2008-04-18[POWERPC] Optimize fls64() on 64-bit processorsPaul Mackerras
64-bit powerpc processors can find the leftmost 1 bit in a 64-bit doubleword in one instruction, so use that rather than using the generic fls64(), which does two 32-bit fls() calls. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-04-18[POWERPC] irqtrace support for 64-bit powerpcBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds the low level irq tracing hooks to the powerpc architecture needed to enable full lockdep functionality. This is partly based on Johannes Berg's initial version. I removed the asm trampoline that isn't needed (thus improving performance) and modified all sorts of bits and pieces, reworking most of the assembly, etc...

2008-04-18[POWERPC] Make pci_bus_to_host()'s struct pci_bus * argument constTrent Piepho
A) It's not modified and so it can be made const. const is good. B) If one has a function that was given a const pci_bus pointer and you want to get a pointer to its pci_controller, you'll get a warning from gcc when you use pci_bus_to_host(). This is the right way to stop that warning.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] Remove unused machine call outsKumar Gala
When we moved to arch/powerpc we actively tried to avoid using the ppc_md.setup_io_mappings(). Currently no board ports use it so let's remove it to avoid any new boards using it.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] pseries/phyp dump: Reserve a variable amount of space at bootManish Ahuja
This changes the way we calculate how much space to reserve for the pHyp dump. Currently we reserve 256MB only. With this change, the code first checks to see if an amount has been specified on the boot command line with the "phyp_dump_reserve_size" option, and if so, uses that much. Otherwise it computes 5% of total ram and rounds it down to a multiple of 256MB, and uses the larger of that or 256MB. This is for large systems with a lot of memory (10GB or more). The aim is to have more space available for the kernel on reboot on machines with more resources. Although the dump will be collected pretty fast and the memory released really early on allowing the machine to have the full memory available, this alleviates any issues that can be caused by having way too little memory on very very large systems during those few minutes.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] Update linker script to properly set physical addressesKumar Gala
We can set LOAD_OFFSET and use the AT attribute on sections and the linker will properly set the physical address of the LOAD program header for us. This allows us to know how the PHYSICAL_START the user configured a kernel with by just looking at the resulting vmlinux ELF. This is pretty much stolen from how x86 does things in their linker scripts. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-04-17[POWERPC] Move phys_addr_t definition into asm/types.hKumar Gala
Moved phys_addr_t out of mmu-*.h and into asm/types.h so we can use it in places that before would have caused recursive includes. For example to use phys_addr_t in <asm/page.h> we would have included <asm/mmu.h> which would have possibly included <asm/mmu-hash64.h> which includes <asm/page.h>. Wheeee recursive include. CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is a bit counterintuitive in light of ppc64 systems and thus the config option is only used for ppc32 systems with >32-bit physical addresses (44x, 85xx, 745x, etc.).

2008-04-17[POWERPC] Remove and replace uses of PPC_MEMSTART with memstart_addrKumar Gala
A number of users of PPC_MEMSTART (40x, ppc_mmu_32) can just always use 0 as we don't support booting these kernels at non-zero physical addresses since their exception vectors must be at 0 (or 0xfffx_xxxx). For the sub-arches that support relocatable interrupt vectors (book-e), it's reasonable to have memory start at a non-zero physical address. For those cases use the variable memstart_addr instead of the #define PPC_MEMSTART since the only uses of PPC_MEMSTART are for initialization and in the future we can set memstart_addr at runtime to have a relocatable kernel.

2008-04-15[LMB] Add lmb_alloc_nid()David S. Miller
A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails. The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the allocator. It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer 'this_nid'. It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start', and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory assosciated with 'nid' ends. This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might not be working yet. This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted "careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers, it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.

2008-04-11pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocolBjorn Helgaas
Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to an unsigned int. Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS interfaces use a one-byte device node number. But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this: pnp: PnP ACPI init kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

2008-04-10Add commentary about the new "asmlinkage_protect()" macroLinus Torvalds
It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros. I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his prettier syntax that uses vararg macros). Thus the previous two commits that actually implement it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-10asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_callRoland McGrath
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

2008-04-07[TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+LIlpo Järvinen
This fixes Bugzilla #10384 tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use. The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well, leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate ACK will fix the S counter. More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie., the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs had arrived. So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit 1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host we don't need callbacks now. As it is not reliable, the debug check is overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time. Document this. Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance protection can be easily tripped even on UP.

2008-04-07x86: fix 64-bit asm NOPS for CONFIG_GENERIC_CPUSuresh Siddha
ASM_NOP's for 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is broken with the recent x86 nops merge. They were using GENERIC_NOPS which will truncate the upper 32bits of %rsi, because of the missing 64bit rex prefix. For now, fall back ASM NOPS for generic cpu to K8 NOPS, similar to the code before the wrong x86 nop merge.

2008-04-07[POWERPC] Add of_device_is_available functionJosh Boyer
IEEE 1275 defined a standard "status" property to indicate the operational status of a device. The property has four possible values: okay, disabled, fail, fail-xxx. The absence of this property means the operational status of the device is unknown or okay. This adds a function called of_device_is_available that checks the state of the status property of a device. If the property is absent or set to either "okay" or "ok", it returns 1. Otherwise it returns 0. Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2008-04-07[POWERPC] Add hand-coded assembly strcmpSteven Rostedt
We have an assembly version of strncmp for the bootwrapper, but not for the kernel, so we end up using the C version in the kernel. This takes the strncmp code from the bootup and copies it to the kernel proper, adding two instructions so it copes correctly with len==0.

2008-04-04cgroups: add cgroup support for enabling controllers at boot timePaul Menage
The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are: - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init time; all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never be mounted on a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not allocating metadata) are up to the foo subsystem. This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't set be, but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init systems wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter processing since it would occur before the command-line argument parser had been run. Hugh said: Ballpark figures, I'm trying to get this question out rather than processing the exact numbers: CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR adds 15% overhead to the affected paths, booting with cgroup_disable=memory cuts that back to 1% overhead (due to slightly bigger struct page). I'm no expert on distros, they may have no interest whatever in CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y; and the rest of us can easily build with or without it, or apply the cgroup_disable=memory patches.
