2006-10-16[POWERPC] Remove todc code from ARCH=powerpcDavid Gibson
Apparently we've copied the todc drivers, for various RTCs used in embedded machines from ARCH=ppc to ARCH=powerpc, despite the fact that it's never used in the latter. This patch removes it. If we ever need these drivers (which we probably shouldn't now the RTC class stuff is in), we can transfer them one by one from ARCH=ppc, removing from the hideous abomination which is the todc "infrastructure".

2006-10-04[POWERPC] Add QUICC Engine (QE) infrastructureLi Yang
Add QUICC Engine (QE) configuration, header files, and QE management and library code that are used by QE devices drivers. Includes Leo's modifications up to, and including, the platform_device to of_device adaptation: "The series of patches add generic QE infrastructure called qe_lib, and MPC8360EMDS board support. Qe_lib is used by QE device drivers such as ucc_geth driver. This version updates QE interrupt controller to use new irq mapping mechanism, addresses all the comments received with last submission and includes some style fixes. v2: Change to use device tree for BCSR and MURAM; Remove I/O port interrupt handling code as it is not generic enough. v3: Address comments from Kumar; Update definition of several device tree nodes; Copyright style change." In addition, the following changes have been made: o removed typedefs o uint -> u32 conversions o removed following defines: QE_SIZEOF_BD, BD_BUFFER_ARG, BD_BUFFER_CLEAR, BD_BUFFER, BD_STATUS_AND_LENGTH_SET, BD_STATUS_AND_LENGTH, and BD_BUFFER_SET because they hid sizeof/in_be32/out_be32 operations from the reader. o fixed qe_snums_init() serial num assignment to use a const array o made CONFIG_UCC_FAST select UCC_SLOW o reduced NR_QE_IC_INTS from 128 to 64 o remove _IO_BASE, etc. defines (not used) o removed irrelevant comments, added others to resemble removed BD_ defines o realigned struct definitions in headers o various other style fixes including things like pinMask -> pin_mask o fixed a ton of whitespace issues o marked ioregs as __be32/__be16 o removed platform_device code and redundant get_qe_base() o removed redundant comments o added cpu_relax() to qe_reset o uncasted all get_property() assignments o eliminated unneeded casts o eliminated immrbar_phys_to_virt (not used) Signed-off-by: Li Yang <leoli@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Shlomi Gridish <gridish@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-10-02[PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portableAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli
In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that: o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe. The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have to specify the ".symbols" o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to specify an offset into a symbol. o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported. However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified, probe registration fails with an -EINVAL. o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't work, say, on powerpc) Signed-off-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-08-30[POWERPC] Support for "weird" MPICs and fixup mpc7448_hpc2Zang Roy-r61911
This adds a new hardware information table for mpic. This enables the mpic code to deal with mpic controllers with different register layouts and hardware behaviours. This introduces CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD. For boards with non standard mpic controllers, select CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD and add its hardware information in the mpic_infos[] array. TSI108/109 PIC takes the first index of weird hardware information table. :) The table can be extended. The Tsi108/109 PIC looks like standard OpenPIC but, in fact, is different in register mapping and behavior. The patch does not affect the behavior of standard mpic. If CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD is not defined, the code is essentially identical to the current code. [benh@kernel.crashing.org: This patch is a slightly cleaned up version of Zang Roy's support for the TSI108 MPIC variant. It also fixes up MPC7448_hpc2 to use the new version of the type macros and changes the way MPIC is selected in Kconfig to better match what is done for other system devices. ] Signed-off-by: Roy Zang <tie-fei.zang@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-04-18powerpc: Use correct sequence for putting CPU into nap modePaul Mackerras
We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into nap mode. When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus started hanging when we put them into nap mode. Changing to the recommended sequence fixes that. The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode. Clearly we need some way to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt, decrementer, performance monitor) occurs. Here we use a bit in the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop. We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence. The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing there too. This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on 32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to get trashed. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-04-11[PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFTYasunori Goto
Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5 NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy. SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's number. This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary. On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2 config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It would be simpler.

2006-02-24powerpc: Implement accurate task and CPU time accountingPaul Mackerras
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>
