      ahci: don't enter slumber on power down · 07c53dac
      Tejun Heo authored 
      Some ATA/ATAPI devices act weirdly after the link is put into slumber
mode.  Some hang completely requiring physical power removal while
others fail to wake up till the link is hardreset a couple of times.

The addition of slumber on power down was never driven by real need.
It just followed what ahci spec said literally.  The spec itself seems
faulty in that it doesn't consider devices (not controllers) which
don't support link powersaving mode.

Theory never matches reality when it comes to dark allys of cheap
ATA/ATAPI world.  It's just unrealistic to expect vendors to test
rarely used link powersaving feature rigorously.  This patch makes
ahci more friendly to the coldness of reality.

This shouldn't have any negative effect - when suspend operation
succeeds, we power off the whole machine; otherwise, we wake up
everything.  I can't see any reason to be so elaborate with powering
down the link in the first place.

      ahci: make ULi M5288 ignore interface fatal error bit · 82490c09
      Tejun Heo authored 
      As with JMicron controllers, ULi M5288 sets interface fatal error bit
on device error including ATAPI CC.  This makes libata hardreset the
port on ATAPI CC thus making it impossible to use.  Ignore interface
fatal error bit on ULi M5288.  This fixes bugzilla bug #7837.

      [PATCH] ahci: do not powerdown during initialization · 8e16f941
      Tejun Heo authored 
      ahci_init_controller() calls ahci_deinit_port() to make sure the
controller is stopped before initializing the controller.  In turn,
ahci_deinit_port() invokes ahci_power_down() to power down the port.
If the controller supports slumber mode, the link is put into it.

Unfortunately, some devices don't implement link powersaving mode
properly and show erratic behavior after link is put into slumber
mode.  For example, HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H30N completely locks up on
slumber transition and can only be recovered with the *REAL* hard
reset - power removal and reapply.

Note that this makes the first probing reset different from all
others.  If the above dvd-ram is hotplugged after ahci is initialized,
no problem occurs because ahci is already fully initialized with phy
powered up.  So, this might also be the reason for other weird AHCI
initial probing abnormalities.

This patch moves power up/down out of port init/deinit and call them
only when needed.

Power down is now called only when suspending.  As system suspend
usually involves powering down 12v for storage devices, this shouldn't
cause problem even if the attached device doesn't support slumber
mode.  However, in partial power management and suspend failure cases,
devices might lock up after suspend attempt.  I thought about removing
transition to slumber mode altogether but ahci spec mandates it before
HBA D3 state transition.  Blacklisting such devices might be the
solution.

      [PATCH] ahci: ignore PORT_IRQ_IF_ERR on JMB controllers · 41669553
      Tejun Heo authored 
      JMicron AHCI controllers set PORT_IRQ_IF_ERR on device errors.  The
IRQ status bit indicates interface error or protocol mismatch and ahci
driver interprets it into AC_ERR_ATA_BUS.  So, whenever an ATAPI
device raises check condition, ahci interprets it as ATA bus error and
thus resets it which, in turn, raises check condition thus creating a
reset loop and rendering the device unuseable.

This patch makes JMB controllers ignore PORT_IRQ_IF_ERR when
interpreting error condition.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells authored 
      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.

      libata: Grand renaming. · cca3974e
      Jeff Garzik authored 
      The biggest change is that ata_host_set is renamed to ata_host.

* ata_host_set			=> ata_host
* ata_probe_ent->host_flags	=> ata_probe_ent->port_flags
* ata_probe_ent->host_set_flags	=> ata_probe_ent->_host_flags
* ata_host_stats		=> ata_port_stats
* ata_port->host		=> ata_port->scsi_host
* ata_port->host_set		=> ata_port->host
* ata_port_info->host_flags	=> ata_port_info->flags
* ata_(.*)host_set(.*)\(\)	=> ata_\1host\2()

The leading underscore in ata_probe_ent->_host_flags is to avoid
reusing ->host_flags for different purpose.  Currently, the only user
of the field is libata-bmdma.c and probe_ent itself is scheduled to be
removed.

ata_port->host is reused for different purpose but this field is used
inside libata core proper and of different type.
