* | [PATCH] powerpc: Workaround for pSeries RTAS bugMike Kravetz2006-03-281-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A bug in the RTAS services incorrectly interprets some bits in the CR when called from the OS. Specifically, bits in CR4. The result could be a firmware crash that also takes down the partition. A firmware fix is in the works. We have seen this situation when performing DLPAR operations. As a temporary workaround, clear the CR in enter_rtas(). Note that enter_rtas() will not set any bits in CR4 before calling RTAS. Also note that the 32 bit version of enter_rtas() should have the same work around even though the chances of hitting the bug are much smaller due to the lack of DLPAR on 32 bit kernels. However, my assembly skills are a bit rusty and the 32 bit code doesn't seem to follow the conventions for where things should be saved. In addition, I don't have a system to test 32 bit kernels. Help creating and at least touch testing the same workaround for 32 bit would be appreciated. Signed-off-by: Mike Kravetz <kravetz@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* | ppc: Remove CHRP, POWER3 and POWER4 support from arch/ppcPaul Mackerras2006-03-2842-9538/+47
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 32-bit CHRP machines are now supported only in arch/powerpc, as are all 64-bit PowerPC processors. This means that we don't use Open Firmware on any platform in arch/ppc any more. This makes PReP support a single-platform option like every other platform support option in arch/ppc now, thus CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is gone from arch/ppc. CONFIG_PPC_PREP is the option that selects PReP support and is generally what has replaced CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM within arch/ppc. _machine is all but dead now, being #defined to 0. Updated Makefiles, comments and Kconfig options generally to reflect these changes. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* powerpc: Fix goof in 6xx and POWER4 idle power-save functionsPaul Mackerras2006-03-282-21/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a mistake I made when editing these functions - when I took out the interrupt disabling code (because interrupts are now disabled by the caller) I left the register that is used for the MSR value to be used during doze/nap uninitialized. This fixes it. Also updated some of the comments in idle_power4.S and removed some code that was copied over from idle_6xx.S but is no longer relevant (we don't ever clear the CPU_FTR_CAN_NAP bit at runtime for POWER4).

* powerpc: Fix event-scan code for 32-bit CHRPPaul Mackerras2006-03-272-20/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On CHRP machines we are supposed to call into firmware (RTAS) periodically, to give it a chance to check for errors and other events. Under ppc we had some special code in timer_interrupt to do this, but that didn't get transferred over to arch/powerpc. Instead, we use an array of timer_list structs, one per CPU, and use add_timer_on to make sure each one gets called on the appropriate CPU. With this we can remove the heartbeat_* elements of the ppc_md struct. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* powerpc: Don't compile in arch/ppc/kernel for 32-bit ARCH=powerpcPaul Mackerras2006-03-272-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All of the things needed for 32-bit ARCH=powerpc builds have now moved to arch/powerpc/kernel, so we don't need to go down into arch/ppc/kernel any more, and we can remove the CONFIG_PPC_MERGE conditional from arch/ppc/kernel/Makefile. There were two files still referenced in the merge section of arch/ppc/kernel/Makefile: ppc-stub.o, depending on CONFIG_KGDB, and dma-mapping.o, depending on CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE. None of the platforms currently in ARCH=powerpc have caches that aren't coherent with DMA, but when we do get one we'll move dma-mapping.c over. As for CONFIG_KGDB, none of the Kconfig files in the tree define it, so I'll let it languish for now. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* powerpc: Simplify pSeries idle loopPaul Mackerras2006-03-271-120/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since pSeries only wants to do something different in the idle loop when there is no work to do, we can simplify the code by implementing ppc_md.power_save functions instead of complete idle loops. There are two versions: one for shared-processor partitions and one for dedicated- processor partitions. With this we also do a cede_processor() call on dedicated processor partitions if the poll_pending() call indicates that the hypervisor has work it wants to do.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Allow non zero boot cpuidsAnton Blanchard2006-03-276-77/+83
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have a hack to flip the boot cpu and its secondary thread to logical cpuid 0 and 1. This means the logical - physical mapping will differ depending on which cpu is boot cpu. This is most apparent on kexec, where we might kexec on any cpu and therefore change the mapping from boot to boot. The patch below does a first pass early on to work out the logical cpuid of the boot thread. We then fix up some paca structures to match. Ive also removed the boot_cpuid_phys variable for ppc64, to be consistent we use get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid) everywhere.

* [PATCH] correct the comment about stackpointer alignment in __boot_from_promOlaf Hering2006-03-271-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The address of variable val in prom_init_stdout is passed to prom_getprop. prom_getprop casts the pointer to u32 and passes it to call_prom in the hope that OpenFirmware stores something there. But the pointer is truncated in the lower bits and the expected value is stored somewhere else. In my testing I had a stackpointer of 0x0023e6b4. val was at offset 120, wich has address 0x0023e72c. But the value passed to OF was 0x0023e728. c00000000040b710: 3b 01 00 78 addi r24,r1,120 ... c00000000040b754: 57 08 00 38 rlwinm r8,r24,0,0,28 ... c00000000040b784: 80 01 00 78 lwz r0,120(r1) ... c00000000040b798: 90 1b 00 0c stw r0,12(r27) ... The stackpointer came from 32bit code. The chain was yaboot -> zImage -> vmlinux PowerMac OpenFirmware does appearently not handle the ELF sections correctly. If yaboot was compiled in /usr/src/packages/BUILD/lilo-10.1.1/yaboot, then the stackpointer is unaligned. But the stackpointer is correct if yaboot is compiled in /tmp/yaboot. This bug triggered since 2.6.15, now prom_getprop is an inline function. gcc clears the lower bits, instead of just clearing the upper 32 bits.

* [PATCH] spufs: enable SPE problem state MMIO access.Mark Nutter2006-03-276-12/+255
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is layered on top of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM and is patterned after direct mapping of LS. This patch allows mmap() of the following regions: "mfc", which represents the area from [0x3000 - 0x3fff]; "cntl", which represents the area from [0x4000 - 0x4fff]; "signal1" which begins at offset 0x14000; "signal2" which begins at offset 0x1c000. The signal1 & signal2 files may be mmap()'d by regular user processes. The cntl and mfc file, on the other hand, may only be accessed if the owning process has CAP_SYS_RAWIO, because they have the potential to confuse the kernel with regard to parallel access to the same files with regular file operations: the kernel always holds a spinlock when accessing registers in these areas to serialize them, which can not be guaranteed with user mmaps, Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] spufs: implement mfc access for PPE-side DMAArnd Bergmann2006-03-278-5/+430
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new file called 'mfc' to each spufs directory. The file accepts DMA commands that are a subset of what would be legal DMA commands for problem state register access. Upon reading the file, a bitmask is returned with the completed tag groups set. The file is meant to be used from an abstraction in libspe that is added by a different patch. From the kernel perspective, this means a process can now offload a memory copy from or into an SPE local store without having to run code on the SPE itself. The transfer will only be performed while the SPE is owned by one thread that is waiting in the spu_run system call and the data will be transferred into that thread's address space, independent of which thread started the transfer.

* [PATCH] spufs: allow SPU code to do syscallsArnd Bergmann2006-03-273-2/+444
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An SPU does not have a way to implement system calls itself, but it can create intercepts to the kernel. This patch uses the method defined by the JSRE interface for C99 host library calls from an SPU to implement Linux system calls. It uses the reserved SPU stop code 0x2104 for this, using the structure layout and syscall numbers for ppc64-linux. I'm still undecided wether it is better to have a list of allowed syscalls or a list of forbidden syscalls, since we can't allow an SPU to call all syscalls that are defined for ppc64-linux. This patch implements the easier choice of them, with a blacklist that only prevents an SPU from calling anything that interacts with its own execution, e.g fork, execve, clone, vfork, exit, spu_run and spu_create and everything that deals with signals.
