2010-02-10powerpc: Fix address masking bug in hpte_need_flush()David Gibson1-3/+9
Commit f71dc176aa06359681c30ba6877ffccab6fba3a6 'Make hpte_need_flush() correctly mask for multiple page sizes' introduced bug, which is triggered when a kernel with a 64k base page size is run on a system whose hardware does not 64k hash PTEs. In this case, we emulate 64k pages with multiple 4k hash PTEs, however in hpte_need_flush() we incorrectly only mask the hardware page size from the address, instead of the logical page size. This causes things to go wrong when we later attempt to iterate through the hardware subpages of the logical page. This patch corrects the error. It has been tested on pSeries bare metal by Michael Neuling. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-02-08powerpc/pseries: Fix kexec regression caused by CPPR trackingMark Nelson1-2/+12
The code to track the CPPR values added by commit 49bd3647134ea47420067aea8d1401e722bf2aac ("powerpc/pseries: Track previous CPPR values to correctly EOI interrupts") broke kexec on pseries because the kexec code in xics.c calls xics_set_cpu_priority() before the IPI has been EOI'ed. This wasn't a problem previously but it now triggers a BUG_ON in xics_set_cpu_priority() because os_cppr->index isn't 0. Fix this problem by setting the index on the CPPR stack to 0 before calling xics_set_cpu_priority() in xics_teardown_cpu(). Also make it clear that we only want to set the priority when there's just one CPPR value in the stack, and enforce it by updating the value of os_cppr->stack[0] rather than os_cppr->stack[os_cppr->index]. While we're at it change the BUG_ON to a WARN_ON.

2010-01-13zlib: Fix build of powerpc boot wrapperBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-3/+1
Commit ac4c2a3bbe5db5fc570b1d0ee1e474db7cb22585 broke the build of all powerpc boot wrappers. It attempts to add an include of autoconf.h but used the wrong path for it. It also adds -D__KERNEL__ to our boot wrapper, both things that we pretty much didn't do on purpose so far. We want our boot wrapper to remain independent enough of the kernel for various reasons, one of them being that you can "wrap" an existing kernel at distro install time which allows to ship one kernel image and a set of boot wrappers for different platforms, the wrappers don't have to be built out of the same kernel build tree. It's also incorrect to do what the patch does in our boot environment since we may not have a proper alignment exception handler which means we may not be able to fixup the few cases where an unaligned access will need SW emulation (depends on the core variant, could be when crossing page or segment boundaries for example). This patch fixes it by putting the old code back in and using the new "fancy" variant only when CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, which happens not to be set on powerpc since we don't include autoconf.h. It also reverts the changes to our boot wrapper Makefile. This means that x86 should, afaik, keep the optimisations since its boot wrapper does include autoconf.h and define __KERNEL__ (though I doubt they make that much different outside of slow embedded processors).

2010-01-11zlib: optimize inffast when copying direct from outputJoakim Tjernlund1-1/+3
JFFS2 uses lesser compression ratio and inflate always ends up in "copy direct from output" case. This patch tries to optimize the direct copy procedure. Uses get_unaligned() but only in one place. The copy loop just above this one can also use this optimization, but I havn't done so as I have not tested if it is a win there too. On my MPC8321 this is about 17% faster on my JFFS2 root FS than the original.

2009-12-18powerpc/defconfigs: Set HZ=100 on pseries and ppc64 defconfigsAnton Blanchard2-6/+6
Now we have high res timers there is less of a reason for a high HZ value. Furthermore I think there a few reasons we should reduce HZ to 100: - Timer interrupt overhead. While this overhead is small, there are applications that are very sensitive to jitter (eg some HPC apps). - Issues with the timer wheel code. When coming out of NO_HZ idle we work our way through the timer code one tick at a time. If we have been idle a long time, this adds up - I sometimes see milliseconds of time spent in that loop. Long term we should fix the timer wheel algorithm, but for now if we reduce HZ then we reduce the amount of work the timer code has to do when coming out of idle.
