2006-10-04[POWERPC] Fix xmon=off and cleanup xmon initialisationMichael Ellerman
My patch to make the early xmon logic work with earlier early param parsing (480f6f35a149802a94ad5c1a2673ed6ec8d2c158) breaks xmon=off. No one does this obviously as xmon rocks, but it should really work as documented. While fixing that it struck me that we could move the xmon param handling into xmon.c, and also consolidate the xmon_init()/do_early_xmon logic into xmon_setup(). This means xmon=early drops into xmon a little earlier on 32-bit, but it seems to work just fine. Tested on PSERIES and CLASSIC32.

2006-10-03[PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbersDavid Howells
These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system. They are required because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS for example. The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace automatically where the arch supports it. Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and so overlaps occur. This patch: Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace. The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where available and where possible. If it is not possible to represent the inode number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then error EOVERFLOW will be issued. Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented. Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to. Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a 32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the same reasons. It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.

2006-10-02[PATCH] rename the provided execve functions to kernel_execveArnd Bergmann

Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so remove these right away.

2006-10-01[PATCH] kill wall_jiffiesAtsushi Nemoto
With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies. So we can kill wall_jiffies completely. This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of kill the whole "if" block.

2006-09-29[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies.

2006-09-26[POWERPC] Always call cede in pseries dedicated idle loopAnton Blanchard
The smt_snooze_delay logic changed a bit when the idle loops were consolidated. A value of 0 used to mean we always polled, now it means we always sleep. Instead of restoring the old behaviour, lets put a reasonable default in smt_snooze_delay. This means we spin for a bit (in case an external interrupt comes in) and then sleep. Also the pseries dedicated idle loop currently does not cede both threads in an SMT pair. The hypervisor wants us to call in so it can power manage, so lets do that.

2006-09-26[POWERPC] Fix loop logic in irq_alloc_virt()Michael Ellerman
There's a bug in irq_alloc_virt() if it's asked for more than 1 interrupt, if it can't find a slot it might look past the end of the irq_map. To be clear: the bug is that the continue affects the inner for loop, not the outer one, so i becomes j + 1 and then we continue the inner loop without checking if i is still <= limit. This fixes it. No one in the kernel actually calls this with count > 1, so it's not critical.

The secure_computing() call which automatically aborts a process if it tries to execute a syscall it shouldn't is much more useful if we actually do it _before_ the syscall, rather than afterwards. PPC64 got this right, but the original incorrect behaviour inherited from arch/ppc was preserved by ifdefs. Make it the same on PPC32 too.

2006-09-13[POWERPC] Fix MMIO ops to provide expected barrier behaviourPaul Mackerras
This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory. To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions have had an sync added before the load. Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb() is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required. Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by __raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock. If it is set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it. This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX. 32-bit already has a sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus doesn't need the per-cpu flag.

2006-08-30[PATCH] ppc32: fix last_jiffy time comparisonPaul Mackerras
This fixes a hang on ppc32. The problem was that I was comparing a 32-bit quantity with a 64-bit quantity, and consequently time wasn't advancing. This makes us use a 64-bit quantity on all platforms, which ends up simplifying the code since we can now get rid of the tb_last_stamp variable (which actually fixes another bug that Ben H and I noticed while going carefully through the code). This works fine on my G4 tibook. Let me know how it goes on your machines.

2006-08-30[POWERPC] Fix irq enable/disable in smp_generic_take_timebasePaul Mackerras
Eran Ben-Avi <eranpublic@yahoo.com> pointed out that the arch/ppc version of smp_generic_take_timebase disables interrupts on entry but exits without restoring them. However, both it and the arch/powerpc version have another problem, which is that they use local_irq_disable/enable rather than local_irq_save/restore, and they are called with interrupts disabled. This fixes both problems; it changes a return to a break in the arch/ppc version, and changes both versions to use local_irq_save/restore. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-08-30[POWERPC] Fix problem with time not advancing on 32-bit platformsPaul Mackerras
This fixes a problem introduced in 5db9fa9593e2ff69f2b95f9d59229dc4faaa564d. The last_jiffy per-cpu variable is only 32 bits on 32-bit machines, but it was being compared with a 64-bit quantity (tb_next_jiffy), which resulted in time not advancing. This fixes it by changing last_jiffy to be 64 bits on all platforms. With this, we no longer need tb_last_stamp as a 32-bit version of tb_last_jiffy, so this gets rid of tb_last_stamp and we just use tb_last_jiffy instead. This also fixes a bug when the boot cpu is not online, because using tb_last_stamp could have caused the wrong timebase origin value to be used when calculating the time of day.

2006-08-30[POWERPC] Make OF irq map code detect more error casesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Device-tree bugs on js20 with some versions of SLOF were causing the interrupt for IDE to not be parsed correctly and fail to boot. This patch adds a bit more sanity checking to the parser to detect some of those errors and fail instead of returning bogus information. The powerpc PCI code can then trigger a fallback that works on those machines. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-08-30[POWERPC] Fix performance regression in IRQ radix tree lockingBenjamin Herrenschmidt
When reworking the powerpc irq code, I figured out that we were using the radix tree in a racy way. As a temporary fix, I put a spinlock in there. However, this can have a significant impact on performances. This patch reworks that to use a smarter technique based on the fact that what we need is in fact a rwlock with extremely rare writers (thus optimized for the read path).
