Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table,
teach all the architectures to use it.
This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for
multithreaded-probing.

The current implementation uses a sequence of a cacheflush and a copy.
This is racy in case of a multithreaded debuggee and renders GDB
virtually unusable.
Aside this fixes a performance hog rendering access to /proc/cmdline very
slow and resulting in a enough cache stalls for the 34K AP/SP programming
model to make the bare metal code on the non-Linux VPE miss RT deadlines.
The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle;
Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.

Use the new typedef for interrupt handler function pointers rather than
actually spelling out the full thing each time. This was scripted with the
following small shell script:
#!/bin/sh
egrep -nHrl -e 'irqreturn_t[ ]*[(][*]' $* |
while read i
do
echo $i
perl -pi -e 's/irqreturn_t\s*[(]\s*[*]\s*([_a-zA-Z0-9]*)\s*[)]\s*[(]\s*int\s*,\s*void\s*[*]\s*[)]/irq_handler_t \1/g' $i || exit $?

Currently, /proc/cpuinfo contains several copies of the information for
whatever processor we happen to be scheduled on. This patch makes it contain
the proper information for each CPU, which is particularly useful on mixed

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.
