* powerpc: Merge i8259.c into arch/powerpc/sysdevPaul Mackerras2005-10-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the parameters for i8259_init so that it takes two parameters: a physical address for generating an interrupt acknowledge cycle, and an interrupt number offset. i8259_init now sets the irq_desc[] for its interrupts; all the callers were doing this, and that code is gone now. This also defines a CONFIG_PPC_I8259 symbol to select i8259.o for inclusion, and makes the platforms that need it select that symbol. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* [PATCH] powerpc: some prom.c cleanupsKumar Gala2005-10-261-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On !CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM _machine is defined as 0. This is ok, but we can't assign a value to _machine then. We may not have CONFIG_PCI available, so only build in support for find_parent_pci_resource(), request_OF_resource(), release_OF_resource() if PCI is enabled. This is probably not the long term fix but works out for now. Make reg_property64 contain 64-bit elements on a 32-bit machine. Mark the deprecated prom.c functions as __deprecated.

* powerpc: Fix time code for 601 processorsPaul Mackerras2005-10-231-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | The 601 doesn't have the timebase register; instead it has an RTCL register that counts nanoseconds and wraps at 1000000000, and an RTCU register that counts seconds. This makes the necessary changes for the merged time code to use the RTCL/U registers when the kernel is running on a 601. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit, alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit is the only api used for swiotlb. The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a cleanup. With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64 arches.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hugetlb pages are currently pre-faulted. At the time of mmap of hugepages, we populate the new PTEs. It is possible that HW has already cached some of the unused PTEs internally. These stale entries never get a chance to be purged in existing control flow. This patch extends the check in page fault code for hugepages. Check if a faulted address falls with in size for the hugetlb file backing it. We return VM_FAULT_MINOR for these cases (assuming that the arch specific page-faulting code purges the stale entry for the archs that need it).

| * [PATCH] aio: revert lock_kiocb()Zach Brown2005-10-171-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lock_kiocb() was introduced to serialize retrying and cancellation. In the process of doing so it tried to sleep waiting for KIF_LOCKED while holding the ctx_lock spinlock. Recent fixes have ensured that multiple concurrent retries won't be attempted for a given iocb. Cancel has other problems and has no significant in-tree users that have been complaining about it. So for the immediate future we'll revert sleeping with the lock held and will address proper cancellation and retry serialization in the future.

For example, #define list_for_each_rcu(pos, head) \ for (pos = (head)->next; prefetch(pos->next), pos != (head); \ pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next)) It will go something like: pos = (head)->next prefetch(pos->next) pos != (head) do stuff We're missing a barrier here. pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next) fetch pos->next barrier given by rcu_dereference(pos->next) store pos Without the missing barrier, the pos->next value may turn out to be stale. In fact, if "do stuff" were also dereferencing pos and relying on list_for_each_rcu to provide the barrier then it may also break.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ... otherwise, things like alpha and sparc64 break and break badly. They define cpu_possible_map to something else in smp.h *AFTER* having included cpumask.h. If that puppy is a macro, expansion will happen at the actual caller, when we'd already seen #define cpu_possible_map ... and we will get the right thing used. As an inline helper it will be tokenized before we get to that define and that's it; no matter what we define later, it won't affect anything. We get modules with dependency on cpu_possible_map instead of the right symbol (phys_cpu_present_map in case of sparc64), or outright link errors if they are built-in.

However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on the wrong CPU... This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current processor doesn't have a standard timebase. It's negative logic so that glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to update glibc & kernel at the same time).

| * | [PATCH] ppc32: Fix timekeepingBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-10-121-1/+1
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interestingly enough, ppc32 had broken timekeeping for ages... It worked, but probably drifted a bit more than could be explained by the actual bad precision of the timebase calibration. We discovered that recently when somebody figured out that the common code was using CLOCK_TICK_RATE to correct the timekeeing, and ppc32 had a completely bogus value for it. This patch turns it into something saner. Probably not as good as doing something based on the actual timebase frequency precision but I'll leave that sort of math to others. This at least makes it better for the common HZ values. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* | powerpc: Merge in 64-bit powermac support.Paul Mackerras2005-10-223-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This brings in a lot of changes from arch/ppc64/kernel/pmac_*.c to arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/*.c and makes various minor tweaks elsewhere. On the powermac we now initialize ppc_md by copying the whole pmac_md structure into it, which required some changes in the ordering of initializations of individual fields of it.
