* [PATCH] powerpc: Migrate Xilinx Vertex support from the OCP bus to the ↵Grant C. Likely2006-02-076-128/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | platfom bus. This patch only deals with the serial port definitions as there is no support for any other xilinx IP cores in the kernel tree at the moment. Board specific configuration moved out of virtex.[ch] and into the xparameters.h wrapper. This also prepares for the transition to the flattened device tree model. When the bootloader provides a device tree generated from an xparameters.h files, the kernel will no longer need xparameters/*. The platform bus will get populated with data from the device tree, and the device drivers will be automatically connected to the devices. Only the bootloader (or ppcboot) will need xparameters directly. Signed-off-by: Grant C. Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* [PATCH] powerpc: Move xparameters.h into xilinx virtex device specific pathGrant C. Likely2006-02-073-2/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | xparameters should not be needed by anything but virtex platform code. Move it from include/asm-ppc/ to platforms/4xx/xparameters/ This is preparing for work to remove xparameters from the dependancy tree for most c files. xparam changes should not cause a recompile of the world. Instead, drivers should get device info from the platform bus (populated by the boot code) Signed-off-by: Grant C. Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [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.

| | | | | | | | | | | Since 404849bbd2bfd62e05b36f4753f6e1af6050a824 we've been using LOAD_REG_ADDRBASE, which uses the toc pointer, in decrementer_iSeries_masked. This can explode if we take the decrementer interrupt while we're in a module, because the toc pointer in r2 will be the module's toc pointer.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Cleanup, consolidating icache dirtying logicDavid Gibson2006-02-071-12/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code to mark a page as icache dirty (so that it will later be icache-dcache flushed when we try to execute from it) is duplicated in three places: flush_dcache_page() does this marking and nothing else, but clear_user_page() and copy_user_page() duplicate it, since those functions make the page icache dirty themselves. This patch makes those other functions call flush_dcache_page() instead, so the logic's all in one place. This will make life less confusing if we ever need to tweak the details of the the lazy icache flush mechanism. arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c | 14 ++------------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* [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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that we can't stop the watchdog from triggering here. 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.

* [PATCH] powerpc: IOMMU SG paranoiaJake Moilanen2006-02-071-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This addresses two items, which are unlikely to be hit if we trust drivers. 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().

* [PATCH] powerpc: Refuse to boot a kdump kernel via OFMichael Ellerman2006-02-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | You can't boot a kdump kernel via OF, not reliably anyway, the kernel being at 32 MB conflicts with the zImage wrapper etc. and it blows up. It's trivial to check in prom_init though, and this is early enough that we can actually drop back to OF where a reset-all will get you going again, which is kinda nice.

If the calculation stage determines that we need 0 bytes, then we should skip the lmb allocation. Although an alloc of zero will work, it has been seen to lead to a BUG_ON() in reserve_bootmem() on at least one machine.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hack for 2.6.16. In 2.6.17 all code that uses NR_CPUs should be audited and changed to only touch possible CPUs. Don't mark the reference per cpu data init data (so it stays around after boot) and point all impossible CPUs to it. This way they reference some valid - although shared memory. Usually this is only initialization like INIT_LIST_HEADs and there won't be races because these CPUs never run. Still somewhat hackish.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Calibrate APIC timer using PM timerAndi Kleen2006-02-042-6/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some broken motherboards (at least one NForce3 based AMD64 laptop) the PIT timer runs at a incorrect frequency. This patch adds a new option "apicpmtimer" that allows to use the APIC timer and calibrate it using the PMTimer. It requires the earlier patch that allows to run the main timer from the APIC. Specifying apicpmtimer implies apicmaintimer. The option defaults to off for now. I tested it on a few systems and the resulting APIC timer frequencies were usually a bit off, but always <1%, which should be tolerable. TBD figure out heuristic to enable this automatically on the affected systems TBD perhaps do it on all NForce3s or using DMI?

* [PATCH] x86_64: align per-cpu section to configured cache bytesZach Brown2006-02-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Align the start of the per-cpu section to the configured number of bytes in a cache line. This stops a BUG_ON() from triggering in load_module() when DEFINE_PER_CPU() is used in a module and the section isn't cacheline-aligned. Rusty also found this and sent a patch in a while ago (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/19/17), I don't know what came of that.

* [PATCH] x86_64: When allocation of merged SG lists fails in the IOMMU don't ↵Kevin VanMaren2006-02-041-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | merge [ AK: I redid Kevin's fix to be simpler, but the idea and original analysis of the problem is from Kevin] This avoid allocation failures on some SATA systems like Nvidia CK8 when the IOMMU gets fragmented. Modern SATA devices have quite large queues (128 entries) and the FS with ext2/3 is good enough now that it often passes whole 128 page sg lists down to the driver. These require 512K of continuous free space in the IOMMU aperture to map when merged. When the IOMMU is fragmented this could lead to spurious IO errors due to failing mappings. Short term fix is to just try to map the SG list again unmerged page by page - this way fragmentation doesn't matter anymore. The code for that was already there, but it just wasn't enabled for the merge case. According to Kevin at least the Nvidia device doesn't seem to benefit from merging much anyways, so the only slowdown is from trying to do an unnecessary merge attempt. Kevin plans to implement better fragmentation avoidance in the future, but that wouldn't be 2.6.16 material. TBD: should add some statistic counters to count how often that really happens.
