| * powerpc: BookE hardware watchpoint supportLuis Machado2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements support for HW based watchpoint via the DBSR_DAC (Data Address Compare) facility of the BookE processors. It does so by interfacing with the existing DABR breakpoint code and adding the necessary bits and pieces for the new bits to be properly set or cleared Signed-off-by: Luis Machado <luisgpm@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

* | kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed lockingSrinivasa D S2008-07-25
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table. Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this. cacheline non-cacheline Un-patched kernel aligned patch aligned patch =============================================================================== real 9m46.784s 9m54.412s 10m2.450s user 40m5.715s 40m7.142s 40m4.273s sys 2m57.754s 2m58.583s 3m17.430s =========================================================== Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8) on the same system, when kernel is not probed. ========================= real 9m26.389s user 40m8.775s sys 2m7.283s ========================= Signed-off-by: Srinivasa DS <srinivasa@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jim Keniston <jkenisto@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Cc: Anil S Keshavamurthy <anil.s.keshavamurthy@intel.com> Cc: David S.

The first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick disabled. The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric. Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure that we can not run into such a situation ever again. cpu_idle() { preempt_disable(); while(1) { tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we are in the idle loop while (!need_resched()) halt(); tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode preempt_enable_no_resched(); schedule(); preempt_disable(); } } In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... /me grabs a large brown paperbag.

* | | PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architecturesAndrea Righi2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit boundary. For example: u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size); always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB. The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for example): #define PAGE_SHIFT 12 #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1)) ... #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK) The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary. Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses typeof(addr) for the mask. Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in include/linux/mm.h.

* | | kgdb, powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb supportJason Wessel2008-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core interface. It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of debug hooks. The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver. Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver configured. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

| * | | powerpc: Fix build bug with binutils < 2.18 and GCC < 4.2Segher Boessenkool2008-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | binutils < 2.18 has a bug that makes it misbehave when taking an ELF file with all segments at load address 0 as input. This happens when running "strip" on vmlinux, because of the AT() magic in this linker script. People using GCC >= 4.2 won't run into this problem, because the "build-id" support will put some data into the "notes" segment (at a non-zero load address). To work around this, we force some data into both the "dummy" segment and the kernel segment, so the dummy segment will get a non-zero load address. It's not enough to always create the "notes" segment, since if nothing gets assigned to it, its load address will be zero.

Once the default case is selected, non of the oprofile counters and/or fields have been set up or defined. When identify_cpu() is called once more with the logical PVR, some of the cpu specific fields are replaced with the exception of the oprofile related ones. However, in the case where we have actually taken the default case while searching for the real PVR, we need to tell oprofile that we are now running in compatibility mode so it can pick up the correct counters. We do this by setting the oprofile_cpu_type field to be that taken from the cpu_specs[] for the cpu we are now emulating. This change will detect that we are now altering the real PVR and determine if we also need to update the oprofile_cpu_type field.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The OF parsing code for PCI addresses isn't always treating properly the address space indication 0b11 (ie. 0x3) as meaning 64 bits memory space. This means that it fails to parse addresses for PCI BARs that have this encoding set by the firmware, which happens on some SLOF versions and breaks offb palette handling on Powerstation.

Right now most attributes are generated by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things. I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86 machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups. I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

The main impetus for this compat set is the need to support partition migration, especially from processor P(n) to processor P(n+1), where performance software that's running in the new partition may not be knowledgeable about processor P(n+1). If a performance tool determines it does not support the physical processor, but is told (via the PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT bit) that the processor supports the notion of the PMU compat set, then the performance tool can surface just those events to the user of the tool. PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT indicates that the PMU supports at least this basic subset of events which is compatible across POWER processor lines.

| * | | | | | powerpc: rework 4xx PTE access and TLB missBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is some preliminary work to improve TLB management on SW loaded TLB powerpc platforms. This introduce support for non-atomic PTE operations in pgtable-ppc32.h and removes write back to the PTE from the TLB miss handlers. In addition, the DSI interrupt code no longer tries to fixup write permission, this is left to generic code, and _PAGE_HWWRITE is gone.
