V4L/DVB (5745): Dvb: use '+=' instead of '=' for EXTRA_CFLAGS

2007-07-18T17:23:56+00:00

The Makefiles in the dvb directory tree used '=' when defining EXTRA_CFLAGS
rather than '+=', which is far more common in the rest of the kernel source.
  =  14 times (9 of which this patch removes)
 :=  25 times
 += 123 times
This change also has certain advantages for the out of kernel v4l-dvb build
system.

V4L/DVB (5578): Workaround for bad hardare/firmware on some pluto2 devices

2007-05-09T13:12:35+00:00

pluto2_driver: Workaround for pluto2 card reporting wrong number of
received packets and flooding system with interrupts.

This patch constitutes a workaround for a hardware/firmware problem of the
pluto2-based card (e.g., Satelco EasyWatch).

It can happen in rare cases that the card gets into a mode where it
always reports back a number of received packets (nbpackets) which is
larger than the maximum permissible number of packets (TS_DMA_PACKETS).
The workaround that is already in the driver in function pluto_dma_end
reports back zero received packets. In spite of the (in reality) zero
received packets the card continues to generate interrupts at a very
high rate, which can effectively stall the system.

The patch resets the TS logic, which puts the card back into normal
operations.

V4L/DVB (5361): Dvb-pll: Fix Kconfig files and allow dvb-pll to be optional

2007-04-27T18:44:01+00:00

A number of drivers selected DVB_PLL when they did not need it, and some
that did need it did not select it.

The DVB_PLL option is given a name and help text, so that it will show up
in the config menu.  DVB_PLL support can be turned on if an out-of-tree
driver needs it.

The standard dvb fe customization support is added to dvb-pll.h.  Since
all modules which select DVB_PLL do so unconditionally, it is not
possible to turn dvb-pll off when an enabled module selects it, unlike
most of the other frontend/tuner drivers.  This is because the users of
dvb-pll have static references to dvb-pll symbols other than the attach
function.  If these references are removed, then dvb-pll will be
disablable as the other frontend/tuner drivers are.

V4L/DVB (5496): Pluto2: fix incorrect TSCR register setting

2007-04-02T14:03:05+00:00

The ADEF bits in the TSCR register have different meanings in read and
write mode. For this reason ADEF has to be reset on every
read-modify-write operation.
This patch introduces a special write function for this register, which
takes care of it.

Thanks to Holger Magnussen for pointing my nose at this problem.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00

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.

V4L/DVB (4028): Change dvb_frontend_ops to be a real field instead of a pointer field inside dvb_frontend

2006-06-25T05:00:42+00:00

The dvb_frontend_ops is a pointer inside dvb_frontend. That's why every demod-driver
is having a field of dvb_frontend_ops in its private-state-struct and
using the reference for filling the pointer-field in dvb_frontend.
- It saves at least two lines of code per demod-driver,
- reduces object size (one less dereference per frontend_ops-access),
- be coherent with dvb_tuner_ops,
- makes it a little bit easier for newbies to understand how it works and
- avoids stupid mistakes because you would have to copy the dvb_frontend_ops
  always, before you could assign the static pointer directly, which was
  dangerous.
