Geoff Levand e28b003136 [POWERPC] cell: abstract spu management routines
This adds a platform specific spu management abstraction and the coresponding
routines to support the IBM Cell Blade.  It also removes the hypervisor only
resources that were included in struct spu.

Three new platform specific routines are introduced, spu_enumerate_spus(),
spu_create_spu() and spu_destroy_spu().  The underlying design uses a new
type, struct spu_management_ops, to hold function pointers that the platform
setup code is expected to initialize to instances appropriate to that platform.

For the IBM Cell Blade support, I put the hypervisor only resources that were
in struct spu into a platform specific data structure struct spu_pdata.

Dwayne Grant McConnell bf1ab978be [POWERPC] coredump: Add SPU elf notes to coredump.
This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note
for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1,
/signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status,
/mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id.

A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to
specify they have extra elf core notes.

A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the
additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry.

A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes
would be written after the existing notes.

The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the
kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via
register_arch_coredump_calls().

A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the
coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the
SPU context for each file read from.

Paul Mackerras 974a76f513 [POWERPC] Distinguish POWER6 partition modes and tell userspace
This adds code to look at the properties firmware puts in the device
tree to determine what compatibility mode the partition is in on
POWER6 machines, and set the ELF aux vector AT_HWCAP and AT_PLATFORM
entries appropriately.

Specifically, we look at the cpu-version property in the cpu node(s).
If that contains a "logical" PVR value (of the form 0x0f00000x), we
call identify_cpu again with this PVR value.  A value of 0x0f000001
indicates the partition is in POWER5+ compatibility mode, and a value
of 0x0f000002 indicates "POWER6 architected" mode, with various
extensions disabled.  We also look for various other properties:
ibm,dfp, ibm,purr and ibm,spurr.

Maynard Johnson 18f2190d79 [POWERPC] cell: Add oprofile support
Add PPU event-based and cycle-based profiling support to Oprofile for Cell.

Oprofile is expected to collect data on all CPUs simultaneously.
However, there is one set of performance counters per node.  There are
two hardware threads or virtual CPUs on each node.  Hence, OProfile must
multiplex in time the performance counter collection on the two virtual
CPUs.

The multiplexing of the performance counters is done by a virtual
counter routine.  Initially, the counters are configured to collect data
on the even CPUs in the system, one CPU per node.  In order to capture
the PC for the virtual CPU when the performance counter interrupt occurs
(the specified number of events between samples has occurred), the even
processors are configured to handle the performance counter interrupts
for their node.  The virtual counter routine is called via a kernel
timer after the virtual sample time.  The routine stops the counters,
saves the current counts, loads the last counts for the other virtual
CPU on the node, sets interrupts to be handled by the other virtual CPU
and restarts the counters, the virtual timer routine is scheduled to run
again.  The virtual sample time is kept relatively small to make sure
sampling occurs on both CPUs on the node with a relatively small
granularity.  Whenever the counters overflow, the performance counter
interrupt is called to collect the PC for the CPU where data is being
collected.

The oprofile driver relies on a firmware RTAS call to setup the debug bus
to route the desired signals to the performance counter hardware to be
counted.  The RTAS call must set the routing registers appropriately in
each of the islands to pass the signals down the debug bus as well as
routing the signals from a particular island onto the bus.  There is a
second firmware RTAS call to reset the debug bus to the non pass thru
state when the counters are not in use.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 4cb3cee03d [POWERPC] Allow hooking of PCI MMIO & PIO accessors on 64 bits
This patch reworks the way iSeries hooks on PCI IO operations (both MMIO
and PIO) and provides a generic way for other platforms to do so (we
have need to do that for various other platforms).

While reworking the IO ops, I ended up doing some spring cleaning in
io.h and eeh.h which I might want to split into 2 or 3 patches (among
others, eeh.h had a lot of useless stuff in it).

A side effect is that EEH for PIO should work now (it used to pass IO
ports down to the eeh address check functions which is bogus).

Also, new are MMIO "repeat" ops, which other archs like ARM already had,
and that we have too now: readsb, readsw, readsl, writesb, writesw,
writesl.

In the long run, I might also make EEH use the hooks instead
of wrapping at the toplevel, which would make things even cleaner and
relegate EEH completely in platforms/iseries, but we have to measure the
performance impact there (though it's really only on MMIO reads)

Since I also need to hook on ioremap, I shuffled the functions a bit
there. I introduced ioremap_flags() to use by drivers who want to pass
explicit flags to ioremap (and it can be hooked). The old __ioremap() is
still there as a low level and cannot be hooked, thus drivers who use it
should migrate unless they know they want the low level version.

The patch "arch provides generic iomap missing accessors" (should be
number 4 in this series) is a pre-requisite to provide full iomap
API support with this patch.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 7eebde700f [POWERPC] Souped-up of_platform_device support
This patch first splits of_device.c and of_platform.c, the later containing
the bits relative to of_platform_device's. On the "breaks" side of things,
drivers uisng of_platform_device(s) need to include asm/of_platform.h now
and of_(un)register_driver is now of_(un)register_platform_driver.

In addition to a few utility functions to locate of_platform_device(s),
the main new addition is of_platform_bus_probe() which allows the platform
code to trigger an automatic creation of of_platform_devices for a whole
tree of devices.

The function acts based on the type of the various "parent" devices encountered
from a provided root, using either a default known list of bus types that can be
"probed" or a passed-in list. It will only register devices on busses matching
that list, which mean that typically, it will not register PCI devices, as
expected (since they will be picked up by the PCI layer).

This will be used by Cell platforms using 4xx-type IOs in the Axon bridge
and can be used by any embedded-type device as well.

it should be possible to build a DCR-only version of the driver. I need

It makes pci_read_irq_line() called by default in the PCI code for

It also removes ppc_md.irq_bus_setup which was only used by pSeries

I've also removed the pSeries s7a workaround as it can't work with

machines working so I can test a proper fix for that problem.

I also haven't updated the old-style fixup code from 85xx_cds.c
because it's actually buggy :) It assigns pci_dev->irq hard coded
numbers which is no good with the new IRQ mapping code. It should
at least use irq_create_mapping(NULL, hard_coded_number); and possibly
also set_irq_type() to set them as level low.

Hugh Dickins 292f86f005 [POWERPC] Make mmiowb's io_sync preempt safe
If mmiowb() is always used prior to releasing spinlock as Doc suggests,
then it's safe against preemption; but I'm not convinced that's always
the case.  If preemption occurs between sync and get_paca()->io_sync = 0,
I believe there's no problem.  But in the unlikely event that gcc does
the store relative to another register than r13 (as it did with current),
then there's a small danger of setting another cpu's io_sync to 0, after
it had just set it to 1.  Rewrite ppc64 mmiowb to prevent that.

The remaining io_sync assignments in io.h all get_paca()->io_sync = 1,
which is harmless even if preempted to the wrong cpu (the context switch
itself syncs); and those in spinlock.h are while preemption is disabled.

Hugh Dickins 5fe8e8b88e [POWERPC] Make current preempt-safe
Repeated -j20 kernel builds on a G5 Quad running an SMP PREEMPT kernel
would often collapse within a day, some exec failing with "Bad address".
In each case examined, load_elf_binary was doing a kernel_read, but
generic_file_aio_read's access_ok saw current->thread.fs.seg as USER_DS
instead of KERNEL_DS.

objdump of filemap.o shows gcc 4.1.0 emitting "mr r5,r13 ... ld r9,416(r5)"
here for get_paca()->__current, instead of the expected and much more usual
"ld r9,416(r13)"; I've seen other gcc4s do the same, but perhaps not gcc3s.

So, if the task is preempted and rescheduled on a different cpu in between
the mr and the ld, r5 will be looking at a different paca_struct from the
one it's now on, pick up the wrong __current, and perhaps the wrong seg.
Presumably much worse could happen elsewhere, though that split is rare.

Other architectures appear to be safe (x86_64's read_pda is more limiting
than get_paca), but ppc64 needs to force "current" into one instruction.

Linas Vepstas 5d2efba64b [POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systems
The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew
up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by
numerous error messages:

 iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1

Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because
one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when
the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to
exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card.

This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own
unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its
actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE
and then uses this in all the places that matter.

As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance
on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since
we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW
is still 4k).

In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable
in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW
page sizes in the iommu itself.

* Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450

* Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E.  The original

  the reg_setup function would copy the required information into
  variables which represented the registers.  This was silly for
  e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for
  all counters), so the code has been restructured to have
  cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument,
  with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through
  on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the
  model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument.  The
  argument is ignored on all other platforms at present.

Michael Ellerman ff8a8f2597 [POWERPC] add support for stopping spus from xmon
This patch adds support for stopping, and restarting, spus
from xmon. We use the spu master runcntl bit to stop execution,
this is apparently the "right" way to control spu execution and
spufs will be changed in the future to use this bit.

Testing has shown that to restart execution we have to turn the
master runcntl bit on and also rewrite the spu runcntl bit, even
if it is already set to 1 (running).

Stopping spus is triggered by the xmon command 'ss' - "spus stop"
perhaps. Restarting them is triggered via 'sr'. Restart doesn't
start execution on spus unless they were running prior to being
stopped by xmon.

Walking the spu->full_list in xmon after a panic, would mean
corruption of any spu struct would make all the others
inaccessible. To avoid this, and also to make the next patch
easier, we cache pointers to all spus during boot.

We attempt to catch and recover from errors while stopping and
restarting the spus, but as with most xmon functionality there are
no guarantees that performing these operations won't crash xmon
itself.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0909c8c2d5 [POWERPC] Support feature fixups in vdso's
This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up.
The main issue was that the construct:

        .long   label  (or .llong on 64 bits)

will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will
generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc,
which is not something we can deal with in the vdso.

The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like:

1:
        .long   label - 1b

That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of
code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry
itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've
modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest
of the kernel as well.

Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel
need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not
support 32 bits code with a statement of the form:

        .llong  label - 1b  (Or even just .llong label)

That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use
to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific
case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are
using a modified macro that generates:

        .long   0xffffffff
        .llong  label - 1b

Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by
the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always
before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the
other way around).

Paul Mackerras d04c56f73c [POWERPC] Lazy interrupt disabling for 64-bit machines
This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts.  This means
that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
enabled' flag in the paca.  If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
flag in the paca, and returns.  This means that interrupts only
actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.

When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
interrupts got hard-disabled.  If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.

This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.

This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw.  This doesn't
yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
flags.  This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

David Howells 7d12e780e0 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.

Arnd Bergmann 8676727779 [POWERPC] spufs: add infrastructure for finding elf objects
This adds an 'object-id' file that the spe library can
use to store a pointer to its ELF object. This was
originally meant for use by oprofile, but is now
also used by the GNU debugger, if available.

In order for oprofile to find the location in an spu-elf
binary where an event counter triggered, we need a way
to identify the binary in the first place.

Unfortunately, that binary itself can be embedded in a
powerpc ELF binary. Since we can assume it is mapped into
the effective address space of the running process,
have that one write the pointer value into a new spufs
file.

When a context switch occurs, pass the user value to
the profiler so that can look at the mapped file (with
some care).

Arnd Bergmann 6263203ed6 [POWERPC] spufs: Add infrastructure needed for gang scheduling
Add the concept of a gang to spufs as a new type of object.
So far, this has no impact whatsover on scheduling, but makes
it possible to add that later.

A new type of object in spufs is now a spu_gang. It is created
with the spu_create system call with the flags argument set
to SPU_CREATE_GANG (0x2). Inside of a spu_gang, it
is then possible to create spu_context objects, which until
now was only possible at the root of spufs.

There is a new member in struct spu_context pointing to
the spu_gang it belongs to, if any. The spu_gang maintains
a list of spu_context structures that are its children.
This information can then be used in the scheduler in the
future.

There is still a bug that needs to be resolved in this
basic infrastructure regarding the order in which objects
are removed. When the spu_gang file descriptor is closed
before the spu_context descriptors, we leak the dentry
and inode for the gang. Any ideas how to cleanly solve
this are appreciated.

Arnd Bergmann 9add11daee [POWERPC] spufs: implement error event delivery to user space
This tries to fix spufs so we have an interface closer to what is
specified in the man page for events returned in the third argument of
spu_run.

Fortunately, libspe has never been using the returned contents of that
register, as they were the same as the return code of spu_run (duh!).

Unlike the specification that we never implemented correctly, we now
require a SPU_CREATE_EVENTS_ENABLED flag passed to spu_create, in
order to get the new behavior. When this flag is not passed, spu_run
will simply ignore the third argument now.

Mark Nutter a68cf983f6 [POWERPC] spufs: scheduler support for NUMA.
This patch adds NUMA support to the the spufs scheduler.

The new arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/sched.c is greatly
simplified, in an attempt to reduce complexity while adding
support for NUMA scheduler domains.  SPUs are allocated starting
from the calling thread's node, moving to others as supported by
current->cpus_allowed.  Preemption is gone as it was buggy, but
should be re-enabled in another patch when stable.

The new arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c maintains idle
lists on a per-node basis, and allows caller to specify which
node(s) an SPU should be allocated from, while passing -1 tells
spu_alloc() that any node is allowed.

Since the patch removes the currently implemented preemptive
scheduling, it is technically a regression, but practically
all users have since migrated to this version, as it is
part of the IBM SDK and the yellowdog distribution, so there
is not much point holding it back while the new preemptive
scheduling patch gets delayed further.

My patch to make the early xmon logic work with earlier early param
parsing (480f6f35a1) breaks xmon=off.

No one does this obviously as xmon rocks, but it should really work
as documented.

While fixing that it struck me that we could move the xmon param
handling into xmon.c, and also consolidate the
xmon_init()/do_early_xmon logic into xmon_setup(). This means
xmon=early drops into xmon a little earlier on 32-bit, but it

In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:

o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
  The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
  architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
  to specify the ".symbols"
o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
  specify an offset into a symbol.
o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
  However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
  probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
  CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
  the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
  happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
  work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
  work, say, on powerpc)

lock (directed yield).

With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
common code changes.  Powerpc already does this.

With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
_raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c.  If the lock
could not be taken cpu_relax is called.  A directed yield is not possible
because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock.  To be able to
yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed.  The new _raw_spin_relax,
_raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

Herbert Xu 684f978347 [PATCH] Let WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE return the condition
Letting WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE return the condition means that you could do

if (WARN_ON(blah)) {
	handle_impossible_case
}

Rather than

if (unlikely(blah)) {
	WARN_ON(1)
	handle_impossible_case
}

I checked all the newly added WARN_ON_ONCE users and none of them test the
return status so we can still change it.

Dave McCracken 46a82b2d55 [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros
One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.

Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.

Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

Jeff Garzik a6d967a485 [libata] No need for all those arch libata-portmap.h headers
They all contain the same thing.  Instead, have a single generic one in
include/asm-generic, and permit an arch to override as needed.
