| * [S390] zcore: Add prefix registers to dump headerMichael Holzheu2010-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch the prefix registers of all online CPUs are stored in the the zcore dump header. This allows dump analysis tools to access the register information that is stored in the prefix pages without using the System.map.

| * [S390] correct vdso version stringMartin Schwidefsky2010-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The glibc vdso code for s390 uses the version string 2.6.29, the kernel uses the version string 2.6.26. No wonder the vdso code is never used. The first kernel version to contain the vdso code is 2.6.29 which makes this the correct version. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
| * [S390] add support for compressed kernelsMartin Schwidefsky2010-02-26

| * [S390] Define new s390 ELF note sections in elf.hMichael Holzheu2010-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | S390 ELF core dump currently only contains the PSW, the general purpose registers, the floating point registers and the access registers stored in PRSTATUS/PRFPREG note sections. For analyzing s390 kernel problems additional registers are important. In order to be able to include these registers to a kernel ELF core dump, this patch adds the following five new note sections to elf.h: * NT_S390_TIMER: S390 timer register * NT_S390_TODCMP: S390 TOD comparator register * NT_S390_TODPREG: S390 TOD programmable register * NT_S390_CTRS: S390 control registers * NT_S390_PREFIX: S390 prefix register The new note sections have been already defined and accepted in the upstream binutils package.

| * [S390] dasd: correct offline processingStefan Haberland2010-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Flushing the dasd ccw request queue may stop the processing of the block device request queue. Destroy partitions may wait for outstanding requests and thus hang.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function dasd_device_from_cdev returns a reference to the dasd device and increases the refcount by one. If an exception occurs, the refcount was not decreased in all cases e.g. in dasd_discipline_show.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Setting a DASD online and offline in quick succession may cause a kernel panic or let the chhccwdev command wait forever. The Online process is split into two parts. After the first part is finished the offline process may be called. This may result in a situation where the second online processing part tries to set the DASD offline as well. Use a mutex to protect online and offline against each other. Also correct some checking.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use asm offsets to make sure the offset defines to struct _lowcore and its layout don't get out of sync. Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON() which checks that the size of the structure is sane. And while being at it change those sites which use odd casts to access the current lowcore.

| * [S390] spinlock: check virtual cpu running statusGerald Schaefer2010-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new function that checks the running status of a cpu in a hypervisor. This status is not virtualized, so the check is only correct if running in an LPAR. On acquiring a spinlock, if the cpu holding the lock is scheduled by the hypervisor, we do a busy wait on the lock. If it is not scheduled, we yield over to that cpu. Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove a memset hack that relied on the internal layout of the qdio_irq struct and move the per device statistics data into an own cache line to avoid cache line bashing between the inbound and the outbound queue tasklets. Also reduce the number of allocated queues from 32 to 4 which is the current maximum. That saves a cache line in struct qdio_irq.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drop support to compile the kernel with gcc versions older than 3.3.3. This allows us to use the "Q" inline assembly contraint on some more inline assemblies without duplicating a lot of complex code (e.g. __xchg and __cmpxchg). The distinction for older gcc versions can be removed which saves a few lines and simplifies the code.

Since the default key is zero this doesn't really matter.

| * [S390] cio: wait for channel reportSebastian Ott2010-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To fetch a pending channel report word (crw) we use a kernel thread which triggers stcrw and sleeps on a semaphore. The s390 machine check handler uses crw_handle_channel_report to handle one crw if needed. This patch replaces the semaphore with a waitqueue (to block the kernel thread) and an atomic_t (to count the number of pending requests). By this we achieve the ability to force this thread to check for a pending crw (independent on when it is triggered by the machine check handler) and wait for this action to finish.

This quirk fixes legacy device port resources to contain the bus addresses actually generated by the GT-64111. I think this is the approach Ben Herrenschmidt suggested long ago: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119733290624544&w=2 This allows us to remove the IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED hack from pcibios_fixup_device_resources(), which converts bus addresses to CPU addresses. IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED denotes resources that can't be moved; it has nothing to do with converting bus to CPU addresses.

Currently, addresses at the far end of the 32bit area are assumed to belong to the PCMCIA area and fixed up to the real 36bit address before being passed to ioremap(). A previous commit enabled 64 bit physical size for the resource datatype on Alchemy and this allows to use the correct 36bit addresses when registering the PCMCIA sockets. This patch removes the 32-to-36bit address fixup and registers the Alchemy demo board pcmcia socket with the correct 36bit physical addresses. Tested on DB1200, with a CF card (ide-cs driver) and a 3c589 PCMCIA ethernet card.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because the VIA SuperIO chip only decodes 24 bits of address space but port address space currently being configured as 32MB there is the theoretical possibility of aliases within the I/O port address range. The complicated solution is to reserve all address range that potencially could cause such aliases. But with the PCI spec limiting port allocations for devices to a maximum of 256 bytes 16MB of port address space already is way more than one would ever expect to be used so we just reduce the port space to 16MB.

| * | MIPS: Use ALIGN(x, bytes) instead of __ALIGN_MASK(x, bytes - 1)Matt Turner2010-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ALIGN(x, bytes) expands to __ALIGN_MASK(x, bytes - 1), so use the one that is most clear.

| * | MIPS: Crazy spinlock speed test.David Daney2010-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is just a test program for raw_spinlocks. The main reason I wrote it is to validate my spinlock changes that I sent in a previous patch. To use it enable CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and CONFIG_SPINLOCK_TEST then at run time do: # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_single # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_multi On my 600MHz octeon cn5860 (16 CPUs) I get spin_single spin_multi base 106885 247941 spinlock_patch 75194 219465 This shows that for uncontended locks the spinlock patch gives 41% improvement and for contended locks 12% improvement (1/time).

| * | MIPS: Optimize spinlocks.David Daney2010-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current locking mechanism uses a ll/sc sequence to release a spinlock. This is slower than a wmb() followed by a store to unlock. The branching forward to .subsection 2 on sc failure slows down the contended case. So we get rid of that part too. Since we are now working on naturally aligned u16 values, we can get rid of a masking operation as the LHU already does the right thing. The ANDI are reversed for better scheduling on multi-issue CPUs On a 12 CPU 750MHz Octeon cn5750 this patch improves ipv4 UDP packet forwarding rates from 3.58*10^6 PPS to 3.99*10^6 PPS, or about 11%.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change to different macros for assembler macros since the old names in powertv_setup.c were co-opted for use in asm/asm.h. This broken the build for the powertv platform. This patch introduces new macros based on the new macros in asm.h to take the place of the old macro values.
