Stephen Rothwell a6bc3262c5 sparseirq, powerpc/cell: fix unused variable warning in interrupt.c
This new compiler warning:

   arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/interrupt.c: In function 'handle_iic_irq':
   arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/interrupt.c:240: warning: unused variable 'cpu'

Triggers because the local variable 'cpu' became unused due to commit:

   dee4102: sparseirq: use kstat_irqs_cpu instead

Remove the variable.

Ingo Molnar 74019224ac timers: add mod_timer_pending()
Impact: new timer API

Based on an idea from Martin Josefsson with the help of
Patrick McHardy and Stephen Hemminger:

introduce the mod_timer_pending() API which is a mod_timer()
offspring that is an invariant on already removed timers.

(regular mod_timer() re-activates non-pending timers.)

This is useful for the networking code in that it can
allow unserialized mod_timer_pending() timer-forwarding
calls, but a single del_timer*() will stop the timer
from being reactivated again.

Also while at it:

- optimize the regular mod_timer() path some more, the
  timer-stat and a debug check was needlessly duplicated
  in __mod_timer().

- make the exports come straight after the function, as
  most other exports in timer.c already did.

- eliminate __mod_timer() as an external API, change the
  users to mod_timer().

The regular mod_timer() code path is not impacted
significantly, due to inlining optimizations and due to
the simplifications.

Ingo Molnar fe333321e2 powerpc: Change u64/s64 to a long long integer type
Convert arch/powerpc/ over to long long based u64:

 -#ifdef __powerpc64__
 -# include <asm-generic/int-l64.h>
 -#else
 -# include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
 -#endif
 +#include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>

This will avoid reoccuring spurious warnings in core kernel code that
comes when people test on their own hardware. (i.e. x86 in ~98% of the
cases) This is what x86 uses and it generally helps keep 64-bit code
32-bit clean too.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 64b3d0e812 powerpc/mm: Rework usage of _PAGE_COHERENT/NO_CACHE/GUARDED
Currently, we never set _PAGE_COHERENT in the PTEs, we just OR it in
in the hash code based on some CPU feature bit.  We also manipulate
_PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_GUARDED by hand in all sorts of places.

This changes the logic so that instead, the PTE now contains
_PAGE_COHERENT for all normal RAM pages thay have I = 0 on platforms
that need it.  The hash code clears it if the feature bit is not set.

It also adds some clean accessors to setup various valid combinations
of access flags and change various bits of code to use them instead.

This should help having the PTE actually containing the bit
combinations that we really want.

I also removed _PAGE_GUARDED from _PAGE_BASE on 44x and instead
set it explicitely from the TLB miss.  I will ultimately remove it
completely as it appears that it might not be needed after all
but in the meantime, having it in the TLB miss makes things a
lot easier.

Arnd Bergmann 23e0e8afaf powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Fix MSI after kexec
Commit d015fe995 'powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt'
has turned a rare failure to kexec on QS22 into a reproducible
error, which we have now analysed.

The problem is that after a kexec, the MSIC hardware still points
into the middle of the old ring buffer.  We set up the ring buffer
during reboot, but not the offset into it.  On older kernels, this
would cause a storm of thousands of spurious interrupts after a
kexec, which would most of the time get dropped silently.

With the new code, we time out on each interrupt, waiting for
it to become valid.  If more interrupts come in that we time
out on, this goes on indefinitely, which eventually leads to
a hard crash.

The solution in this commit is to read the current offset from
the MSIC when reinitializing it.  This now works correctly, as
expected.

Arnd Bergmann d015fe9951 powerpc/cell/axon-msi: Retry on missing interrupt
The MSI capture logic for the axon bridge can sometimes
lose interrupts in case of high DMA and interrupt load,
when it signals an MSI interrupt to the MPIC interrupt
controller while we are already handling another MSI.

Each MSI vector gets written into a FIFO buffer in main
memory using DMA, and that DMA access is normally flushed
by the actual interrupt packet on the IOIF.  An MMIO
register in the MSIC holds the position of the last
entry in the FIFO buffer that was written.  However,
reading that position does not flush the DMA, so that
we can observe stale data in the buffer.

In a stress test, we have observed the DMA to arrive
up to 14 microseconds after reading the register.

This patch works around this problem by retrying the
access to the FIFO buffer.

We can reliably detect the conditioning by writing
an invalid MSI vector into the FIFO buffer after
reading from it, assuming that all MSIs we get
are valid.  After detecting an invalid MSI vector,
we udelay(1) in the interrupt cascade for up to
100 times before giving up.

Jeremy Kerr 606572634c powerpc/spufs: Fix spinning in spufs_ps_fault on signal
Currently, we can end up in an infinite loop if we get a signal
while the kernel has faulted in spufs_ps_fault. Eg:

 alarm(1);

 write(fd, some_spu_psmap_register_address, 4);

- the write's copy_from_user will fault on the ps mapping, and
signal_pending will be non-zero. Because returning from the fault
handler will never clear TIF_SIGPENDING, so we'll just keep faulting,
resulting in an unkillable process using 100% of CPU.

This change returns VM_FAULT_SIGBUS if there's a fatal signal pending,
letting us escape the loop.

Mark Nelson f9226d572d powerpc: Update remaining dma_mapping_ops to use map/unmap_page
After the merge of the 32 and 64bit DMA code, dma_direct_ops lost
their map/unmap_single() functions but gained map/unmap_page().  This
caused a problem for Cell because Cell's dma_iommu_fixed_ops called
the dma_direct_ops if the fixed linear mapping was to be used or the
iommu ops if the dynamic window was to be used.  So in order to fix
this problem we need to update the 64bit DMA code to use
map/unmap_page.

First, we update the generic IOMMU code so that iommu_map_single()
becomes iommu_map_page() and iommu_unmap_single() becomes
iommu_unmap_page().  Then we propagate these changes up through all
the callers of these two functions and in the process update all the
dma_mapping_ops so that they have map/unmap_page rahter than
map/unmap_single.  We can do this because on 64bit there is no HIGHMEM
memory so map/unmap_page ends up performing exactly the same function
as map/unmap_single, just taking different arguments.

This has no affect on drivers because the dma_map_single_attrs() just
ends up calling the map_page() function of the appropriate
dma_mapping_ops and similarly the dma_unmap_single_attrs() calls
unmap_page().

This fixes an oops on Cell blades, which oops on boot without this
because they call dma_direct_ops.map_single, which is NULL.

Mohan Kumar M 54622f10a6 powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel
This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can
use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234)
is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence
and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between
kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels.

The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in
head_64.S.  During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it
is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel
will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the
address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter.

CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump
kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and
kdump kernel.

This patch incorporates the changes suggested by Paul Mackerras to avoid
GOT use and to avoid two copies of the code.

Milton Miller 6a75a6b8e8 powerpc: Use cpu_thread_in_core in smp_init for of_spin_map
We used to assume that even numbered threads were the primary
threads, ie those that would be listed and started as a cpu from
open firmware.  Replace a left over is even (% 2) check with a check
for it being a primary thread and update the comments.

Tested with a debug print on pseries, identical code found for cell.

Andre Detsch 10baa26c8c powerpc/spufs: Improve search of node for contexts with SPU affinity
This patch improves redability of the code responsible for trying to find
a node with enough SPUs not committed to other affinity gangs.

An additional check is also added, to avoid taking into account gangs that
have no SPU affinity.

Jeremy Kerr f027faa231 powerpc/spufs: Don't spu_acquire_saved unnecessarily in regs read
With most file readers (eg cat, dd), reading a context's regs file will
result in two reads: the first to read the data, and the second to
return EOF. Because each read performs a spu_acquire_saved, we end up
descheduling and re-scheduling the context twice.

This change does a simple check to see if we'd return EOF before
calling spu_acquire_saved(), saving the extra schedule operation.

Jeremy Kerr 14f693eeb5 powerpc/spufs: Don't require full buffer in switch_log read
Currently, read() on the sputrace log will block until the read buffer
is full. This makes it difficult to retrieve the end of the buffer, as
the user will need to read with the right-sized buffer.

In a similar method as 91553a1b5e0df006a3573a88d98ee7cd48a3818a, this
change makes the switch_log return if there has already been data
read.

Jeremy Kerr f5ed0eb6fe powerpc/spufs: Use state_mutex for switch_log locking, and prevent multiple openers
Currently, we use ctx->mapping_lock and ctx->switch_log->lock for the
context switch log. The mapping lock only prevents concurrent open()s,
so we require the switch_lock->lock for reads.

Since writes to the switch log buffer occur on context switches, we're
better off synchronising with the state_mutex, which is held during a
switch. Since we're serialised througout the buffer reads and writes,
we can use the state mutex to protect open and release too, and
can now kfree() the log buffer on release. This allows us to perform
the switch log notify without taking any extra locks.

Because the buffer is only present while the file is open, we can use
it to prevent multiple simultaneous openers.

Jeremy Kerr e869446bb6 powerpc/spufs: sputrace: Don't block until the read buffer is full
Currently, read() on the sputrace buffer will only return data when
the user buffer is exhausted. This may mean that we never see the
end of the event log, unless we read() with exactly the right-sized
buffer.

This change makes sputrace_read not block if we have data ready to
return.

Jeremy Kerr baf399273f powerpc/spufs: sputrace: Only enable logging on open(), prevent multiple openers
Currently, sputrace will start logging to the event buffer before the
log buffer has been open()ed. This results in a heap of "lost samples"
warnings if the sputrace file hasn't yet been opened.

Since the buffer is reset on open() anyway, there's no need to enable
logging when no-one has opened the log.

Because open clears the log, make it return EBUSY for mutliple open
calls.
