2011-01-07sched: Constify function scope static struct sched_param usagePeter Zijlstra
Function-scope statics are discouraged because they are easily overlooked and can cause subtle bugs/races due to their global (non-SMP safe) nature. Linus noticed that we did this for sched_param - at minimum make the const.

2010-12-01genirq: Fix incorrect proc spurious outputKenji Kaneshige
Since commit a1afb637(switch /proc/irq/*/spurious to seq_file) all /proc/irq/XX/spurious files show the information of irq 0. Current irq_spurious_proc_open() passes on NULL as the 3rd argument, which is used as an IRQ number in irq_spurious_proc_show(), to the single_open(). Because of this, all the /proc/irq/XX/spurious file shows IRQ 0 information regardless of the IRQ number. To fix the problem, irq_spurious_proc_open() must pass on the appropreate data (IRQ number) to single_open().

2010-10-27/proc/stat: fix scalability of irq sum of all cpuKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each irq's events on all cpus. But we can make use of kstat_irqs(). kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.) If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does for_each_irq() for_each_cpu() - look up a radix tree - read desc->irq_stat[cpu] This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as for_each_irq() look up radix tree for_each_cpu() - read desc->irq_stat[cpu] This reduces cost.

2010-10-12genirq: Implement a sane sparse_irq allocatorThomas Gleixner
The current sparse_irq allocator has several short comings due to failures in the design or the lack of it: - Requires iteration over the number of active irqs to find a free slot (Some architectures have grown their own workarounds for this) - Removal of entries is not possible - Racy between create_irq_nr and destroy_irq (plugged by horrible callbacks) - Migration of active irq descriptors is not possible - No bulk allocation of irq ranges - Sprinkeled irq_desc references all over the place outside of kernel/irq/ (The previous chip functions series is addressing this issue) Implement a sane allocator which fixes the above short comings (though migration of active descriptors needs a full tree wide cleanup of the direct and mostly unlocked access to irq_desc). The new allocator still uses a radix_tree, but uses a bitmap for keeping track of allocated irq numbers. That allows: - Fast lookup of a free slot - Allows the removal of descriptors - Prevents the create/destroy race - Bulk allocation of consecutive irq ranges - Basic design is ready for migration of life descriptors after further cleanups The bitmap is also used in the SPARSE_IRQ=n case for lookup and raceless (de)allocation of irq numbers. So it removes the requirement for looping through the descriptor array to find slots. Right now it uses sparse_irq_lock to protect the bitmap and the radix tree, but after cleaning up all users we should be able convert that to a mutex and to switch the radix_tree and decriptor allocations to GFP_KERNEL.

2010-06-09genirq: Deal with desc->set_type() changing desc->chipThomas Gleixner
The set_type() function can change the chip implementation when the trigger mode changes. That might result in using an non-initialized irq chip when called from __setup_irq() or when called via set_irq_type() on an already enabled irq. The set_irq_type() function should not be called on an enabled irq, but because we forgot to put a check into it, we have a bunch of users which grew the habit of doing that and it never blew up as the function is serialized via desc->lock against all users of desc->chip and they never hit the non-initialized irq chip issue. The easy fix for the __setup_irq() issue would be to move the irq_chip_set_defaults(desc->chip) call after the trigger setting to make sure that a chip change is covered. But as we have already users, which do the type setting after request_irq(), the safe fix for now is to call irq_chip_set_defaults() from __irq_set_trigger() when desc->set_type() changed the irq chip. It needs a deeper analysis whether we should refuse to change the chip on an already enabled irq, but that'd be a large scale change to fix all the existing users. So that's neither stable nor 2.6.35 material.

This patch adds a cpumask affinity hint to the irq_desc structure, along with a registration function and a read-only proc entry for each interrupt. This affinity_hint handle for each interrupt can be used by underlying drivers that need a better mechanism to control interrupt affinity. The underlying driver can register a cpumask for the interrupt, which will allow the driver to provide the CPU mask for the interrupt to anything that requests it. The intent is to extend the userspace daemon, irqbalance, to help hint to it a preferred CPU mask to balance the interrupt into.
