* [PATCH] powerpc: Don't start secondary CPUs in a UP && KEXEC kernelMichael Ellerman2006-02-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Because smp_release_cpus() is built for SMP || KEXEC, it's not safe to unconditionally call it from setup_system(). On a UP && KEXEC kernel we'll start up the secondary CPUs which will then go beserk and we die. Simple fix is to conditionally call smp_release_cpus() in setup_system(). With that in place we don't need the dummy definition of smp_release_cpus() because all call sites are #ifdef'ed either SMP or KEXEC.

* powerpc: Keep xtime and gettimeofday in syncPaul Mackerras2006-02-202-187/+99
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a regression which was introduced by moving ppc32 to use the same sort of lockless gettimeofday as ppc64 has been using for some time. This involves getting the timebase and performing some simple arithmetic to convert it to seconds and microseconds. However, the factor and offset used there weren't being updated when NTP varied the tick length using adjtimex. 64-bit didn't notice the problem because it had a hook in the 32-bit adjtimex compat routine that attempted to work out what the generic timekeeping code would do and alter the factor and offset to match. However, that code was very complex and it wasn't clear that it still matched what the generic code would do. Now we use the generic current_tick_length() routine that was recently added to check that the current tick will be as long as we expect; if not we recompute the factor and offset. This keeps gettimeofday and xtime in sync. In addition we check that gettimeofday hasn't got ahead of xtime on each timer interrupt; if it has, we resync.

* [PATCH] powerpc: avoid timer interrupt replay effect when onlining cpuNathan Lynch2006-02-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | When a cpu is hotplug-onlined, if we don't set per_cpu(last_jiffy) to something sane, timer_interrupt will execute its while loop for every tick missed since the cpu was last online (or since the system was booted, if we're adding a new cpu). This can cause weird hangs, ssh sessions dropping, and we can even go xmon if we take a global IPI at the wrong time.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Don't overwrite flat device tree with kdump kernelMichael Ellerman2006-02-072-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's possible for prom_init to allocate the flat device tree inside the kdump crash kernel region. If this happens, when we load the kdump kernel we overwrite the flattened device tree, which is bad. We could make prom_init try and avoid allocating inside the crash kernel region, but then we run into issues if the crash kernel region uses all the space inside the RMO. The easiest solution is to move the flat device tree once we're running in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

If we touch the timer (which just uses the current jiffie value) before we enable interrupts, it does nothing because jiffies are not mass-updated until after we enable interrupts. If we touch the timer after we enable interrupts, its too late because the softlockup watchdog will already have triggered. The touch_softlockup_watchdog call removed below does nothing.

The first is moving a memory barrier below where the vmerged SG count is passed back, but before the list is set to end. If those instructions were reordered, there could be an issue in iommu_unmap_sg(). The second is making sure we terminate the list on the failure case of iommu_map_sg(). If a driver does not look at the failure return code, it could pass a ill-formed SG list to iommu_unmap_sg().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first generation of PCI powermacs had a host bridge called /chaos which was for all intents and purposes a PCI host bridge, but has a device_type of "vci" in the device tree (presumably it's not really PCI at the hardware level or something). The OF parsing stuff in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_parse.c currently doesn't recognize it as a PCI bridge, which means that controlfb.c can't get its device addresses.

* | powerpc: Provide a suitable AT_PLATFORM valuePaul Mackerras2006-01-141-44/+128
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The glibc folks want to use AT_PLATFORM to select between possible alternative versions of shared libraries. This commit makes the kernel supply an AT_PLATFORM string that indicates what class of processor we are running on. Processors with the same set of user-level instructions and roughly the same instruction scheduling characteristics are given the same AT_PLATFORM value; for example, 821, 823 and 860 are all reported as "ppc823", and 7447, 7447A, 7448, 7450, 7451, 7455 are all called "ppc7450". The intention is that the AT_PLATFORM values match the values that gcc accepts for the -mcpu= option. For values which are numeric (e.g. -mcpu=750), "ppc" has been prepended. This also adds a PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE bit to the AT_HWCAP value and sets it for the 440 family and the Freescale 85xx family. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* | [PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACADavid Gibson2006-01-137-40/+53

This doesn't have to be so, the patch below removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures. This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca. The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca address to a local variable for no particular reason.

* | [PATCH] powerpc: Cleanup LOADADDR etc. asm macrosDavid Gibson2006-01-138-69/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch consolidates the variety of macros used for loading 32 or 64-bit constants in assembler (LOADADDR, LOADBASE, SET_REG_TO_*). The idea is to make the set of macros consistent across 32 and 64 bit and to make it more obvious which is the appropriate one to use in a given situation. The new macros and their semantics are described in the comments in ppc_asm.h. In the process, we change several places that were unnecessarily using immediate loads on ppc64 to use the GOT/TOC. Likewise we cleanup a couple of places where we were clumsily subtracting PAGE_OFFSET with asm instructions to use assemble-time arithmetic or the toreal() macro instead.

* | [PATCH] powerpc: Add/remove/update properties in firmware device treeDave C Boutcher2006-01-131-2/+88
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for updating and removing device tree properties. Since we hand out pointers to properties with gay abandon, we can't just free the property storage. Instead we move deleted, or the old copy of an updated property, to a "dead properties" list. Also note, its not feasable to kref device tree properties. we call get_property() all over the kernel in a wild variety of contexts. One consequence of this change is that we now take a read_lock(&devtree_lock) when doing get_property().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 5388fb1025443ec223ba556b10efc4c5f83f8682 made signal_32.c use discard_lazy_cpu_state, which broke ARCH=ppc because that uses the common signal_32.c but has its own process.c. Make ARCH=ppc use the common process.c to fix this and to reduce the amount of duplicated code. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | powerpc: Fixed memory reserve map layout The memory reserve map is suppose to be a pair of 64-bit integers to represent each region. On ppc32 the code was treating the pair as two 32-bit integers. Additional the prom_init code was producing the wrong layout on ppc32. Added a simple check to try to provide backwards compatibility.

| * [PATCH] powerpc: Avoid potential FP corruption with preempt and UPPaul Mackerras2006-01-123-24/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Heikki Lindholm pointed out that there was a potential race with the lazy CPU state (FP, VR, EVR) stuff if preempt is enabled. The race is that in the process of restoring FP state on sigreturn, the task gets preempted by a user task that wants to use the FPU. It will take an FP unavailable exception, which will write the current FPU state to the thread_struct, overwriting the values which sigreturn has stored. Note that this can only happen on UP since we don't implement lazy CPU state on SMP. The fix is to flush the lazy CPU state before updating the thread_struct. To do this we re-use the flush_lazy_cpu_state() function from process.c. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
