* [PATCH] powerpc: Update OF address parsersBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | This updates the OF address parsers to return the IO flags indicating the type of address obtained. It also adds a PCI call for converting physical addresses that hit IO space into into IO tokens, and add routines that return the translated addresses into struct resource Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] powerpc: udbg updatesBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | The udbg low level io layer has an issue with udbg_getc() returning a char (unsigned on ppc) instead of an int, thus the -1 if you had no available input device could end up turned into 0xff, filling your display with bogus characters.

* [PATCH] powerpc: migrate common PCI hotplug codeLinas Vepstas2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 23-rpaphp-migrate.patch (parts) This patch moves some pci device add & remove code from the PCI hotplug directory to the arch/powerpc/kernel directory, and cleans it up a tad. The primary reason for this is that the code performs some fairly generic operations that are shared with the PCI error recovery code (living in the arch/powerpc/kernel directory).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes several unnecessary fields from the paca: - next_jiffy_update_tb was simply unused. Remove trivially. - The exdsi exception save area was not used. There were plans to use it, but they never seem to have gone anywhere. If they ever do, we can put it back. Remove from the paca, and from asm-offsets.c - The default_decr field was used from asm, but was only ever assigned the value of tb_ticks_per_jiffy.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On iSeries, the paca contains, amongst other things an ItLpRegSave structure used by the hypervisor to save registers. The hypervisor locates this area through a pointer at the beginning of the paca, so the structure itself can be located elsewhere. This patch moves the reg_save area out into its own array.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Make hugepage mappings respect hint addressesDavid Gibson2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the powerpc version of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() entirely ignores the hint address. The only way to get a hugepage mapping at a specified address is with MAP_FIXED, in which case there's no way (short of parsing /proc/self/maps) for userspace to tell if it will clobber an existing mapping. This is inconvenient, so the patch below makes hugepage mappings use the given hint address if possible.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Unify udbg (#2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the merged achitecture. xmon now has a single "back end". The powermac udbg stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well, approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations. The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify them in a later patch. For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using "btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a later patch.

* [PATCH] powerpc: serial port discovery (#2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt2006-01-08

Only ppc64 gets udbg still yet, unifying udbg isn't finished yet. It also adds some speed-probing code to udbg so that the default console can come up at the same speed it was set to by the firmware.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Add OF address parsing code (#2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Parsing addresses extracted from Open Firmware isn't a simple matter. We have various bits of code that try to do it in various place, including some heuristics in prom.c that pre-parse addresses at boot and fill device-nodes "addrs", but those are dodgy at best and I want to deprecate them. So this patch introduces a new set of routines that should be capable of parsing most types of addresses and translating them into CPU physical addresses. It currently works for things on PCI busses and ISA busses and should work on "standard" busses like the root bus or the MacIO bus that don't put funky flags in addresses. If you have other bus types that do use funky flags, you'll have to add new bus type translators, which is fairly easy.

* [PATCH] spufs: cooperative scheduler supportArnd Bergmann2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the system. Currently, there is no support for preempting a running SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the owning thread or by sending a signal to it. This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore to read-only.

* [PATCH] syscall entry/exit revampDavid Woodhouse2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This cleanup patch speeds up the null syscall path on ppc64 by about 3%, and brings the ppc32 and ppc64 code slightly closer together. The ppc64 code was checking current_thread_info()->flags twice in the syscall exit path; once for TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A before disabling interrupts, and then again for TIF_SIGPENDING|TIF_NEED_RESCHED etc after disabling interrupts. Now we do the same as ppc32 -- check the flags only once in the fast path, and re-enable interrupts if necessary in the ptrace case. The patch abolishes the 'syscall_noerror' member of struct thread_info and replaces it with a TIF_NOERROR bit in the flags, which is handled in the slow path. This shortens the syscall entry code, which no longer needs to clear syscall_noerror. The patch adds a TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag which causes the syscall exit slow path to save the non-volatile GPRs into a signal frame. This removes the need for the assembly wrappers around sys_sigsuspend(), sys_rt_sigsuspend(), et al which existed solely to save those registers in advance. It also means I don't have to add new wrappers for ppoll() and pselect(), which is what I was supposed to be doing when I got distracted into this... Finally, it unifies the ppc64 and ppc32 methods of handling syscall exit directly into a signal handler (as required by sigsuspend et al) by introducing a TIF_RESTOREALL flag which causes _all_ the registers to be reloaded from the pt_regs by taking the ret_from_exception path, instead of the normal syscall exit path which stomps on the callee-saved GPRs. It appears to pass an LTP test run on ppc64, and passes basic testing on ppc32 too. Brief tests of ptrace functionality with strace and gdb also appear OK.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Merge kexecMichael Ellerman2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch merges, to some extent, the PPC32 and PPC64 kexec implementations. We adopt the PPC32 approach of having ppc_md callbacks for the kexec functions. The current PPC64 implementation becomes the "default" implementation for PPC64 which platforms can select if they need no special treatment. I've added these default callbacks to pseries/maple/cell/powermac, this means iSeries no longer supports kexec - but it never worked anyway. I've renamed PPC32's machine_kexec_simple to default_machine_kexec, inline with PPC64. Judging by the comments it might be better named machine_kexec_non_of, or something, but at the moment it's the only implementation for PPC32 so it's the "default". Kexec requires machine_shutdown(), which is in machine_kexec.c on PPC32, but we already have in setup-common.c on powerpc. All this does is call ppc_md.nvram_sync, which only powermac implements, so instead make machine_shutdown a ppc_md member and have it call core99_nvram_sync directly on powermac. I've also stuck relocate_kernel.S into misc_32.S for powerpc. Built for ARCH=ppc, and 32 & 64 bit ARCH=powerpc, with KEXEC=y/n. Booted on P5 LPAR and successfully kexec'ed.

* powerpc: Fix i8259 cascade on pSeries with XICS interrupt controllerPaul Mackerras2005-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that commit f9bd170a87948a9e077149b70fb192c563770fdf broke the cascade from XICS to i8259 on pSeries machines; specifically we ended up not ever doing the EOI on the XICS for the cascade. The result was that interrupts from the serial ports (and presumably any other devices using ISA interrupts) didn't get through. This fixes it and also simplifies the code, by doing the EOI on the XICS in the xics_get_irq routine after reading and acking the interrupt on the i8259.

There was a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss handler) only on one CPU, not on all. This could cause incorrect SLB entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running simultaneously on several CPUs. This patch corrects the error, copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm in question before flushing any existing SLB entries.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepagesDavid Gibson2005-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed. Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation. We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page in question. Tested on G5.
