2007-10-19Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)Alexey Dobriyan2-2/+2
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.

2007-10-18powerpc: add scaled time accountingMichael Neuling2-2/+31
This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting. POWER6 includes a SPURR register. The SPURR is based off the PURR register but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates. This gives a more accurate account of the instructions used per task. The PURR and timebase will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU frequency. This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit. The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of these accounted by the PURR. If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read. An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR was read, which included the system call entry and exit path. Unfortunately this showed a performance regression on lmbench runs, so was re-implemented. I've included the lmbench results here when run bare metal on POWER6. 1st column is the unpatch results. 2nd column is the results using the below patch and the 3rd is the % diff of these results from the base. 4th and 5th columns are the results and % differnce from the base using the older patch (SPURR read in syscall entry/exit path).

A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and 0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

Problem identified by Andrew Haley, and fix provided by Jakub Jelinek (thanks !). Unfortunately, a bug in gcc cause it to not quite work either, but that is being fixed separately with something around the lines of: linux-unwind.h: fs->regs.reg[R_CR2].loc.offset = (long) &regs->ccr - new_cfa; + /* CR? regs are just 32-bit and PPC is big-endian. */ + fs->regs.reg[R_CR2].loc.offset += sizeof (long) - 4; (According to Jakub) Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-10-17[POWERPC] Add 1TB workaround for PA6TOlof Johansson1-0/+6
PA6T has a bug where the slbie instruction does not honor the large segment bit. As a result, we have to always use slbia when switching context. We don't have to worry about changing the slbie's during fault processing, since they should never be replacing one VSID with another using the same ESID. I.e. there's no risk for inserting duplicate entries due to a failed slbie of the old entry. So as long as we clear it out on context switch we should be fine.

2007-10-12[POWERPC] Add legacy serial support for OPB with flattened device treeValentine Barshak1-2/+3
Currently find_legacy_serial_ports() can find no serial ports on the OPB with flattened device tree. Thus no legacy boot console can be initialized. Just the early udbg console works, which is initialized with udbg_init_44x_as1 on the UART's physical address specified in kernel config. This happens because we look for ns16750 serial devices only and expect opb node to have a device type property. This patch makes it look for ns16550-compatible devices and use of_device_is_compatible() for opb in case device type is not specified.

2007-10-12[POWERPC] Use 1TB segmentsPaul Mackerras3-4/+21
This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them (currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T). We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree. We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments. That would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted) and is not addressed here.

Move to using PAGE_OFFSET instead of TASK_SIZE or KERNELBASE value on 6xx/40x/44x/fsl-booke to determine if the faulting address is a kernel or user space address. This mimics how the macro is_kernel_addr() works. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
2007-10-11[POWERPC] Make clockevents work on PPC601 processorsPaul Mackerras1-1/+1
In testing the new clocksource and clockevent code on a PPC601 processor, I discovered that the clockevent multiplier value for the decrementer clockevent was overflowing. Because the RTCL register in the 601 effectively counts at 1GHz (it doesn't actually, but it increases by 128 every 128ns), and the shift value was 32, that meant the multiplier value had to be 2^32, which won't fit in an unsigned long on 32-bit. The same problem would arise on any platform where the timebase frequency was 1GHz or more (not that we actually have any such machines today). This fixes it by reducing the shift value to 16. Doing the calculations with a resolution of 2^-16 nanoseconds (15 femtoseconds) should be quite adequate. :) Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-10-11[POWERPC] Prevent decrementer clockevents from firing earlyPaul Mackerras1-0/+14
On old powermacs, we sometimes set the decrementer to 1 in order to trigger a decrementer interrupt, which we use to handle an interrupt that was pending at the time when it was re-enabled. This was causing the decrementer clock event device to call the event function for the next event early, which was causing problems when high-res timers were not enabled. This fixes the problem by recording the timebase value at which the next event should occur, and checking the current timebase against the recorded value in timer_interrupt. If it isn't time for the next event, it just reprograms the decrementer and returns. This also subtracts 1 from the value stored into the decrementer, which is appropriate because the decrementer interrupts on the transition from 0 to -1, not when the decrementer reaches 0.

2007-10-11[POWERPC] Fix performance monitor on machines with logical PVRPaul Mackerras1-21/+24
Some IBM machines supply a "logical" PVR (processor version register) value in the device tree in the cpu nodes rather than the real PVR. This is used for instance to indicate that the processors in a POWER6 partition have been configured by the hypervisor to run in POWER5+ mode rather than POWER6 mode. To cope with this, we call identify_cpu a second time with the logical PVR value (the first call is with the real PVR value in the very early setup code). However, POWER5+ machines can also supply a logical PVR value, and use the same value (the value that indicates a v2.04 architecture compliant processor). This causes problems for code that uses the performance monitor (such as oprofile), because the PMU registers are different in POWER6 (even in POWER5+ mode) from the real POWER5+. This change works around this problem by taking out the PMU information from the cputable entries for the logical PVR values, and changing identify_cpu so that the second call to it won't overwrite the PMU information that was established by the first call (the one with the real PVR), but does update the other fields. Specifically, if the cputable entry for the logical PVR value has num_pmcs == 0, none of the PMU-related fields get used. So that we can create a mixed cputable entry, we now make cur_cpu_spec point to a single static struct cpu_spec, and copy stuff from cpu_specs[i] into it. This has the side-effect that we can now make cpu_specs[] be initdata. Ultimately it would be good to move the PMU-related fields out to a separate structure, pointed to by the cputable entries, and change identify_cpu so that it saves the PMU info pointer, copies the whole structure, and restores the PMU info pointer, rather than identify_cpu having to list all the fields that are *not* PMU-related.

2007-10-11[POWERPC] Align the sys_call_tableStephen Rothwell1-0/+2
Our _GLOBAL macro does a ".align 2" so the alignment is fine for 32 bit, but on 64 bit it is possible for it to end up only 4 byte aligned. I don't know if it matters, but it can't hurt to 8 byte align it. It also means that when we build with --emit_relocs, none of our 64 bit relocations are to misaligned places.

Discussions with firmware architects have confirmed that the bit in the ibm,pa-features property that indicates support for cache-inhibited large (>= 64kB) page mappings does in fact mean that the hypervisor allows 64kB mappings to I/O devices.
