2011-07-12powerpc/e500: Save SPEFCSR in flush_spe_to_thread()yu liu1-4/+1
giveup_spe() saves the SPE state which is protected by MSR[SPE]. However, modifying SPEFSCR does not trap when MSR[SPE]=0. And since SPEFSCR is already saved/restored in _switch(), not all the callers want to save SPEFSCR again. Thus, saving SPEFSCR should not belong to giveup_spe(). This patch moves SPEFSCR saving to flush_spe_to_thread(), and cleans up the caller that needs to save SPEFSCR accordingly.

2011-06-22powerpc/e500: fix breakage with fsl_rio_mcheck_exceptionScott Wood1-1/+1
The wrong MCSR bit was being used on e500mc. MCSR_BUS_RBERR only exists on e500v1/v2. Use MCSR_LD on e500mc, and remove all MCSR checking in fsl_rio_mcheck_exception as we now no longer call that function if the appropriate bit in MCSR is not set. If RIO support was enabled at compile-time, but was never probed, just return from fsl_rio_mcheck_exception rather than dereference a NULL pointer. TODO: There is still a remaining, though comparitively minor, issue in that this recovery mechanism will falsely engage if there's an unrelated MCSR_LD event at the same time as a RIO error.

2011-05-13sysfs: remove "last sysfs file:" line from the oops messagesGreg Kroah-Hartman1-1/+0
On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would print out the last sysfs file accessed. This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback. So it's time to delete the line. This is good as we need all the space we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.

2011-04-27powerpc: Per process DSCR + some fixes (try#4)Alexey Kardashevskiy1-0/+24
The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch of data streams. This patch allows the value to be specified per thread by emulating the corresponding mfspr and mtspr instructions. Children of such threads inherit the value. Other threads use a default value that can be specified in sysfs - /sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default. If a thread starts with non default value in the sysfs entry, all children threads inherit this non default value even if the sysfs value is changed later.

2010-06-22powerpc, hw_breakpoint: Handle concurrent alignment interruptsK.Prasad1-5/+3
If an alignment interrupt occurs on an instruction that is being single-stepped, the alignment interrupt handler currently handles the single-step condition by unconditionally sending a SIGTRAP to the process. Other synchronous interrupts that result in the instruction being emulated do likewise. With hw_breakpoint support, the hw_breakpoint code needs to be able to intercept these single-step events as well as those where the instruction executes normally and a trace interrupt happens. Fix this by making emulate_single_step() use the existing single_step_exception() function instead of calling _exception() directly. We then make single_step_exception() use the abstracted clear_single_step() rather than clearing bits in the MSR image directly so that emulate_single_step() will continue to work correctly on Book 3E processors.

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock, notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is to allow the kernel debugger to handle the exception first in program_check_exception(). The other change here is to make sure that kgdb_handle_exception() is called with correct parameters when catching an oops, because kdb needs to know if the entry was an oops, single step, or breakpoint exception.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-1/+0
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions. I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate when using the perf tool.

2007-12-23[POWERPC] Reworking machine check handling and Fix 440/440ABenjamin Herrenschmidt1-13/+49
This adds a cputable function pointer for the CPU-side machine check handling. The semantic is still the same as the old one, the one in ppc_md. overrides the one in cputable, though ultimately we'll want to change that so the CPU gets first. This removes CONFIG_440A which was a problem for multiplatform kernels and instead fixes up the IVOR at runtime from a setup_cpu function. The "A" version of the machine check also tweaks the regs->trap value to differenciate the 2 versions at the C level.

2007-12-11[POWERPC] Emulate isel (Integer Select) instructionKumar Gala1-0/+25
isel (Integer Select) is a new user space instruction in the PowerISA 2.04 spec. Not all processors implement it so lets emulate to ensure code built with isel will run everywhere. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
2007-10-19Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)Alexey Dobriyan1-1/+1
One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log. There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes so for arch/xxx files. It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the printks in arch code.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn1-1/+1
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

2007-10-12[POWERPC] Implement logging of unhandled signalsOlof Johansson1-1/+11
Implement show_unhandled_signals sysctl + support to print when a process is killed due to unhandled signals just as i386 and x86_64 does. Default to having it off, unlike x86 that defaults on. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-10-04[POWERPC] 8xx: Move softemu8xx.c from arch/ppcScott Wood1-1/+5
Previously, Soft_emulate_8xx was called with no implementation, resulting in build failures whenever building 8xx without math emulation. The implementation is copied from arch/ppc to resolve this issue. However, this sort of minimal emulation is not a very good idea other than for compatibility with existing userspaces, as it's less efficient than soft-float and can mislead users into believing they have soft-float. Thus, it is made a configurable option, off by default. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
2007-10-03[POWERPC] Separate out legacy machine check exception parsersOlof Johansson1-29/+37
Move out the old-style exception parsers to a separate function, and don't call it on platforms that have a platform-specific handler. It would make sense to move out the generic versions into their platforms instead, but that can be done gradually down the road.
