XX chip failed.
That caused not only a reserved region to leak, but also caused an oops
when the driver module was unloaded and somebody tried to cat
/proc/ioports - because the string that was assigned to the IO port
region was a static string in the module virtual address area.

Currently a parport_driver can't get a handle on the device node for the
underlying parport (PNPACPI, PCI, etc). That prevents correct placement of
sysfs child nodes, which can affect things like power management.
This patch adds a field to "struct parport" pointing to that device node, and
updates non-legacy port drivers to initialize that device pointer. That field
replaces the analagous PCI-only support in parport_pc.

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.

The last change for partport_pc did fix the common case for all PowerMacs,
but it broke the case for PCI multiport IO cards. In fact, the config
option CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y lead to a hard crash when cups probed
the parport driver. It enables the winbond and smsc probing.
Remove the PARPORT_BASE check again, parport_pc_find_nonpci_ports() will
take care of it. All powerpc configs should have
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=n, the code did not find anything on the chrp
boards we tested it on.

The dynamic pci id logic has been bothering me for a while, and now that
I started to look into how to move some of this to the driver core, I
thought it was time to clean it all up.
It ends up making the code smaller, and easier to follow, and fixes a
few bugs at the same time (dynamic ids were not being matched
everywhere, and so could be missed on some call paths for new devices,
semaphore not needed to be grabbed when adding a new id and calling the
driver core, etc.)
I also renamed the function pci_match_device() to pci_match_id() as
that's what it really does.
