Using perf to trace L1 dcache misses and dumping data addresses I found a few
variables taking a lot of misses. Since they are almost never written, they
should go into the __read_mostly section.

Prior to the arch/ppc -> arch/powerpc transition, xmon had support for single
stepping on 4xx boards. The functionality was lost when arch/ppc was removed.
This patch restores single step support for 44x boards, and Book-E in general.

The xmon code relies on MSR_RI being non-zero to indicate that an exception
is recoverable. If it is not, it prints a warning message. However, the
PowerPC 4xx cores do not have an MSR_RI bit and this warning is produced for
every xmon event.
This introduces an unrecoverable_excp function to determine if an exception
is recoverable or not. This gets rid of the erroneous warnings on 4xx.

Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.
The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.
The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.
The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.
It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

Hello All,
Quite a while back Michael Ellerman had posted a patch to add support to xmon to print the contents of the console log pointed to by __log_buf.
Here's the link to that patch - http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc64-dev/2005-March/003657.html
I've ported the patch in the above link to 2.6.30-rc5 and have tested it.
Thanks & regards,

According to the CBEA, the SPU dsisr is not updated for class 0
exceptions.
spu_stopped() is testing the dsisr that was passed to it from the class
0 exception handler, so we return a false positive here.
This patch cleans up the interrupt handler and erroneous tests in
spu_stopped. It also removes the fields from the csa since it is not
needed to process class 0 events.

This adds a bit more detail to the xmon SLB output. When the valid
bit is set, this displays the ESID and VSID values, as well as
decoding the segment size -- 1T or 256M -- and displaying the LLP
bits. This supresses the output for any slb entries that contain only
zeros.
sample output from power6 (1T segment support):

Currently we hardwire the number of SLBs to 64, but PAPR says we
should use the ibm,slb-size property to obtain the number of SLB
entries. This uses this property instead of assuming 64. If no
property is found, we assume 64 entries as before.
This soft patches the SLB handler, so it shouldn't change performance
at all.

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.

While adding spu disassembly support it struck me that we're actually
carrying quite a lot of code around, just to do disassembly in the case
of a crash.
While on large systems it's not an issue, on smaller ones it might be
nice to have xmon - but without the weight of the disassembly support.
For a Cell build this saves ~230KB (!), and for pSeries ~195KB.
We still support the 'di' and 'sdi' commands, however they just dump
the instruction in hex.

In order to do disassembly of spu binaries in xmon, we need to abstract
the disassembly function from ppc_inst_dump.
We do this by making the actual disassembly function a function pointer
that we pass to ppc_inst_dump(). To save updating all the callers, we
turn ppc_inst_dump() into generic_inst_dump() and make ppc_inst_dump()
a wrapper which always uses print_insn_powerpc().
Currently we pass the dialect into print_insn_powerpc(), but we always
pass 0 - so just make it a local.

Add a command to xmon to dump the memory of a spu's local store.
This mimics the 'd' command which dumps regular memory, but does
a little hand holding by taking the user supplied address and
finding that offset in the local store for the specified spu.
This makes it easy for example to look at what was executing on a spu:
1:mon> ss
...
Stopped spu 04 (was running)
...
1:mon> sf 4
Dumping spu fields at address c0000000019e0a00:
...
problem->spu_npc_RW = 0x228
...
1:mon> sd 4 0x228
d000080080318228 01a00c021cffc408 4020007f217ff488 |........@ ..!...|
Aha, 01a00c02, which is of course rdch $2,$ch24 !
--
Updated to only do the setjmp goo around the spu access, and not
around prdump because it does its own (via mread).
Also the num variable is now common between sf and sd, so you don't
have to keep typing the spu number in if you're repeating commands
on the same spu.

This patch adds a command to xmon for dumping information about
spu structs. The command is 'sf' for "spu fields" perhaps, and
takes the spu number as an argument. This is the same value as the
spu->number field, or the "phys-id" value of a context when it is
bound to a physical spu.
We try to catch memory errors as we dump each field, hopefully this
will make the command reasonably robust, but YMMV. If people see a
need we can easily add more fields to the dump in future.
Output looks something like this:

This patch adds support for stopping, and restarting, spus
from xmon. We use the spu master runcntl bit to stop execution,
this is apparently the "right" way to control spu execution and
spufs will be changed in the future to use this bit.
Testing has shown that to restart execution we have to turn the
master runcntl bit on and also rewrite the spu runcntl bit, even
if it is already set to 1 (running).
Stopping spus is triggered by the xmon command 'ss' - "spus stop"
perhaps. Restarting them is triggered via 'sr'. Restart doesn't
start execution on spus unless they were running prior to being
stopped by xmon.
Walking the spu->full_list in xmon after a panic, would mean
corruption of any spu struct would make all the others
inaccessible. To avoid this, and also to make the next patch
easier, we cache pointers to all spus during boot.
We attempt to catch and recover from errors while stopping and
restarting the spus, but as with most xmon functionality there are
no guarantees that performing these operations won't crash xmon
itself.

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.

Currently, if xmon has no input device (as is generally the case on
G5 powermacs), and we drop into xmon as a result of a fatal exception,
it will return 1, which die() interprets as "continue without causing
an oops". This fixes it by making xmon() return 0 in the case where
it has no input device.
