[PATCH] sound: fix hang in mpu401_uart.c

This fixes a hang in mpu401_uart.c that can occur when the mpu401 interface
is non-existent or otherwise doesn't respond to commands but we issue IO
anyway.  snd_mpu401_uart_cmd now returns an error code that is passed up
the stack so that an open() will fail immediately in such cases.

Eventually discovered after wine/cxoffice would constantly cause hard
lockups on my desktop immediately after loading (emulating Windows too
well).  Turned out that I'd recently moved my sound cards around and using
/dev/sequencer now talks to a sound card with a broken MPU.

This second version changes -EFAULT to -EIO and frees open resources on
error too.  Test booted and seems to work ok.

The alim15x3.c havn't been update for 3 years.  Recently when we use this
"ULI M1573" south bridge chip found that can't mount CDROM(VCD) smoothly,
must waiting for a long time.  After I check the "ULI M1573" south bridge

the Linux is "0xC7" not "0xC4" anymore So I was modified the source than it
was successed.

Hirokazu Takata [Wed, 19 Apr 2006 05:21:20 +0000 (22:21 -0700)]
[PATCH] m32r: Fix pt_regs for !COFNIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2 target

This modification is required to fix debugging function for m32r targets
with !CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2, by unifying 'struct pt_regs' and 'struct
sigcontext' size for all M32R ISA.

Some m32r processor core with !CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2 configuration has only
single accumulator a0 (ex.  VDEC2 core, M32102 core, etc.), the others with
CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2 has two accumulators, a0 and a1.

This means there are two variations of thread context.  So far, we reduced
and changed stackframe size at a syscall for their context size.  However,
this causes a problem that a GDB for processors with CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2
cannot be used for processors with !CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2.

From the viewpoint of GDB support, we should reduce such variation of
stackframe size for simplicity.

In this patch, dummy members are added to 'struct pt_regs' and 'struct
sigcontext' to adjust their size for !CONFIG_ISA_DSP_LEVEL2.

This modification is also a one step for a GDB update in future.
Currently, on the m32r, GDB can access process's context by using ptrace
functions in a simple way of register by register access.  By unifying
stackframe size, we have a possibility to make use of ptrace functions of
not only a single register access but also block register access,
PTRACE_{GETREGS,PUTREGS}.

However, for this purpose, we might have to modify stackframe structure
some more; for example, PSW (processor status word) register should be
pre-processed before pushing to stack at a syscall, and so on.  In this
case, we must update carefully both kernel and GDB at a time...

18 years ago[MIPS] Rewrite all the assembler interrupt handlers to C.

[MIPS] Rewrite all the assembler interrupt handlers to C.

Saves like 1,600 lines of code, is way easier to debug, compilers
frequently do a better job than the cut and paste type of handlers many
boards had.  And finally having all the stuff done in a single place
also means alot of bug potencial for the MT ASE is gone.

The only surviving handler in assembler is the DECstation one; I hope
Maciej will rewrite it.
