Greg Kroah-Hartman 65db430540 USB: convert drivers/usb/* to use module_usb_driver()
This converts the drivers in drivers/usb/* to use the
module_usb_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
simpler.

Added bonus is that it removes some unneeded kernel log messages about
drivers loading and/or unloading.

Simon Arlott 902ffc3c70 USB: cxacru: Use a bulk/int URB to access the command endpoint
The command endpoint is either a bulk or interrupt endpoint, but using
the wrong type of transfer causes an error if CONFIG_USB_DEBUG is
enabled after commit f661c6f8c6, which
checks for this mismatch.

Detect which type of endpoint it is and use a bulk/int URB as
appropriate. There are other function calls specifying a bulk pipe,
but usb_clear_halt doesn't use the pipe type (only the endpoint) and
usb_bulk_msg auto-detects interrupt transfers.

Simon Arlott 817db5b34e USB: cxacru: remove cxacru-cf.bin loader
This has never worked properly because wsize passed to
cxacru_cm() is incorrectly set to the number of values
instead of the data bytes. The maximum number of values
that can be set at once is 7 which means the device will
not get enough data to work with and none of the
configuration values will be used.

At least one existing cxacru-cf.bin file contains invalid
data which will prevent the modem from syncing properly.

Fixing it is likely to break existing systems, and the
new sysfs interface for setting configuration parameters
can provide the same functionality. A script is provided
to convert from the original format.

Simon Arlott fd209e35b7 USB: cxacru: ignore error trying to start ADSL in atm_start
The sysfs adsl_status attribute ignores (aside from returning -EIO to the
user) any error sending a START/STOP command to the device and there is at
least one firmware which never sends a response but appears to work
regardless.  Therefore atm_start should also continue if an error is received
so that such firmware is usable.

The official Conexant driver doesn't expect a reply either but this is for
another device (E2 router) and a commonly used firmware does respond.

Also, there is no point in changing -ECONNRESET to -ETIMEDOUT since nothing
ever checks for either of these values.

Simon Arlott da1f82b554 USB: cxacru: create sysfs attributes in atm_start instead of bind
Since usbatm doesn't set the usb_interface driver data until after calling
bind and heavy_init, it would be NULL when the sysfs attributes are read.
Reading the MAC address from atm_dev before atm_dev exists would have been
be possible too.

Calling create_device_file in atm_start will avoid this problem, and the
data is useless until the first status poll runs.  However, it must be
ready before a status poll does a printk on line status change otherwise
userspace could react before the files exist.

For completeness I've moved remove_device_file to atm_stop so it's not
called in unbind when it's not needed.  There's no point starting ADSL if
atm_start could still fail either.

The device has commands to start/stop the ADSL function, so this adds a

There are no problems with sending multiple start or stop commands, even
with a fast loop of them the device still works.  There is no need to

for 1.5s.

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.

While the usbatm core has had some support for using isoc urbs
for some time, there was no way for users to turn it on.  While
use of isoc transfer should still be considered experimental, it
now works well enough to let users turn it on.  Minidrivers signal
to the core that they want to use isoc transfer by setting the new
UDSL_USE_ISOC flag.  The speedtch minidriver gets a new module
parameter enable_isoc (defaults to false), plus some logic that
checks for the existence of an isoc receive endpoint (not all
speedtouch modems have one).

Alan Stern b375a0495f [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel
29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:

This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel.  Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system.  For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."

An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time.  As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches.  Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."

Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory.  "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to.  That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."

Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls.  His only comment was "Applied, thanks."
