2007-05-09rename thread_info to stackRoman Zippel
This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about placing the thread_info structure. Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both current thread and task structure via a single pointer. It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g. ia64 could benefit.

2007-05-09Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

2007-05-09Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id - i386Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao
hard_smp_processor_id used to be just a macro that hard-coded hard_smp_processor_id to 0 in the non SMP case. When booting non SMP kernels on hardware where the boot ioapic id is not 0 this turns out to be a problem. This is happens frequently in the case of kdump and once in a great while in the case of real hardware. Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id in both UP and SMP kernels to fix this issue. Notice that hard_smp_processor_id is only used by SMP code or by code that works with apics so we do not need to handle the case when apics are not present and hard_smp_processor_id should never be called there.

2007-05-09Remove hardcoding of hard_smp_processor_id on UP systemsFernando Luis Vazquez Cao
With the advent of kdump, the assumption that the boot CPU when booting an UP kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore. The reason being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU. Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each architecture can provide its own implementation.

This was obstructing SLUB on PowerPC, which uses kmem_caches for its pagetables. So convert its pte level to use normal gfp pages (whereas pmd, pud and 64k-page pgd want partpages, so continue to use kmem_caches for pmd, pud and pgd).

2007-05-09[POWERPC] Introduce address space "slices"Benjamin Herrenschmidt
The basic issue is to be able to do what hugetlbfs does but with different page sizes for some other special filesystems; more specifically, my need is: - Huge pages - SPE local store mappings using 64K pages on a 4K base page size kernel on Cell - Some special 4K segments in 64K-page kernels for mapping a dodgy type of powerpc-specific infiniband hardware that requires 4K MMU mappings for various reasons I won't explain here. The main issues are: - To maintain/keep track of the page size per "segment" (as we can only have one page size per segment on powerpc, which are 256MB divisions of the address space). - To make sure special mappings stay within their allotted "segments" (including MAP_FIXED crap) - To make sure everybody else doesn't mmap/brk/grow_stack into a "segment" that is used for a special mapping Some of the necessary mechanisms to handle that were present in the hugetlbfs code, but mostly in ways not suitable for anything else. The patch relies on some changes to the generic get_unmapped_area() that just got merged. It still hijacks hugetlb callbacks here or there as the generic code hasn't been entirely cleaned up yet but that shouldn't be a problem. So what is a slice ? Well, I re-used the mechanism used formerly by our hugetlbfs implementation which divides the address space in "meta-segments" which I called "slices". The division is done using 256MB slices below 4G, and 1T slices above. Thus the address space is divided currently into 16 "low" slices and 16 "high" slices. (Special case: high slice 0 is the area between 4G and 1T). Doing so simplifies significantly the tracking of segments and avoids having to keep track of all the 256MB segments in the address space. While I used the "concepts" of hugetlbfs, I mostly re-implemented everything in a more generic way and "ported" hugetlbfs to it. Slices can have an associated page size, which is encoded in the mmu context and used by the SLB miss handler to set the segment sizes. The hash code currently doesn't care, it has a specific check for hugepages, though I might add a mechanism to provide per-slice hash mapping functions in the future. The slice code provide a pair of "generic" get_unmapped_area() (bottomup and topdown) functions that should work with any slice size. There is some trickiness here so I would appreciate people to have a look at the implementation of these and let me know if I got something wrong.

2007-05-09[POWERPC] Small fixes & cleanups in segment page size demotionBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The code for demoting segments to 4K had some issues, like for example, when using _PAGE_4K_PFN flag, the first CPU to hit it would do the demotion, but other CPUs hitting the same page wouldn't properly flush their SLBs if mmu_ci_restriction isn't set. There are also potential issues with hash_preload not handling _PAGE_4K_PFN. All of these are non issues on current hardware but might bite us in the future. This patch thus fixes it by: - Taking the test comparing the mm and current CPU context page sizes to decide to flush SLBs out of the mmu_ci_restrictions test since that can also be triggered by _PAGE_4K_PFN pages - Due to the above being done all the time, demote_segment_4k doesn't need update the context and flush the SLB - demote_segment_4k can be static and doesn't need an EXPORT_SYMBOL - Making hash_preload ignore anything that has either _PAGE_4K_PFN or _PAGE_NO_CACHE set, thus avoiding duplication of the complicated logic in hash_page() (and possibly making hash_preload a little bit faster for the normal case).

2007-05-09[POWERPC] iSeries: Make HVC_ISERIES the defaultStephen Rothwell
This makes the new iSeries virtual console drivers (nvc_iseries) the default and prevents viocons being built unless explicitly selected. Also it makes no sense to have the console as a module. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-05-09[POWERPC] Mark pages that don't exist as nosaveJohannes Berg
On some powerpc architectures (notably 64-bit powermac) there is a memory hole, for example on powermacs between 2G and 4G. Since we use the flat memory model regardless, these pages must be marked as nosave (for suspend to disk.)
