2005-12-09[PATCH] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepagesDavid Gibson1-1/+2
On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed. Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation. We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page in question. Tested on G5.

2005-11-25[PATCH] powerpc: More hugepage boundary case fixesDavid Gibson1-6/+11
Blah. The patch [0] I recently sent fixing errors with in_hugepage_area() and prepare_hugepage_range() for powerpc itself has an off-by-one bug. Furthermore, the related functions touches_hugepage_*_range() and within_hugepage_*_range() are also buggy. Some of the bugs, like those addressed in [0] originated with commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 where we tweaked the semantics of where hugepages are allowed. Other bugs have been there essentially forever, and are due to the undefined behaviour of '<<' with shift counts greater than the type width (LOW_ESID_MASK could return non-zero for high ranges with the right congruences). The good news is that I now have a testsuite which should pick up things like this if they creep in again.

2005-11-23[PATCH] powerpc: fix for hugepage areas straddling 4GB boundaryDavid Gibson1-3/+3
Commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 fixed bugs in the ppc64 SLB miss handler with respect to hugepage handling, and in the process tweaked the semantics of the hugepage address masks in mm_context_t. Unfortunately, it left out a couple of necessary changes to go with that change. First, the in_hugepage_area() macro was not updated to match, second prepare_hugepage_range() was not updated to correctly handle hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB point. The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map such a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages() is triggered at the wrong point.

2005-11-18powerpc: Fix delay functions for 601 processorsPaul Mackerras1-38/+2
My earlier merge of delay.h introduced a timebase-based udelay for 32-bit machines but also broke the 601, which doesn't have the timebase register. This fixes it by using the 601's RTC register on the 601, and also moves __delay() and udelay() to be out-of-line in arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c.

The vDSO functions should have the same calling convention as a syscall. Unfortunately, they currently don't set the cr0.so bit which is used to indicate an error. This patch makes them clear this bit unconditionally since all functions currently succeed. The syscall fallback done by some of them will eventually override this if the syscall fails. This also changes the symbol version of all vdso exports to make sure glibc can differenciate between old and fixed calls for existing ones like __kernel_gettimeofday.

I discovered that in some cases (PowerMac for example) we wouldn't properly map the PCI IO space on recent kernels. In addition, the code for initializing PCI host bridges was scattered all over the place with some duplication between platforms. This patch fixes the problem and does a small cleanup by creating a pcibios_alloc_controller() in pci_64.c that is similar to the one in pci_32.c (just takes an additional device node argument) that takes care of all the grunt allocation and initialisation work.

2005-11-14[PATCH] powerpc: Turn cpu_irq_down into kexec_cpu_downMichael Ellerman1-1/+3
We currently have a ppc_md member called cpu_irq_down, which disables IRQs for the cpu in question. The only caller of cpu_irq_down is the kexec code. On pSeries we need to do more than just teardown IRQs at kexec time, so rename the ppc_md member to kexec_cpu_down and expand it. The pSeries code needs to know, and other platforms might too, whether we're doing a crash shutdown (ie. panicking) or a regular kexec, so add a flag for that. The pSeries implementation of kexec_cpu_down does an unregister VPA call, which tells the Hypervisor to stop writing stuff into our pacas. Without this we can get weird memory corruption bugs when we kexec, caused by the Hypervisor writing into the first kernel's pacas which happens to be somewhere interesting in the second kernel's memory.

2005-11-11[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernelBenjamin Herrenschmidt6-73/+196
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier).

Since the udbg code in ppc64 has no ppc32 equivalent, move it straight over into arch/powerpc (and include/asm-powerpc for udbg.h). In time, we probably want to meld the various bits and pieces of 32-bit early debugging code into udbg, but for now only include it on CONFIG_PPC64=y builds. The only change during the move is to standardise the protecting #ifdef/#define in udbg.h, and move its banner comment above the initial #ifdef (which seems to be normal practice).

This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for compatibility across different CPUs or configs. A new header, asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros. It uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files. Headers (bitops.h, uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility macros are changed to use asm-compat.h. ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces that. As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution here than in asm-compat.h. While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't. Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc).

2005-11-10[PATCH] powerpc: Merge cacheflush.h and cache.hDavid Gibson4-1/+155
The ppc32 and ppc64 versions of cacheflush.h were almost identical. The two versions of cache.h are fairly similar, except for a bunch of register definitions in the ppc32 version which probably belong better elsewhere. This patch, therefore, merges both headers. Notable points: - there are several functions in cacheflush.h which exist only on ppc32 or only on ppc64. These are handled by #ifdef for now, but these should probably be consolidated, along with the actual code behind them later. - Confusingly, both ppc32 and ppc64 have a flush_dcache_range(), but they're subtly different: it uses dcbf on ppc32 and dcbst on ppc64, ppc64 has a flush_inval_dcache_range() which uses dcbf. These too should be merged and consolidated later. - Also flush_dcache_range() was defined in cacheflush.h on ppc64, and in cache.h on ppc32. In the merged version it's in cacheflush.h - On ppc32 flush_icache_range() is a normal function from misc.S. On ppc64, it was wrapper, testing a feature bit before calling __flush_icache_range() which does the actual flush. This patch takes the ppc64 approach, which amounts to no change on ppc32, since CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE will never be set there, but does mean renaming flush_icache_range() to __flush_icache_range() in arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S and arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S - The PReP register info from asm-ppc/cache.h has moved to arch/ppc/platforms/prep_setup.c - The 8xx register info from asm-ppc/cache.h has moved to a new asm-powerpc/reg_8xx.h, included from reg.h - flush_dcache_all() was defined on ppc32 (only), but was never called (although it was exported). Thus this patch removes it from cacheflush.h and from ARCH=powerpc (misc_32.S) entirely. It's left in ARCH=ppc for now, with the prototype moved to ppc_ksyms.c.

12-eeh-event-dispatcher.patch ppc64: EEH Recovery dispatcher thread This patch adds a mechanism to create recovery threads when an EEH event is received. Since an EEH freeze state may be detected within an interrupt context, we need to get out of the interrupt context before starting recovery. This dispatcher does this in two steps: first, it uses a workqueue to get out, and then lanuches a kernel thread, so that the recovery routine can sleep for exteded periods without upseting the keventd. A kernel thread is created with each EEH event, rather than having one long-running daemon started at boot time. This is because it is anticipated that EEH events will be very rare (very very rare, ideally) and so its pointless to cluter the process tables with a daemon that will almost never run.

This patch also does some minor janitorial work: it uses some handy macros and cleans up some trailing whitespace in the affected file.
