2009-09-04sparc64: Fix bootup with mcount in some configs.David S. Miller
Functions invoked early when booting up a cpu can't use tracing because mcount requires a valid 'current_thread_info()' and TLB mappings to be setup. The code path of sun4v_register_mondo_queues --> register_one_mondo is one such case. sun4v_register_mondo_queues already has the necessary 'notrace' annotation, but register_one_mondo does not. Normally register_one_mondo is inlined so the bug doesn't trigger, but with some config/compiler combinations, it won't be so we must properly mark it notrace. While we're here, add 'notrace' annoations to prom_printf and prom_halt so that early error handling won't have the same problem.

2009-09-03sparc64: Kill spurious NMI watchdog triggers by increasing limit to 30 seconds.David S. Miller
This is a compromise and a temporary workaround for bootup NMI watchdog triggers some people see with qla2xxx devices present. This happens when, for example: CPU 0 is in the driver init and looping submitting mailbox commands to load the firmware, then waiting for completion. CPU 1 is receiving the device interrupts. CPU 1 is where the NMI watchdog triggers. CPU 0 is submitting mailbox commands fast enough that by the time CPU 1 returns from the device interrupt handler, a new one is pending. This sequence runs for more than 5 seconds. The problematic case is CPU 1's timer interrupt running when the barrage of device interrupts begin. Then we have: timer interrupt return for softirq checking pending, thus enable interrupts qla2xxx interrupt return qla2xxx interrupt return ... 5+ seconds pass final qla2xxx interrupt for fw load return run timer softirq return At some point in the multi-second qla2xxx interrupt storm we trigger the NMI watchdog on CPU 1 from the NMI interrupt handler. The timer softirq, once we get back to running it, is smart enough to run the timer work enough times to make up for the missed timer interrupts. However, the NMI watchdogs (both x86 and sparc) use the timer interrupt count to notice the cpu is wedged. But in the above scenerio we'll receive only one such timer interrupt even if we last all the way back to running the timer softirq. The default watchdog trigger point is only 5 seconds, which is pretty low (the softwatchdog triggers at 60 seconds). So increase it to 30 seconds for now. Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-08-25sparc64: Validate linear D-TLB misses.David S. Miller
When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses. But with kgdb, kernel address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary crap. So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory that actually exists. In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates "I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges. The result of this is that: 1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size 2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such. If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu will be out of trap levels and enter RED state. To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an unnecessary extra memory reference. On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks in the TLB miss path.

2009-08-18sparc32: Kill trap table freeing code.David S. Miller
Normally, srmmu uses different trap table register values to allow determination of the cpu we're on. All of the trap tables have identical content, they just sit at different offsets from the first trap table, and the offset shifted down and masked out determines the cpu we are on. The code tries to free them up when they aren't actually used (don't have all 4 cpus, we're on sun4d, etc.) but that causes problems. For one thing it triggers false positives in the DMA debugging code. And fixing that up while preserving this relative offset thing isn't trivial. So just kill the freeing code, it costs us at most 3 pages, big deal... Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-08-14percpu, sparc64: fix sparse possible cpu map handlingTejun Heo
percpu code has been assuming num_possible_cpus() == nr_cpu_ids which is incorrect if cpu_possible_map contains holes. This causes percpu code to access beyond allocated memories and vmalloc areas. On a sparc64 machine with cpus 0 and 2 (u60), this triggers the following warning or fails boot.

2009-07-27mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb() Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works. Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted, we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions. The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

2009-06-16sparc64: fix and optimize irq distributionHong H. Pham
irq_choose_cpu() should compare the affinity mask against cpu_online_map rather than CPU_MASK_ALL, since irq_select_affinity() sets the interrupt's affinity mask to cpu_online_map "and" CPU_MASK_ALL (which ends up being just cpu_online_map). The mask comparison in irq_choose_cpu() will always fail since the two masks are not the same. So the CPU chosen is the first CPU in the intersection of cpu_online_map and CPU_MASK_ALL, which is always CPU0. That means all interrupts are reassigned to CPU0... Distributing interrupts to CPUs in a linearly increasing round robin fashion is not optimal for the UltraSPARC T1/T2. Also, the irq_rover in irq_choose_cpu() causes an interrupt to be assigned to a different processor each time the interrupt is allocated and released. This may lead to an unbalanced distribution over time. A static mapping of interrupts to processors is done to optimize and balance interrupt distribution. For the T1/T2, interrupts are spread to different cores first, and then to strands within a core. The following is some benchmarks showing the effects of interrupt distribution on a T2. The test was done with iperf using a pair of T5220 boxes, each with a 10GBe NIU (XAUI) connected back to back.

2009-06-16sparc64: Only allocate per-cpu areas for possible cpus.David S. Miller
This gets us real close to the generic implementation of setup_per_cpu_areas() except: 1) We store the per-cpu offset into the trap_block[], whereas the generic code has it's own static array. 2) We have to initialize the %g5 register to hold the boot cpu's per-cpu area offset. 3) The OBP/MDESC cpu info scan is performed at the end.

2009-06-16sparc64: Get rid of real_setup_per_cpu_areas().David S. Miller
Now that we defer the cpu_data() initializations to the end of per-cpu setup, we can get rid of this local hack we had to setup the per-cpu areas eary. This is a necessary step in order to support HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA since the per-cpu setup must run when page structs are available. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-06-16sparc: Call OF and MD cpu scanning explicitly from paging_init()David S. Miller
We need to split up the cpu present mask setup from the cpu_data initialization, and this is a first step towards that. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
