2009-10-14powerpc/pci: Fix MODPOST warningHeiko Schocher1-1/+1
making a powerpc target with PCI support, shows the following warning: MODPOST vmlinux.o WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x10430): Section mismatch in reference from the function pcibios_allocate_bus_resources() to the function .init.text:reparent_resources() The function pcibios_allocate_bus_resources() references the function __init reparent_resources(). This is often because pcibios_allocate_bus_resources lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of reparent_resources is wrong. This patch fix this warning by removing the __init annotation before reparent_resources. Signed-off-by: Heiko Schocher <hs@denx.de> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-10-14powerpc: warning: allocated section `.data_nosave' not in segmentSean MacLennan1-0/+1
We need to align before the output section. Having the align inside the output section causes the linker to put some filler in there, which makes it a non-empty section, but this section isn't assigned to a segment so you get a warning from the linker.

2009-10-14powerpc: Fix hypervisor TLB batchingAnton Blanchard2-7/+6
Profiling of a page fault scalability microbenchmark shows flush_hash_range is not calling the batch hpte invalidate hcall (H_BULK_REMOVE). It turns out we have a duplicate firmware feature for hcall-bulk and the current setup code stops after finding the first match. This meant we never batch and always do individual invalidates. The patch below removes the duplicate and shifts FW_FEATURE_CMO to close the gap. With the patch applied the single threaded page fault rate improves from 217169 to 238755 per second on a POWER5 test box, a 10% improvement.

2009-10-14powerpc/mm: Fix hang accessing top of vmalloc spaceBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-6/+4
On pSeries, we always force the IO space to be mapped using 4K pages even with a 64K base page size to cope with some limitations in the HV interface to some devices. However, the SLB miss handler code to discriminate between vmalloc and ioremap space uses a CPU feature section such that the code is nop'ed out when the processor support large pages non-cachable mappings. Thus, we end up always using the ioremap page size for vmalloc segments on such processors, causing a discrepency between the segment and the hash table, and thus a hang continously hashing the page. It works for the first segment of the vmalloc space since that segment is "bolted" in by C code correctly, and thankfully we almost never use the vmalloc space beyond the first segment, but the new percpu code made the bug happen. This fixes it by removing the feature section from the assembly, we now always do the comparison between vmalloc and ioremap.

2009-10-14powerpc/pmac: Fix issues with sleep on some powerbooksBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-2/+5
Since the change of how interrupts are disabled during suspend, certain PowerBook models started exhibiting various issues during suspend or resume from sleep. I finally tracked it down to the code that runs various "platform" functions (kind of little scripts extracted from the device-tree), which uses our i2c and PMU drivers expecting interrutps to work, and at a time where with the new scheme, they have been disabled. This causes timeouts internally which for some reason results in the PMU being unable to see the trackpad, among other issues, really it depends on the machine. Most of the time, we fail to properly adjust some clocks for suspend/resume so the results are not always predictable. This patch fixes it by using IRQF_TIMER for both the PMU and the I2C interrupts. I prefer doing it this way than moving the call sites since I really want those platform functions to still be called after all drivers (and before sysdevs). We also do a slight cleanup to via-pmu.c driver to make sure the ADB autopoll mask is handled correctly when doing bus resets Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-10-13powerpc64/ftrace: use PACA to retrieve TOC in mod_return_to_handlerSteven Rostedt1-2/+1
The mod_return_to_handler needs to switch to the kernel TOC before jumping to a the kernel code. It currently does this by looking at the kernel function data and retrieves the TOC that way. Not only is this inefficient, it also breaks with a relocatable kernel. The PACA contains the kernel TOC and we can easily retrieve it that way.

2009-10-13powerpc/ftrace: show real return addresses in modulesSteven Rostedt1-3/+7
When the function graph tracer is enabled, it replaces the return address with a hook back to the tracer. This makes back traces see the hook instead of the actual return address. The current code also shows the real address by checking if the return address jumps to the return_to_handler. If it is, is also prints out the saved real return address. On powerpc64, some modules may return to mod_return_to_handler, which is not checked. This patch will also show the real address if a return is to mod_return_to_handler as well.

2009-09-24powerpc/4xx: Fix erroneous xmon warning on PowerPC 4xxJosh Boyer1-3/+13
The xmon code relies on MSR_RI being non-zero to indicate that an exception is recoverable. If it is not, it prints a warning message. However, the PowerPC 4xx cores do not have an MSR_RI bit and this warning is produced for every xmon event. This introduces an unrecoverable_excp function to determine if an exception is recoverable or not. This gets rid of the erroneous warnings on 4xx.

2009-09-24powerpc: Increase NODES_SHIFT on 64bit from 4 to 8Anton Blanchard1-0/+6
Some System p configurations can already have more than 16 nodes so we need to increase NODES_SHIFT. I chose 256 to give us some room to grow in the future, although we can look at something smaller if the memory bloat is considered too much. Unless we clamp MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS we end up with 300kB of extra bloat in early_node_map in mm/page_alloc.c: < 6144 early_node_map > 307200 early_node_map due to: #if MAX_NUMNODES >= 32 /* If there can be many nodes, allow up to 50 holes per node */ #define MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS (MAX_NUMNODES*50) #else /* By default, allow up to 256 distinct regions */ #define MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS 256 Since our memory is mostly contiguous it seems reasonable to keep this at 256 for now. I also set 32bit to 32 to save space (is there any chance a 32bit system will have more than 32 discontiguous memory ranges?). Even with that fixed we have a few data structures that grow: < 896 bootmem_node_data > 14336 bootmem_node_data < 1280 node_devices > 20480 node_devices < 25088 kmalloc_caches > 59648 kmalloc_caches < 1632 hstates > 21792 hstates Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-09-24powerpc: Move 64bit heap above 1TB on machines with 1TB segmentsAnton Blanchard1-1/+16
If we are using 1TB segments and we are allowed to randomise the heap, we can put it above 1TB so it is backed by a 1TB segment. Otherwise the heap will be in the bottom 1TB which always uses 256MB segments and this may result in a performance penalty. This functionality is disabled when heap randomisation is turned off: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space which may be useful when trying to allocate the maximum amount of 16M or 16G pages. On a microbenchmark that repeatedly touches 32GB of memory with a stride of 256MB + 4kB (designed to stress 256MB segments while still mapping nicely into the L1 cache), we see the improvement: Force malloc to use heap all the time: # export MALLOC_MMAP_MAX_=0 MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=-1 Disable heap randomization: # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space # time ./test 12.51s Enable heap randomization: # echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space # time ./test 1.70s Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-09-24powerpc: Check for unsupported relocs when using CONFIG_RELOCATABLETony Breeds2-0/+67
When using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, we build the kernel as a position independent executable. The kernel then uses a little bit of relocation code to relocate itself. That code only deals with R_PPC64_RELATIVE relocations though. If for some reason you use assembly constructs such as LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() to load the address of a symbol, you'll generate different kinds of relocations that won't be processed properly and bad things will happen. (We have 2 such bugs today). The perl script tries to filter out "known" bad ones. It's possible that we are missing some in the case of a weak function that nobody implements, we'll see if we get false positive and fix it.

2009-09-23kcore: use registerd physmem informationKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2-58/+0
For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add(). In usual, - range of physical memory - range of vmalloc area - text, etc... are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles. It doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary memory holes. Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory hotplug. Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on /proc/iomem.

2009-09-23walk system ram rangeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-3/+3
Originally, walk_memory_resource() was introduced to traverse all memory of "System RAM" for detecting memory hotplug/unplug range. For doing so, flags of IORESOUCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_BUSY was used and this was enough for memory hotplug. But for using other purpose, /proc/kcore, this may includes some firmware area marked as IORESOURCE_BUSY | IORESOUCE_MEM. This patch makes the check strict to find out busy "System RAM". Note: PPC64 keeps their own walk_memory_resouce(), which walk through ppc64's lmb informaton. Because old kclist_add() is called per lmb, this patch makes no difference in behavior, finally. And this patch removes CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG check from this function. Because pfn_valid() just show "there is memmap or not* and cannot be used for "there is physical memory or not", this function is useful in generic to scan physical memory range.

For /proc/kcore, vmalloc areas are registered per arch. But, all of them registers same range of [VMALLOC_START...VMALLOC_END) This patch unifies them. By this. archs which have no kclist_add() hooks can see vmalloc area correctly.

2009-09-23kcore: add kclist typesKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2-4/+5
Presently, kclist_add() only eats start address and size as its arguments. Considering to make kclist dynamically reconfigulable, it's necessary to know which kclists are for System RAM and which are not. This patch add kclist types as KCORE_RAM KCORE_VMALLOC KCORE_TEXT KCORE_OTHER This "type" is used in a patch following this for detecting KCORE_RAM.

2009-09-23seq_file: constify seq_operationsJames Morris2-2/+2
Make all seq_operations structs const, to help mitigate against revectoring user-triggerable function pointers. This is derived from the grsecurity patch, although generated from scratch because it's simpler than extracting the changes from there.
