610142927b [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Safely cleanup an irq after moving it.
The problem:  After moving an interrupt when is it safe to teardown
the data structures for receiving the interrupt at the old location?

With a normal pci device it is possible to issue a read to a device
to flush all posted writes.  This does not work for the oldest ioapics
because they are on a 3-wire apic bus which is a completely different
data path.  For some more modern ioapics when everything is using
front side bus delivery you can flush interrupts by simply issuing a
read to the ioapic.  For other modern ioapics emperical testing has
shown that this does not work.

So it appears the only reliable way to know the last of the irqs from an
ioapic have been received from before the ioapic was reprogrammed is to
received the first irq from the ioapic from after it was reprogrammed.

Once we know the last irq message has been received from an ioapic
into a local apic we then need to know that irq message has been
processed through the local apics.

bc5e81a151 [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Add constants for the reserved IRQ vectors.
For the ISA irqs we reserve 16 vectors.  This patch adds constants for
those vectors and modifies the code to use them.  Making the code a
little clearer and making it possible to move these vectors in the future.

b93179bdfc [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Remove unnecessary irq 0 setup.
The code in io_apic.c and in i8259.c currently hardcode the same
vector for the timer interrupt so there is no reason for a special
assignment for the timer as the setup for the i8259 already takes care
of this.

dfbffdd81c [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Simplify assign_irq_vector's arguments.
Currently assign_irq_vector works mostly by side effect and returns
the results of it's changes to the caller.  Which makes for a lot of
arguments to pass/return and confusion as to what to do if you need
the status but you aren't calling assign_irq_vector.

This patch stops returning values from assign_irq_vector that can be
retrieved just as easily by examining irq_cfg, and modifies the
callers to retrive those values from irq_cfg when they need them.

13a79503ab [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Begin consolidating per_irq data in structures.
Currently the io_apic.c has several parallel arrays for different
kinds of data that can be know about an irq.  The parallel arrays
make the code harder to maintain and make it difficult to remove
the static limits on the number of the number of irqs.

This patch pushes irq_data and irq_vector into a irq_cfg array and
updates the code to use it.

e273d140d9 [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Use NR_IRQS not NR_IRQ_VECTORS
NR_IRQ_VECTORS is currently a compatiblity define set to NR_IRQs.
This patch updates the users of NR_IRQ_VECTORS to use NR_IRQs instead
so that NR_IRQ_VECTORS can be removed.

There is still shared code with arch/i386 that uses NR_IRQ_VECTORS
so we can't remove the #define just yet :(

f45bcd7022 [PATCH] x86_64 irq: In __DO_ACTION perform the FINAL action for every entry.
If we have an irq that comes from multiple io_apic pins the FINAL action
(which is io_apic_sync or nothing) needs to be called for every entry or
else if the two pins come from different io_apics we may not wait until
after the action happens on the io_apic.

5ff5115efa [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Simplfiy the set_affinity logic.
For some reason the code has been picking TARGET_CPUS when asked to
set the affinity to an empty set of cpus.  That is just silly it's
extra work.  Instead if there are no cpus to set the affinity to we
should just give up immediately.  That is simpler and a little more
intuitive.

a8c8a36736 [PATCH] x86_64 irq: Refactor setup_IO_APIC_irq
Currently we have two routines that do practically the same thing
setup_IO_APIC_irq and io_apic_set_pci_routing.  This patch makes
setup_IO_APIC_irq the common factor of these two previous routines.
For setup_IO_APIC_irq all that was needed was to pass the trigger
and polarity to make the code a proper subset of io_apic_set_pci_routing.

Hopefully consolidating these two routines will improve maintenance
there were several differences that simply appear to be one routine
or the other getting it wrong.

ea3d5226f5 Revert "[PATCH] i386: add idle notifier"
This reverts commit 2ff2d3d747.

Uwe Bugla reports that he cannot mount a floppy drive any more, and Jiri
Slaby bisected it down to this commit.

Benjamin LaHaise also points out that this is a big hot-path, and that
interrupt delivery while idle is very common and should not go through
all these expensive gyrations.

Fix up conflicts in arch/i386/kernel/apic.c and arch/i386/kernel/irq.c
due to other unrelated irq changes.

599a52d126 backlight: Separate backlight properties from backlight ops pointers
Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device
and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation
function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and
allows simplifcation of some code.

28ee086d5b backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.

backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.

Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.

Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

e03b526932 [MIPS] Fixup copy_from_user_inatomic
From the 01408c4939 log message:

The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source
address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the*
*destination*.

This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd
thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or
what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a
reasonable thing to see).

If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't
cause an error.

The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing
so causes the problem.  It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than
copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic
to *not* zero out bytes on failure.

This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by
duplicating the relevant part of __copy_user.
