2006-01-10[PATCH] Kdump: powerpc and s390 build failure fixakpm@osdl.org
) From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> crash_setup_regs() is an architecture dependent function which is called in architecture independent section. So every architecture supporting kexec should at least provide a dummy definition of crash_setup_regs() even if crash dumping is not implemented yet, to avoid build failures.

2006-01-10[PATCH] kdump: dynamic per cpu allocation of memory for saving cpu registersVivek Goyal
- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory in elf note format. So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated statically for NR_CPUS. - This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes. It uses alloc_percpu() interface. This should lead to better memory usage. - Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions. - This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture dependent portion to architecture independent portion. Now crash_notes is architecture independent. The whole idea is that size of memory to be allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.

2006-01-09[PATCH] mutex subsystem, add default include/asm-*/mutex.h filesArjan van de Ven
add the per-arch mutex.h files for the remaining architectures. We default to asm-generic/mutex-dec.h, because that performs quite well on most arches. Arches that do not have atomic decrement/increment instructions should switch to mutex-xchg.h instead. Arches can also provide their own implementation for the mutex fastpath primitives.

2006-01-09[PATCH] 3/5 powerpc: Add platform functions interpreterBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This is the platform function interpreter itself along with the backends for UniN/U3/U4, mac-io, GPIOs and i2c. It adds the ability to execute those do-platform-* scripts in the device-tree (at least for most devices for which a backend is provided). This should replace the clock spreading hacks properly. It might also have an impact on all sort of machines since some of the scripts marked "at init" will now be executed on boot (or some other on sleep/wakeup), those will possibly do things that the kernel didn't do at all, like setting some values into some i2c devices (changing thermal sensor calibration or conversion rate) etc... Thus regression testing is MUCH welcome. Also loook for errors in dmesg. That's also why I've left rather verbose debugging enabled in this version of the patch. (I do expect some Windtunnel G4s to show some errors as they have an i2c clock chip on the PMU bus that uses some primitives that the i2c backend doesn't implement yet. I really need users that have one of those machine to come back to me so we can get that done right, though the errors themselves should be harmless, I suspect the machine might not run at full speed).

2006-01-09[PATCH] 2/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 2Benjamin Herrenschmidt
This is the continuation of the previous patch. This one removes the old PowerMac i2c drivers (i2c-keywest and i2c-pmac-smu) and replaces them both with a single stub driver that uses the new PowerMac low i2c layer. Now that i2c-keywest is gone, the low-i2c code is extended to support interrupt driver transfers. All i2c busses now appear as platform devices. Compatibility with existing drivers should be maintained as the i2c bus names have been kept identical, except for the SMU bus but in that later case, all users has been fixed. With that patch added, matching a device node to an i2c_adapter becomes trivial. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-09[PATCH] 1/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 1Benjamin Herrenschmidt
This is the first part of a rework of the PowerMac i2c code. It completely reworks the "low_i2c" layer. It is now more flexible, supports KeyWest, SMU and PMU i2c busses, and provides functions to match device nodes to i2c busses and adapters. This patch also extends & fix some bugs in the SMU driver related to i2c support and removes the clock spreading hacks from the pmac feature code rather than adapting them to the new API since they'll be replaced by the platform function code completely in patch 3/5 Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: set irq affinity for running threadsArnd Bergmann
For far, all SPU triggered interrupts always end up on the first SMT thread, which is a bad solution. This patch implements setting the affinity to the CPU that was running last when entering execution on an SPU.

2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: abstract priv1 register access.Arnd Bergmann
In a hypervisor based setup, direct access to the first priviledged register space can typically not be allowed to the kernel and has to be implemented through hypervisor calls. As suggested by Masato Noguchi, let's abstract the register access trough a number of function calls. Since there is currently no public specification of actual hypervisor calls to implement this, I only provide a place that makes it easier to hook into.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Replace VMALLOCBASE with VMALLOC_STARTDavid Gibson
On ppc64, we independently define VMALLOCBASE and VMALLOC_START to be the same thing: the start of the vmalloc() area at 0xd000000000000000. VMALLOC_START is used much more widely, including in generic code, so this patch gets rid of the extraneous VMALLOCBASE. This does require moving the definitions of region IDs from page_64.h to pgtable.h, but they don't clearly belong in the former rather than the latter, anyway. While we're moving them, clean up the definitions of the REGION_IDs: - Abolish REGION_SIZE, it was only used once, to define REGION_MASK anyway - Define the specific region ids in terms of the REGION_ID() macro. - Define KERNEL_REGION_ID in terms of PAGE_OFFSET rather than KERNELBASE. It amounts to the same thing, but conceptually this is about the region of the linear mapping (which starts at PAGE_OFFSET) rather than of the kernel text itself (which is at KERNELBASE).

2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability [part 2].Arnd Bergmann
This patch reduces lock complexity of SPU scheduler, particularly for involuntary preemptive switches. As a result the new code does a better job of mapping the highest priority tasks to SPUs. Lock complexity is reduced by using the system default workqueue to perform involuntary saves. In this way we avoid nasty lock ordering problems that the previous code had. A "minimum timeslice" for SPU contexts is also introduced. The intent here is to avoid thrashing. While the new scheduler does a better job at prioritization it still does nothing for fairness.

As part of this restructuring, the control logic for the "run" operation is moved from arch/ppc64/kernel/spu_base.c to fs/spufs/file.c. Of course the base retains "bottom half" handlers for class{0,1} irqs. The new run loop will re-acquire an SPU if preempted.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Fixups for kernel linked at 32 MBMichael Ellerman
There's a few places where we need to fix things up for the kernel to work if it's linked at 32MB: - platforms/powermac/smp.c To start secondary cpus on pmac we patch the reset vector, which is fine. Except if we're above 32MB we don't have enough bits for an absolute branch, it needs to relative. - kernel/head_64.s - A few branches in the cpu hold code need to load the full target address and do a bctr. - after_prom_start needs to load PHYSICAL_START as the dest address, not 0. - The exception prolog needs to load the low word of the target adddress, not just the low halfword. - Fixup handling of the initial stab address. - kernel/setup_64.c smp_release_cpus() needs to write 1 to the spinloop flag near 0, not 32 MB.

This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries. This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1 gazillion for 64-bit. To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET, _not_ KERNELBASE. KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_.
