2008-02-15Fix station address detection in smcChuck Ebbert
Megahertz EM1144 PCMCIA ethernet adapter needs special handling because it has two VERS_1 tuples and the station address is in the second one. Conversion to generic handling of these fields broke it. Reverting that fixes the device. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233255 Thanks go to Jon Stanley for not giving up on this one until the problem was found.

2008-01-183c574, 3c515 bitfields abuseAl Viro
wn3_config is shared by these cards; the way we deal with it is both bad C (union abuse) and broken on big-endian. For 3c515 it's less serious (ISA cards are quite rare outside of little-endian boxen), but 3c574 is a pcmcia one and that'd better be endian-independent... Fix is the same in both cases.

Both store MAC address in CIS; there's no decoder for that type (0x88) so the drivers work with raw data. It is byteswapped, so ntohs() works for little-endian, but for big-endian it's wrong. ntohs(le16_to_cpu()) does the right thing on both (and always expands to swab16()).

2007-06-28Fix Kconfig dependency problems wrt boolean menuconfigsTrent Piepho
If one has a dependency chain (tristate)FOO depends on (bool)BAR depends on (tristate)BAZ, build problems will result. If BAZ=m, then BAR can be set y, which allows FOO=y. It's possible to have FOO=y && BAZ=m, which wouldn't be allowed if FOO depended directly on BAZ. In effect, the bool promotes the tristate from m to y. This ends up causing a problem with several menuconfigs that look like: menuconfig BAR bool depends on BAZ [tristate] if BAR config FOO tristate endif The solution used here is to add the dependencies of BAR to the if statement, so that items in the if block will gain a direct non-bool-promoted dependency on BAZ. This is how it would work if a menu was used instead of an if block. Signed-off-by: Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org> Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> Cc: "David S.

2007-05-09Fix hang on IBM Token Ring PCMCIA card ejectionPaul Walmsley
Ejecting a PCMCIA IBM Token Ring card that has not had its dev->open() called will reliably trigger an uninitialized spinlock oops when spinlock debugging is enabled. The system then hangs, occasionally softlockup oopsing. Apparently ibmtr.c:tok_interrupt() doesn't expect to be called before tok_open(), but tok_interrupt() gets called anyway when the card is ejected. So, set an already-existing flag which causes tok_interrupt() to bail out early upon card ejection. Tested by inserting and removing the PCMCIA card several times.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
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.
