2009-06-11asm-generic: rename page.h and uaccess.hArnd Bergmann
The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple (e.g. nommu) architectures.

2009-06-11asm-generic: rename atomic.h to atomic-long.hArnd Bergmann

2009-06-11asm-generic: introduce asm/bitsperlong.hArnd Bergmann
This provides a reliable way for asm-generic/types.h and other files to find out if it is running on a 32 or 64 bit platform. We cannot use CONFIG_64BIT for this in headers that are included from user space because CONFIG symbols are not available there. We also cannot do it inside of asm/types.h because some headers need the word size but cannot include types.h. The solution is to introduce a new header <asm/bitsperlong.h> that defines both __BITS_PER_LONG for user space and BITS_PER_LONG for usage in the kernel. The asm-generic version falls back to 32 bit unless the architecture overrides it, which I did for all 64 bit platforms.

2009-06-11asm-generic: rename termios.h, signal.h and mman.hArnd Bergmann

2009-06-09powerpc: Add support for swiotlb on 32-bitBecky Bruce
This patch includes the basic infrastructure to use swiotlb bounce buffering on 32-bit powerpc. It is not yet enabled on any platforms. Probably the most interesting bit is the addition of addr_needs_map to dma_ops - we need this as a dma_op because the decision of whether or not an addr can be mapped by a device is device-specific.

2009-05-27powerpc: Fix up dma_alloc_coherent() on platforms without cache coherency.Benjamin Herrenschmidt
The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there), or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual address space. This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but grew its own fixes. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Currently, the 32-bit code uses sg->length instead of sg->dma_lentgh to report sg_dma_len. However, since the default dma code for 32-bit (the dma_direct case) sets dma_length and length to the same thing, we should be able to use dma_length there as well. This gets rid of some 32-vs-64-bit ifdefs, and is needed by the swiotlb code which actually distinguishes between dma_length and length.

2009-05-15perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow ↵Paul Mackerras
events This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events, including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified. Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6 field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6) and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier positions. It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR values come from the same instruction. For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not doing instruction sampling. In that case there is no guarantee that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord. Otherwise we supply 0.

2009-05-15perf_counter: powerpc: use u64 for event codes internallyPaul Mackerras
Although the perf_counter API allows 63-bit raw event codes, internally in the powerpc back-end we had been using 32-bit event codes. This expands them to 64 bits so that we can add bits for specifying threshold start/stop events and instruction sampling modes later. This also corrects the return value of can_go_on_limited_pmc; we were returning an event code rather than just a 0/1 value in some circumstances. That didn't particularly matter while event codes were 32-bit, but now that event codes are 64-bit it might, so this fixes it.

2009-04-29perf_counter: powerpc: allow use of limited-function countersPaul Mackerras
POWER5+ and POWER6 have two hardware counters with limited functionality: PMC5 counts instructions completed in run state and PMC6 counts cycles in run state. (Run state is the state when a hardware RUN bit is 1; the idle task clears RUN while waiting for work to do and sets it when there is work to do.) These counters can't be written to by the kernel, can't generate interrupts, and don't obey the freeze conditions. That means we can only use them for per-task counters (where we know we'll always be in run state; we can't put a per-task counter on an idle task), and only if we don't want interrupts and we do want to count in all processor modes. Obviously some counters can't go on a limited hardware counter, but there are also situations where we can only put a counter on a limited hardware counter - if there are already counters on that exclude some processor modes and we want to put on a per-task cycle or instruction counter that doesn't exclude any processor mode, it could go on if it can use a limited hardware counter. To keep track of these constraints, this adds a flags argument to the processor-specific get_alternatives() functions, with three bits defined: one to say that we can accept alternative event codes that go on limited counters, one to say we only want alternatives on limited counters, and one to say that this is a per-task counter and therefore events that are gated by run state are equivalent to those that aren't (e.g. a "cycles" event is equivalent to a "cycles in run state" event). These flags are computed for each counter and stored in the counter->hw.counter_base field (slightly wonky name for what it does, but it was an existing unused field). Since the limited counters don't freeze when we freeze the other counters, we need some special handling to avoid getting skew between things counted on the limited counters and those counted on normal counters. To minimize this skew, if we are using any limited counters, we read PMC5 and PMC6 immediately after setting and clearing the freeze bit. This is done in a single asm in the new write_mmcr0() function. The code here is specific to PMC5 and PMC6 being the limited hardware counters. Being more general (e.g. having a bitmap of limited hardware counter numbers) would have meant more complex code to read the limited counters when freezing and unfreezing the normal counters, with conditional branches, which would have increased the skew. Since it isn't necessary for the code to be more general at this stage, it isn't. This also extends the back-ends for POWER5+ and POWER6 to be able to handle up to 6 counters rather than the 4 they previously handled.

2009-04-28powerpc: ppc32 needs elf_read_implies_exec()Kumar Gala
On ppc64 we implemented elf_read_implies_exec() for 32-bit binaries because old toolchains had bugs where they didn't mark program segments executable that needed to be. For some reason we didn't do this on ppc32 builds. This hadn't been an issue until commit 8d30c14c ("powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3)"), which had as a side effect that we are now enforcing execute permissions to some extent on 32-bit 4xx and Book E processors. This fixes it by defining elf_read_implies_exec on 32-bit to turn on the read-implies-exec behaviour on programs that are sufficiently old that they don't have a PT_GNU_STACK program header.

2009-04-27powerpc: Use __REF macro instead of old .text.init.refok.Tim Abbott
The section .text.init.refok is deprecated and __REF (.ref.text) should be used in assembly files instead. This patch cleans up a few uses of .text.init.refok in the powerpc architecture.

2009-04-22powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on execAndreas Schwab
Now that ppc32 implements address randomization it also wants to inherit personality flags like ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE across exec, for things like `setarch ppc -R' to work. But the ppc32 version of SET_PERSONALITY forcefully sets PER_LINUX, clearing all personality flags. So be careful about preserving the flags.
