* [POWERPC] Oprofile: Remove dependency on spufs moduleBob Nelson2007-12-281-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | This removes an OProfile dependency on the spufs module. This dependency was causing a problem for multiplatform systems that are built with support for Oprofile on Cell but try to load the oprofile module on a non-Cell system.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Handle errors in SPU coredump code, and support coredump to ↵Michael Ellerman2007-09-191-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a pipe Rework spufs_coredump_extra_notes_write() to check for and return errors. If we're coredumping to a pipe we can't trust file->f_pos, we need to maintain the foffset value passed to us. The cleanest way to do this is to have the low level write routine increment foffset when we've successfully written.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Cleanup ELF coredump extra notes logicMichael Ellerman2007-09-191-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To start with, arch_notes_size() etc. is a little too ambiguous a name for my liking, so change the function names to be more explicit. Calling through macros is ugly, especially with hidden parameters, so don't do that, call the routines directly. Use ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_ELF_NOTES as the only flag, and based on it decide whether we want the extern declarations or the empty versions. Since we have empty routines, actually use them in the coredump code to save a few #ifdefs. We want to change the handling of foffset so that the write routine updates foffset as it goes, instead of using file->f_pos (so that writing to a pipe works). So pass foffset to the write routine, and for now just set it to file->f_pos at the end of writing. It should also be possible for the write routine to fail, so change it to return int and treat a non-zero return as failure.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Combine spufs_coredump_calls with spufs_callsMichael Ellerman2007-09-191-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because spufs might be built as a module, we can't have other parts of the kernel calling directly into it, we need stub routines that check first if the module is loaded. Currently we have two structures which hold callbacks for these stubs, the syscalls are in spufs_calls and the coredump calls are in spufs_coredump_calls. In both cases the logic for registering/unregistering is essentially the same, so we can simplify things by combining the two.

* [POWERPC] cell: Unify spufs syscall pathJeremy Kerr2007-09-191-40/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, a built-in spufs will not use the spufs_calls callbacks, but directly call sys_spu_create. This saves us an indirect branch, but means we have duplicated functions - one for CONFIG_SPU_FS=y and one for =m. This change unifies the spufs syscall path, and provides access to the spufs_calls structure through a get/put pair. At present, the only user of the spufs_calls structure is spu_syscalls.c, but this will facilitate adding the coredump calls later. Everyone likes numbers, right? Here's a before/after comparison with CONFIG_SPU_FS=y, doing spu_create(); close(); 64k times. Before: [jk@cell ~]$ time ./spu_create performing 65536 spu_create calls real 0m24.075s user 0m0.146s sys 0m23.925s After: [jk@cell ~]$ time ./spu_create performing 65536 spu_create calls real 0m24.777s user 0m0.141s sys 0m24.631s So, we're adding around 11us per syscall, at the benefit of having only one syscall path.

* [POWERPC] cell: Fix errno for modular spufs_create with invalid neighbourJeremy Kerr2007-08-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | At present, spu_create with an invalid neighbo(u)r will return -ENOSYS, not -EBADF, but only when spufs.o is built as a module. This change adds the appropriate errno, making the behaviour the same as the built-in case.

* [CELL] spufs: extension of spu_create to support affinity definitionArnd Bergmann2007-07-201-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for additional flags at spu_create, which relate to the establishment of affinity between contexts and contexts to memory. A fourth, optional, parameter is supported. This parameter represent a affinity neighbor of the context being created, and is used when defining SPU-SPU affinity. Affinity is represented as a doubly linked list of spu_contexts. Signed-off-by: Andre Detsch <adetsch@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com>

* [PATCH] spufs: Fix oops when spufs module is not loadedArnd Bergmann2006-01-091-4/+6

* [PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, baseArnd Bergmann2006-01-091-0/+86
This is the current version of the spu file system, used for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine. This release is almost identical to the version for the 2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part of the Cell BE Linux distribution from http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/. The first patch provides all the interfaces for running spu application, but does not have any support for debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these functionalities are added in the subsequent patches. See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use spufs.
