2008-11-05powerpc: Update page-in counter for CMMBrian King
A new field has been added to the VPA as a method for the client OS to communicate to firmware the number of page-ins it is performing when running collaborative memory overcommit. The hypervisor will use this information to better determine if a partition is experiencing memory pressure and needs more memory allocated to it.

2008-09-15powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executablePaul Mackerras
This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at, since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables, so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.) The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr), where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns 0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running at), which necessitated a few adjustments. This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet). With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical address 0 and run there. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-09-15powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernelPaul Mackerras
This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel. Now, instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top 32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset. This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for the handler with a load from the paca. That makes it unnecessary to have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit mode. We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code, which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to .slb_miss_realmode any more. Instead we have to compute the address and do an indirect branch. This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE; for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before. (A later change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.) Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100 bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is, we can't use a direct branch to get there. Instead this changes __secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer. When it is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function pointed to by that value. Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] Initialize paca->current earlierBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Currently, we initialize the "current" pointer in the PACA (which is used by the "current" macro in the kernel) before calling setup_system(). That means that early_setup() is called with current still "NULL" which is -not- a good idea. It happens to work so far but breaks with lockdep when early code calls printk. This changes it so that all PACAs are statically initialized with __current pointing to the init task. For non-0 CPUs, this is fixed up before use.

2006-08-08[POWERPC] Implement SLB shadow bufferMichael Neuling
This adds a shadow buffer for the SLBs and regsiters it with PHYP. Only the bolted SLB entries (top 3) are shadowed. The SLB shadow buffer tells the hypervisor what the kernel needs to have in the SLB for the kernel to be able to function. The hypervisor can use this information to speed up partition context switches. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-03-27[PATCH] powerpc: Allow non zero boot cpuidsAnton Blanchard
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.

2006-01-13[PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACADavid Gibson
At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures. This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca. The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca address to a local variable for no particular reason.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Remove some unneeded fields from the pacaDavid Gibson
This patch removes several unnecessary fields from the paca: - next_jiffy_update_tb was simply unused. Remove trivially. - The exdsi exception save area was not used. There were plans to use it, but they never seem to have gone anywhere. If they ever do, we can put it back. Remove from the paca, and from asm-offsets.c - The default_decr field was used from asm, but was only ever assigned the value of tb_ticks_per_jiffy. Just access tb_ticks_per_jiffy from asm directly instead. Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR and iSeries RS64.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Remove ItLpRegSave area from the pacaDavid Gibson
On iSeries, the paca contains, amongst other things an ItLpRegSave structure used by the hypervisor to save registers. The hypervisor locates this area through a pointer at the beginning of the paca, so the structure itself can be located elsewhere. This patch moves the reg_save area out into its own array. This reduces the amount of iSeries specific gunk which is visible to general powerpc code via paca.h Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR and iSeries RS64.

2005-11-11[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernelBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-10[PATCH] powerpc: merge code values for identifying platformsPaul Mackerras
This patch merges platform codes. systemcfg->platform is no longer used, systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed _systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch), _machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32. Platform codes aren't gone yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S is also turned into C code.
