* [MIPS] Do not use -msym32 option for modules.Atsushi Nemoto2006-11-021-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | On 64-bit kernel, modules are loaded into XKSEG for now. While XKSEG address is not a sign-extended 32-bit address, we can not use -msym32 option. Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

* [PATCH] powerpc: Eliminate "exceeds stub group size" linker warningPaul Mackerras2006-11-011-12/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that the linker warnings on 64-bit powerpc about "section blah exceeds stub group size" were being triggered by conditional branches in head_64.S branching to global symbols, whether in head_64.S or in other files. This eliminates the warnings by making some global symbols in head_64.S no longer global, and by rearranging some branches. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> [ Yee-haa.

* | i386: write IO APIC irq routing entries in correct orderLinus Torvalds2006-11-011-3/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the "mask" bit is in the low word, when we write a new entry, we need to write the high word first, before we potentially unmask it. The exception is when we actually want to mask the interrupt, in which case we want to write the low word first to make sure that the high word doesn't change while the interrupt routing is still active.

* | i386: clean up io-apic accessesLinus Torvalds2006-11-011-0/+40
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | This is preparation for fixing the ordering of the accesses that got broken by the commit cf4c6a2f27f5db810b69dcb1da7f194489e8ff88 when factoring out the "common" io apic routing entry accesses. Move the accessor function (that were only used by io_apic.c) out of a header file, and use proper memory-mapped accesses rather than making up our own "volatile" pointers.

* [POWERPC] Make alignment exception always check exception tableBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-11-012-16/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | The alignment exception used to only check the exception table for -EFAULT, not for other errors. That opens an oops window if we can coerce the kernel into getting an alignment exception for other reasons in what would normally be a user-protected accessor, which can be done via some of the futex ops. This fixes it by always checking the exception tables. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [POWERPC] Disallow kprobes on emulate_step and branch_takenGui,Jian2006-11-011-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | On powerpc, probing on emulate_step function will crash 2.6.18.1 when it is triggered. When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and will cause recursive kprobe fault. And branch_taken() is called in emulate_step(). This disallows kprobes on both of them.

| | | | | | | | | | | Checking source for other get_paca()->field preemption dangers found that open_high_hpage_areas does a structure copy into its paca while preemption is enabled: unsafe however gcc accomplishes it.

* [POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systemsLinas Vepstas2006-11-016-78/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by numerous error messages: iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1 Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card. This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE and then uses this in all the places that matter. As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW is still 4k). In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW page sizes in the iommu itself.

* [POWERPC] Fix oprofile support for e500 in arch/powerpcAndy Fleming2006-11-019-263/+149
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed a compile error in building the 85xx support with oprofile, and in the process cleaned up some issues with the fsl_booke performance monitor code. * Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450 wouldn't be built if the e500 was, and cleaned it up so it was more self-contained. * Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E. The original cpu_setup function prototype had no arguments, assuming that the reg_setup function would copy the required information into variables which represented the registers. This was silly for e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for all counters), so the code has been restructured to have cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument, with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument. The argument is ignored on all other platforms at present. * Fixed a confusing line where a trinary operator only had two arguments Signed-off-by: Andrew Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [POWERPC] Fix various offb issuesBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-11-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a few issues in offb: - A test was inverted causing the palette hack to never work (no device node was passed down to the init function) - Some cards seem to have their assigned-addresses property in a random order, thus we need to try using of_get_pci_address() first, which will fail if it's not a PCI device, and fallback to of_get_address() in that case. of_get_pci_address() properly parsees assigned-addresses to test the BAR number and thus will get it right whatever the order is. - Some cards (like GXT4500) provide a linebytes of 0xffffffff in the device-tree which does no good. This patch handles that by using the screen width when that happens. (Also fixes btext.c while at it). - Add detection of the GXT4500 in addition to the GXT2000 for the palette hacks (we use the same hack, palette is linear in register space at offset 0x6000).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The information in MCA records is filled in slightly differently on Montecito than on Madison/McKinley. Usually, the cache check and bus check target identifiers have the same address. On Montecito the cache check and bus check target identifiers can be different if a corrected error (ie SBE or unconsumed poison data) was encountered and then an uncorrected error (ie DBE) was consumed. In that case, the cache check target identifier is the physical address of the DBE (that caused the MCA to surface) while the bus check target identifier is the physical address of the SBE. This patch correctly finds the target identifier that triggered the MCA. If there are multiple valid cache target identifiers in the same error record then use the one with the lowest cache level.

* | | | [PATCH] uml ubd driver: ubd_io_lock usage fixupPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-10-311-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add some comments about requirements for ubd_io_lock and expand its use. When an irq signals that the "controller" (i.e. another thread on the host, which does the actual requests and is the only one blocked on I/O on the host) has done some work, we call again the request function ourselves (do_ubd_request). We now do that with ubd_io_lock held - that's useful to protect against concurrent calls to elv_next_request and so on. XXX: Maybe we shouldn't call at all the request function. Input needed on this. Are we supposed to plug and unplug the queue? That code "indirectly" does that by setting a flag, called do_ubd, which makes the request function return (it's a residual of 2.4 block layer interface). Meanwhile, however, merge this patch, which improves things.
