Paul Mackerras beeca08738 Don't call a NULL ack function in the generic IRQ code.
Some IRQ controllers don't need an ack function (e.g. OpenPIC on
PPC platforms) and for them we'd rather not have the overhead
of doing an indirect call to a function that does nothing.

Karsten Wiese f26fdd5992 [PATCH] CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU() to avoid dead code in __do_IRQ()
IRQ_PER_CPU is not used by all architectures.  This patch introduces the
macros ARCH_HAS_IRQ_PER_CPU and CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU() to avoid the generation
of dead code in __do_IRQ().

ARCH_HAS_IRQ_PER_CPU is defined by architectures using IRQ_PER_CPU in their
include/asm_ARCH/irq.h file.

Through grepping the tree I found the following architectures currently use
IRQ_PER_CPU:

        cris, ia64, ppc, ppc64 and parisc.

Ashok Raj 54d5d42404 [PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinity
When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.

CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.

- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
  lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
  handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
  it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
  when using generic irq framework.

Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.

MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I
did test an earlier version of this patch.  Will test in a couple days.

Alan Cox 200803dfe4 [PATCH] irqpoll
Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options.  Its effectiveness
varies we've found in the Fedora case.  Quite a few systems with misdescribed
IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll.  It also fixes up the VIA systems
although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default
as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically).

A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause
an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for.  In those cases it
doesn't help.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso b77d6adc92 [PATCH] uml: make hw_controller_type->release exist only for archs needing it
With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org>

As suggested by Chris, we can make the "just added" method ->release
conditional to UML only (better: to archs requesting it, i.e.  only UML
currently), so that other archs don't get this unneeded crud, and if UML
won't need it any more we can kill this.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso dbce706e25 [PATCH] uml: add and use generic hw_controller_type->release
With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org>

Currently UML must explicitly call the UML-specific
free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() for each free_irq call it's done.

This is needed because ->shutdown and/or ->disable are only called when the
last "action" for that irq is removed.

Instead, for UML shared IRQs (UML IRQs are very often, if not always,
shared), for each dev_id some setup is done, which must be cleared on the
release of that fd.  For instance, for each open console a new instance
(i.e.  new dev_id) of the same IRQ is requested().

Exactly, a fd is stored in an array (pollfds), which is after read by a
host thread and passed to poll().  Each event registered by poll() triggers
an interrupt.  So, for each free_irq() we must remove the corresponding
host fd from the table, which we do via this -release() method.

In this patch we add an appropriate hook for this, and remove all uses of
it by pointing the hook to the said procedure; this is safe to do since the
said procedure.

Also some cosmetic improvements are included.

This is heavily based on some work by Chris Wedgwood, which however didn't
get the patch merged for something I'd call a "misunderstanding" (the need
for this patch wasn't cleanly explained, thus adding the generic hook was
felt as undesirable).

John Hawkes b60c1f6ffd [PATCH] drop note_interrupt() for per-CPU for proper scaling
The "unhandled interrupts" catcher, note_interrupt(), increments a global
desc->irq_count and grossly damages scaling of very large systems, e.g.,
>192p ia64 Altix, because of this highly contented cacheline, especially
for timer interrupts.  384p is severely crippled, and 512p is unuseable.

All calls to note_interrupt() can be disabled by booting with "noirqdebug",
but this disables the useful interrupt checking for all interrupts.

I propose eliminating note_interrupt() for all per-CPU interrupts.  This
was the behavior of linux-2.6.10 and earlier, but in 2.6.11 a code
restructuring added a call to note_interrupt() for per-CPU interrupts.
Besides, note_interrupt() is a bit racy for concurrent CPU calls anyway, as
the desc->irq_count++ increment isn't atomic (which, if done, would make
scaling even worse).

Zhang, Yanmin 4f167fb491 [PATCH] spurious interrupt fix
On my IA64 machine, after kernel 2.6.12-rc3 boots, an edge-triggered
interrupt (IRQ 46) keeps triggered over and over again.  There is no IRQ 46
interrupt action handler.  It has lots of impact on performance.

Kernel 2.6.10 and its prior versions have no the problem.  Basically,
kernel 2.6.10 will mask the spurious edge interrupt if the interrupt is
triggered for the second time and its status includes
IRQ_DISABLE|IRQ_PENDING.

Originally, IA64 kernel has its own specific _irq_desc definitions in file
arch/ia64/kernel/irq.c.  The definition initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to
IRQ_DISABLE.  Since kernel 2.6.11, it was moved to architecture independent
codes, i.e.  kernel/irq/handle.c, but kernel/irq/handle.c initiates
_irq_desc[irq].status to 0 instead of IRQ_DISABLE.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
