* [PATCH] ppc32: 8xx avoid icbi misbehaviour in __flush_dcache_icache_physAnton Wöllert2005-07-271-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 8xx, in the case where a pagefault happens for a process who's not the owner of the vma in question (ptrace for instance), the flush operation is performed via the physical address. Unfortunately, that results in a strange, unexplainable "icbi" instruction fault, most likely due to a CPU bug (see oops below). Avoid that by flushing the page via its kernel virtual address. Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#2] NIP: C000543C LR: C000B060 SP: C0F35DF0 REGS: c0f35d40 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted MSR: 00009022 EE: 1 PR: 0 FP: 0 ME: 1 IR/DR: 10 DAR: 00000010, DSISR: C2000000 TASK = c0ea8430[761] 'gdbserver' THREAD: c0f34000 Last syscall: 26 GPR00: 00009022 C0F35DF0 C0EA8430 00F59000 00000100 FFFFFFFF 00F58000 00000001 GPR08: C021DAEF C0270000 00009032 C0270000 22044024 10025428 01000800 00000001 GPR16: 007FFF3F 00000001 00000000 7FBC6AC0 00F61022 00000001 C0839300 C01E0000 GPR24: 00CD0889 C082F568 3000AC18 C02A7A00 C0EA15C8 00F588A9 C02ACB00 C02ACB00 NIP [c000543c] __flush_dcache_icache_phys+0x38/0x54 LR [c000b060] flush_dcache_icache_page+0x20/0x30 Call trace: [c000b154] update_mmu_cache+0x7c/0xa4 [c005ae98] do_wp_page+0x460/0x5ec [c005c8a0] handle_mm_fault+0x7cc/0x91c [c005ccec] get_user_pages+0x2fc/0x65c [c0027104] access_process_vm+0x9c/0x1d4 [c00076e0] sys_ptrace+0x240/0x4a4 [c0002bd0] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x44 Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <marcelo.tosatti@cyclades.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] 8xx: avoid "dcbst" misbehaviour with unpopulated TLBMarcelo Tosatti2005-06-271-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The proposed _tlbie call at update_mmu_cache() is safe because: Addresses for which update_mmu_cache() gets invocated are never inside the static kernel virtual mapping, meaning that there is no risk for the _tlbie() here to be thrashing the pinned entry, as Dan suspected. The intermediate TLB state in which this bug can be triggered is not visible by userspace or any other contexts, except the page fault handling path. So there is no need to worry about userspace dcbxxx users. The other solution to this is to avoid dcbst misbehaviour in the first place, which involves changing in-kernel "dcbst" callers to use 8xx specific SPR's. Summary: On 8xx, cache control instructions (particularly "dcbst" from flush_dcache_icache) fault as write operation if there is an unpopulated TLB entry for the address in question. To workaround that, we invalidate the TLB here, thus avoiding dcbst misbehaviour.

* [PATCH] ppc32: Add support for Freescale e200 (Book-E) coreKumar Gala2005-06-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The e200 core is a Book-E core (similar to e500) that has a unified L1 cache and is not cache coherent on the bus. The e200 core also adds a separate exception level for debug exceptions. Part of this patch helps to cleanup a few cases that are true for all Freescale Book-E parts, not just e500.

* [PATCH] ppc32: Kill embedded system.map, use kallsymsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-06-211-15/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch kills the whole embedded System.map mecanism and the bootloader-passed System.map that was used to provide symbol resolution in xmon. Instead, xmon now uses kallsyms like ppc64 does. No hurry getting that in Linus tree, let it be tested in -mm for a while first and make sure it doesn't break various embedded configs.

| | | | | | | | | | | Made the number of TLB CAM entries private and converted the board consumers to use num_tlbcam_entries which is setup at boot time from configuration registers. This way the only consumers of the #define NUM_TLBCAMS are the arrays used to manage the TLB.

* [PATCH] ppc32: don't call progress functions after bootPaul Mackerras2005-05-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On ppc32, the platform code can supply a "progress" function that is used to show progress through the boot. These functions are usually in an init section and so can't be called after the init pages are freed. Now that the cpu bringup code can be called after the system is booted (for hotplug cpu) we can get the situation where the progress function can be called after boot. The simple fix is to set the progress function pointer to NULL when the init pages are freed, and that is what this patch does (note that all callers already check whether the function pointer is NULL before trying to call it).

* [PATCH] ppc32: make usage of CONFIG_PTE_64BIT & CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT consistentKumar Gala2005-04-161-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_PTE_64BIT & CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT are not currently consistently used in the code base. Fixed up the usage such that CONFIG_PTE_64BIT is used when we have a 64-bit PTE regardless of physical address width. CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is used if the physical address width is larger than 32-bits, regardless of PTE size. These changes required a few sub-arch specific ifdef's to be fixed and the introduction of a physical address format string.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-1614-0/+3589
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
