* powerpc: Use correct sequence for putting CPU into nap modePaul Mackerras2006-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into nap mode. When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus started hanging when we put them into nap mode. Changing to the recommended sequence fixes that. The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode. Clearly we need some way to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt, decrementer, performance monitor) occurs. Here we use a bit in the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop. We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence. The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing there too. This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on 32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to get trashed. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] powerpc: Allow non zero boot cpuidsAnton Blanchard2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have a hack to flip the boot cpu and its secondary thread to logical cpuid 0 and 1. This means the logical - physical mapping will differ depending on which cpu is boot cpu. This is most apparent on kexec, where we might kexec on any cpu and therefore change the mapping from boot to boot. The patch below does a first pass early on to work out the logical cpuid of the boot thread. We then fix up some paca structures to match. Ive also removed the boot_cpuid_phys variable for ppc64, to be consistent we use get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid) everywhere.

* [PATCH] correct the comment about stackpointer alignment in __boot_from_promOlaf Hering2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The address of variable val in prom_init_stdout is passed to prom_getprop. prom_getprop casts the pointer to u32 and passes it to call_prom in the hope that OpenFirmware stores something there. But the pointer is truncated in the lower bits and the expected value is stored somewhere else. In my testing I had a stackpointer of 0x0023e6b4. val was at offset 120, wich has address 0x0023e72c. But the value passed to OF was 0x0023e728. c00000000040b710: 3b 01 00 78 addi r24,r1,120 ... c00000000040b754: 57 08 00 38 rlwinm r8,r24,0,0,28 ... c00000000040b784: 80 01 00 78 lwz r0,120(r1) ... c00000000040b798: 90 1b 00 0c stw r0,12(r27) ... The stackpointer came from 32bit code. The chain was yaboot -> zImage -> vmlinux PowerMac OpenFirmware does appearently not handle the ELF sections correctly. If yaboot was compiled in /usr/src/packages/BUILD/lilo-10.1.1/yaboot, then the stackpointer is unaligned. But the stackpointer is correct if yaboot is compiled in /tmp/yaboot. This bug triggered since 2.6.15, now prom_getprop is an inline function. gcc clears the lower bits, instead of just clearing the upper 32 bits.

* | powerpc: Implement accurate task and CPU time accountingPaul Mackerras2006-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit powerpc kernels. Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode. We also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts accurately. This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. If that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before. To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase on other machines on * each entry to the kernel from usermode * each exit to usermode * transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq context in kernel mode * context switches. On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time). Unfortunately, since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment. This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers, i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc. This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(), times(), etc. Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a second) when reported to userspace. Some precision is therefore lost but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal accumulation is at full precision. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

| * [PATCH] powerpc: Fix runlatch performance issuesAnton Blanchard2006-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The runlatch SPR can take a lot of time to write. My original runlatch code would set it on every exception entry even though most of the time this was not required. It would also continually set it in the idle loop, which is an issue on an SMT capable processor. Now we cache the runlatch value in a threadinfo bit, and only check for it in decrementer and hardware interrupt exceptions as well as the idle loop.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACADavid Gibson2006-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures. This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca. The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca address to a local variable for no particular reason.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Cleanup LOADADDR etc. asm macrosDavid Gibson2006-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch consolidates the variety of macros used for loading 32 or 64-bit constants in assembler (LOADADDR, LOADBASE, SET_REG_TO_*). The idea is to make the set of macros consistent across 32 and 64 bit and to make it more obvious which is the appropriate one to use in a given situation. The new macros and their semantics are described in the comments in ppc_asm.h. In the process, we change several places that were unnecessarily using immediate loads on ppc64 to use the GOT/TOC. Likewise we cleanup a couple of places where we were clumsily subtracting PAGE_OFFSET with asm instructions to use assemble-time arithmetic or the toreal() macro instead.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a few places where we need to fix things up for the kernel to work if it's linked at 32MB: - platforms/powermac/smp.c To start secondary cpus on pmac we patch the reset vector, which is fine. Except if we're above 32MB we don't have enough bits for an absolute branch, it needs to relative. - kernel/head_64.s - A few branches in the cpu hold code need to load the full target address and do a bctr. - after_prom_start needs to load PHYSICAL_START as the dest address, not 0. - The exception prolog needs to load the low word of the target adddress, not just the low halfword. - Fixup handling of the initial stab address. - kernel/setup_64.c smp_release_cpus() needs to write 1 to the spinloop flag near 0, not 32 MB.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Merge thread_info.hDavid Gibson2005-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Merge ppc32 and ppc64 versions of thread_info.h. They were pretty similar already, the chief changes are: - Instead of inline asm to implement current_thread_info(), which needs to be different for ppc32 and ppc64, we use C with an asm("r1") register variable. gcc turns it into the same asm as we used to have for both platforms. - We replace ppc32's 'local_flags' with the ppc64 'syscall_noerror' field. The noerror flag was in fact the only thing in the local_flags field anyway, so the ppc64 approach is simpler, and means we only need a load-immediate/store instead of load/mask/store when clearing the flag. - In readiness for 64k pages, when THREAD_SIZE will be less than a page, ppc64 used kmalloc() rather than get_free_pages() to allocate the kernel stack. With this patch we do the same for ppc32, since there's no strong reason not to. - For ppc64, we no longer export THREAD_SHIFT and THREAD_SIZE via asm-offsets, thread_info.h can now be safely included in asm, as on ppc32.
