* powerpc: Fix DMA offset for non-coherent DMABenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | After Becky's work we can almost have different DMA offsets between on-chip devices and PCI. Almost because there's a problem with the non-coherent DMA code that basically ignores the programmed offset to use the global one for everything. This fixes it.

* powerpc: New copy_4K_page()Mark Nelson2008-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This new copy_4K_page() function was originally tuned for the best performance on the Cell processor, but after testing on more 64bit powerpc chips it was found that with a small modification it either matched the performance offered by the current mainline version or bettered it by a small amount. It was found that on a Cell-based QS22 blade the amount of system time measured when compiling a 2.6.26 pseries_defconfig decreased by 4%. Using the same test, a 4-way 970MP machine saw a decrease of 2% in system time. No noticeable change was seen on Power4, Power5 or Power6. The 4096 byte page is copied in thirty-two 128 byte strides. An initial setup loop executes dcbt instructions for the whole source page and dcbz instructions for the whole destination page. To do this, the cache line size is retrieved from ppc64_caches. A new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, (introduced in the previous patch) is used to make the modification to this new copy routine - on Power4, 970 and Cell the feature bit is set so the setup loop is executed, but on all other 64bit chips the setup loop is nop'ed out.

* 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.

* powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtimeKumar Gala2008-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync at runtime. On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up the code. We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'. We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is needed. This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it for the normal CPU_FTR purpose. Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.

* powerpc: Prevent memory corruption due to cache invalidation of unaligned ↵Andrew Lewis2008-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DMA buffer On PowerPC processors with non-coherent cache architectures the DMA subsystem calls invalidate_dcache_range() before performing a DMA read operation. If the address and length of the DMA buffer are not aligned to a cache-line boundary this can result in memory outside of the DMA buffer being invalidated in the cache. If this memory has an uncommitted store then the data will be lost and a subsequent read of that address will result in an old value being returned from main memory. Only when the DMA buffer starts on a cache-line boundary and is an exact mutiple of the cache-line size can invalidate_dcache_range() be called, otherwise flush_dcache_range() must be called. flush_dcache_range() will first flush uncommitted writes, and then invalidate the cache.

* powerpc: Add self-tests of the feature fixup codeMichael Ellerman2008-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds tests of the feature fixup code, they are run during boot if CONFIG_FTR_FIXUP_SELFTEST=y. Some of the tests manually invoke the patching routines to check their behaviour, and others use the macros and so are patched during the normal patching done during boot. Because we have two sets of macros with different names, we use a macro to generate the test of the macros, very niiiice.

* powerpc: Introduce infrastructure for feature sections with alternativesMichael Ellerman2008-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg: BEGIN_FTR_SECTION or 1,1,1 END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO) BEGIN_FTR_SECTION or 2,2,2 END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO) and the resulting code will be either, or 1,1,1 nop or, nop or 2,2,2 For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops. This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following: BEGIN_FTR_SECTION or 1,1,1 FTR_SECTION_ELSE or 2,2,2 ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO) and the resulting code will be: or 1,1,1 or, or 2,2,2 We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty we nop out the default case. The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the remainder of the section is nop'ed. We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text, so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link, this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases. This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but does not enable the patching of the alternative sections. We also need to update two hand-made section entries in reg.h and timex.h Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* powerpc: Make create_branch() return errors if the branch target is too largeMichael Ellerman2008-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you pass a target value to create_branch() which is more than 32MB - 4, or - 32MB away from the branch site, then it's impossible to create an immediate branch. The current code doesn't check, which will lead to us creating a branch to somewhere else - which is bad. For code that cares to check we return 0, which is easy to check for, and for code that doesn't at least we'll be creating an illegal instruction, rather than a branch to some random address.

* powerpc: Allow create_branch() to return errorsMichael Ellerman2008-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and patches it into the call site. In some circumstances it would be nice to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before doing the patching. A future commit will change create_branch() to check for errors. For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly. While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *, as this seems to match usage better. That allows (and requires) us to remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change across the patch_branch() call.

* [POWERPC] Fix -Os kernel builds with newer gcc versionsKumar Gala2008-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GCC 4.4.x looks to be adding support for generating out-of-line register saves/restores based on: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg01678.html This breaks the kernel if we enable CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. To fix this we add the use the save/restore code from gcc and simplified it down for our needs (integer only). Additionally, we have to link this code into each module. The other solution was to add EXPORT_SYMBOL() which meant going through the trampoline which seemed nonsensical for these out-of-line routines. Finally, we add some checks to prom_init_check.sh to ignore the out-of-line save/restore functions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rheap allocation functions return a pointer, but the actual value is based on how the heap was initialized, and so it can be anything, e.g. an offset into a buffer. A ulong is a better representation of the value returned by the allocation functions. This patch changes all of the relevant rheap functions to use a unsigned long integers instead of a pointer. In case of an error, the value returned is a negative error code that has been cast to an unsigned long. The caller can use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro to check for this. All code which calls the rheap functions is updated accordingly. Macros IS_MURAM_ERR() and IS_DPERR(), have been deleted in favor of IS_ERR_VALUE(). Also added error checking to rh_attach_region().

* [POWERPC] Remove use of 4level-fixup.h for ppc32David Gibson2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack, to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels rather than 4. This patch removes this, instead using the newer pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels). This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.

* [POWERPC] Fix array indexing error in rheap grow()Timur Tabi2007-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The grow() function in the rheap library allocates a larger array of blocks, copies the contents of the old blocks array to the newly allocated array and fixes the list_head pointers after the copy. At the end, the new blocks must be enqueued to the empty_list of the rh_info_t structure. This patch fixes a bug where the code was indexing past the end of the array when enqueueing blocks. The UCC ethernet driver, which uses the rheap allocator, experiences kernel panics because of this bug.

Non-coherent mapping were refined and renamed according to Cristoph Hellwig. Orphaned functions were cleaned up.

When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and will cause recursive kprobe fault. And branch_taken() is called in emulate_step(). This disallows kprobes on both of them.
