2007-01-24[POWERPC] Do not write virq back to PCI config spaceMichal Ostrowski
- Drivers will not rely on the PCI config space value, as they've already been conditioned to rely on the irq field in "struct pci_dev". - The virq value may not be < 256 as it has been remapped. - The PCI config space should reflect the hardware configuration, which is not being changed. We are only creating a virtual irq mapping that exists in the kernel only. One would never expect the PCI hardware to generate the "virq" interrupt.

2007-01-11[PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinitGautham R Shenoy
Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b9c) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141bd8) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c05) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c26) and 'cpu_up' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up' This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are defined as __devinit AND __cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions. Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration, we get a .text refering .init.data warning. This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or are of __init type. Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would land up in .init section.

2007-01-09[POWERPC] Fix manual assembly WARN_ON() in enter_rtas().David Woodhouse
When we switched over to the generic BUG mechanism we forgot to change the assembly code which open-codes a WARN_ON() in enter_rtas(), so the bug table got corrupted. This patch provides an EMIT_BUG_ENTRY macro for use in assembly code, and uses it in entry_64.S. Tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE on ppc64 but not without -- I tried to turn it off but it wouldn't go away; I suspect Aunt Tillie probably needed it. This version gets __FILE__ and __LINE__ right in the assembly version -- rather than saying include/asm-powerpc/bug.h line 21 every time which is a little suboptimal.

2006-12-20[POWERPC] Fix register save area alignment for swapcontext syscallPaul Mackerras
For 32-bit processes, the getcontext side of the swapcontext system call (i.e. the saving of the context when the first argument is non-NULL) has to set the ctx->uc_mcontext.uc_regs pointer to the place where it saves the registers. Which it does, but it doesn't ensure that the pointer is 16-byte aligned. 16-byte alignment is needed because the Altivec/VMX registers are saved in there, and they need to be on a 16-byte boundary. This fixes it by ensuring the appropriate alignment of the pointer. This issue was pointed out by Jakub Jelinek. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-12-20[POWERPC] Workaround oldworld OF bug with IRQs & P2P bridgesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
On some oldworld PowerMacs, OF doesn't assign interrupts properly beyond P2P bridges. Fortunately, the fix is easy as all those machines just wire all IRQ lines together to one IRQ which is assigned to the bridge itself. We already have a special function for parsing Apple OldWorld interrupts which are special, so let's add to it the ability to walk up the PCI tree to find interrupts.

2006-12-11[POWERPC] Generic BUG for powerpcJeremy Fitzhardinge
This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery. The biggest reports the function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general. There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several functions. Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG macro includes a goto loop. This will generate a real jmp instruction, which is never used.

2006-12-11[POWERPC] Fix irq routing on some 32-bit PowerMacsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The changes to use pci_read_irq_line() broke interrupt parsing on some 32-bit powermacs (oops). The reason is a bit obscure. The code to parse interrupts happens earlier now, during pcibios_fixup() as the PCI bus is being probed. However, the current implementation pci_device_to_OF_node() for 32-bit powerpc relies, on machines like PowerMac which renumber PCI buses, on a table called pci_OF_bus_map containing a map of bus numbers between the kernel and the firmware which is setup only later. Thus, it fails to match the device node. In addition, some of Apple internal PCI devices lack a proper PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN, thus preventing the fallback mapping code to work. This patch fixes it by making pci_device_to_OF_node() 32-bit implementation use a different algorithm that works without using the pci_OF_bus_map thing (which I intend to deprecate anyway). It's a bit slower but that function isn't called in any hot path hopefully. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2006-12-11[POWERPC] Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodesPaul Mackerras
For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an alternative, more compact representation for the information about the memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information. This adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation. The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can handle the alternative representation. There is however a subtlety here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory representation we request is different from the representation that firmware is currently using. This is because firmware can't change the representation on the fly. Further, some firmware versions used on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000). Because of this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines. We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the ibm,client-architecture-support call. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-12-08[POWERPC] Add support for FP emulation for the e300c2 coreKim Phillips
The e300c2 has no FPU. Its MSR[FP] is grounded to zero. If an attempt is made to execute a floating point instruction (including floating-point load, store, or move instructions), the e300c2 takes a floating-point unavailable interrupt. This patch adds support for FP emulation on the e300c2 by declaring a new CPU_FTR_FP_TAKES_FPUNAVAIL, where FP unavail interrupts are intercepted and redirected to the ProgramCheck exception path for correct emulation handling. (If we run out of CPU_FTR bits we could look to reclaim this bit by adding support to test the cpu_user_features for PPC_FEATURE_HAS_FPU instead) It adds a nop to the exception path for 32-bit processors with a FPU.

2006-12-08[POWERPC] Fix mmap of PCI resource with hack for XBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The powerpc version of pci_resource_to_user() and associated hooks used by /proc/bus/pci and /sys/bus/pci mmap have been broken for some time on machines that don't have a 1:1 mapping of devices (basically on non-PowerMacs) and have PCI devices above 32 bits. This attempts to fix it as well as possible. The rule is supposed to be that pci_resource_to_user() always converts the resources back into a BAR values since that's what the /proc interface was supposed to deal with. However, for X to work on platforms where PCI MMIO is not mapped 1:1, it became a habit of platforms like powerpc to pass "fixed up" values there since X expects to be able to use values from /proc/bus/pci/devices as offsets to mmap of /dev/mem... So we keep that contraption here, causing also /sys/*/resource to expose fully absolute MMIO addresses instead of BAR values, which is ugly, but should still work as long as those are only used to calculate alignment within a page. X is still broken when built 32 bits on machines where PCI MMIO can be above 32-bit space unfortunately.

2006-12-07[PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernelMasami Hiramatsu
When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer. There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing. However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency. The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release "dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if there are no unused slots.

2006-12-07[PATCH] relocatable kernel: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbolsEric W. Biederman
Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text so that ld will generate relocations. Allowing a relocatable kernel to relocate them. We can't actually use the symbol names because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported from their object files. Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't define it otherwise linker will fail. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
