Without this patch, on an idle system I get:
cpu-power-0:21.638
cpu-power-1:27.102
cpu-power-2:29.343
cpu-power-3:25.784
Total: 103.8W
With this patch:
cpu-power-0:11.730
cpu-power-1:17.185
cpu-power-2:18.547
cpu-power-3:17.528
Total: 65.0W
If I lower HZ to 100, I can get it as low as:
cpu-power-0:10.938
cpu-power-1:16.021
cpu-power-2:17.245
cpu-power-3:16.145
Total: 60.2W
Another (older) Quad G5 went from 54W to 39W at HZ=250.
Coming back out of Deep Nap takes 40-70 cycles longer than coming back
from just Nap (which already takes quite a while). I don't think it'll
be a performance issue (interrupt latency on an idle system), but in
case someone does measurements feel free to report them.

This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts. This means
that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
enabled' flag in the paca. If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
flag in the paca, and returns. This means that interrupts only
actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.
When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
interrupts got hard-disabled. If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.
This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.
This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw. This doesn't
yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
flags. This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

During boot we bring up all memory and cpu nodes. Normally a PCI device
will be in one of these online nodes, however in some weird setups it
may not.
We have only seen this in the lab but we may as well check for the case
and fallback to -1 (all nodes).

At the moment we rely on a cpu feature bit or a firmware property to
detect altivec. If we dont have either of these and the cpu does in fact

Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to
offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns). The unintended
impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead
of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. As a result, the
the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off.
The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses
symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using
arch-independent zone-sizing. Two users have successfully booted their
powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4). It has also been boot tested on x86,
x86_64, ppc64 and ia64. Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.

On the old "powersurge" SMP powermacs, the second CPU is started up
by sending it an IPI, which has the side effect of stopping the
timebase clock (so the secondary CPU's timebase can be synchronized
with the primary's). The routine that did this used udelay, which
will hang forever when the timebase is stopped, since udelay now spins
until the timebase reaches a certain value.
The end result is that the kernel would hang when bringing up the
second CPU. This fixes it by using a simple loop which just does a
fixed number of iterations to generate the delay. These old systems
were all clocked at around 200 MHz or so, so a fixed number of
iterations is acceptable.

The IDE driver will pick up the PCI IRQ for both channels on Maple
despite the fact that it's in legacy mode. This works around it by
"hiding" the PCI IRQ of the AMD8111 IDE controller when it's configured
in legacy mode on the Maple platform, thus causing the driver to call
pci_get_legacy_ide_irq() which will return the correct interrupts for
both channels.

Avoid the use of an uninitialized stack variable when the powerpc device tree
bootargs property is either missing or incorrectly defined. This also makes
CONFIG_CMDLINE work properly under these conditions. This change adds a test
for the existence of the bootargs property.
early_init_dt_scan_chosen() tests for a zero length bootargs property in its
CONFIG_CMDLINE processing, but the current implementation of
of_get_flat_dt_prop() doesn't assign a value to the length when no property is
found. Since an automatic variable is used, a stale value from the stack will
be used in the test.

This patch adds checking of the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN register before
using standard OF parsing to retreive PCI interrupts. The reason is
that some PCI devices may have no PCI interrupt, though they may have
interrupts attached via other means. In this case, we shall not use
irq->pdev, but device-specific code can later retreive those interrupts
instead.
Without that patch, Maple and derivatives don't get the right interrupt
for the second IDE channel as the linux IDE code fallsback to the PCI
irq instead of trying to use the legacy ones for the on-board controller
(which has no PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN). Having no PCI IRQ assign to it (as it
doesn't request any) fixes it.

The "linux,tce-size" property is only 32 bits (see
prom_initialize_tce_table() in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c).
Treating it as an unsigned long in iommu_table_setparms() leads to
access beyond the end of the property's buffer, so we pass garbage to

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.

This adds an 'object-id' file that the spe library can
use to store a pointer to its ELF object. This was
originally meant for use by oprofile, but is now
also used by the GNU debugger, if available.
In order for oprofile to find the location in an spu-elf
binary where an event counter triggered, we need a way
to identify the binary in the first place.
Unfortunately, that binary itself can be embedded in a
powerpc ELF binary. Since we can assume it is mapped into
the effective address space of the running process,
have that one write the pointer value into a new spufs
file.
When a context switch occurs, pass the user value to
the profiler so that can look at the mapped file (with
some care).

The properties we used traditionally in the device tree are somewhat
nonstandard. This adds support for a more conventional format using
'interrupts' and 'reg' properties.
The interrupts are specified in three cells (class 0, 1 and 2) and
registered at the interrupt-parent.
The reg property contains either three or four register areas in the
order 'local-store', 'problem', 'priv2', and 'priv1', so the priv1 one
can be left out in case of hypervisor driven systems that access these
through hcalls.

Since libspe2 will provide a function that can read/write
multiple mailbox elements at once, the kernel should handle
that efficiently.
read/write on the three mailbox files can now access the
spe context multiple times to operate on any number of
mailbox data elements.
If the spu application keeps writing to its outbound
mailbox, the read call will pick up all the data in a
single system call.
Unfortunately, if the user passes an invalid pointer,
we may lose a mailbox element on read, since we can't
put it back. This probably impossible to solve, if the
user also accesses the mailbox through direct register
access.

This hopefully fixes a long-standing bug in the spu file system.
An spu context comes with local memory that can be either saved
in kernel pages or point directly to a physical SPE.
When mapping the physical SPE, that mapping needs to be cache-inhibited.
For simplicity, we used to map the kernel backing memory that way
too, but unfortunately that was not only inefficient, but also incorrect
because the same page could then be accessed simultaneously through
a cacheable and a cache-inhibited mapping, which is not allowed
by the powerpc specification and in our case caused data inconsistency
for which we did a really ugly workaround in user space.
