2009-02-23powerpc: More stack randomisation for 64bit binariesAnton Blanchard1-0/+5
At the moment we randomise the stack by 8MB on 32bit and 64bit tasks. Since we have a lot more address space to play with on 64bit, lets do what x86 does and increase that randomisation to 1GB: before: # for i in seq `1 10` ; do sleep 1 & cat /proc/${!}/maps | grep stack; done fffffebc000-fffffed1000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] ffffff5a000-ffffff6f000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] fffffdb2000-fffffdc7000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] fffffd3e000-fffffd53000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] fffffad9000-fffffaee000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] after: # for i in seq `1 10` ; do sleep 1 & cat /proc/${!}/maps | grep stack; done ffff5c27000-ffff5c3c000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] fffebe5e000-fffebe73000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] fffcb298000-fffcb2ad000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] fffc719d000-fffc71b2000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] fffe01af000-fffe01c4000 rw-p ffffffeb000 00:00 0 [stack] Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-02-15net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packetsPatrick Ohly1-0/+3
User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping. Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled separately for each field in the message because some of the fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead. User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart and choose what suits its needs. When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket associated with it. The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's start_hard_xmit routine.

2009-02-14powerpc/44x: Support for 256KB PAGE_SIZEYuri Tikhonov5-8/+18
This patch adds support for 256KB pages on ppc44x-based boards. For simplification of implementation with 256KB pages we still assume 2-level paging. As a side effect this leads to wasting extra memory space reserved for PTE tables: only 1/4 of pages allocated for PTEs are actually used. But this may be an acceptable trade-off to achieve the high performance we have with big PAGE_SIZEs in some applications (e.g. RAID). Also with 256KB PAGE_SIZE we increase THREAD_SIZE up to 32KB to minimize the risk of stack overflows in the cases of on-stack arrays, which size depends on the page size (e.g. multipage BIOs, NTFS, etc.). With 256KB PAGE_SIZE we need to decrease the PKMAP_ORDER at least down to 9, otherwise all high memory (2 ^ 10 * PAGE_SIZE == 256MB) we'll be occupied by PKMAP addresses leaving no place for vmalloc. We do not separate PKMAP_ORDER for 256K from 16K/64K PAGE_SIZE here; actually that value of 10 in support for 16K/64K had been selected rather intuitively. Thus now for all cases of PAGE_SIZE on ppc44x (including the default, 4KB, one) we have 512 pages for PKMAP. Because ELF standard supports only page sizes up to 64K, then you should use binutils later than 2.17.50.0.3 with '-zmax-page-size' set to 256K for building applications, which are to be run with the 256KB-page sized kernel. If using the older binutils, then you should patch them like follows: --- binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c.orig +++ binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c -#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE 0x10000 +#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE 0x40000 One more restriction we currently have with 256KB page sizes is inability to use shmem safely, so, for now, the 256KB is available only if you turn the CONFIG_SHMEM option off (another variant is to use BROKEN). Though, if you need shmem with 256KB pages, you can always remove the !SHMEM dependency in 'config PPC_256K_PAGES', and use the workaround available here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/19/20 Signed-off-by: Yuri Tikhonov <yur@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Yanok <yanok@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The Power ISA 2.06 spec introduces a standard MMU programming model that is based on the Freescale Book-E MMU programing model.

Made the minor code changes to support both power of two and power of four page sizes. Also added some new MAS bits and macros that are defined as part of the 2.06 ISA. Renamed some things to use the 'Book-3e' concept to convey the new MMU that is based on the Freescale Book-E MMU programming model.

2009-02-11powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3)Benjamin Herrenschmidt4-74/+97
This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on PowerPC. The "old" way was split in 3 different parts depending on the processor type: - Hash with per-page exec support (64-bit and >= POWER4 only) does it at hashing time, by preventing exec on unclean pages and cleaning pages on exec faults. - Everything without per-page exec support (32-bit hash, 8xx, and 64-bit < POWER4) does it for all page going to user space in update_mmu_cache(). - Embedded with per-page exec support does it from do_page_fault() on exec faults, in a way similar to what the hash code does. That leads to confusion, and bugs. For example, the method using update_mmu_cache() is racy on SMP where another processor can see the new PTE and hash it in before we have cleaned the cache, and then blow trying to execute. This is hard to hit but I think it has bitten us in the past. Also, it's inefficient for embedded where we always end up having to do at least one more page fault. This reworks the whole thing by moving the cache sync into two main call sites, though we keep different behaviours depending on the HW capability. The call sites are set_pte_at() which is now made out of line, and ptep_set_access_flags() which joins the former in pgtable.c The base idea for Embedded with per-page exec support, is that we now do the flush at set_pte_at() time when coming from an exec fault, which allows us to avoid the double fault problem completely (we can even improve the situation more by implementing TLB preload in update_mmu_cache() but that's for later). If for some reason we didn't do it there and we try to execute, we'll hit the page fault, which will do a minor fault, which will hit ptep_set_access_flags() to do things like update _PAGE_ACCESSED or _PAGE_DIRTY if needed, we just make this guys also perform the I/D cache sync for exec faults now. This second path is the catch all for things that weren't cleaned at set_pte_at() time. For cpus without per-pag exec support, we always do the sync at set_pte_at(), thus guaranteeing that when the PTE is visible to other processors, the cache is clean. For the 64-bit hash with per-page exec support case, we keep the old mechanism for now. I'll look into changing it later, once I've reworked a bit how we use _PAGE_EXEC. This is also a first step for adding _PAGE_EXEC support for embedded platforms Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-01-28powerpc/fsl-booke: Cleanup init/exception setup to be runtimeKumar Gala1-0/+1
We currently have a few variants of fsl-booke processors (e500v1, e500v2, e500mc, and e200). They all have minor differences that we had previously been handling via ifdefs. To move towards having this support the following changes have been made: * PID1, PID2 only exist on e500v1 & e500v2 and should not be accessed on e500mc or e200. We use MMUCFG[NPIDS] to determine which case we are since we only touch PID1/2 in extremely early init code. * Not all IVORs exist on all the processors so introduce cpu_setup functions for each variant to setup the proper IVORs that are either unique or exist but have some variations between the processors Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-01-10powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardwarePaul Mackerras1-0/+62
This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors. It has been designed for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably not Cell given how different it is in this area). This doesn't include back-ends for any specific processors. This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted simultaneously. The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask + 64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers feeding an event bus, with some events being available through multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970. Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination that will fit.

2009-01-09powerpc: Provide a way to defer perf counter work until interrupts are enabledPaul Mackerras2-0/+32
Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are soft-disabled but hard-enabled). In such a situation the performance monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI handler. This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled, either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt handler to code that had interrupts enabled. We have a per-processor flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts subsequently get re-enabled. This flag is checked in the interrupt return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set, perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.

2009-01-08powerpc/oprofile: IBM CELL: add SPU event profiling supportCarl Love2-0/+8
This patch adds the SPU event based profiling funcitonality for the IBM Cell processor. Previously, the CELL OProfile kernel code supported PPU event, PPU cycle profiling and SPU cycle profiling. The addition of SPU event profiling allows the users to identify where in their SPU code various SPU evnets are occuring. This should help users further identify issues with their code. Note, SPU profiling has some limitations due to HW constraints. Only one event at a time can be used for profiling and SPU event profiling must be time sliced across all of the SPUs in a node. The patch adds a new arch specific file to the OProfile file system. The file has bit 0 set to indicate that the kernel supports SPU event profiling. The user tool must check this file/bit to make sure the kernel supports SPU event profiling before trying to do SPU event profiling. The user tool check is part of the user tool patch for SPU event profiling. Signed-off-by: Carl Love <carll@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

2009-01-08mtd/ps3vram: Add ps3vram driver for accessing video RAM as MTDJim Paris1-0/+1
Add ps3vram driver, which exposes unused video RAM on the PS3 as a MTD device suitable for storage or swap. Fast data transfer is achieved using a local cache in system RAM and DMA transfers via the GPU.

2009-01-08powerpc: Add ioctls for RS485 mode control of serial driversMatthias Fuchs1-0/+2
These ioctls take a struct serial_rs485 (see linux/serial.h) as argument. They are already available on x86. This patch adds them for the powerpc architecture. Signed-off-by: Matthias Fuchs <mfuchs@ma-fu.de> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-01-06atomic_t: unify all arch definitionsMatthew Wilcox1-3/+1
The atomic_t type cannot currently be used in some header files because it would create an include loop with asm/atomic.h. Move the type definition to linux/types.h to break the loop.

2009-01-06mm: report the MMU pagesize in /proc/pid/smapsMel Gorman1-0/+6
The KernelPageSize entry in /proc/pid/smaps is the pagesize used by the kernel to back a VMA. This matches the size used by the MMU in the majority of cases. However, one counter-example occurs on PPC64 kernels whereby a kernel using 64K as a base pagesize may still use 4K pages for the MMU on older processor. To distinguish, this patch reports MMUPageSize as the pagesize used by the MMU in /proc/pid/smaps.
