Clean up several code points in which the return code from misc_register is
not handled properly.
Several modules failed to deregister various hooks when misc_register fails,
and this patch cleans them up. Also there are a few modules that legitimately
don't care about the failure status of misc register. These drivers however
unilaterally call misc_deregister on module unload.
Since misc_register doesn't initialize the list_head in the init_routine if it
fails, the deregister operation is at risk for oopsing when list_del is
called. The initial solution was to manually init the list in the miscdev
structure in each of those modules, but the consensus in this thread was to
consolodate and do that universally inside misc_register.

The keyboard is connected via GPIOs to the processor, and scanned
using a column sample register. The hardware provides no debouncing
mechanism, so the state of the keys is read KBDSCAN_STABLE_COUNT
times before being reported to the input layer.
The status of the keys needs to be polled because there is no
interrupt hooked to the lines. A workqueue is used for this.

Perform actual driver registration right in serio_register_driver()
instead of offloading it to kseriod and return proper error code to
callers if driver registration fails.
Note that driver <-> port matching is still done by kseriod to
speed up boot process since probing for PS/2 mice and keyboards
is pretty slow.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

MUX error handling has a workaround for KBCs that get confused which
port data came from and signal MUXERR while data is actually good.
Unfortunately this workaround hurts with KBCs that signal timeouts
as 0xfc (spec says that only 0xfd, 0xfe and 0xff are alowed with
MUXERR) since it causes endless attempts to rescan i8042 serio
ports. The solution is to treat 0xfc as timeout (0xfe).

In mousedev the BTN_LEFT and BTN_FORWARD were mapped to mouse button 0,
causing that the user space program cannot distinguish between them through
/dev/input/mice. All mice have BTN_LEFT, but not all have BTN_MIDDLE (e.g.
Clevo D410J laptop). Mapping BTN_FORWARD to mouse button 2 makes the
BTN_FORWARD button useful on this laptop.

Remove call to i8042_interrupt() from i8042_aux_write(). According
to Vojtech it may cause problems with older controllers if it is
called right after real interrupt. Also it is not needed anymore
since we register IRQs early and not waiting for serio ports to

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.
