2006-07-31[PATCH] powermac: More powermac backlight fixesMichael Hanselmann
This patch fixes several problems: - The legacy backlight value might be set at interrupt time. Introduced a worker to prevent it from directly calling the backlight code. - via-pmu allows the backlight to be grabbed, in which case we need to prevent other kernel code from changing the brightness. - Don't send PMU requests in via-pmu-backlight when the machine is about to sleep or waking up. - More Kconfig fixes.

2006-07-31[PATCH] IA64: kprobe invalidate icache of jump bufferbibo, mao
Kprobe inserts breakpoint instruction in probepoint and then jumps to instruction slot when breakpoint is hit, the instruction slot icache must be consistent with dcache. Here is the patch which invalidates instruction slot icache area. Without this patch, in some machines there will be fault when executing instruction slot where icache content is inconsistent with dcache.

2006-07-14[PATCH] remove set_wmb - arch removalSteven Rostedt
set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the code more and has no benefit. Since it is not currently used in the kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it. All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); } while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead. But this is still moot since it is not used anyway. Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled tested) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-07-10[PATCH] powermac: Combined fixes for backlight codeMichael Hanselmann
This patch fixes several problems: - pmac_backlight_key() is called under interrupt context, and therefore can't use mutexes or semaphores, so defer the backlight level for later, as it's not critical (original code by Aristeu S. Rozanski F. <aris@valeta.org>). - Add exports for functions that might be called from modules - Fix Kconfig depdencies on PMAC_BACKLIGHT. - Fix locking issues on calls from inside the driver (reported by Aristeu S. Rozanski F., too) - Fix wrong calculation of backlight values in some of the drivers - Replace pmac_backlight_key_up/down by inline functions [akpm@osdl.org: fix function prototypes] Signed-off-by: Michael Hanselmann <linux-kernel@hansmi.ch> Acked-by: Aristeu S.

2006-07-10[PATCH] powerpc: fix trigger handling in the new irq codeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch slightly reworks the new irq code to fix a small design error. I removed the passing of the trigger to the map() calls entirely, it was not a good idea to have one call do two different things. It also fixes a couple of corner cases. Mapping a linux virtual irq to a physical irq now does only that. Setting the trigger is a different action which has a different call. The main changes are: - I no longer call host->ops->map() for an already mapped irq, I just return the virtual number that was already mapped. It was called before to give an opportunity to change the trigger, but that was causing issues as that could happen while the interrupt was in use by a device, and because of the trigger change, map would potentially muck around with things in a racy way. That was causing much burden on a given's controller implementation of map() to get it right. This is much simpler now. map() is only called on the initial mapping of an irq, meaning that you know that this irq is _not_ being used. You can initialize the hardware if you want (though you don't have to). - Controllers that can handle different type of triggers (level/edge/etc...) now implement the standard irq_chip->set_type() call as defined by the generic code. That means that you can use the standard set_irq_type() to configure an irq line manually if you wish or (though I don't like that interface), pass explicit trigger flags to request_irq() as defined by the generic kernel interfaces. Also, using those interfaces guarantees that your controller set_type callback is called with the descriptor lock held, thus providing locking against activity on the same interrupt (including mask/unmask/etc...) automatically. A result is that, for example, MPIC's own map() implementation calls irq_set_type(NONE) to configure the hardware to the default triggers. - To allow the above, the irq_map array entry for the new mapped interrupt is now set before map() callback is called for the controller. - The irq_create_of_mapping() (also used by irq_of_parse_and_map()) function for mapping interrupts from the device-tree now also call the separate set_irq_type(), and only does so if there is a change in the trigger type. - While I was at it, I changed pci_read_irq_line() (which is the helper I would expect most archs to use in their pcibios_fixup() to get the PCI interrupt routing from the device tree) to also handle a fallback when the DT mapping fails consisting of reading the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN to know wether the device has an interrupt at all, and the the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE to get an interrupt number from the device. That number is then mapped using the default controller, and the trigger is set to level low. That default behaviour works for several platforms that don't have a proper interrupt tree like Pegasos. If it doesn't work for your platform, then either provide a proper interrupt tree from the firmware so that fallback isn't needed, or don't call pci_read_irq_line() - Add back a bit that got dropped by my main rework patch for properly clearing pending IPIs on pSeries when using a kexec Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-07-03[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use itBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one. Because there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus), etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later in bisecting). This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the new code now. For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match any device node that isn't a 8259. That works fine on pSeries and avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees. The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node (including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't have a proper interrupt tree.

2006-06-29[AF_UNIX]: Datagram getpeersecCatherine Zhang
This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg. Patch purpose: This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket. The application can then use this security context to determine the security context for processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet. Patch design and implementation: The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET sockets. Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for retrieving user credentials. Linux offers the API for obtaining user credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages that are bundled together with a normal message). To retrieve the security context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt. Then the application retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism. An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this: toggle = 1; toggle_len = sizeof(toggle); setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len); recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0); if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) { cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr); if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) && cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET && cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) { memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext)); } } sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow a server socket to receive security context of the peer. Testing: We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server applications. We verified that the server can retrieve the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

2006-06-29[PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chipIngo Molnar
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing functionality. While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is the new 'irq chip' abstraction. The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow" (level/edge/etc.) type of details. This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details. The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design. As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well. The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code and more consolidation between architectures. We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset. This patch: rename desc->handler to desc->chip. Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it truly is. I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke frequently. So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel. This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

2006-06-28[POWERPC] Add the use of the firmware soft-reset-nmi to kdump.David Wilder
With this patch, kdump uses the firmware soft-reset NMI for two purposes: 1) Initiate the kdump (take a crash dump) by issuing a soft-reset. 2) Break a CPU out of a deadlock condition that is detected during kdump processing. When a soft-reset is initiated each CPU will enter system_reset_exception() and set its corresponding bit in the global bit-array cpus_in_sr then call die(). When die() finds the CPU's bit set in cpu_in_sr crash_kexec() is called to initiate a crash dump. The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() is called the "crashing CPU". All other CPUs are "secondary CPUs". The secondary CPU's pass through to crash_kexec_secondary() and sleep. The crashing CPU waits for all CPUs to enter via soft-reset then boots the kdump kernel (see crash_soft_reset_check()) When the system crashes due to a panic or exception, crash_kexec() is called by panic() or die(). The crashing CPU sends an IPI to all other CPUs to notify them of the pending shutdown. If a CPU is in a deadlock or hung state with interrupts disabled, the IPI will not be delivered. The result being, that the kdump kernel is not booted. This problem is solved with the use of a firmware generated soft-reset. After the crashing_cpu has issued the IPI, it waits for 10 sec for all CPUs to enter crash_ipi_callback(). A CPU signifies its entry to crash_ipi_callback() by setting its corresponding bit in the cpus_in_crash bit array. After 10 sec, if one or more CPUs have not set their bit in cpus_in_crash we assume that the CPU(s) is deadlocked. The operator is then prompted to generate a soft-reset to break the deadlock. Each CPU enters the soft reset handler as described above. Two conditions must be handled at this point: 1) The system crashed because the operator generated a soft-reset. See 2) The system had crashed before the soft-reset was generated ( in the case of a Panic or oops). The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() uses the state of the kexec_lock to determine this state. If kexec_lock is already held then condition 2 is true and crash_kexec_secondary() is called, else; this CPU is flagged as the crashing CPU, the kexec_lock is acquired and crash_kexec() proceeds as described above. Each additional CPUs responding to the soft-reset will pass through crash_kexec() to kexec_secondary(). All secondary CPUs call crash_ipi_callback() readying them self's for the shutdown. When ready they clear their bit in cpus_in_sr. The crashing CPU waits in kexec_secondary() until all other CPUs have cleared their bits in cpus_in_sr. The kexec kernel boot is then started.

2006-06-28[POWERPC] Setup RTAS values earlier, to enable rtas_call() earlierMichael Ellerman
Althought RTAS is instantiated when we enter the kernel, we can't actually call into it until we know its entry point address. Currently we grab that in rtas_initialize(), however that's quite late in the boot sequence. To enable rtas_call() earlier, we can grab the RTAS entry etc. values while we're scanning the flattened device tree. There's existing code to retrieve the values from /chosen, however we don't store them there anymore, so remove that code.

2006-06-28[POWERPC] powerpc: Initialise ppc_md htab pointers earlierMichael Ellerman
Initialise the ppc_md htab callbacks earlier, in the probe routines. This allows us to call htab_finish_init() from htab_initialize(), and makes it private to hash_utils_64.c. Move htab_finish_init() and make_bl() above htab_initialize() to avoid forward declarations. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-06-28[POWERPC] kdump: Reserve the existing TCE mappings left by the first kernelHaren Myneni
During kdump boot, noticed some machines checkstop on dma protection fault for ongoing DMA left in the first kernel. Instead of initializing TCE entries in iommu_init() for the kdump boot, this patch fixes this issue by walking through the each TCE table and checks whether the entries are in use by the first kernel. If so, reserve those entries by setting the corresponding bit in tbl->it_map such that these entries will not be available for the kdump boot. However it could be possible that all TCE entries might be used up due to the driver bug that does continuous mapping. My observation is around 1700 TCE entries are used on some systems (Ex: P4) at some point of time during kdump boot and saving dump (either write into the disk or sending to remote machine). Hence, this patch will make sure that minimum of 2048 entries will be available such that kdump boot could be successful in some cases.

2006-06-27[PATCH] sched: mc/smt power savings sched policySiddha, Suresh B
sysfs entries 'sched_mc_power_savings' and 'sched_smt_power_savings' in /sys/devices/system/cpu/ control the MC/SMT power savings policy for the scheduler. Based on the values (1-enable, 0-disable) for these controls, sched groups cpu power will be determined for different domains. When power savings policy is enabled and under light load conditions, scheduler will minimize the physical packages/cpu cores carrying the load and thus conserving power(with a perf impact based on the workload characteristics... see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..)

With this patch Kprobes now registers for page fault notifications only when their is an active probe registered. Once all the active probes are unregistered their is no need to be notified of page faults and kprobes unregisters itself from the page fault notifications.

2006-06-25[PATCH] Define __raw_get_cpu_var and use itPaul Mackerras
There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64, powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var on those platforms. This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x, raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

2006-06-22[PATCH] vgacon: make VGA_MAP_MEM take size, remove extra useBjorn Helgaas
VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures. It makes sense to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end. But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because we aren't going to access memory starting there. On ia64, which always has to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being nonsense. As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap() correctly, rather than giving it a zero size. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: "Antonino A.

2006-06-21[POWERPC] Fix mdelay badness on shared processor partitionsAnton Blanchard
On partitioned PPC64 systems where a partition is given 1/10 of a processor, we have seen mdelay() delaying for 10 times longer than it should. The reason is that the generic mdelay(n) does n delays of 1 millisecond each. However, with 1/10 of a processor, we only get a one-millisecond timeslice every 10ms. Thus each 1 millisecond delay loop ends up taking 10ms elapsed time. The solution is just to use the PPC64 udelay function, which uses the timebase to ensure that the delay is based on elapsed time rather than how much processing time the partition has been given. (Yes, the generic mdelay uses the PPC64 udelay, but the problem is that the start time gets reset every millisecond, and each time it gets reset we lose another 9ms.)

2006-06-21[POWERPC] disable floating point exceptions for initArnd Bergmann
Floating point exceptions should not be enabled by default, as this setting impacts the performance on some CPUs, in particular the Cell BE. Since the bits are inherited from parent processes, the place to change the default is the thread struct used for init. glibc sets this up correctly per thread in its fesetenv function, so user space should not be impacted by this setting. None of the other common libc implementations (uClibc, dietlibc, newlib, klibc) has support for fp exceptions, so they are unlikely to be hit by this either. There is a small risk that somebody wrote their own application that manually sets the fpscr bits instead of calling fesetenv, without changing the MSR bits as well. Those programs will break with this change. It probably makes sense to change glibc in the future to be more clever about FE bits, so that when running on a CPU where this is expensive, it disables exceptions ASAP, while it keeps them enabled on CPUs where running with exceptions on is cheaper than changing the state often.
