* powerpc: iSeries has only 256 IRQsStephen Rothwell2006-04-04
| | | | | | | | | The iSeries Hypervisor only allows us to specify IRQ numbers up to 255 (it has a u8 field to pass it in). This patch allows platforms to specify a maximum to the virtual IRQ numbers we will use and has iSeries set that to 255. If not set, the maximum is NR_IRQS - 1 (as before).

* powerpc: Implement accurate task and CPU time accountingPaul Mackerras2006-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit powerpc kernels. Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode. We also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts accurately. This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. If that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before. To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase on other machines on * each entry to the kernel from usermode * each exit to usermode * transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq context in kernel mode * context switches. On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time). Unfortunately, since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment. This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers, i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc. This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(), times(), etc. Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a second) when reported to userspace. Some precision is therefore lost but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal accumulation is at full precision. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] ppc32: fix PQ2 PCI DMA interrupt handlingKumar Gala2005-11-11
| | | | | | | | | The bit position in the status register corresponding to the PCI DMA interrupt was incorrect. Additionally, we did not have a define for the PCI DMA interrupt. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* ppc64: remove ppc_irq_dispatch_handlerStephen Rothwell2005-11-09
| | | | | | | Use __do_IRQ instead. The only difference is that every controller is now assumed to have an end() routine (only xics_8259 did not). Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
* ppc64: move stack switching up in interrupt processingStephen Rothwell2005-11-08
| | | | | | | This will make the ppc64 multiplatform irq handling more like the generic handling. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
* [PATCH] powerpc: Rename BPA to CellArnd Bergmann2005-11-01
| | | | | | | | | The official name for BPA is now CBEA (Cell Broadband Engine Architecture). This patch renames all occurences of the term BPA to 'Cell' for easier recognition. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* powerpc: Fix interrupt-tree parsingPaul Mackerras2005-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | The interrupt-tree parsing code wasn't offsetting interrupt numbers by 16 on 32-bit platforms with an i8259 interrupt controller, and it was confused about the encoding of interrupt sense and level (which is different for i8259 and openpic interrupt controllers, just to make things interesting).

* powerpc: Merge time.c and asm/time.h.Paul Mackerras2005-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | We now use the merged time.c for both 32-bit and 64-bit compilation with ARCH=powerpc, and for ARCH=ppc64, but not for ARCH=ppc32. This removes setup_default_decr (folds its function into time_init) and moves wakeup_decrementer into time.c. This also makes an asm-powerpc/rtc.h. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
