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>
2009-05-18powerpc: Explicit alignment for .data.cacheline_alignedBenjamin Herrenschmidt
I don't think anything guarantees that the objects in data.page_aligned are a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, thus the section may end on any boundary. So the following section, .data.cacheline_aligned needs an explicit alignment. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-05-18powerpc/ftrace: Fix constraint to be early clobberSteven Rostedt
After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes. The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had to be flagged as an "early clobber". I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

2009-05-15powerpc: Fix PCI ROM accessBenjamin Herrenschmidt
A couple of issues crept in since about 2.6.27 related to accessing PCI device ROMs on various powerpc machines. First, historically, we don't allocate the ROM resource in the resource tree. I'm not entirely certain of why, I susepct they often contained garbage on x86 but it's hard to tell. This causes the current generic code to always call pci_assign_resource() when trying to access the said ROM from sysfs, which will try to re-assign some new address regardless of what the ROM BAR was already set to at boot time. This can be a problem on hypervisor platforms like pSeries where we aren't supposed to move PCI devices around (and in fact probably can't). Second, our code that generates the PCI tree from the OF device-tree (instead of doing config space probing) which we mostly use on pseries at the moment, didn't set the (new) flag IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any resource. That means that any attempt at re-assigning such a resource with pci_assign_resource() would fail due to resource_alignment() returning 0. This fixes this by doing these two things: - The code that calculates resource flags based on the OF device-node is improved to set IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any valid BAR, and while at it also set IORESOURCE_READONLY for ROMs since we were lacking that too - We now allocate ROM resources as part of the resource tree. However to limit the chances of nasty conflicts due to busted firmwares, we only do it on the second pass of our two-passes allocation scheme, so that all valid and enabled BARs get precedence. This brings pSeries back the ability to access PCI ROMs via sysfs (and thus initialize various video cards from X etc...). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-05-15powerpc/pseries: Really fix the oprofile CPU type on pseriesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
My previous pach for fixing the oprofile CPU type got somewhat mismerged (by my fault) when it collided with another related patch. This should finally (fingers crossed) fix the whole thing. We make sure we keep the -old- oprofile type and CPU type whenever one of them was specified in the first pass through the function. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-05-01powerpc: Fix setting of oprofile cpu typeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
commit 2657dd4e301d4841ed67a4fac7d145ad8f3e1b28 introduced a bug where we would now always override the "real" oprofile CPU type with the "compatible" one provided by a pseudo-PVR in the device-tree which is incorrect and breaks oprofile on all current configs since the "compatible" ones aren't yet recognized. This fixes it. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-05-01powerpc adjust oprofile_cpu_type version 3Michael Wolf
Oprofile is changing the naming it is using for the compatibility modes. Instead of having compat-power<x>, oprofile will go to family naming convention and use ibm-compat-v<x>. Currently only ibm-compat-v1 will be defined. The notion of compatibility events just started with POWER6. So there is no way that any other tool could exist that is using these oprofile_cpu_type strings we want to change.

2009-04-07powerpc: Disable VSX or current process in giveup_fpu/altivecMichael Neuling
When we call giveup_fpu, we need to need to turn off VSX for the current process. If we don't, on return to userspace it may execute a VSX instruction before the next FP instruction, and not have its register state refreshed correctly from the thread_struct. Ditto for altivec. This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs results in fix_alignment calling giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs (in order to do a single <-> double conversion), and then returning to userspace with FP off but VSX on. Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before another FP instruction, it will proceed without another exception and hence have the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31. lfs unaligned <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the wrong VSX register values for VSX registers 0-31, which overlap the FPRs.

2009-03-31proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

2009-03-27powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling codeJosh Boyer
On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the stack pointer passed into the kernel. Most places handle this correctly, but the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal stack frames. This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a sanitized stack pointer. For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack pointer is masked correctly. In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply returned. Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to get the properly sanitized stack.

2009-03-24powerpc/mm: Introduce early_init_mmu() on 64-bitBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This moves some MMU related init code out of setup_64.c into hash_utils_64.c and calls it early_init_mmu() and early_init_mmu_secondary(). This will make it easier to plug in a new MMU type. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-03-24powerpc/mm: e300c2/c3/c4 TLB errata workaroundKumar Gala
Complete workaround for DTLB errata in e300c2/c3/c4 processors. Due to the bug, the hardware-implemented LRU algorythm always goes to way 1 of the TLB. This fix implements the proposed software workaround in form of a LRW table for chosing the TLB-way.

2009-03-24powerpc/mm: Used free register to save a few cycles in SW TLB miss handlingKumar Gala
Now that r0 is free we can keep the value of I/DMISS in r3 and not reload it before doing the tlbli/d. This saves us a few cycles in the fast path case. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-03-24powerpc/mm: Remove unused register usage in SW TLB miss handlingKumar Gala
Long ago we had some code that actually used the CTR in the SW TLB miss handlers (603/e300). Since we don't use it no reason to waste cycles saving it off and restoring it (we actually didn't restore it in the fast path case).
