irq_work, alpha: Fix up arch hooks

2011-08-05T04:58:37Z

commit 0f933625e7b6c3d91878ae95e341bf1984db7eaf upstream. Commit e360adbe29 ("irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks") fouled up the Alpha bit, not properly naming the arch specific function that raises the 'self-IPI'.

alpha: Change do_timer() to xtime_update()

2011-01-31T13:55:43Z

xtime_update() takes the xtime_lock itself. timer_interrupt() is only called on the boot cpu. See do_entInt(). So "state" in timer_interrupt does not require protection by xtime_lock.

set_rtc_mmss: show warning message only once

2011-01-13T16:03:07Z

Occasionally the system gets into a state where the CMOS clock has gotten slightly ahead of current time and the periodic update of RTC fails. The message is a nuisance and repeats spamming the log. See: http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-trbl-spec.htm#Q-LINUX-SET-RTC-MMSS Rather than just removing the message, make it show only once and reduce severity since it indicates a normal and non urgent condition.

irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks

2010-10-18T17:58:50Z

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers. Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also benefit. The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately. Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in processing the work.

alpha: Shift perf event pending work earlier in timer interrupt

2010-09-19T03:06:19Z

Pending work from the performance event subsystem is executed in the timer interrupt. This patch shifts the call to perf_event_do_pending() before the call to update_process_times() as the latter may call back into the perf event subsystem and it is prudent to have the pending work executed first.

alpha: implement HW performance events on the EV67 and later CPUs

2010-08-10T03:45:04Z

This implements hardware performance events for the EV67 and later CPUs within the Linux performance events subsystem. Only using the performance monitoring unit in HP/Compaq's so called "Aggregrate mode" is supported. The code has been implemented in a manner that makes extension to other older Alpha CPUs relatively straightforward should some mug wish to indulge themselves.

Convert alpha to use clocksources instead of arch_gettimeoffset

2010-05-25T22:40:27Z

Alpha has a tsc like rpcc counter that it uses to manage time. This can be converted to an actual clocksource instead of utilizing the arch_gettimeoffset method that is really only there for legacy systems with no continuous counter. Further cleanups could be made if alpha converted to the clockevent model.

alpha: Convert alpha to use read/update_persistent_clock

2010-03-13T00:14:08Z

This patch converts the alpha architecture to use the generic read_persistent_clock and update_persistent_clock interfaces, reducing the amount of arch specific code we have to maintain, and allowing for further cleanups in the future. I have not built or tested this patch, so help from arch maintainers would be appreciated. igned-off-by: John Stultz Cc: Richard Henderson Cc: Andrew Morton LKML-Reference: <1267675049-12337-2-git-send-email-johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner
