2007-09-19[POWERPC] Fix timekeeping on PowerPC 601Benjamin Herrenschmidt1-0/+5
Recent changes to the timekeeping code broke support for the PowerPC 601 processor which doesn't have the usual timebase facility but a slightly different thing called (yuck) the RTC. This fixes it, boot tested on an old 601 based PowerMac 7200. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-09-11[POWERPC] cell/PS3: Fix a bug that causes the PS3 to hang on the SPU Class 0 interrupt.Masato Noguchi1-1/+1
The Cell BE Architecture spec states that the SPU MFC Class 0 interrupt is edge-triggered. The current spu interrupt handler assumes this behavior and does not clear the interrupt status. The PS3 hypervisor visualizes all SPU interrupts as level, and on return from the interrupt handler the hypervisor will deliver a new virtual interrupt for any unmasked interrupts which for which the status has not been cleared. This fix clears the interrupt status in the interrupt handler.

2007-08-10[POWERPC] Fix initialization and usage of dma_maskBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-1/+1
powerpc has a couple of bugs in the usage of dma_masks that tend to break when drivers explicitly try to set a 32-bit mask for example. First, the code that generates the pci devices from the OF device-tree doesn't initialize the mask properly, then our implementation of set_dma_mask() was trying to validate the -previous- mask value, not the one passed in as an argument. This fixes these problems. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-08-03[POWERPC] Fixes for the SLB shadow buffer codeMichael Neuling1-0/+1
On a machine with hardware 64kB pages and a kernel configured for a 64kB base page size, we need to change the vmalloc segment from 64kB pages to 4kB pages if some driver creates a non-cacheable mapping in the vmalloc area. However, we never updated with SLB shadow buffer. This fixes it. Thanks to paulus for finding this. Also added some write barriers to ensure the shadow buffer contents are always consistent.

2007-07-31Fix WARN_ON() on bitfield opsLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
Alexey Dobriyan noticed that the new WARN_ON() semantics that were introduced by commit 684f978347deb42d180373ac4c427f82ef963171 (to also return the value to be warned on) didn't compile when given a bitfield, because the typeof doesn't work for bitfields. So instead of the typeof trick, use an "int" variable together with a "!!(x)" expression, as suggested by Al Viro. To make matters more interesting, Paul Mackerras points out that that is sub-optimal on Power, but the old asm-coded comparison seems to be buggy anyway on 32-bit Power if the conditional was 64-bit, so I think there are more problems there. Regardless, the new WARN_ON() semantics may have been a bad idea. But this at least avoids the more serious complications.

2007-07-22[POWERPC] MPIC protected sourcesBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-0/+3
Some HW platforms, such as the new cell blades, requires some MPIC sources to be left alone by the operating system. This implements support for a "protected-sources" property in the mpic controller node containing a list of source numbers to be protected against operating system interference. For those interested in the gory details, the MPIC on the southbridge of those blades has some of the processor outputs routed to the cell, and at least one routed as a GPIO to the service processor. It will be used in the GA product for routing some of the southbridge error interrupts to the service processor which implements some of the RAS stuff, such as checkstopping when fatal errors occurs before they can propagate.

2007-07-20[CELL] spufs: rework list management and associated lockingChristoph Hellwig1-7/+4
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>

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.

As there is no more than one pmi device per maschine, there is no need to specify the device for listening and sending messages. This way the caller (cbe_cpufreq) doesn't need to scan the device tree. When registering the handler on a board without a pmi interface, pmi.c will just return -ENODEV.

2007-07-19define new percpu interface for shared dataFenghua Yu1-0/+7
per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu, but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus. One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the interface to achieve this is not clean. This patch: Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

2007-07-17sys_fallocate() implementation on i386, x86_64 and powerpcAmit Arora2-1/+3
fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system. Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need to support an inode operation called ->fallocate(). Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the the system becomes full. Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks. ToDos: 1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64, and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches in this take. 2. Changes to glibc, a) to support fallocate() system call b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate() Signed-off-by: Amit Arora <aarora@in.ibm.com>
2007-07-17fbdev: detect primary display deviceAntonino A. Daplas1-0/+6
Add function helper, fb_is_primary_device(). Given struct fb_info, it will return a nonzero value if the device is the primary display. Currently, only the i386 is supported where the function checks for the IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag.

2007-07-17kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0'Tejun Heo1-2/+2
KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero. This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly. * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro is fixed. * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together, MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the trailing '\0'. Fix it.

2007-07-16Introduce compat_u64 and compat_s64 typesArnd Bergmann1-0/+2
One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines. A number of drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as 'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code. Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types, compat_u64 and compat_s64. These are defined on all architectures to have the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: David S.
