irq_work, alpha: Fix up arch hooks

2011-07-01T09:02:25Z

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.
