2008-12-02powerpc: Use physical cpu id when setting the processor affinityKumar Gala
In the CONFIG_SMP case the irq_choose_cpu() code was returning back a logical cpu id not the physical id. We were writing that directly into the HW register. We need to be calling get_hard_smp_processor_id() so irq_choose_cpu() always returns a physical cpu id.

2008-12-01powerpc/mpic: Don't reset affinity for secondary MPIC on bootArnd Bergmann
Kexec/kdump currently fails on the IBM QS2x blades when the kexec happens on a CPU other than the initial boot CPU. It turns out that this is the result of mpic_init trying to set affinity of each interrupt vector to the current boot CPU. As far as I can tell, the same problem is likely to exist on any secondary MPIC, because they have to deliver interrupts to the first output all the time. There are two potential solutions for this: either not set up affinity at all for secondary MPICs, or assume that a single CPU output is connected to the upstream interrupt controller and hardcode affinity to that per architecture. This patch implements the second approach, defaulting to the first output. Currently, all known secondary MPICs are routed to their upstream port using the first destination, so we hardcode that.

2008-10-31powerpc/mpic: Fix regression caused by change of default IRQ affinityKumar Gala
The Freescale implementation of MPIC only allows a single CPU destination for non-IPI interrupts. We add a flag to the mpic_init to distinquish these variants of MPIC. We pull in the irq_choose_cpu from sparc64 to select a single CPU as the destination of the interrupt. This is to deal with the fact that the default smp affinity was changed by commit 18404756765c713a0be4eb1082920c04822ce588 ("genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)") to be all CPUs.

2007-12-28[POWERPC] pasemi: Distribute interrupts evenly across cpusOlof Johansson
By default the OpenPIC on PWRficient will bias to one core (since that will improve changes of the other core being able to stay idle/powered down). However, this conflicts with most irq load balancing schemes, since setting an interrupt to be delivered to either core doesn't really result in the load being shared. It also doesn't work well with the soft irq disable feature of PPC, since EE will stay on until the first interrupt is taken while soft disabled. Set the gconf0 config bit that enables even distribution of interrupts among the two cores. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
2007-12-28[POWERPC] pasemi: Implement NMI supportOlof Johansson
Some PWRficient-based boards have a NMI button that's wired up to a GPIO as interrupt source. By configuring the openpic accordingly, these get delivered as a machine check with high priority, instead of as an external interrupt. The device tree contains a property "nmi-source" in the openpic node for these systems, and it's the (hwirq) source for the input. Also, for these interrupts, the IACK is read from another register than the regular (MCACK instead), but they are EOI'd as usual. So implement said function for the mpic driver. Finally, move a couple of external function defines to include/ instead of local under sysdev. Being able to mask/unmask and eoi directly saves us from setting up a dummy irq handler that will never be called. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
2007-12-20[POWERPC] pasemi: Implement MSI supportOlof Johansson
Implement MSI support for PA Semi PWRficient platforms. MSI is done through a special range of sources on the openpic controller, and they're unfortunately breaking the usual concepts of how sources are programmed: * The source is calculated as 512 + the value written into the MSI register * The vector for this source is added to the source and reported through IACK This means that for simplicity, it makes much more sense to just set the vector to 0 for the source, since that's really the vector we expect to see from IACK. Also, the affinity/priority registers will affect 16 sources at a time. To avoid most (simple) users from being limited by this, allocate 16 sources per device but use only one. This means that there's a total of 32 sources. If we get usage scenarions that need more sources, the allocator should probably be revised to take an alignment argument and size, not just do natural alignment. Finally, since I'm already touching the MPIC names on pasemi, rename the base one from the somewhat odd " PAS-OPIC " to "PASEMI-OPIC".

2007-10-15Add dcr_host_t.base in dcr_read()/dcr_write()Michael Ellerman
Now that all users of dcr_read()/dcr_write() add the dcr_host_t.base, we can save them the trouble and do it in dcr_read()/dcr_write(). As some background to why we just went through all this jiggery-pokery, benh sayeth: Initially the goal of the dcr_read/dcr_write routines was to operate like mfdcr/mtdcr which take absolute DCR numbers. The reason is that on 4xx hardware, indirect DCR access is a pain (goes through a table of instructions) and it's useful to have the compiler resolve an absolute DCR inline. We decided that wasn't worth the API bastardisation since most places where absolute DCR values are used are low level 4xx-only code which may as well continue using mfdcr/mtdcr, while the new API is designed for device "instances" that can exist on 4xx and Axon type platforms and may be located at variable DCR offsets.

2007-09-14[POWERPC] Add workaround for MPICs with broken register readsOlof Johansson
Some versions of PWRficient 1682M have an interrupt controller in which the first register in each pair for interrupt sources doesn't always read with the right polarity/sense values. To work around this, keep a software copy of the register instead. Since it's not modified from the mpic itself, it's a feasible solution. Still, keep it under a config option to avoid wasting memory on other platforms. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-07-22[POWERPC] MPIC protected sourcesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Some HW platforms, such as the new cell blades, requires some MPIC sources to be left alone by the operating system. This implements support for a "protected-sources" property in the mpic controller node containing a list of source numbers to be protected against operating system interference. For those interested in the gory details, the MPIC on the southbridge of those blades has some of the processor outputs routed to the cell, and at least one routed as a GPIO to the service processor. It will be used in the GA product for routing some of the southbridge error interrupts to the service processor which implements some of the RAS stuff, such as checkstopping when fatal errors occurs before they can propagate.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.
