* [PATCH] ISA DMA Kconfig fixes - part 1Al Viro2005-05-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A bunch of drivers use ISA DMA helpers or their equivalents for platforms that have ISA with different DMA controller (a lot of ARM boxen). Currently there is no way to put such dependency in Kconfig - CONFIG_ISA is not it (e.g. it is not set on platforms that have no ISA slots, but have on-board devices that pretend to be ISA ones). New symbol added - ISA_DMA_API. Set when we have functional enable_dma()/set_dma_mode()/etc. set of helpers. Next patches in the series will add missing dependencies for drivers that need them. I'm very carefully staying the hell out of the recurring flamefest on what exactly CONFIG_ISA would mean in ideal world - added symbol has a well-defined meaning and for now I really want to treat it as completely independent from the mess around CONFIG_ISA.

* [PATCH] ppc64: fix gcc 4.0 vs CONFIG_ALTIVECBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | gcc-4.0 generates altivec code implicitly when -mcpu indicates an altivec capable CPU which is not suitable for the kernel. However, we used to set -mcpu=970 when CONFIG_ALTIVEC was set because a gcc-3.x bug prevented from using -maltivec along with -mcpu=power4, thus prevented building the RAID6 altivec code. This patch fixes all of this by testing for the gcc version. If 4.0 or later, just normally use -mcpu=power4 and let the RAID6 code add -maltivec to the few files it needs to be compiled with altivec support. For 3.x, we still use -mcpu=970 to work around the above problem, which is fine as 3.x will never implicitly generate altivec code. The Makefile hackery may not be the most lovely, I welcome anybody more skilled than me to improve it.

* [PATCH] PPC64: Remove hot busy-wait loop in __hash_pageOlof Johansson2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that our current __hash_page code will do a very hot busy-wait loop waiting on _PAGE_BUSY to be cleared. It even does ldarx/stdcx in the loop, which will bounce reservations around like crazy if there's more than one CPU spinning on the same PTE (or even another PTE in the same reservation granule). The end result is that each fault takes longer when there's contention, which in turn increases the chance of another thread hitting the same fault and also piling up. Not pretty. There's two options here: 1. Do an out-of-line busy loop a'la spinlocks with just loads (no reserves) 2. Just bail and refault if needed. (2) makes sense here: If the PTE is busy, chances are it's in flux anyway and the other code path making a change might just be ready to hash it. This fixes a stampede seen on a large-ish system where a multithreaded HPC app faults in the same text pages on several cpus at the same time.

* [PATCH] ppc64: tell firmware about kernel capabilitiesPaul Mackerras2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On pSeries systems, according to the platform architecture specs, we are supposed to be supplying a structure to firmware that tells firmware about our capabilities, such as which version of the data structures that describe available memory we are expecting to see. The way we end up having to supply this data structure is a bit gross, since it was designed for AIX and doesn't suit us very well. This patch adds the code to supply this data structure to the firmware.

* [PATCH] ppc64: Fix irq parsing on powermacPaul Mackerras2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I tried Ben's patches to the powermac sound driver on my G5, I found that it was taking enormous numbers of sound DMA transmit interrupts. This turned out to be because it was incorrectly configured as level-sensitive instead of edge-sensitive, which in turn was because the code that parses the interrupt tree that Open Firmware gives us was incorrectly assigning another device the same irq number as the sound DMA transmit interrupt (i.e. 1). This patch fixes the problem, in a somewhat quick and dirty way for now, but one which will work for all the machines we currently run on. Ultimately Ben and I want to do something more general and robust, but this should go in for 2.6.12.

* [PATCH] ppc64: add PT_NOTE section to vDSOBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch from Roland adds a PT_NOTE section to both 32 and 64 bits vDSOs to expose the kernel version to glibc, thus avoiding a uname syscall on every launch. This is equivalent to the patches Roland posted already for x86 and x86-64. Note: the 64 bits .note is actually using the 32 bits format. This is normal. The ELF spec specifies a different format for 64 bits .note, but for some reason, this was never properly implemented, the core dumps for example are all using 32 bits format .note, and binutils cannot even read a 64 bits format .note. Talking to our toolchain folks, they think we'd rather stick to 32 bits format .note everywhere and get the spec fixed some day ...

* [PATCH] ppc64: fix 32-bit signal frame back linkPaul Mackerras2005-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the kernel creates a signal frame on the user stack, it puts the old stack pointer value at the beginning so that the signal frame is linked into the chain of stack frames like any other frame. Unfortunately, for 32-bit processes we are writing the old stack pointer as a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit value, and the process sees that as a null pointer, since it only looks at the first 32 bits, which are zero since ppc is bigendian and the stack pointer is below 4GB. This bug is in SLES9 and RHEL4 too, hence the ccs. This patch fixes the bug by making the signal code write the old stack pointer as a u32 instead of an unsigned long.

* [PATCH] freepgt: hugetlb_free_pgd_rangeHugh Dickins2005-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer being called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them. The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted elsewhere and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the motions of freeing nothing. Since ia64 does need a special case, restore to ppc64 the special case of skipping them. The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though it probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from another region into the hugetlb region. In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than in the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the page at the bottom is larger. Here we need to scale down each addr before passing it to the standard free_pgd_range. Was about to write a hugely_scaled_down macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose. Fixed off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range. Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64. Make sure the vma-gathering loop in free_pgtables cannot join a hugepage_only_range to any other (safe to join huges? probably but don't bother).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During some code inspection using gcc 4.0 I noticed a stack frame was being created for a number of functions that didnt require it. For example: c0000000000df944 <._spin_unlock>: c0000000000df944: fb e1 ff f0 std r31,-16(r1) c0000000000df948: f8 21 ff c1 stdu r1,-64(r1) c0000000000df94c: 7c 3f 0b 78 mr r31,r1 c0000000000df950: 7c 20 04 ac lwsync c0000000000df954: e8 21 00 00 ld r1,0(r1) c0000000000df958: 38 00 00 00 li r0,0 c0000000000df95c: 90 03 00 00 stw r0,0(r3) c0000000000df960: eb e1 ff f0 ld r31,-16(r1) c0000000000df964: 4e 80 00 20 blr It turns out we are adding -fno-omit-frame-pointer to ppc64 which is causing the above behaviour.

* [PATCH] ppc64: Detect altivec via firmware on unknown CPUsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds detection of the Altivec capability of the CPU via the firmware in addition to the cpu table. This allows newer CPUs that aren't in the table to still have working altivec support in the kernel. It also fixes a problem where if a CPU isn't recognized as having altivec features, and takes an altivec unavailable exception due to userland issuing altivec instructions, the kernel would happily enable it and context switch the registers ... but not all of them (it would basically forget vrsave). With this patch, the kernel will refuse to enable altivec when the feature isn't detected for the CPU (SIGILL).

* [PATCH] ppc64: Improve mapping of vDSOBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the proper address). While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should be possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch hacks the current PowerMac Alsa driver to add some basic support of analog sound output to some desktop G5s. It has severe limitations though: - Only 44100Khz 16 bits - Only work on G5 models using a TAS3004 analog code, that is early single CPU desktops and all dual CPU desktops at this date, but none of the more recent ones like iMac G5. - It does analog only, no digital/SPDIF support at all, no native AC3 support Better support would require a complete rewrite of the driver (which I am working on, but don't hold your breath), to properly support the diversity of apple sound HW setup, including dual codecs, several i2s busses, all the new codecs used in the new machines, proper clock switching with digital, etc etc etc... This patch applies on top of the other PowerMac sound patches I posted in the past couple of days (new powerbook support and sleep fixes). Note: This is a FAQ entry for PowerMac sound support with TI codecs: They have a feature called "DRC" which is automatically enabled for the internal speaker (at least when auto mute control is enabled) which will cause your sound to fade out to nothing after half a second of playback if you don't set a proper "DRC Range" in the mixer. So if you have a problem like that, check alsamixer and raise your DRC Range to something reasonable. Note2: This patch will also add auto-mute of the speaker when line-out jack is used on some earlier desktop G4s (and on the G5) in addition to the headphone jack. If that behaviour isn't what you want, just disable auto-muting and use the manual mute controls in alsamixer.

* [PATCH] ppc32: Fix AGP and sleep againBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My previous patch that added sleep support for uninorth-agp and some AGP "off" stuff in radeonfb and aty128fb is breaking some configs. More specifically, it has problems with rage128 setups since the DRI code for these in X doesn't properly re-enable AGP on wakeup or console switch (unlike the radeon DRM). This patch fixes the problem for pmac once for all by using a different approach. The AGP driver "registers" special suspend/resume callbacks with some arch code that the fbdev's can later on call to suspend and resume AGP, making sure it's resumed back in the same state it was when suspended. This is platform specific for now. It would be too complicated to try to do a generic implementation of this at this point due to all sort of weird things going on with AGP on other architectures. We'll re-work that whole problem cleanly once we finally merge fbdev's and DRI. In the meantime, please apply this patch which brings back some r128 based laptops into working condition as far as system sleep is concerned.
