| | | * [SERIAL] remove unneeded code from serial_core.cJayachandran C2005-10-311-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes an issue reported by Coverity in serial/serial_core.c Error reported: Variable "&((info)->tty)->flags" tracked as NULL was passed to a function that dereferences it. The later statements in the function assumes 'info->tty != NULL', so this check is not necessary. Probably a 'BUG_ON(info->tty == NULL)' can be added.

This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

Furthermore, don't set the SETVAL bit in the config register.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 32-bit architectures, the multiplication in the argument for hpet_time_div() often overflows. In the typical case of a 14.32 MHz timer, this happens when the desired frequency exceeds 61 Hz. To avoid this multiplication, we can precompute and store the hardware timer frequency, instead of the period, in the device structure, which leaves us with a simple division when computing the number of timer ticks. As a side effect, this also removes a theoretical bug where the timer interpolator's frequency would be computed as a 32-bit value even if the HPET frequency is greater than 2^32 Hz (the HPET spec allows up to 10 GHz).
