2006-12-04[POWERPC] Cell iommu supportJeremy Kerr
This patch adds full cell iommu support (and iommu disabled mode). It implements mapping/unmapping of iommu pages on demand using the standard powerpc iommu framework. It also supports running with iommu disabled for machines with less than 2GB of memory. (The default is off in that case, though it can be forced on with the kernel command line option iommu=force).

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Make cell use direct DMA opsBenjamin Herrenschmidt

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Make direct DMA use node local allocationsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch makes dma_alloc_coherent() use node local allocation when using the direct DMA ops. The node is obtained from the new device extension. If no such extension is present, the current node is used. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-12-04[POWERPC] Add an optional offset to direct DMA on 64 bitsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch adds an optional global offset that can be added to DMA addresses when using the direct DMA operations. That brings it a step closer to the 32 bits direct DMA operations, and makes it useable on Cell when the MMU is disabled and we are using a spider southbridge.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Cell "Spider" MMIO workaroundsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch implements a workaround for a Spider PCI host bridge bug where it doesn't enforce some of the PCI ordering rules unless some manual manipulation of a special register is done. In order to be fully compliant with the PCI spec, I do this on every MMIO read operation.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Allow hooking of PCI MMIO & PIO accessors on 64 bitsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch reworks the way iSeries hooks on PCI IO operations (both MMIO and PIO) and provides a generic way for other platforms to do so (we have need to do that for various other platforms). While reworking the IO ops, I ended up doing some spring cleaning in io.h and eeh.h which I might want to split into 2 or 3 patches (among others, eeh.h had a lot of useless stuff in it). A side effect is that EEH for PIO should work now (it used to pass IO ports down to the eeh address check functions which is bogus). Also, new are MMIO "repeat" ops, which other archs like ARM already had, and that we have too now: readsb, readsw, readsl, writesb, writesw, writesl. In the long run, I might also make EEH use the hooks instead of wrapping at the toplevel, which would make things even cleaner and relegate EEH completely in platforms/iseries, but we have to measure the performance impact there (though it's really only on MMIO reads) Since I also need to hook on ioremap, I shuffled the functions a bit there. I introduced ioremap_flags() to use by drivers who want to pass explicit flags to ioremap (and it can be hooked). The old __ioremap() is still there as a low level and cannot be hooked, thus drivers who use it should migrate unless they know they want the low level version. The patch "arch provides generic iomap missing accessors" (should be number 4 in this series) is a pre-requisite to provide full iomap API support with this patch.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Cell fixup DMA offset for new southbridgeBenjamin Herrenschmidt

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Generic OF platform driver for PCI host bridges.Benjamin Herrenschmidt
When enabled in Kconfig, it will pick up any of_platform_device matching it's match list (currently type "pci", "pcix", "pcie", or "ht" and setup a PHB for it. Platform must provide a ppc_md.pci_setup_phb() for it to work (for doing the necessary initialisations specific to a given PHB like setting up the config space ops). It's currently only available on 64 bits as the 32 bits PCI code can't quite cope with it in it's current form. I will fix that later.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Add "parent" struct device for PCI host bridgesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Add a "parent" struct device to our PCI host bridge data structure so that PCI can be rooted off another device in sysfs. Note that arch/ppc doesn't use it, only arch/powerpc, though it's available for both 32 and 64 bits.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Resolve the BUID for RTAS PCI config space accessesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The BUID is the first entry of a PCI host bridge "reg" property. Now that PCI busses can be anywhere in the device-tree, we need to fully translate the value there to a CPU physical address before we can use it with RTAS.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Resolve the parent address of a PCI bus rangeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
When parsing the OF "ranges" properties of PCI host busses to determine the mapping of a PCI bus, we need to translate the "parent" address using the prom_parse.c routines in order to obtain a CPU physical address. This wasn't necessary while PCI busses were always at the root of the device-tree but this is no longer the case on Cell where they can be anywhere in the tree.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Add DMA ops support for of_platform_device to CellBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch adds a bus device notifier to the of_platform bus type on cell to setup the DMA operations for of_platform_devices.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Refactor 64 bits DMA operationsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch completely refactors DMA operations for 64 bits powerpc. 32 bits is untouched for now. We use the new dev_archdata structure to add the dma operations pointer and associated data to struct device. While at it, we also add the OF node pointer and numa node. In the future, we might want to look into merging that with pci_dn as well. The old vio, pci-iommu and pci-direct DMA ops are gone. They are now replaced by a set of generic iommu and direct DMA ops (non PCI specific) that can be used by bus types. The toplevel implementation is now inline.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Souped-up of_platform_device supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch first splits of_device.c and of_platform.c, the later containing the bits relative to of_platform_device's. On the "breaks" side of things, drivers uisng of_platform_device(s) need to include asm/of_platform.h now and of_(un)register_driver is now of_(un)register_platform_driver. In addition to a few utility functions to locate of_platform_device(s), the main new addition is of_platform_bus_probe() which allows the platform code to trigger an automatic creation of of_platform_devices for a whole tree of devices. The function acts based on the type of the various "parent" devices encountered from a provided root, using either a default known list of bus types that can be "probed" or a passed-in list. It will only register devices on busses matching that list, which mean that typically, it will not register PCI devices, as expected (since they will be picked up by the PCI layer). This will be used by Cell platforms using 4xx-type IOs in the Axon bridge and can be used by any embedded-type device as well.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Improve MPIC driver auto-configuration from DTBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch applies on top of the MPIC DCR support. It makes the MPIC driver capable of a lot more auto-configuration based on the device-tree, for example, it can retreive it's own physical address if not passed as an argument, find out if it's DCR or MMIO mapped, and set the BIG_ENDIAN flag automatically in the presence of a "big-endian" property in the device-tree node.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Support for DCR based MPICBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch implements support for DCR based MPIC implementations. Such implementations have the MPIC_USES_DCR flag set and don't use the phys_addr argument of mpic_alloc (they require a valid dcr mapping in the device node) This version of the patch can use a little bif of cleanup still (I can probably consolidate rb->dbase/doff, at least once I'm sure on how the hardware is actually supposed to work vs. possible simulator issues) and it should be possible to build a DCR-only version of the driver. I need to cleanup a bit the CONFIG_* handling for that and probably introduce CONFIG_MPIC_MMIO and CONFIG_MPIC_DCR.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Remove ppc_md.pci_map_irq & ppc_swizzle for ARCH=powerpcBenjamin Herrenschmidt
These were inherited from ARCH=ppc, but are not needed since parsing of interrupts should be done via the of_* functions (who can do swizzling). If we ever need to do non-standard swizzling on bridges without a device-node, then we might add back a slightly different version of ppc_md.pci_swizzle but for now, that is not the case. I removed the couple of calls for these in 83xx. If that breaks something, then there is a problem with the device-tree on these.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Make pci_read_irq_line the defaultBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch reworks the way IRQs are fixed up on PCI for arch powerpc. It makes pci_read_irq_line() called by default in the PCI code for devices that are probed, and add an optional per-device fixup in ppc_md for platforms that really need to correct what they obtain from pci_read_irq_line(). It also removes ppc_md.irq_bus_setup which was only used by pSeries and should not be needed anymore. I've also removed the pSeries s7a workaround as it can't work with the current interrupt code anyway. I'm trying to get one of these machines working so I can test a proper fix for that problem. I also haven't updated the old-style fixup code from 85xx_cds.c because it's actually buggy :) It assigns pci_dev->irq hard coded numbers which is no good with the new IRQ mapping code. It should at least use irq_create_mapping(NULL, hard_coded_number); and possibly also set_irq_type() to set them as level low.

2006-11-14[PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset tooHugh Dickins
(David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.

2006-11-10[POWERPC] pseries: Force 4k update_flash block and list sizesJohn Rose
The enablement of 64k pages on pseries platforms exposed a bug in the RTAS mechanism for updating firmware. RTAS assumes 4k for flash block and list sizes, and use of any other sizes results in a failure, even though PAPR does not specify any such requirement. This patch changes the rtas_flash module to force the use of 4k memory block and list sizes when preparing and sending a firmware image to RTAS. The rtas_flash function now uses a slab cache of 4k blocks with 4k alignment, rather than get_zeroed_page(), to allocate the memory for the flash blocks and lists.

2006-11-01[POWERPC] Make alignment exception always check exception tableBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The alignment exception used to only check the exception table for -EFAULT, not for other errors. That opens an oops window if we can coerce the kernel into getting an alignment exception for other reasons in what would normally be a user-protected accessor, which can be done via some of the futex ops. This fixes it by always checking the exception tables. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-11-01[POWERPC] Disallow kprobes on emulate_step and branch_takenGui,Jian
On powerpc, probing on emulate_step function will crash 2.6.18.1 when it is triggered. When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and will cause recursive kprobe fault. And branch_taken() is called in emulate_step(). This disallows kprobes on both of them. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
