| * [PATCH] powerpc: Remove device_node addrs/n_addrBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pre-parsed addrs/n_addrs fields in struct device_node are finally gone. Remove the dodgy heuristics that did that parsing at boot and remove the fields themselves since we now have a good replacement with the new OF parsing code. This patch also fixes a bunch of drivers to use the new code instead, so that at least pmac32, pseries, iseries and g5 defconfigs build.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to print a NUMA cpu summary at boot before the hotplug cpu code was added. This has been useful for catching machine configuration as well as firmware bugs in the past. This patch restores that functionality.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a few places where we need to fix things up for the kernel to work if it's linked at 32MB: - platforms/powermac/smp.c To start secondary cpus on pmac we patch the reset vector, which is fine. Except if we're above 32MB we don't have enough bits for an absolute branch, it needs to relative. - kernel/head_64.s - A few branches in the cpu hold code need to load the full target address and do a bctr. - after_prom_start needs to load PHYSICAL_START as the dest address, not 0. - The exception prolog needs to load the low word of the target adddress, not just the low halfword. - Fixup handling of the initial stab address. - kernel/setup_64.c smp_release_cpus() needs to write 1 to the spinloop flag near 0, not 32 MB.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries. This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1 gazillion for 64-bit. To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET, _not_ KERNELBASE. KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_. If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel you should subtract KERNELBASE.

The powermac udbg stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well, approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations. The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify them in a later patch. For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using "btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a later patch.

| * [PATCH] powerpc: Add OF address parsing code (#2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Parsing addresses extracted from Open Firmware isn't a simple matter. We have various bits of code that try to do it in various place, including some heuristics in prom.c that pre-parse addresses at boot and fill device-nodes "addrs", but those are dodgy at best and I want to deprecate them. So this patch introduces a new set of routines that should be capable of parsing most types of addresses and translating them into CPU physical addresses. It currently works for things on PCI busses and ISA busses and should work on "standard" busses like the root bus or the MacIO bus that don't put funky flags in addresses. If you have other bus types that do use funky flags, you'll have to add new bus type translators, which is fairly easy.

The ppc64 code was checking current_thread_info()->flags twice in the syscall exit path; once for TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A before disabling interrupts, and then again for TIF_SIGPENDING|TIF_NEED_RESCHED etc after disabling interrupts. Now we do the same as ppc32 -- check the flags only once in the fast path, and re-enable interrupts if necessary in the ptrace case. The patch abolishes the 'syscall_noerror' member of struct thread_info and replaces it with a TIF_NOERROR bit in the flags, which is handled in the slow path. This shortens the syscall entry code, which no longer needs to clear syscall_noerror. The patch adds a TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag which causes the syscall exit slow path to save the non-volatile GPRs into a signal frame. This removes the need for the assembly wrappers around sys_sigsuspend(), sys_rt_sigsuspend(), et al which existed solely to save those registers in advance. It also means I don't have to add new wrappers for ppoll() and pselect(), which is what I was supposed to be doing when I got distracted into this... Finally, it unifies the ppc64 and ppc32 methods of handling syscall exit directly into a signal handler (as required by sigsuspend et al) by introducing a TIF_RESTOREALL flag which causes _all_ the registers to be reloaded from the pt_regs by taking the ret_from_exception path, instead of the normal syscall exit path which stomps on the callee-saved GPRs. It appears to pass an LTP test run on ppc64, and passes basic testing on ppc32 too. Brief tests of ptrace functionality with strace and gdb also appear OK.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch merges, to some extent, the PPC32 and PPC64 kexec implementations. We adopt the PPC32 approach of having ppc_md callbacks for the kexec functions. The current PPC64 implementation becomes the "default" implementation for PPC64 which platforms can select if they need no special treatment. I've added these default callbacks to pseries/maple/cell/powermac, this means iSeries no longer supports kexec - but it never worked anyway. I've renamed PPC32's machine_kexec_simple to default_machine_kexec, inline with PPC64. Judging by the comments it might be better named machine_kexec_non_of, or something, but at the moment it's the only implementation for PPC32 so it's the "default". Kexec requires machine_shutdown(), which is in machine_kexec.c on PPC32, but we already have in setup-common.c on powerpc. All this does is call ppc_md.nvram_sync, which only powermac implements, so instead make machine_shutdown a ppc_md member and have it call core99_nvram_sync directly on powermac. I've also stuck relocate_kernel.S into misc_32.S for powerpc. Built for ARCH=ppc, and 32 & 64 bit ARCH=powerpc, with KEXEC=y/n. Booted on P5 LPAR and successfully kexec'ed.

| * powerpc: correct register usage in 64-bit syscall exit pathPaul Mackerras2005-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we don't restore the volatile registers in the syscall exit path, we need to make sure we don't leak any potentially interesting values from the kernel to userspace. This was already the case for all except r11. This makes it use r11 for an MSR value, so r11 will have an (uninteresting) MSR value in it on return to userspace.

* [PATCH] kprobes: increment kprobe missed count for multiprobesKeshavamurthy Anil S2005-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When multiple probes are registered at the same address and if due to some recursion (probe getting triggered within a probe handler), we skip calling pre_handlers and just increment nmissed field. The below patch make sure it walks the list for multiple probes case. Without the below patch we get incorrect results of nmissed count for multiple probe case.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Set cache info defaultsOlof Johansson2005-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cache info is setup by walking the device tree in initialize_cache_info(). However, icache_flush_range might be called before that, in slb_initialize()->patch_slb_encoding, which modifies the load immediate instructions used with SLB fault code. Not only that, but depending on memory layout, we might take SLB faults during unflatten_device_tree. So that fault will load an SLB entry that might not contain the right LLP flags for the segment. Either we can walk the flattened device tree to setup cache info, or we can pick the known defaults that are known to work. Doing it in the flattened device tree is hairier since we need to know the machine type to know what property to look for, etc, etc. For now, it's just easier to go with the defaults. Worst thing that happens from it is that we might waste a few cycles doing too small dcbst/icbi increments.

* powerpc: Fix bug causing FP registers corruption on UP + preemptPaul Mackerras2005-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a bug noticed by Paolo Galtieri and fixed for ARCH=ppc in the previous commit (ppc: fix floating point register corruption). This fixes the arch/powerpc code by adding preempt_disable/enable, and also cleans it up a bit by pulling out the code that discards any lazily-switched CPU register state into a new function, rather than having that code repeated in three places.

* powerpc: Export __flush_icache_range for 32-bitPaul Mackerras2005-11-29
| | | | | | | Both 32-bit and 64-bit use the same inline flush_icache_range definition now, so both need to export __flush_icache_range, not just 64-bit. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logicLinus Torvalds2005-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP. It allows a VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM never touches, and never considers to be normal pages. Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or indeed mark them any other way. It just works. As a side effect, doing mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges. Sparc update from David in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
