* [PATCH] ppc64: Add VMX save flag to VPAOlof Johansson2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to indicate to the hypervisor that it needs to save our VMX registers when switching partitions on a shared-processor system, just as it needs to for FP and PMC registers. This could be made to be on-demand when VMX is used, but we don't do that for FP nor PMC right now either so let's not overcomplicate things.

* [PATCH] SPARSEMEM EXTREMEBob Picco2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new option for SPARSEMEM is ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME. Architecture platforms with a very sparse physical address space would likely want to select this option. For those architecture platforms that don't select the option, the code generated is equivalent to SPARSEMEM currently in -mm. I'll be posting a patch on ia64 ml which uses this new SPARSEMEM feature. ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of pointers to mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve smaller memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an additional shift and load when fetching the memory section. The current SPARSEMEM -mm implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections which is the default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates the implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section array. ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME depends on 64BIT and is by default boolean false. I've boot tested under aim load ia64 configured for ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME. I've also boot tested a 4 way Opteron machine with !ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME and tested with aim.

* | [PATCH] Dynamic hugepage addresses for ppc64David Gibson2005-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Paulus, I think this is now a reasonable candidate for the post-2.6.13 queue. Relax address restrictions for hugepages on ppc64 Presently, 64-bit applications on ppc64 may only use hugepages in the address region from 1-1.5T. Furthermore, if hugepages are enabled in the kernel config, they may only use hugepages and never normal pages in this area. This patch relaxes this restriction, allowing any address to be used with hugepages, but with a 1TB granularity. That is if you map a hugepage anywhere in the region 1TB-2TB, that entire area will be reserved exclusively for hugepages for the remainder of the process's lifetime. This works analagously to hugepages in 32-bit applications, where hugepages can be mapped anywhere, but with 256MB (mmu segment) granularity. This patch applies on top of the four level pagetable patch (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc64/patch?id=1936).

* | [PATCH] ppc64: Remove redundant abs_to_phys() macroMichael Ellerman2005-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | abs_to_phys() is a macro that turns out to do nothing, and also has the unfortunate property that it's not the inverse of phys_to_abs() on iSeries. The following is for my benefit as much as everyone else. With CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled, the lmb code is changed such that it keeps a physbase variable for each lmb region. This is used to take the possibly discontiguous lmb regions and present them as a contiguous address space beginning from zero. In this context each lmb region's base address is its "absolute" base address, and its physbase is it's "physical" address (from Linux's point of view). The abs_to_phys() macro does the mapping from "absolute" to "physical". Note: This is not related to the iSeries mapping of physical to absolute (ie. Hypervisor) addresses which is maintained with the msChunks structure. And the msChunks structure is not controlled via CONFIG_MSCHUNKS. Once upon a time you could compile for non-iSeries with CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled. But these days CONFIG_MSCHUNKS depends on CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES, so for non-iSeries code abs_to_phys() is a no-op. On iSeries we always have one lmb region which spans from 0 to systemcfg->physicalMemorySize (arch/ppc64/kernel/iSeries_setup.c line 383). This region has a base (ie. absolute) address of 0, and a physbase address of 0 (as calculated in lmb_analyze() (arch/ppc64/kernel/lmb.c line 144)). On iSeries, abs_to_phys(aa) is defined as lmb_abs_to_phys(aa), which finds the lmb region containing aa (and there's only one, ie. 0), and then does: return lmb.memory.region[0].physbase + (aa - lmb.memory.region[0].base) physbase == base == 0, so you're left with "return aa". So remove abs_to_phys(), and lmb_abs_to_phys() which is the implementation of abs_to_phys() for iSeries.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Comments in head.S suggest that the iSeries naca has a fixed address, because tools expect to find it there. The only tool which appears to access the naca is addRamDisk, but both the in-kernel version and the version used in RHEL and SuSE in fact locate the NACA the same way as the hypervisor does, by following the pointer in the hvReleaseData structure. Since the requirement for a fixed address seems to be obsolete, this patch removes the naca from head.S and replaces it with a normal C initializer. For good measure, it removes an old version of addRamDisk.c which was sitting, unused, in the ppc32 tree.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently the LparMap, one of the structures the kernel shares with the legacy iSeries hypervisor has a fixed offset address in head.S. This patch changes this so the LparMap is a normally initialized structure, without fixed address. This allows us to use macros to compute some of the values in the structure, which wasn't previously possible because the assembler always uses signed-% which gets the wrong answers for the computations in question. Unfortunately, a gcc bug means that doing this requires another structure (hvReleaseData) to be initialized in asm instead of C, but on the whole the result is cleaner than before.

* [PATCH] ppc64: dynamically allocate segment tablesDavid Gibson2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PPC64 machines before Power4 need a segment table page allocated for each CPU. Currently these are allocated statically in a big array in head.S for all CPUs. The segment tables need to be in the first segment (so do_stab_bolted doesn't take a recursive fault on the stab itself), but other than that there are no constraints which require the stabs for the secondary CPUs to be statically allocated. This patch allocates segment tables dynamically during boot, using lmb_alloc() to ensure they are within the first 256M segment. This reduces the kernel image size by 192k... Tested on RS64 iSeries, POWER3 pSeries, and POWER5.

* [PATCH] Add emergency_restart()Eric W. Biederman2005-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the kernel is working well and we want to restart cleanly kernel_restart is the function to use. But in many instances the kernel wants to reboot when thing are expected to be working very badly such as from panic or a software watchdog handler. This patch adds the function emergency_restart() so that callers can be clear what semantics they expect when calling restart. emergency_restart() is expected to be callable from interrupt context and possibly reliable in even more trying circumstances. This is an initial generic implementation for all architectures. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
