2008-07-23kgdb, powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb supportJason Wessel
This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core interface. It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of debug hooks. The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver. Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver configured. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

Add a #define for aligning to a long-sized boundary.

2008-07-22powerpc/cell: Add support for power button of future IBM cell bladesChristian Krafft
This patch adds support for the power button on future IBM cell blades. It actually doesn't shut down the machine. Instead it exposes an input device /dev/input/event0 to userspace which sends KEY_POWER if power button has been pressed. haldaemon actually recognizes the button, so a plattform independent acpid replacement should handle it correctly.

2008-07-15powerpc: Add PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPATNathan Lynch
Background from Maynard Johnson: As of POWER6, a set of 32 common events is defined that must be supported on all future POWER processors. The main impetus for this compat set is the need to support partition migration, especially from processor P(n) to processor P(n+1), where performance software that's running in the new partition may not be knowledgeable about processor P(n+1). If a performance tool determines it does not support the physical processor, but is told (via the PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT bit) that the processor supports the notion of the PMU compat set, then the performance tool can surface just those events to the user of the tool. PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT indicates that the PMU supports at least this basic subset of events which is compatible across POWER processor lines.

2008-07-09powerpc/mm: Add Strong Access Ordering supportDave Kleikamp
Allow an application to enable Strong Access Ordering on specific pages of memory on Power 7 hardware. Currently, power has a weaker memory model than x86. Implementing a stronger memory model allows an emulator to more efficiently translate x86 code into power code, resulting in faster code execution. On Power 7 hardware, storing 0b1110 in the WIMG bits of the hpte enables strong access ordering mode for the memory page. This patchset allows a user to specify which pages are thus enabled by passing a new protection bit through mmap() and mprotect(). I have defined PROT_SAO to be 0x10.

2008-07-08Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()David Gibson
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug. It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect() which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge' argument set to 0. This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong hash entries (of any). Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3. I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs. A process write a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and have the child incorrectly see the second write. Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree. Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed much recently). It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect(). Currently, hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform. When they are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and so will have different needs anyway.

2008-07-03powerpc/pseries: Update the device tree correctly for drconf memory add/removeNathan Fontenot
This updates the device tree manipulation routines so that memory add/remove of lmbs represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node of the device tree invokes the hotplug notifier chain. This change is needed because of the change in the way memory is represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node. All lmbs are described in the ibm,dynamic-memory property instead of having a separate node for each lmb as in previous device tree layouts. This requires the update_node() routine to check for updates to the ibm,dynamic-memory property and invoke the hotplug notifier chain. This also updates the pseries hotplug notifier to be able to gather information for lmbs represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node and have the lmbs added/removed.

2008-07-03powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtimeKumar Gala
To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync at runtime. On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up the code. We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'. We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is needed. This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it for the normal CPU_FTR purpose. Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.

2008-07-01powerpc: Keep 3 high personality bytes across execEric B Munson
Currently when a 32 bit process is exec'd on a powerpc 64 bit host the value in the top three bytes of the personality is clobbered. patch adds a check in the SET_PERSONALITY macro that will carry all the values in the top three bytes across the exec. These three bytes currently carry flags to disable address randomisation, limit the address space, force zeroing of an mmapped page, etc. Should an application set any of these bits they will be maintained and honoured on homogeneous environment but discarded and ignored on a heterogeneous environment. So if an application requires all mmapped pages to be initialised to zero and a wrapper is used to setup the personality and exec the target, these flags will remain set on an all 32 or all 64 bit envrionment, but they will be lost in the exec on a mixed 32/64 bit environment. Losing these bits means that the same application would behave differently in different environments. Tested on a POWER5+ machine with 64bit kernel and a mixed 64/32 bit user space.

2008-07-01powerpc: Add 64 bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotectAndy Whitcroft
The implementation of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() directly calls ptep_set_wrprotect() to mark a hugepte write protected. However this call is not appropriate on ppc64 kernels as this is a small page only implementation. This can lead to the hash not being flushed correctly when a mapping is being converted to COW, allowing processes to continue using the original copy. Currently huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() unconditionally calls ptep_set_wrprotect(). This is fine on ppc32 kernels as this call is generic. On 64 bit this is implemented as: pte_update(mm, addr, ptep, _PAGE_RW, 0); On ppc64 this last parameter is the page size and is passed directly on to hpte_need_flush(): hpte_need_flush(mm, addr, ptep, old, huge); And this directly affects the page size we pass to flush_hash_page(): flush_hash_page(vaddr, rpte, psize, ssize, 0); As this changes the way the hash is calculated we will flush the wrong pages, potentially leaving live hashes to the original page. Move the definition of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() to the 32/64 bit specific headers.

2008-07-01powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal supportMichael Neuling
This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available, as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits. Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state. The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31 doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers.

The first 32 regs overlap with the FP registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits. The second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.

2008-07-01powerpc: Introduce infrastructure for feature sections with alternativesMichael Ellerman
The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg: BEGIN_FTR_SECTION or 1,1,1 END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO) BEGIN_FTR_SECTION or 2,2,2 END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO) and the resulting code will be either, or 1,1,1 nop or, nop or 2,2,2 For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops. This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following: BEGIN_FTR_SECTION or 1,1,1 FTR_SECTION_ELSE or 2,2,2 ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO) and the resulting code will be: or 1,1,1 or, or 2,2,2 We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty we nop out the default case. The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the remainder of the section is nop'ed. We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text, so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link, this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases. This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.

2008-07-01powerpc: Consolidate feature fixup macros for 64/32 bitMichael Ellerman
Currently we have three versions of MAKE_FTR_SECTION_ENTRY(), the macro that generates a feature section entry. There is 64bit version, a 32bit version and version for 32bit code built with a 64bit kernel. Rather than triplicating (?) the MAKE_FTR_SECTION_ENTRY() logic, we can move the 64bit/32bit differences into separate macros, and then only have one version of MAKE_FTR_SECTION_ENTRY().
