2010-10-12genirq: Prepare proc for real sparse irq supportThomas Gleixner
/proc/irq never removes any entries, but when irq descriptors can be freed for real this is necessary. Otherwise we'd reference a freed descriptor in /proc/irq/N Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-10-12genirq: Implement a sane sparse_irq allocatorThomas Gleixner
The current sparse_irq allocator has several short comings due to failures in the design or the lack of it: - Requires iteration over the number of active irqs to find a free slot (Some architectures have grown their own workarounds for this) - Removal of entries is not possible - Racy between create_irq_nr and destroy_irq (plugged by horrible callbacks) - Migration of active irq descriptors is not possible - No bulk allocation of irq ranges - Sprinkeled irq_desc references all over the place outside of kernel/irq/ (The previous chip functions series is addressing this issue) Implement a sane allocator which fixes the above short comings (though migration of active descriptors needs a full tree wide cleanup of the direct and mostly unlocked access to irq_desc). The new allocator still uses a radix_tree, but uses a bitmap for keeping track of allocated irq numbers. That allows: - Fast lookup of a free slot - Allows the removal of descriptors - Prevents the create/destroy race - Bulk allocation of consecutive irq ranges - Basic design is ready for migration of life descriptors after further cleanups The bitmap is also used in the SPARSE_IRQ=n case for lookup and raceless (de)allocation of irq numbers. So it removes the requirement for looping through the descriptor array to find slots. Right now it uses sparse_irq_lock to protect the bitmap and the radix tree, but after cleaning up all users we should be able convert that to a mutex and to switch the radix_tree and decriptor allocations to GFP_KERNEL.

2010-10-12genirq: Provide default irq init flagsThomas Gleixner
Arch code sets it's own irq_desc.status flags right after boot and for dynamically allocated interrupts. That might involve iterating over a huge array. Allow ARCH_IRQ_INIT_FLAGS to set separate flags aside of IRQ_DISABLED which is the default. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-10-12genirq: Remove export of kstat_irqs_cpuThomas Gleixner
The statistics accessor is only used by proc/stats and show_interrupts(). Both are compiled in. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-10-12genirq: Remove early_init_irq_lock_class()Thomas Gleixner
early_init_irq_lock_class() is called way before anything touches the irq descriptors. In case of SPARSE_IRQ=y this is a NOP operation because the radix tree is empty at this point. For the SPARSE_IRQ=n case it's sufficient to set the lock class in early_init_irq(). Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2010-10-12genirq: Distangle kernel/irq/handle.cThomas Gleixner
kernel/irq/handle.c has become a dumpground for random code in random order. Split out the irq descriptor management and the dummy irq_chip implementation into separate files. Cleanup the include maze while at it. No code change. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
