* [PATCH] clockevents: i386 driversThomas Gleixner2007-02-161-497/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global). Update the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver. The assignement of timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook() Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast function for ACPI. No changes to existing functionality.

* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] hpet rtc emulation: add watchdog timerClemens Ladisch2006-09-261-6/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prevent the emulated RTC timer from stopping when interrupts are delayed for too long, disable interrupts around all of the register initialization, and check that the interrupt handler did not schedule the next interrupt in the past.

* [PATCH] move rtc_interrupt() prototype to rtc.hAdrian Bunk2006-01-091-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the rtc_interrupt() prototype to rtc.h and removes the prototypes from C files. It also renames static rtc_interrupt() functions in arch/arm/mach-integrator/time.c and arch/sh64/kernel/time.c to avoid compile problems.

* [PATCH] hpet-RTC: cache the comparator registerClemens Ladisch2005-10-311-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Reads from an HPET register require a round trip to the south bridge and are almost as slow as PCI reads. By caching the last value we've written to the comparator register, we can eliminate all HPET reads from the fast path in the emulated RTC interrupt handler.

* [PATCH] hpet-RTC: fix timer config register accessesClemens Ladisch2005-10-311-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure that the RTC timer is in non-periodic mode; some stupid BIOS might have initialized it to periodic mode. Furthermore, don't set the SETVAL bit in the config register. This wouldn't have any effect unless the timer was in period mode (which it isn't), and then the actual timer frequency would be half that of the desired one because incrementing the comparator in the interrupt handler would be done after the hardware has already incremented it itself.

* [PATCH] hpet-RTC: disable interrupt when no longer neededClemens Ladisch2005-10-311-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the emulated RTC interrupt is no longer needed, we better disable it; otherwise, we get a spurious interrupt whenever the timer has rolled over and reaches the same comparator value. Having a superfluous interrupt every five minutes doesn't hurt much, but it's bad style anyway. ;-) Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Acked-by: "Pallipadi, Venkatesh" <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] i386: fix hpet for systems that don't support legacy replacementjohn stultz2005-05-011-21/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the i386 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from the spec is present. This breaks on boxes that do not implement the optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec. This patch, which is very similar to my x86-64 patch for the same issue, fixes the problem allowing i386 systems that cannot use the HPET for the timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source. I've tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-171-0/+458
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!
