2007-07-22[POWERPC] Allow exec faults on readable areas on classic 32-bit PowerPCPaul Mackerras1-1/+7
Classic 32-bit PowerPC CPUs, and the early 64-bit PowerPC CPUs, don't provide a way to prevent execution from readable pages, that is, the MMU doesn't distinguish between data reads and instruction reads, although a different exception is taken for faults in data accesses and instruction accesses. Commit 9ba4ace39fdfe22268daca9f28c5df384ae462cf, in the course of fixing another bug, added a check that meant that a page fault due to an instruction access would fail if the vma did not have the VM_EXEC flag set. This gives an inconsistent enforcement on these CPUs of the no-execute status of the vma (since reading from the page is sufficient to allow subsequent execution from it), and causes old versions of ppc32 glibc (2.2 and earlier) to fail, since they rely on executing the word before the GOT but don't have it marked executable. This fixes the problem by allowing execution from readable (or writable) areas on CPUs which do not provide separate control over data and instruction reads.

2007-07-22[POWERPC] Fix future firmware feature fixups function failureMichael Neuling3-23/+15
Move firmware feature initialisation from pSeries_init_early to the earlier pSeries_probe_hypertas so they are initialised before firmware feature fixups are applied. Currently firmware feature sections are only used for iSeries which initialises the these features much earlier. This is a bug in waiting on pSeries. Also adds some whitespace fixups.

2007-07-20[SPARC]: Fix serial console device detection.David S. Miller13-346/+210
The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which is wrong. The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias or similar to a full path name to the console device. Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a colon at the end of the path. The option area is used to specify which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a device node drives multiple ports. 'a' is assumed if the option specification is missing. This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator. The 'output-device' property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'. Instead we saw it as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console. The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too. Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

2007-07-20[CELL] spufs: rework list management and associated lockingChristoph Hellwig2-162/+108
This sorts out the various lists and related locks in the spu code. In detail: - the per-node free_spus and active_list are gone. Instead struct spu gained an alloc_state member telling whether the spu is free or not - the per-node spus array is now locked by a per-node mutex, which takes over from the global spu_lock and the per-node active_mutex - the spu_alloc* and spu_free function are gone as the state change is now done inline in the spufs code. This allows some more sharing of code for the affinity vs normal case and more efficient locking - some little refactoring in the affinity code for this locking scheme Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com>

From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com> This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c to add in the SPU profiling capabilities. In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code. Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data structures. Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn). Check pointer returned from kzalloc. Eliminated unnecessary cast. Better error handling and cleanup in the related area. 64-bit unsigned long parameter was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to unsigned long.

SPE affinity implementation actually requires only access to one spu per BE node (since it implements its own pointer to walk through the other spus of the ring) and the number of scheduleable spus (n_spus - non_sched_spus) However having this more general structure can be useful for other functionalities, concentrating per-cbe statistics / data.

2007-07-20[CELL] allow linux to map Cell regs on legacy SLOF tree.Jean-Christophe DUBOIS1-0/+7
The platforms missing the "cpus" property in the "be" node are mono-Cell platforms such as CAB or Getaway. Therefore it is possible to assume that if there is no "cpus" properties under the "be" node then we can safely return the "device node" without more checking. This is a bit hacky but ... it allows it to work on these platforms.

2007-07-20[CELL] fix cbe_thermal for legacy SLOF tree.Jean-Christophe DUBOIS1-5/+20
Previous patch changed based on Christian Krafft's comment. On some legacy SLOF tree the generic code is unable to ioremap some Cell BE registers. Therefore the "generic" functions are returning a NULL pointer, triggering a crash on such platforms. Let's handle this more gracefully.
