2009-06-26powerpc: Add irqtrace support for 32-bit powerpcBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Based on initial work from: Dale Farnsworth <dale@farnsworth.org> Add the low level irq tracing hooks for 32-bit powerpc needed to enable full lockdep functionality. The approach taken to deal with the code in entry_32.S is that we don't trace all the transitions of MSR:EE when we just turn it off to peek at TI_FLAGS without races. Only when we are calling into C code or returning from exceptions with a state that have changed from what lockdep thinks. There's a little bugger though: If we take an exception that keeps interrupts enabled (such as an alignment exception) while interrupts are enabled, we will call trace_hardirqs_on() on the way back spurriously. Not a big deal, but to get rid of it would require remembering in pt_regs that the exception was one of the type that kept interrupts enabled which we don't know at this stage. (Well, we could test all cases for regs->trap but that sucks too much). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Tested-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-06-18perf_counter: powerpc: Enable use of software counters on 32-bit powerpcPaul Mackerras
This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc. Since we don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet, only software counters can be used. Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as 64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of set_perf_counter_pending(). This needs to arrange for perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled. Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already pending). When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending(). We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call perf_counter_do_pending() or not. This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT, which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.

2009-06-15powerpc: Don't do generic calibrate_delay()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Currently we are wasting time calling the generic calibrate_delay() function. We don't need it since our implementation of __delay() is based on the CPU timebase. So instead, we use our own small implementation that initializes loops_per_jiffy to something sensible to make the few users like spinlock debug be happy Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-06-09powerpc: Add support for swiotlb on 32-bitBecky Bruce
This patch includes the basic infrastructure to use swiotlb bounce buffering on 32-bit powerpc. It is not yet enabled on any platforms. Probably the most interesting bit is the addition of addr_needs_map to dma_ops - we need this as a dma_op because the decision of whether or not an addr can be mapped by a device is device-specific.

2009-05-27powerpc: Fix up dma_alloc_coherent() on platforms without cache coherency.Benjamin Herrenschmidt
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>
2009-05-27Revert "powerpc: Rework dma-noncoherent to use generic vmalloc layer"Benjamin Herrenschmidt
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.

2009-05-02Move dtc and libfdt sources from arch/powerpc/boot to scripts/dtcDavid Gibson
The powerpc kernel always requires an Open Firmware like device tree to supply device information. On systems without OF, this comes from a flattened device tree blob. This blob is usually generated by dtc, a tool which compiles a text description of the device tree into the flattened format used by the kernel. Sometimes, the bootwrapper makes small changes to the pre-compiled device tree blob (e.g. filling in the size of RAM). To do this it uses the libfdt library. Because these are only used on powerpc, the code for both these tools is included under arch/powerpc/boot (these were imported and are periodically updated from the upstream dtc tree). However, the microblaze architecture, currently being prepared for merging to mainline also uses dtc to produce device tree blobs. A few other archs have also mentioned some interest in using dtc. Therefore, this patch moves dtc and libfdt from arch/powerpc into scripts, where it can be used by any architecture. The vast bulk of this patch is a literal move, the rest is adjusting the various Makefiles to use dtc and libfdt correctly from their new locations.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().

This removes it along with the following changes: - 32-bit platforms that relied on PPC32 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now rely on 6xx which is what they want anyway. - A new symbol, PPC_BOOK3S, is defined that represent compliance with the "Server" variant of the architecture. This is set when either 6xx or PPC64 is set and open the door for future BOOK3E 64-bit. - 64-bit platforms that relied on PPC64 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now use PPC64 && PPC_BOOK3S - A separate and selectable CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE option is now used to control the use of prom_init.c Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-02-14powerpc/44x: Support for 256KB PAGE_SIZEYuri Tikhonov
This patch adds support for 256KB pages on ppc44x-based boards. For simplification of implementation with 256KB pages we still assume 2-level paging. As a side effect this leads to wasting extra memory space reserved for PTE tables: only 1/4 of pages allocated for PTEs are actually used. But this may be an acceptable trade-off to achieve the high performance we have with big PAGE_SIZEs in some applications (e.g. RAID). Also with 256KB PAGE_SIZE we increase THREAD_SIZE up to 32KB to minimize the risk of stack overflows in the cases of on-stack arrays, which size depends on the page size (e.g. multipage BIOs, NTFS, etc.). With 256KB PAGE_SIZE we need to decrease the PKMAP_ORDER at least down to 9, otherwise all high memory (2 ^ 10 * PAGE_SIZE == 256MB) we'll be occupied by PKMAP addresses leaving no place for vmalloc. We do not separate PKMAP_ORDER for 256K from 16K/64K PAGE_SIZE here; actually that value of 10 in support for 16K/64K had been selected rather intuitively. Thus now for all cases of PAGE_SIZE on ppc44x (including the default, 4KB, one) we have 512 pages for PKMAP. Because ELF standard supports only page sizes up to 64K, then you should use binutils later than 2.17.50.0.3 with '-zmax-page-size' set to 256K for building applications, which are to be run with the 256KB-page sized kernel. If using the older binutils, then you should patch them like follows: --- binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c.orig +++ binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c -#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE 0x10000 +#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE 0x40000 One more restriction we currently have with 256KB page sizes is inability to use shmem safely, so, for now, the 256KB is available only if you turn the CONFIG_SHMEM option off (another variant is to use BROKEN). Though, if you need shmem with 256KB pages, you can always remove the !SHMEM dependency in 'config PPC_256K_PAGES', and use the workaround available here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/19/20 Signed-off-by: Yuri Tikhonov <yur@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Yanok <yanok@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2009-01-28powerpc/fsl-booke: Make CAM entries used for lowmem configurableTrent Piepho
On booke processors, the code that maps low memory only uses up to three CAM entries, even though there are sixteen and nothing else uses them.

2009-01-28powerpc/fsl-booke: Allow larger CAM sizes than 256 MBTrent Piepho
The code that maps kernel low memory would only use page sizes up to 256 MB. On E500v2 pages up to 4 GB are supported. However, a page must be aligned to a multiple of the page's size. I.e. 256 MB pages must aligned to a 256 MB boundary. This was enforced by a requirement that the physical and virtual addresses of the start of lowmem be aligned to 256 MB. Clearly requiring 1GB or 4GB alignment to allow pages of that size isn't acceptable. To solve this, I simply have adjust_total_lowmem() take alignment into account when it decides what size pages to use. Give it PAGE_OFFSET = 0x7000_0000, PHYSICAL_START = 0x3000_0000, and 2GB of RAM, and it will map pages like this: PA 0x3000_0000 VA 0x7000_0000 Size 256 MB PA 0x4000_0000 VA 0x8000_0000 Size 1 GB PA 0x8000_0000 VA 0xC000_0000 Size 256 MB PA 0x9000_0000 VA 0xD000_0000 Size 256 MB PA 0xA000_0000 VA 0xE000_0000 Size 256 MB Because the lowmem mapping code now takes alignment into account, PHYSICAL_ALIGN can be lowered from 256 MB to 64 MB. Even lower might be possible. The lowmem code will work down to 4 kB but it's possible some of the boot code will fail before then. Poor alignment will force small pages to be used, which combined with the limited number of TLB1 pages available, will result in very little memory getting mapped. So alignments less than 64 MB probably aren't very useful anyway. Signed-off-by: Trent Piepho <tpiepho@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

2008-10-22powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernelMohan Kumar M
This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234) is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels. The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in head_64.S. During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter. CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and kdump kernel. This patch incorporates the changes suggested by Paul Mackerras to avoid GOT use and to avoid two copies of the code.

2008-10-20ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACERSteven Rostedt
Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same. This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

2008-10-20container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystemMatt Helsley
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. Reading will return the current state. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task in a simple scenario. It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these things happens: 1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to the freezer.state file 2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal and returns EIO) 3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN" state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

2008-10-07powerpc: Enforce sane MAX_ORDERJohannes Berg
powerpc uses CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER, and some things depend on it being at least 10 when 64k pages are not configured (notably the dart iommu code with CONFIG_PM). The defaults are fine, but when going from a 64K pages config to one without 64K pages, MAX_ORDER stays at 9 which is too low for 4K pages. This patch makes the Kconfig enforce at least the defaults.

2008-09-15powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executablePaul Mackerras
This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at, since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables, so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.) The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr), where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns 0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running at), which necessitated a few adjustments. This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet). With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical address 0 and run there. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-09-14generic: add phys_addr_t for holding physical addressesJeremy Fitzhardinge
Add a kernel-wide "phys_addr_t" which is guaranteed to be able to hold any physical address. By default it equals the word size of the architecture, but a 32-bit architecture can set ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT if it needs a 64-bit phys_addr_t.
