* powerpc: Separate PACA fields for server CPUsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch has no effect other than re-ordering PACA fields on current server CPUs. It however is a pre-requisite for future support of BookE 64-bit processors. Various parts of the PACA struct are now moved under some ifdef's, either the new CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S or CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64, whatever seems more appropriate.

* powerpc: Split exception handling out of head_64.SBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | To prepare for future support of Book3E 64-bit PowerPC processors, which use a completely different exception handling, we move that code to a new exceptions-64s.S file. This file is #included from head_64.S due to some of the absolute address requirements which can currently only be fulfilled from within that file.

* powerpc: Introduce CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3SBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduce a new Kconfig option, CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S that represents processors that are compliant with the "classic" (aka "server") variant of the PowerPC architecture. It replaces CONFIG_6xx on 32-bit (though the symbol is still defined for compatibility) and encompass all currently supported 64-bit processors.

* powerpc: Move VMX and VSX asm code to vector.SBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, load_up_altivec and give_up_altivec are duplicated in 32-bit and 64-bit. This creates a common implementation that is moved away from head_32.S, head_64.S and misc_64.S and into vector.S, using the same macros we already use for our common implementation of load_up_fpu. I also moved the VSX code over to vector.S though in that case I didn't make it build on 32-bit (yet). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* powerpc: Set init_bootmem_done on NUMA platforms as wellBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | For some obscure reason, we only set init_bootmem_done after initializing bootmem when NUMA isn't enabled. We even document this next to the declaration of that global in system.h which of course I didn't read before I had to debug why some WIP code wasn't working properly... This patch changes it so that we always set it after bootmem is initialized which should have always been the case... go figure ! Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* powerpc/mm: Fix a AB->BA deadlock scenario with nohash MMU context lockBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MMU context_lock can be taken from switch_mm() while the rq->lock is held. The rq->lock can also be taken from interrupts, thus if we get interrupted in destroy_context() with the context lock held and that interrupt tries to take the rq->lock, there's a possible deadlock scenario with another CPU having the rq->lock and calling switch_mm() which takes our context lock. The fix is to always ensure interrupts are off when taking our context lock. The switch_mm() path is already good so this fixes the destroy_context() path. While at it, turn the context lock into a new style spinlock. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* powerpc/mm: Fix some SMP issues with MMU context handlingBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a couple of issues that can happen as a result of steal_context() dropping the context_lock when all possible PIDs are ineligible for stealing (hopefully an extremely hard to hit occurence). This case exposes the possibility of a stale context_mm[] entry to be seen since destroy_context() doesn't clear it and the free map isn't re-tested. It also means steal_context() will not notice a context freed while the lock was help, thus possibly trying to steal a context when a free one was available. This fixes it by always returning to the caller from steal_context when it dropped the lock with a return value that causes the caller to re-samble the number of free contexts, along with properly clearing the context_mm[] array for destroyed contexts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was __devinit, but it is also within a CONFIG_HOTPLUG guarded section of code, so the __devinit does nothing but cause the following warning: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x107a8): Section mismatch in reference from the function pcibios_finish_adding_to_bus() to the function .devinit.text:pcibios_claim_one_bus() The function pcibios_finish_adding_to_bus() references the function __devinit pcibios_claim_one_bus().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there), or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual address space. This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but grew its own fixes. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 33f00dcedb0e22cdb156a23632814fc580fcfcf8. While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\ that :-( Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to our custom virtual space allocator. There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time. However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs. R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered error. When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section, binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail. The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right thing to do. The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value: "CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid] rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."

Remap percpu allocator aliases PMD pages for the first chunk and as pageattr doesn't know about the alias it ends up updating page attributes of the original mapping thus leaving the alises in inconsistent state which might lead to subtle data corruption. Please read the following threads for more information: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/835783 The following is the proposed fix which teaches pageattr about percpu aliases. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/837157 However, the above changes are deemed too pervasive for upstream inclusion for 2.6.30 release, so this patch essentially disables the remap allocator for the time being.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpa_flush_array seems to prefer wbinvd() over clflush at 4M threshold. clflush needs to be done on only one CPU as per instruction definition. wbinvd() however, should be done on all CPUs.

| | * x86: bugfix wbinvd() model check instead of family checkvenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com2009-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wbinvd is supported on all CPUs 486 or later. But, pageattr.c is checking x86_model >= 4 before wbinvd(), which looks like an oversight bug. It was first introduced at one place by changeset d7c8f21a8cad0228c7c5ce2bb6dbd95d1ee49d13 and got copied over to second place in the same file later.

| | * x86, setup: revert ACPI 3 E820 extended attributes supportH. Peter Anvin2009-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support. At least one vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at 24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes. The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually needing the flags. This reverts all or part of the following checkins: cd670599b7b00d9263f6f11a05c0edeb9cbedaf3 c549e71d073a6e9a4847497344db28a784061455 However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround. Put in a comment to explain that part. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499396 for some additional information.
