2008-01-15[POWERPC] Workaround for iommu page alignmentBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Commit 5d2efba64b231a1733c4048d1708d77e07f26426 changed our iommu code so that it always uses an iommu page size of 4kB. That means with our current code, drivers may do a dma_map_sg() of a 64kB page and obtain a dma_addr_t that is only 4k aligned. This works fine in most cases except for some infiniband HW it seems, where they tell the HW about the page size and it ignores the low bits of the DMA address. This works around it by making our IOMMU code enforce a PAGE_SIZE alignment for mappings of objects that are page aligned in the first place and whose size is larger or equal to a page.

2008-01-10[POWERPC] efika: add phy-handle property for fec_mpc52xxOlaf Hering
The new network driver fec_mpc52xx will not work on efika because the firmware does not provide all required properties. http://www.powerdeveloper.org/asset/by-id/46 has a Forth script to create more properties. But only the phy stuff is required to get a working network. This should go into the kernel because its appearently impossible to boot the script via tftp and then load the real boot binary (yaboot or zimage).

The commit fa13a5a1f25f671d084d8884be96fc48d9b68275 (sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc), unconditionally calls update_process_tick() in system context. In the deterministic accounting case this is the correct thing to do. However, in the non-deterministic accounting case we need to not do this, since doing this results in the time accounted as hardware irq time being artificially elevated. Also this collapses 2 consecutive '#ifdef CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING' checks in time.h into one for neatness.

2007-12-03Revert "[POWERPC] Fix RTAS os-term usage on kernel panic"Paul Mackerras
This reverts commit a2b51812a4dc5db09ab4d4638d4d8ed456e2457e. It turns out that this change caused some machines to fail to come back up when being rebooted, and generated an error in the hypervisor error log on some machines. The platform architecture (PAPR) is a little unclear on exactly when the RTAS ibm,os-term function should be called. Until that is clarified I'm reverting this commit.

2007-11-20[POWERPC] Fix RTAS os-term usage on kernel panicLinas Vepstas
The rtas_os_term() routine was being called at the wrong time. The actual rtas call "os-term" will not ever return, and so calling it from the panic notifier is too early. Instead, call it from the machine_reset() call. This splits the rtas_os_term() routine into two: one part to capture the kernel panic message, invoked during the panic notifier, and another part that is invoked during machine_reset(). Prior to this patch, the os-term call was never being made, because panic_timeout was always non-zero. Calling os-term helps keep the hypervisor happy! We have to keep the hypervisor happy to avoid service, dump and error reporting problems. Signed-off-by: Linas Vepstas <linas@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-11-19[POWERPC] Fix multiple bugs in rtas_ibm_suspend_me codeNathan Lynch
There are several issues with the rtas_ibm_suspend_me code, which enables platform-assisted suspension of an LPAR as covered in PAPR 2.2. 1.) rtas_ibm_suspend_me uses on_each_cpu() to invoke rtas_percpu_suspend_me on all cpus via IPI: if (on_each_cpu(rtas_percpu_suspend_me, &data, 1, 0)) ... 'data' is on the calling task's stack, but rtas_ibm_suspend_me takes no measures to ensure that all instances of rtas_percpu_suspend_me are finished accessing 'data' before returning. This can result in the IPI'd cpus accessing random stack data and getting stuck in H_JOIN. This is addressed by using an atomic count of workers and a completion on the stack. 2.) rtas_percpu_suspend_me is needlessly calling H_JOIN in a loop. The only event that can cause a cpu to return from H_JOIN is an H_PROD from another cpu or a NMI/system reset. Each cpu need call H_JOIN only once per suspend operation. Remove the loop and the now unnecessary 'waiting' state variable. 3.) H_JOIN must be called with MSR[EE] off, but lazy interrupt disabling may cause the caller of rtas_ibm_suspend_me to call H_JOIN with it on; the local_irq_disable() in on_each_cpu() is not sufficient. Fix this by explicitly saving the MSR and clearing the EE bit before calling H_JOIN. 4.) H_PROD is being called with the Linux logical cpu number as the parameter, not the platform interrupt server value. (It's also being called for all possible cpus, which is harmless, but unnecessary.) This is fixed by calling H_PROD for each online cpu using get_hard_smp_processor_id(cpu) for the argument. Signed-off-by: Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-11-13[POWERPC] Avoid unpaired stwcx. on some processorsBecky Bruce
The context switch code in the kernel issues a dummy stwcx. to clear the reservation, as recommended by the architecture. However, some processors can have issues if this stwcx to address A occurs while the reservation is already held to a different address B. To avoid this problem, the dummy stwcx. needs to be paired with a dummy lwarx to the same address. This adds the dummy lwarx, and creates a cpu feature bit to indicate which cpus are affected.

2007-11-09sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpcPaul Mackerras
Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times(). This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times that updates utime and stime into a separate function called account_process_tick. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined, there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to implement account_process_tick. This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390 timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a suitable account_process_tick(). account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument. Tested both with and without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-11-08[POWERPC] Fix off-by-one error in setting decrementer on Book E/4xx (v2)Paul Mackerras
The decrementer in Book E and 4xx processors interrupts on the transition from 1 to 0, rather than on the 0 to -1 transition as on 64-bit server and 32-bit "classic" (6xx/7xx/7xxx) processors. At the moment we subtract 1 from the count of how many decrementer ticks are required before the next interrupt before putting it into the decrementer, which is correct for server/classic processors, but could possibly cause the interrupt to happen too early on Book E and 4xx if the timebase/decrementer frequency is low. This fixes the problem by making set_dec subtract 1 from the count for server and classic processors, instead of having the callers subtract 1. Since set_dec already had a bunch of ifdefs to handle different processor types, there is no net increase in ugliness. :) Note that calling set_dec(0) may not generate an interrupt on some processors. To make sure that decrementer_set_next_event always calls set_dec with an interval of at least 1 tick, we set min_delta_ns of the decrementer_clockevent to correspond to 2 ticks (2 rather than 1 to compensate for truncations in the conversions between ticks and ns). This also removes a redundant call to set the decrementer to 0x7fffffff - it was already set to that earlier in timer_interrupt. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-11-08[POWERPC] Fix cache line vs. block size confusionBenjamin Herrenschmidt
We had an historical confusion in the kernel between cache line and cache block size. The former is an implementation detail of the L1 cache which can be useful for performance optimisations, the later is the actual size on which the cache control instructions operate, which can be different. For some reason, we had a weird hack reading the right property on powermac and the wrong one on any other 64 bits (32 bits is unaffected as it only uses the cputable for cache block size infos at this stage). This fixes the booting-without-of.txt documentation to mention the right properties, and fixes the 64 bits initialization code to look for the block size first, with a fallback to the line size if the property is missing.

2007-11-01[POWERPC] 4xx: Deal with 44x virtually tagged icacheBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches in their distro... This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon return to user space when that happens. This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which isn't something I want to deal with.

2007-11-01[POWERPC] 4xx: Fix 4xx flush_tlb_page()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
On 4xx CPUs, the current implementation of flush_tlb_page() uses a low level _tlbie() assembly function that only works for the current PID. Thus, invalidations caused by, for example, a COW fault triggered by get_user_pages() from a different context will not work properly, causing among other things, gdb breakpoints to fail. This patch adds a "pid" argument to _tlbie() on 4xx processors, and uses it to flush entries in the right context. FSL BookE also gets the argument but it seems they don't need it (their tlbivax form ignores the PID when invalidating according to the document I have).

2007-11-01[POWERPC] 4xx: Workaround for the 440EP(x)/GR(x) processors identical PVR issue.Valentine Barshak
PowerPC 440EP(x) 440GR(x) processors have the same PVR values, since they have identical cores. However, FPU is not supported on GR(x) and enabling APU instruction broadcast in the CCR0 register (to enable FPU) may cause unpredictable results. There's no safe way to detect FPU support at runtime. This patch provides a workarund for the issue. We use a POWER6 "logical PVR approach". First, we identify all EP(x) and GR(x) processors as GR(x) ones (which is safe). Then we check the device tree cpu path. If we have a EP(x) processor entry, we call identify_cpu again with PVR | 0x8. This bit is always 0 in the real PVR. This way we enable FPU only for 440EP(x). Signed-off-by: Valentine Barshak <vbarshak@ru.mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().

2007-10-18powerpc: add scaled time accountingMichael Neuling
This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting. POWER6 includes a SPURR register. The SPURR is based off the PURR register but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates. This gives a more accurate account of the instructions used per task. The PURR and timebase will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU frequency. This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit. The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of these accounted by the PURR. If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read. An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR was read, which included the system call entry and exit path.

2007-10-17powerpc: add Altivec/VMX state to coredumpsMark Nelson
Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue typedef and #defines to make it work. A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and 0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

2007-10-17[POWERPC] Fix 64 bits vDSO DWARF info for CR registerBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The current DWARF info for CR are incorrect, causing the gcc unwinder to go to lunch if we take a segfault in the vdso. This fixes it. Problem identified by Andrew Haley, and fix provided by Jakub Jelinek (thanks !). Unfortunately, a bug in gcc cause it to not quite work either, but that is being fixed separately with something around the lines of: linux-unwind.h: fs->regs.reg[R_CR2].loc.offset = (long) &regs->ccr - new_cfa; + /* CR? regs are just 32-bit and PPC is big-endian. */ + fs->regs.reg[R_CR2].loc.offset += sizeof (long) - 4; (According to Jakub) Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-10-17[POWERPC] Add 1TB workaround for PA6TOlof Johansson
PA6T has a bug where the slbie instruction does not honor the large segment bit. As a result, we have to always use slbia when switching context. We don't have to worry about changing the slbie's during fault processing, since they should never be replacing one VSID with another using the same ESID. I.e. there's no risk for inserting duplicate entries due to a failed slbie of the old entry. So as long as we clear it out on context switch we should be fine.

2007-10-17[POWERPC] Quieten cache information at bootAnton Blanchard
After 6 years the ppc64 kernel still thinks its important to tell me my cache line size is 0x80 bytes. I think most people who care know that by now. The rest probably cant even understand the hex output. Since we might have misconfigured firmware or cpus that have a linesize that isnt 128 bytes, I still print it out for those cases. If people would prefer to remove it completely, lets do it. Also for lpar remove the htab_address printout since its not used.

2007-10-17[POWERPC] ibmebus: Add device creation and bus probing based on of_deviceJoachim Fenkes
The devtree root is now searched for devices matching a built-in whitelist during boot, so these devices appear on the bus from the beginning. It is still possible to manually add/remove devices to/from the bus by using the probe/remove sysfs interface. Also, when a device driver registers itself, the devtree is matched against its matchlist. Signed-off-by: Joachim Fenkes <fenkes@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
