7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
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.

0a730ae599 [POWERPC] Don't try to just continue if xmon has no input device
Currently, if xmon has no input device (as is generally the case on
G5 powermacs), and we drop into xmon as a result of a fatal exception,
it will return 1, which die() interprets as "continue without causing
an oops".  This fixes it by making xmon() return 0 in the case where
it has no input device.

4767928394 [POWERPC] Fix xmon=off and cleanup xmon initialisation
My patch to make the early xmon logic work with earlier early param
parsing (480f6f35a1) breaks xmon=off.

No one does this obviously as xmon rocks, but it should really work
as documented.

While fixing that it struck me that we could move the xmon param
handling into xmon.c, and also consolidate the
xmon_init()/do_early_xmon logic into xmon_setup(). This means
xmon=early drops into xmon a little earlier on 32-bit, but it
seems to work just fine.

Tested on PSERIES and CLASSIC32.

5474c120aa [PATCH] Rewritten backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computers
This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for
portable Apple computers.  Backward compatibility is retained.  A sysfs
interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than
before.  Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different
monitors, similar to Mac OS X.

51fae6de24 [PATCH] powerpc: Add a is_kernel_addr() macro
There's a bunch of code that compares an address with KERNELBASE to see if
it's a "kernel address", ie. >= KERNELBASE. The proper test is actually to
compare with PAGE_OFFSET, since we're going to change KERNELBASE soon.

So replace all of them with an is_kernel_addr() macro that does that.

bb6b9b28d6 [PATCH] powerpc: udbg updates
The udbg low level io layer has an issue with udbg_getc() returning a
char (unsigned on ppc) instead of an int, thus the -1 if you had no
available input device could end up turned into 0xff, filling your
display with bogus characters. This fixes it, along with adding a little
blob to xmon to do a delay before exiting when getting an EOF and fixing
the detection of ADB keyboards in udbg_adb.c

51d3082fe6 [PATCH] powerpc: Unify udbg (#2)
This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the
merged achitecture. xmon now has a single "back end". The powermac udbg
stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In
addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well,
approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations.
The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify
them in a later patch.

For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using
"btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg
output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a
later patch.

548ccebc2a powerpc: Fix reading and writing SPRs from xmon on 32-bit
When we created the instructions to read/write SPRs in xmon, we were
setting up a ppc64-style procedure descriptor and calling that, which
doesn't work in 32-bit.  For 32-bit a function pointer just points
to the instructions of the function.  This fixes it to do the right
thing for both 32-bit and 64-bit.

3ddfbcf19b [PATCH] powerpc: Consolidate asm compatibility macros
This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for
compatibility across different CPUs or configs.  A new header,
asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros.  It
uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use
in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files.  Headers (bitops.h,
uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility
macros are changed to use asm-compat.h.

ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces
that.  As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution
here than in asm-compat.h.

While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in
futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't.

Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc).  Built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc).

fca5dcd483 powerpc: Simplify and clean up the xmon terminal I/O
This factors out the common bits of arch/powerpc/xmon/start_*.c into
a new nonstdio.c, and removes some stuff that was supposed to make
xmon's I/O routines somewhat stdio-like but was never used.

It also makes the parsing of the xmon= command line option common,
so that ppc32 can now use xmon={off,on,early} also.

f78541dcec powerpc: Merge xmon
The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly,
and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version.
The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call
show_state (which was always pretty dodgy) has been replaced by
the ppc32 'p' command, which calls a given procedure (so in fact
the old 'p' command behaviour can be achieved with 'p $show_state').
