2005-08-29[PATCH] ppc64: unflatten_device_tree() should check if lmb_alloc() failsMichael Ellerman
unflatten_device_tree() doesn't check if lmb_alloc() succeeds or not, it should. All it can do is panic, but at least there's an error message (assuming you have some sort of console at that point).

2005-08-29[PATCH] ppc64: allow xmon=offOlaf Hering
If both CONFIG_XMON and CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is enabled in the .config, there is no way to disable xmon again. setup_system calls first xmon_init, later parse_early_param.

2005-08-29[PATCH] ppc64: Remove CONFIG_MSCHUNKSMichael Ellerman
We can now remove CONFIG_MSCHUNKS as it doesn't do anything interesting anymore. The only macro in abs_addr.h which is called by non-iSeries code is phys_to_abs(), so remove the other dummy implementations, and we add a firmware feature check to phys_to_abs().

2005-08-29[PATCH] ppc64: Simplify some lmb functionsMichael Ellerman
lmb_phys_mem_size() can always return lmb.memory.size, as long as it's called after lmb_analyze(), which it is. There's no need to recalculate the size on every call. lmb_analyze() was calculating a few things we then threw away, so just don't calculate them to start with.

2005-08-29[PATCH] ppc64: Remove redundant abs_to_phys() macroMichael Ellerman
abs_to_phys() is a macro that turns out to do nothing, and also has the unfortunate property that it's not the inverse of phys_to_abs() on iSeries. The following is for my benefit as much as everyone else. With CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled, the lmb code is changed such that it keeps a physbase variable for each lmb region. This is used to take the possibly discontiguous lmb regions and present them as a contiguous address space beginning from zero. In this context each lmb region's base address is its "absolute" base address, and its physbase is it's "physical" address (from Linux's point of view). The abs_to_phys() macro does the mapping from "absolute" to "physical". Note: This is not related to the iSeries mapping of physical to absolute (ie. Hypervisor) addresses which is maintained with the msChunks structure. And the msChunks structure is not controlled via CONFIG_MSCHUNKS. Once upon a time you could compile for non-iSeries with CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled. But these days CONFIG_MSCHUNKS depends on CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES, so for non-iSeries code abs_to_phys() is a no-op. On iSeries we always have one lmb region which spans from 0 to systemcfg->physicalMemorySize (arch/ppc64/kernel/iSeries_setup.c line 383). This region has a base (ie. absolute) address of 0, and a physbase address of 0 (as calculated in lmb_analyze() (arch/ppc64/kernel/lmb.c line 144)). On iSeries, abs_to_phys(aa) is defined as lmb_abs_to_phys(aa), which finds the lmb region containing aa (and there's only one, ie. 0), and then does: return lmb.memory.region[0].physbase + (aa - lmb.memory.region[0].base) physbase == base == 0, so you're left with "return aa". So remove abs_to_phys(), and lmb_abs_to_phys() which is the implementation of abs_to_phys() for iSeries.

2005-08-29[PATCH] ppc64: Remove redundant use of pointers in lmb codeMichael Ellerman
The lmb code is all written to use a pointer to an lmb struct. But it's always the same lmb struct, called "lmb". So we take the address of lmb, call it _lmb and then start using _lmb->foo everywhere, which is silly. This patch removes the _lmb pointers and replaces them with direct references to the one "lmb" struct. We do the same for some _mem and _rsv pointers which point to lmb.memory and lmb.reserved respectively. This patch looks quite busy, but it's basically just: s/_lmb->/lmb./g s/_mem->/lmb.memory./g s/_rsv->/lmb.reserved./g s/_rsv/&lmb.reserved/g s/mem->/lmb.memory./g Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2005-08-29[PATCH] ppc64: msChunks cleanupsMichael Ellerman
Chunks are 256KB, so use constants for the size/shift/mask, rather than getting them from the msChunks struct. The iSeries debugger (??) might still need access to the values in the msChunks struct, so we keep them around for now, but set them from the constant values. Replace msChunks_entry typedef with regular u32. Simplify msChunks_alloc() to manipulate klimit directly, rather than via a parameter.

2005-08-29[PATCH] Move variables in ppc64 head.S from .data to .bssDavid Gibson
The ppc64 head.S defines several zero-initialized structures, such as the empty_zero_page and the kernel top-level pagetable. Currently they are defined to be in the data section.

2005-08-29[PATCH] Fix apparent code overlap in ppc64 head.SDavid Gibson
An #if/#else construct near the top of ppc64's head.S appears to create overlapping sections of code for iSeries and pSeries (i.e. one thing on iSeries and something different in the same place on pSeries). In fact, checking the various absolute offsets, it doesn't. This patch unravels the #ifdefs to make it more obvious what's going on.

2005-08-29[PATCH] Change address of ppc64 initial segment tableDavid Gibson
On ppc64 machines with segment tables, CPU0's segment table is at a fixed address, currently 0x9000. This patch moves it to the free space at 0x6000, just below the fwnmi data area.

2005-08-29[PATCH] Move iSeries and common vectors into unused space in head.SDavid Gibson
In the ppc64 kernel head.S there is currently quite a lot of unused space between the naca (at fixed address 0x4000) and the fwnmi data area (at fixed address 0x7000). This patch moves various exception vectors and support code into this region to use the wasted space. The functions load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec are moved down as well, since they are essentially continuations of the fp_unavailable_common and altivec_unavailable_common vectors, respectively. Likewise, the fwnmi vectors themselves are moved down into this area, because while the location of the fwnmi data area is fixed by the RPA, the vectors themselves can be anywhere sufficiently low.

2005-08-29[PATCH] Remove NACA fixed address constraintDavid Gibson
Comments in head.S suggest that the iSeries naca has a fixed address, because tools expect to find it there. The only tool which appears to access the naca is addRamDisk, but both the in-kernel version and the version used in RHEL and SuSE in fact locate the NACA the same way as the hypervisor does, by following the pointer in the hvReleaseData structure. Since the requirement for a fixed address seems to be obsolete, this patch removes the naca from head.S and replaces it with a normal C initializer. For good measure, it removes an old version of addRamDisk.c which was sitting, unused, in the ppc32 tree.

2005-08-29[PATCH] ppc64: change duplicate Kconfig menu "General setup" to "Bus Options"Frank Rowand
arch/ppc64/Kconfig defines a "General setup" menu, but also sources init/Kconfig which also defines a "General setup" menu. Both of these menus appear at the top level of make menuconfig. Having two menus with the same name is confusing. This patch renames the ppc64/Kconfig menu to be "Bus Options" and moves options in this menu which are not bus related to the end of the "Platform support" menu. There are many variations among architectures on the exact naming of the "Bus Options" menu. I chose to use the simplest one, which is also used in arch/ppc/Kconfig.

2005-08-29[PATCH] Four level pagetables for ppc64David Gibson
Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64 This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T). The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level, and a quarter page for the intermediate levels. It uses full 64-bit pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of physical memory. This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.

2005-08-27[PATCH] Remove race between con_open and con_closePaul Mackerras
[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ] I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL. What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626). So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2, as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called. Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses. The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't oops.

2005-08-26[PATCH] Fix oops in sysfs_hash_and_remove_file()James Bottomley
The problem arises if an entity in sysfs is created and removed without ever having been made completely visible. In SCSI this is triggered by removing a device while it's initialising. The problem appears to be that because it was never made visible in sysfs, the sysfs dentry has a null d_inode which oopses when a reference is made to it. The solution is simply to check d_inode and assume the object was never made visible (and thus doesn't need deleting) if it's NULL. (akpm: possibly a stopgap for 2.6.13 scsi problems.
