d2a900365b natsemi: Avoid IntrStatus lossage if RX state machine resets.
This patch fixes the poll routine for the natsemi driver so that if the
driver detects an RX state machine lockup then no interrupts will be
lost while the driver recovers from that.

069f825636 natsemi: Fix NAPI for interrupt sharing
The interrupt status register for the natsemi chips is clear on read and
was read unconditionally from both the interrupt and from the NAPI poll
routine, meaning that if the interrupt service routine was called (for
example, due to a shared interrupt) while a NAPI poll was scheduled
interrupts could be missed.  This patch fixes that by ensuring that the
interrupt status register is only read by the interrupt handler when
interrupts are enabled from the chip.

It also reverts a workaround for this problem from the netpoll hook and
improves the trace for interrupt events.

Thanks to Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> for spotting the
issue, Mark Huth <mhuth@mvista.com> for a simpler method and Simon
Blake <simon@citylink.co.nz> for testing resources.

14fdd90ef2 natsemi: Consistently use interrupt enable/disable functions
The natsemi drivers include functions for enabling and disabling
interrupts from the chip but these are not used in all code paths.  This
patch changes the code paths that touch the interrupt enable register to
use the functions.  In all cases this adds an extra PCI read to post the
operation but since none of these are in fast paths this shouldn't be
too much of a problem.

6006f7f517 natsemi: netpoll fixes
Fix two issues in this driver's netpoll path: one usual, with spin_unlock_irq()
enabling interrupts which nobody asks it to do (that has been fixed recently in
a number of drivers) and one unusual, with poll_controller() method possibly
causing loss of interrupts due to the interrupt status register being cleared
by a simple read and the interrpupt handler simply storing it, not accumulating.

36c843d5e3 natsemi: Fix detection of vanilla natsemi cards
Bob Tracy <rct@gherkin.frus.com> reported that the addition of support
for Aculab E1/T1 cPCI carrier cards broke detection of vanilla natsemi
cards.  This patch fixes that: the problem is that the driver-specific
ta in the PCI device table is an index into a second table and this
had not been updated for the vanilla cards.

This patch fixes the problem minimally.

68c90166e4 natsemi: Add support for using MII port with no PHY
This patch provides code paths which allow the natsemi driver to use the
external MII port on the chip but ignore any PHYs that may be attached to it.
The link state will be left as it was when the driver started and can be
configured via ethtool.  Any PHYs that are present can be accessed via the MII
ioctl()s.

This is useful for systems where the device is connected without a PHY
or where either information or actions outside the scope of the driver
are required in order to use the PHYs.

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.

d5b20697ca [PATCH] Remove more unnecessary driver printk's
As I promised last week, here is the first pass at removing all
unnecessary printk's that exist in network device drivers currently in
promiscuous mode.  The duplicate messages are not needed so they have
been removed.  Some of these drivers are quite old and might not need an
update, but I did them all anyway.

I am currently auditing the remaining conditional printk's and will send
out a patch for those soon.

03a8c6611a [netdrvr] Remove Linux-specific changelogs from several Becker template drivers
When in-kernel net drivers branched from Donald Becker's vanilla driver
set, in the days before BitKeeper and git, a driver changelog was
maintained in the driver source code.  These days, the kernel's
changelog is far superior and much more accurate, so the in-driver
changelogs are removed.

Another relic of the Becker/kernel split was version numbering, using
"foo-LKx.y.z" notation, resulting in weird version numbers like
"1.17b-LK1.1.9".  These drivers are for older hardware, and see few
changes these days, so the version numbers were all bumped to something
more simple.

Finally, in xircom_tulip_cb specifically, an additional cleanup removes
the always-enabled CARDBUS cpp macro.

932ff279a4 [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.

With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.

While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.

So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.

I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.

This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.

The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

e72fd96e8e [PATCH] natsemi: NAPI and a bugfix
As documented in National application note 1287 the RX state machine on
the natsemi chip can lock up under some conditions (mostly related to
heavy load).  When this happens a series of bogus packets are reported
by the chip including some oversized frames prior to the final lockup.

This patch implements the fix from the application note: when an
oversized packet is reported it resets the RX state machine, dropping
any currently pending packets.

689be43945 [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers.
Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.

In these situations, the code roughly looks like:

	dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);

	[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);

	... skb->tail ...

But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail.  So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.

Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers.  It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.

Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge.  In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

I've got a pair of FA312 cards and this problem has bothered me
for ages.  This has finally prompted me to do something about it :)

Turns out that somebody wasn't following the documentation.  We were
doing 16-bit writes to 32-bit registers which led to some addresses
working and others not so lucky.

This patch should fix the problem.
