[PATCH 00/18] genirq: Remove setup_irq()

[PATCH 00/18] genirq: Remove setup_irq()

[afzal mohammed]

While trying to understand internals of irq handling, came across a
thread [1] in which tglx was referring to avoid usage of setup_irq().
Existing callers of setup_irq() reached mostly via 'init_IRQ()' &
'time_init()', while memory allocators are ready by 'mm_init()'.

Hence instances of setup_irq() is replaced by request_irq() &
setup_irq() (along with remove_irq()) definition deleted in the last
patch.

Seldom remove_irq() usage has been observed coupled with setup_irq(),
wherever that has been found, it too has been replaced by free_irq().

Build & boot tested on ARM & x86_64 platforms (ensured that on the
machines used for testing there was an existing setup_irq()
invocation occuring at runtime)

Much of the changes were created using Coccinelle with an intention
to learn it. spatch command was directly run w/ semantic patch below.
But not everything could be automated.

Searching with 'git grep -n '\Wsetup_irq('' & avoiding the irrelevant
ones, 153 invocation's of setup_irq() were found. 112 could be replaced
w/ cocci, of which in a few files some desired hunks were missing or
not as expected, these were fixed up manually. Also the remaining 41
had to be done manually.

Although cocci could replace 112, because of line continue not
happening at paranthesis for request_irq(), around 80 had to be
manually aligned in the request_irq() statement. Problem was with my
below cocci snippet,

- setup_irq(E1,&act);
+ if (request_irq(E1,f_handler,f_flags,f_name,f_dev_id))
+ 	pr_err("request_irq() on %s failed\n", f_name);

Instead of the above, if below is used, line continue happens exactly
at paranthesis, but it lacks addition of printing on request_irq()
failure where existing setup_irq() failure was not doing it.

- setup_irq(E1,&act)
+ request_irq(E1,f_handler,f_flags,f_name,f_dev_id)

Above had an additional advantage of replacing instances of
if (setup_irq()) & BUG(setup_irq()), but luckily those instances were
very few.

So though many changes could be automated, there are a considerable
amount of manual changes, please review carefully especially mips &
alpha.

Usage of setup_percpu_irq() is untouched w/ this series.

There are 2 checkpatch warning about usage of BUG() [which was already
there w/ setup_irq()], they are left as is as it seems appropriate for
tick timer interrupt.

[PATCH 16/18] clocksource: Replace setup_irq() by request_irq()

[afzal mohammed]

request_irq() is preferred over setup_irq(). Existing callers of
setup_irq() reached mostly via 'init_IRQ()' & 'time_init()', while
memory allocators are ready by 'mm_init()'.

Per tglx[1], setup_irq() existed in olden days when allocators were not
ready by the time early interrupts were initialized.

Hence replace setup_irq() by request_irq().

Seldom remove_irq() usage has been observed coupled with setup_irq(),
wherever that has been found, it too has been replaced by free_irq().

thanks a lot for tackling this!

Vs. merging this series, I suggest the following approach:

   - Resubmit the individual changes as single patches or small series
     to the relevant maintainers and subsystem mailing lists. They have
     no dependency on a core change and can be applied where they belong
     to.

   - After 5.6-rc6, verify which parts have made their way into
     linux-next and resubmit the ignored ones as a series to me along
     with the removal of the core parts.

That way we can avoid conflicting changes between subsystems and the tip
irq/core branch as much as possible.

Thanks,

        tglx

[PATCH 0/6] Kill setup_irq()

[afzal mohammed]

Hi Thomas,

As compared to the situation mentioned earlier[1], now powerpc patch is
also in -next, and the pending ARM patches has been picked up by ARM SoC
maintainers today and is expected to show up in next -next. All other
subsytem patches has been picked by relevant maintainers & are already
in -next except alpha, c6x, hexagon, unicore32 & sh.

As it is the case, i am sending you patches for the above 5
architecture's plus the core removal patch.

Status of 5 arch's:
-------------------
alpha:		received ack from Matt Turner, build test success
c6x:		did receive ack from Mark Salter in v1, the final
		 version (v3) was with minor changes, hence removed his
		 ack & cc'ed him, build test success
hexagon:	build test success
unicore32:	couldn't get toolchain from kernel.org, 0day test robot
		 or Segher's buildall
sh:		To compile the relevant changes sh64 compiler is
		 required, couldn't get it from above mentioned 3
		 sources.

Note 1: sh toolchain is available, but that will not make the
 relevant changes compile as it has dependency of 64bit arch toolchain,
 did try a Kconfig hack to make it compile w/ 32bit sh toolchain, but it
 failed due to other reasons (unknown operands), so gave up on that.
Note 2: hexagon final image creation fails even w/o my patch, but it
 has been ensured that w/ my changes relevant object files are getting
 built  w/o warnings.
