2006-03-03[PATCH] powerpc: Expose SMT and L1 icache snoop userland featuresBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch makes userland aware of the icache snoop capability of the POWER5 (and possibly others in the future) and of SMT capabilities. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-03-03powerpc: Fix might-sleep warning in program check exception handlerPaul Mackerras
On 32-bit, the exception prolog for the program check exception doesn't enable interrupts early on. If it is an illegal instruction exception, we read the instruction in order to emulate certain instructions, and the get_user of the instruction triggers a WARN_ON since interrupts are still disabled. This adds a local_irq_enable() to enable interrupts before reading the instruction. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-02-28[PATCH] Add mm->task_size and fix powerpc vdsoBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch adds mm->task_size to keep track of the task size of a given mm and uses that to fix the powerpc vdso so that it uses the mm task size to decide what pages to fault in instead of the current thread flags (which broke when ptracing). (akpm: I expect that mm_struct.task_size will become the way in which we finally sort out the confusion between 32-bit processes and 32-bit mm's. It may need tweaks, but at this stage this patch is powerpc-only.)

2006-02-28[PATCH] powerpc: vdso 64bits gettimeofday bugBenjamin Herrenschmidt
A bug in the assembly code of the vdso can cause gettimeofday() to hang or to return incorrect results. The wrong register was used to test for pending updates of the calibration variables and to create a dependency for subsequent loads. This fixes it.

2006-02-24[PATCH] powerpc: Fix mem= cmdline handling on arch/powerpc for !MULTIPLATFORMKumar Gala
mem= command line option was being ignored in arch/powerpc if we were not a CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM (which is handled via prom_init stub). The initial command line extraction and parsing needed to be moved earlier in the boot process and have code to actual parse mem= and do something about it. Also, fixed a compile warning in the file.

2006-02-24[PATCH] powerpc64: remove broken/bitrotted HMT supportAnton Blanchard
HMT support is currently broken and needs to be reworked to play nicely with the SMT scheduler. Remove the bit rotten bits for the time being.

2006-02-24[PATCH] powerpc: Fix runlatch performance issuesAnton Blanchard
The runlatch SPR can take a lot of time to write. My original runlatch code would set it on every exception entry even though most of the time this was not required. It would also continually set it in the idle loop, which is an issue on an SMT capable processor. Now we cache the runlatch value in a threadinfo bit, and only check for it in decrementer and hardware interrupt exceptions as well as the idle loop. Boot on POWER3, POWER5 and iseries, and compile tested on pmac32. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-02-24[PATCH] powerpc: fix altivec_unavailable_exception OopsesAlan Curry
altivec_unavailable_exception is called without setting r3... it looks like the r3 that actually gets passed in as struct pt_regs *regs is the undisturbed value of r3 at the time the altivec instruction was encountered. The user actually gets to choose the pt_regs printed in the Oops! This fixes the oops by passing the correct pt_regs pointer to altivec_unavailable_exception.

2006-02-24[PATCH] powerpc: Only calculate htab_size in one place for kexecMichael Ellerman
For kexec we need to know the size of the MMU hash table. Currently we calculate the size once in the htab code, and then twice more in the kexec code, once using htab_hash_mask and once using ppc64_pft_size. On some machines the ppc64_pft_size calculation is broken because ppc64_pft_size is not set. So we need to fix the second calculation, but better still we should just calculate the size once and use it everywhere else. Tested on Power5 LPAR, Power4 non-LPAR and Power3.

2006-02-20[PATCH] powerpc: Make UP -> SMP kexec work againMichael Ellerman
For UP to SMP kexec to work we need to jump into pSeries_secondary_smp_init event on a UP + KEXEC kernel. The secondary cpus will not find their hw_cpu_id in the paca and so they'll jump into kexec_wait, ready for a kexec.

2006-02-20[PATCH] powerpc: Don't start secondary CPUs in a UP && KEXEC kernelMichael Ellerman
Because smp_release_cpus() is built for SMP || KEXEC, it's not safe to unconditionally call it from setup_system(). On a UP && KEXEC kernel we'll start up the secondary CPUs which will then go beserk and we die. Simple fix is to conditionally call smp_release_cpus() in setup_system(). With that in place we don't need the dummy definition of smp_release_cpus() because all call sites are #ifdef'ed either SMP or KEXEC.

2006-02-20powerpc: Keep xtime and gettimeofday in syncPaul Mackerras
This fixes a regression which was introduced by moving ppc32 to use the same sort of lockless gettimeofday as ppc64 has been using for some time. This involves getting the timebase and performing some simple arithmetic to convert it to seconds and microseconds. However, the factor and offset used there weren't being updated when NTP varied the tick length using adjtimex. 64-bit didn't notice the problem because it had a hook in the 32-bit adjtimex compat routine that attempted to work out what the generic timekeeping code would do and alter the factor and offset to match. However, that code was very complex and it wasn't clear that it still matched what the generic code would do. Now we use the generic current_tick_length() routine that was recently added to check that the current tick will be as long as we expect; if not we recompute the factor and offset. This keeps gettimeofday and xtime in sync. In addition we check that gettimeofday hasn't got ahead of xtime on each timer interrupt; if it has, we resync.

2006-02-07[PATCH] powerpc: avoid timer interrupt replay effect when onlining cpuNathan Lynch
When a cpu is hotplug-onlined, if we don't set per_cpu(last_jiffy) to something sane, timer_interrupt will execute its while loop for every tick missed since the cpu was last online (or since the system was booted, if we're adding a new cpu). This can cause weird hangs, ssh sessions dropping, and we can even go xmon if we take a global IPI at the wrong time.

2006-02-07[PATCH] powerpc: Don't overwrite flat device tree with kdump kernelMichael Ellerman
It's possible for prom_init to allocate the flat device tree inside the kdump crash kernel region. If this happens, when we load the kdump kernel we overwrite the flattened device tree, which is bad. We could make prom_init try and avoid allocating inside the crash kernel region, but then we run into issues if the crash kernel region uses all the space inside the RMO.

2006-02-07[PATCH] powerpc: remove useless call to touch_softlockup_watchdogDave C Boutcher
It turns out that we can't stop the watchdog from triggering here. If we touch the timer (which just uses the current jiffie value) before we enable interrupts, it does nothing because jiffies are not mass-updated until after we enable interrupts. If we touch the timer after we enable interrupts, its too late because the softlockup watchdog will already have triggered. The touch_softlockup_watchdog call removed below does nothing.

2006-02-07[PATCH] powerpc: IOMMU SG paranoiaJake Moilanen
This addresses two items, which are unlikely to be hit if we trust drivers. The first is moving a memory barrier below where the vmerged SG count is passed back, but before the list is set to end. If those instructions were reordered, there could be an issue in iommu_unmap_sg(). The second is making sure we terminate the list on the failure case of iommu_map_sg(). If a driver does not look at the failure return code, it could pass a ill-formed SG list to iommu_unmap_sg().

You can't boot a kdump kernel via OF, not reliably anyway, the kernel being at 32 MB conflicts with the zImage wrapper etc. and it blows up. It's trivial to check in prom_init though, and this is early enough that we can actually drop back to OF where a reset-all will get you going again, which is kinda nice.

2006-01-14[PATCH] powerpc: Recognize /chaos bridge on old pmacs as PCIPaul Mackerras
The first generation of PCI powermacs had a host bridge called /chaos which was for all intents and purposes a PCI host bridge, but has a device_type of "vci" in the device tree (presumably it's not really PCI at the hardware level or something). The OF parsing stuff in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_parse.c currently doesn't recognize it as a PCI bridge, which means that controlfb.c can't get its device addresses. This makes prom_parse.c recognize a device_type of "vci" as indicating a PCI host bridge. With this, controlfb works again.

Handle the ibm,suspend-me RTAS call specially. It needs to be wrapped in a set of synchronization hypervisor calls (H_Join). When the H_Join calls are made on all CPUs, the intent is that only one will return with H_Continue, meaning that he is the "last man standing". That CPU then issues the ibm,suspend-me call. What is interesting, of course, is that the CPU running when the rtas syscall is made, may NOT be the CPU that ultimately executes the ibm,suspend-me rtas call.

2006-01-14powerpc: Provide a suitable AT_PLATFORM valuePaul Mackerras
The glibc folks want to use AT_PLATFORM to select between possible alternative versions of shared libraries. This commit makes the kernel supply an AT_PLATFORM string that indicates what class of processor we are running on. Processors with the same set of user-level instructions and roughly the same instruction scheduling characteristics are given the same AT_PLATFORM value; for example, 821, 823 and 860 are all reported as "ppc823", and 7447, 7447A, 7448, 7450, 7451, 7455 are all called "ppc7450". The intention is that the AT_PLATFORM values match the values that gcc accepts for the -mcpu= option. For values which are numeric (e.g. -mcpu=750), "ppc" has been prepended. This also adds a PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE bit to the AT_HWCAP value and sets it for the 440 family and the Freescale 85xx family. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-01-13[PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACADavid Gibson
At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures. This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca. The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca address to a local variable for no particular reason.
