drivers/char/hangcheck-timer.c is doubly broken. When the overflown value
of TIMER_FREQ is abnormally low, it spams the syslog with KERN_CRIT
messages "Hangcheck: hangcheck value past margin!" But whether it happens
or not depends on HZ and lpj in a complex way. People have hit it
occasionally as far as google search can tell.

First, the following line overflows unsigned long:

# define TIMER_FREQ (HZ*loops_per_jiffy)

Second, and more importantly, loops_per_jiffy has little to do with the
con= version from the the time scale of get_cycles() (aka rdtsc) to the
time scale of jiffies.

The attached patch resolves both of the problems.

e8edc6e03a5c8562dc70a6d969f732bdb355a7e7 20-May-2007 Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Detach sched.h from mm.h

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5 05-Oct-2006 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> 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.

John's about to nuke x86's monotonic clock without grepping for it first. The
patch lamely borrows the ppc64 code for x86.

hangcheck-timer shouldn't be doing it this way

a) HAVE_MONOTONIC should be CONFIG_MONOTONIC_CLOCK and it should be defined
in arch/xxx/Kconfig.

b) That ifdef tangle shouldn't be in hangcheck-timer.c. It should be using
arch-provided helper functions, which CONFIG_MONOTONIC_CLOCK-enabling
architectures implement in arch/something.c

Add hangcheck-timer option, copied from drivers/char/Kconfig. This is ugly
but unless we have a big Kconfig cleanup we cannot include
drivers/char/Kconfig...

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
