Initialise the ppc_md htab callbacks earlier, in the probe routines. This allows us to call htab_finish_init() from htab_initialize(), and makes it private to hash_utils_64.c.

2006-05-19[PATCH] powerpc: Unify mem= handlingMichael Ellerman
We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can clean this mess up. Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it. This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well. Tested on P5 LPAR, iSeries, F50, 44p. Tested moving device tree on P5 and 44p and F50. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-05-19[PATCH] powerpc: Parse early parameters earlierMichael Ellerman
Currently we have call parse_early_param() earliyish, but not really very early. In particular, it's not early enough to do things like mem=x or crashkernel=blah, which is annoying. So do it earlier. I've checked all the early param handlers, and none of them look like they should have any trouble with this. I haven't tested the booke_wdt ones though. On 32-bit we were doing the CONFIG_CMDLINE logic twice, so don't. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-04-28[PATCH] powerpc: Use check_legacy_ioport() on ppc32 too.David Woodhouse
Some people report that we die on some Macs when we are expecting to catch machine checks after poking at some random I/O address. I'd seen it happen on my dual G4 with serial ports until we fixed those to use OF, but now other users are reporting it with i8042.

2006-04-02[PATCH] powerpc: iSeries needs slb_initialize to be calledStephen Rothwell
Since the powerpc 64k pages patch went in, systems that have SLBs (like Power4 iSeries) needed to have slb_initialize called to set up some variables for the SLB miss handler. This was not being called on the boot processor on iSeries, so on single cpu iSeries machines, we would get apparent memory curruption as soon as we entered user mode. This patch fixes that by calling slb_initialize on the boot cpu if the processor has an SLB. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-03-29[PATCH] for_each_possible_cpu: powerpcKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and possibly buggy.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.

2006-03-27[PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

This unifies the 32-bit (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and 64-bit idle loops.

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.

2006-02-20[PATCH] powerpc: Don't start secondary CPUs in a UP && KEXEC kernelMichael Ellerman
Because smp_release_cpus() is built for SMP || KEXEC, it's not safe to unconditionally call it from setup_system(). On a UP && KEXEC kernel we'll start up the secondary CPUs which will then go beserk and we die. Simple fix is to conditionally call smp_release_cpus() in setup_system(). With that in place we don't need the dummy definition of smp_release_cpus() because all call sites are #ifdef'ed either SMP or KEXEC.

2006-02-07[PATCH] powerpc: Don't overwrite flat device tree with kdump kernelMichael Ellerman
It's possible for prom_init to allocate the flat device tree inside the kdump crash kernel region. If this happens, when we load the kdump kernel we overwrite the flattened device tree, which is bad. We could make prom_init try and avoid allocating inside the crash kernel region, but then we run into issues if the crash kernel region uses all the space inside the RMO. The easiest solution is to move the flat device tree once we're running in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-11[PATCH] powerpc/64: per cpu data optimisationsAnton Blanchard
The current ppc64 per cpu data implementation is quite slow. eg: lhz 11,18(13) /* smp_processor_id() */ ld 9,.LC63-.LCTOC1(30) /* per_cpu__variable_name */ ld 8,.LC61-.LCTOC1(30) /* __per_cpu_offset */ sldi 11,11,3 /* form index into __per_cpu_offset */ mr 10,9 ldx 9,11,8 /* __per_cpu_offset[smp_processor_id()] */ ldx 0,10,9 /* load per cpu data */ 5 loads for something that is supposed to be fast, pretty awful. One reason for the large number of loads is that we have to synthesize 2 64bit constants (per_cpu__variable_name and __per_cpu_offset). By putting __per_cpu_offset into the paca we can avoid the 2 loads associated with it: ld 11,56(13) /* paca->data_offset */ ld 9,.LC59-.LCTOC1(30) /* per_cpu__variable_name */ ldx 0,9,11 /* load per cpu data Longer term we can should be able to do even better than 3 loads. If per_cpu__variable_name wasnt a 64bit constant and paca->data_offset was in a register we could cut it down to one load. A suggestion from Rusty is to use gcc's __thread extension here. In order to do this we would need to free up r13 (the __thread register and where the paca currently is). So far Ive had a few unsuccessful attempts at doing that :) The patch also allocates per cpu memory node local on NUMA machines. This patch from Rusty has been sitting in my queue _forever_ but stalled when I hit the compiler bug. Sorry about that. Finally I also only allocate per cpu data for possible cpus, which comes straight out of the x86-64 port. On a pseries kernel (with NR_CPUS == 128) and 4 possible cpus we see some nice gains: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 4012228 212860 3799368 0 0 162424 total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 4016200 212984 3803216 0 0 162424 A saving of 3.75MB. Quite nice for smaller machines. Note: we now have to be careful of per cpu users that touch data for !possible cpus. At this stage it might be worth making the NUMA and possible cpu optimisations generic, but per cpu init is done so early we have to be careful that all architectures have their possible map setup correctly.

2006-01-11[PATCH] powerpc: Make early debugging configurable via KconfigMichael Ellerman
This patch adds Kconfig entries to control the early debugging options, currently in setup_64.c. Doing this via Kconfig rather than #defines means you can have one source tree, which is buildable for multiple platforms - and you can enable the correct early debug option for each platform via .config.

There's a few places where we need to fix things up for the kernel to work if it's linked at 32MB: - platforms/powermac/smp.c To start secondary cpus on pmac we patch the reset vector, which is fine. Except if we're above 32MB we don't have enough bits for an absolute branch, it needs to relative. - kernel/head_64.s - A few branches in the cpu hold code need to load the full target address and do a bctr. - after_prom_start needs to load PHYSICAL_START as the dest address, not 0. - The exception prolog needs to load the low word of the target adddress, not just the low halfword. - Fixup handling of the initial stab address. - kernel/setup_64.c smp_release_cpus() needs to write 1 to the spinloop flag near 0, not 32 MB.

The powermac udbg stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well, approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations. The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify them in a later patch. For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using "btextdbg" on powermacs.

2005-12-09[PATCH] powerpc: Set cache info defaultsOlof Johansson
Cache info is setup by walking the device tree in initialize_cache_info(). However, icache_flush_range might be called before that, in slb_initialize()->patch_slb_encoding, which modifies the load immediate instructions used with SLB fault code. Not only that, but depending on memory layout, we might take SLB faults during unflatten_device_tree. So that fault will load an SLB entry that might not contain the right LLP flags for the segment. Either we can walk the flattened device tree to setup cache info, or we can pick the known defaults that are known to work. Doing it in the flattened device tree is hairier since we need to know the machine type to know what property to look for, etc, etc. For now, it's just easier to go with the defaults. Worst thing that happens from it is that we might waste a few cycles doing too small dcbst/icbi increments.

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).

2005-11-06[PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pagesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently. Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the information from the newer hypervisors.

2005-11-05powerpc: Merge smp.c and smp.hPaul Mackerras
This also moves setup_cpu_maps to setup-common.c (calling it smp_setup_cpu_maps) and uses it on both 32-bit and 64-bit. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-04powerpc: Implement smp_release_cpus() in C not asmMichael Ellerman
There's no reason for smp_release_cpus() to be asm, and most people can make more sense of C code. Add an extern declaration to smp.h and remove the custom one in machine_kexec.c Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>

The official name for BPA is now CBEA (Cell Broadband Engine Architecture). This patch renames all occurences of the term BPA to 'Cell' for easier recognition. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-01powerpc: make mem= work on iSeries againStephen Rothwell
By parsing the command line earlier, we can add the mem= value to the flattened device tree and let the generic code sort out the memory limit for us. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
2005-10-31powerpc: Fix bug arising from having multiple memory_limit variablesPaul Mackerras
We had a static memory_limit in prom.c, and then another one defined in setup_64.c and used in numa.c, which resulted in the kernel crashing when mem=xxx was given on the command line. This puts the declaration in system.h and the definition in mem.c. This also moves the definition of tce_alloc_start/end out of setup_64.c. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-10-28powerpc: Merge xmonPaul Mackerras
The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly, and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version. The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call show_state (which was always pretty dodgy) has been replaced by the ppc32 'p' command, which calls a given procedure (so in fact the old 'p' command behaviour can be achieved with 'p $show_state').
