6d24998f07 Spidernet RX Debugging printout
Add some debugging and error printing.

The show_rx_chain() prints out the status of the rx chain,
which shows that the status of the descriptors gets
messed up after the second & subsequent RX ramfulls.

Print out contents of bad packets if error occurs.

9cc7bf7edf [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet refine locking
The transmit side of the spider ethernet driver currently
places locks around some very large chunks of code. This
results in a fair amount of lock contention is some cases.
This patch makes the locks much more fine-grained, protecting
only the cirtical sections. One lock is used to protect
three locations: the queue head and tail pointers, and the
queue low-watermark location.

204e5fa17c [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet low watermark patch.
Implement basic low-watermark support for the transmit queue.
Hardware low-watermarks allow a properly configured kernel
to continously stream data to a device and not have to handle
any interrupts at all in doing so. Correct zero-interrupt
operation can be actually observed for this driver, when the
socket buffer is made large enough.

The basic idea of a low-watermark interrupt is as follows.
The device driver queues up a bunch of packets for the hardware
to transmit, and then kicks the hardware to get it started.
As the hardware drains the queue of pending, untransmitted
packets, the device driver will want to know when the queue
is almost empty, so that it can queue some more packets.

If the queue drains down to the low waterark, then an interrupt
will be generated. However, if the kernel/driver continues
to add enough packets to keep the queue partially filled,
no interrupt will actually be generated, and the hardware
can continue streaming packets indefinitely in this mode.

The impelmentation is done by setting the DESCR_TXDESFLG flag
in one of the packets. When the hardware sees this flag, it will
interrupt the device driver. Because this flag is on a fixed
packet, rather than at  fixed location in the queue, the
code below needs to move the flag as more packets are
queued up. This implementation attempts to keep the flag
at about 1/4 from "empty".

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.

1a2509c946 [POWERPC] netdevices: Constify & voidify get_property()
Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its
return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can
constify get_property later.

powerpc-specific network device driver changes.

bdd01503c3 [PATCH] spidernet: rework tx queue handling
With this patch TX queue descriptors are not chained per default any more.
The pointer to next descriptor is set only when next descriptor is prepaired
for transfer. Also the mechanism of checking wether Spider is ready has been
changed: it checks not for CARDOWNED flag in status of previous descriptor
but for a TXDMAENABLED flag in Spider's register.

8e0a613bf6 [PATCH] spidernet: fix HW structures for 64 bit dma_addr_t
The driver incorrectly used dma_addr_t to describe
HW structures and consequently broke when that type
was changed in 2.6.15-rc.

This changed spidernet to use u32 for 32 bit HW defined
structure elements.

030d6753f8 [PATCH] spidernet: read firmware from the OF device tree
request_firmware() is sometimes problematic, especially
in initramfs, reading the firmware from Open Firmware
is much preferrable.

We still try to get the firmware from the file system
first, in order to support old SLOF releases and to allow
updates of the spidernet firmware without reflashing
the system.

aaec0fab5f [PATCH] net: add driver for the NIC on Cell Blades
This patch adds a driver for a new 1000 Mbit ethernet NIC.  It is
integrated on the south bridge that is used for our Cell Blades.

The code gets the MAC address from the Open Firmware device tree, so it
won't compile on platforms other than ppc64.

This is the first public release, so I don't expect the first version to
get merged, but I'd aim for integration within the 2.6.13 time frame.
