2008-04-30Basic braille screen reader supportSamuel Thibault
This adds a minimalistic braille screen reader support. This is meant to be used by blind people e.g. on boot failures or when / cannot be mounted etc and thus the userland screen readers can not work.

2008-04-29[POWERPC] Add IRQSTACKS support on ppc32Kumar Gala
This makes it possible to use separate stacks for hard and soft IRQs on 32-bit powerpc as well as on 64-bit. The code for 32-bit is just the 32-bit analog of the 64-bit code. * Added allocation and initialization of the irq stacks. We limit the stacks to be in lowmem for ppc32. * Implemented ppc32 versions of call_do_softirq() and call_handle_irq() to switch the stack pointers * Reworked how we do stack overflow detection. We now keep around the limit of the stack in the thread_struct and compare against the limit to see if we've overflowed. We can now use this on ppc64 if desired.

2008-04-29[POWERPC] Add fast little-endian switch system callPaul Mackerras
This adds a system call on 64-bit platforms for switching between little-endian and big-endian modes that is much faster than doing a prctl call. This system call is handled as a special case right at the start of the system call entry code, and because it is a special case, it uses a system call number which is out of the range of normal system calls, namely 0x1ebe. Measurements with lmbench on a 4.2GHz POWER6 showed no measurable change in the speed of normal system calls with this patch. Switching endianness with this new system call takes around 60ns on a 4.2GHz POWER6, compared with around 300ns to switch endian mode with a prctl. This can provide a significant performance advantage for emulators for little-endian architectures that want to switch between big-endian and little-endian mode frequently, e.g. because they are generating instructions sequences on the fly and they want to run those sequences in little-endian mode. The other thing about this system call is that it doesn't clobber as many registers as a normal system call. It only clobbers r12. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2008-04-24[POWERPC] Mark udbg console as CON_ANYTIME, ie. callable early in bootMichael Ellerman

2008-04-24[POWERPC] Set udbg_console index to 0Michael Ellerman
Because the udbg_console has CON_ENABLED set, it's possible that when we register it with the console code the index won't be set. This leads to slightly confusing boot messages like: [ 0.000000] console [udbg-1] enabled We could remove CON_ENABLED, but we don't want to do that, we always want the udbg console to be activated, even if the user specified some other console on the command line. The simplest fix seems to be just to set the index to 0 by hand. There is no issue with duplicate udbg consoles, as we guard against registering multiple times in register_early_udbg_console().

2008-04-24[POWERPC] Discourage people from fiddling with kernel data from prom_initMichael Ellerman
As BenH said the other day, it is an "accident" that prom_init.o is linked with the rest of the kernel. The truth is a little more subtle, prom_init isn't truly bootloader, it does access kernel data in a few places. What we can do is discourage people from adding new code that accesses data outside of prom_init. And hence this patch; from the script: # This script checks prom_init.o to see what external symbols it # is using, if it finds symbols not in the whitelist it returns # an error. The point of this is to discourage people from # intentionally or accidentally adding new code to prom_init.c # which has side effects on other parts of the kernel.

2008-04-24[POWERPC] 85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and booting at non-zero)Kumar Gala
Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and kdump). The support can be configured at compile time by setting CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as desired. Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. Setting this config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START. If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning. However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program header physical address field in the resulting ELF image. Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a multiple of 256M. This is due to how we map TLBs to cover lowmem. This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment in the future. It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a non-aligned physical address. All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings. ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. /dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

2008-04-24[POWERPC] Fix kernel stack allocation alignmentBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The powerpc kernel stacks need to be naturally aligned, as they contain the thread info at the bottom, which is obtained by clearing the low bits of the stack pointer. However, when using 64K pages, the stack is smaller than a page, so we use kmalloc to allocate it, but that doesn't provide the alignment guarantee we need. It appeared to work so far... until one enables SLUB debugging which then returns unaligned pointers. Ooops... This fixes it by using a slab cache with enforced alignment. It relies on my previous patch that adds a thread_info_cache_init() callback.

2008-04-18[POWERPC] Fix device-tree locking vs. interruptsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Lockdep found out that we can occasionally take the device-tree lock for reading from softirq time (from rtas_token called by the rtas real time clock code called by the NTP code), while we take it occasionally for writing without masking interrupts. The combination of those two can thus deadlock. While some of those cases of interrupt read lock could be fixed (such as caching the RTAS tokens) I figured that taking the lock for writing is so rare (device-tree modification) that we may as well penalize that case and allow reading from interrupts. Thus, this turns all the writers to take the lock with irqs masked to avoid the situation.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] Rework Book-E debug exception handlingKumar Gala
The architecture allows for "Book-E" style debug interrupts to either go to critial interrupts of their own debug interrupt level. To allow for a dynamic kernel to support machines of either type we want to be able to compile in the interrupt handling code for both exception levels. Towards this goal we renamed the debug handling macros to specify the interrupt level in their name (DEBUG_CRIT_EXCEPTION/DebugCrit and DEBUG_DEBUG_EXCEPTION/DebugDebug). Additionally, on the Freescale Book-e parts we expanded the exception stacks to cover the maximum case of needing three exception stacks (normal, machine check and debug). There is some kernel text space optimization to be gained if a kernel is configured for a specific Freescale implementation but we aren't handling that now to allow for the single kernel image support.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] pseries/phyp dump: Reserve a variable amount of space at bootManish Ahuja
This changes the way we calculate how much space to reserve for the pHyp dump. Currently we reserve 256MB only. With this change, the code first checks to see if an amount has been specified on the boot command line with the "phyp_dump_reserve_size" option, and if so, uses that much. Otherwise it computes 5% of total ram and rounds it down to a multiple of 256MB, and uses the larger of that or 256MB. This is for large systems with a lot of memory (10GB or more). The aim is to have more space available for the kernel on reboot on machines with more resources. Although the dump will be collected pretty fast and the memory released really early on allowing the machine to have the full memory available, this alleviates any issues that can be caused by having way too little memory on very very large systems during those few minutes.

Fedora 9 works on Efika without the separate 'device-tree supplement', thanks to the kernel's own fixups.

The kernel's fixups for Efika already correct one instance of 'chrp', in the 'device_type' property.

This fixes the handling of the preempt count when switching interrupt stacks so that HW interrupt properly get the softirq mask copied over from the previous stack. It also initializes the softirq stack preempt_count to 0 instead of SOFTIRQ_OFFSET, like x86, as __do_softirq() does the increment, and we hit some lockdep checks if we have it twice. That means we do run for a little while off the softirq stack with the preempt-count set to 0, which could be deadly if we try to take a softirq at that point, however we do so with interrupts disabled, so I think we are ok.

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.

2008-04-15[POWERPC] iSeries: Make iseries_reg_save private to iSeriesStephen Rothwell
Now that we have the alpaca, the reg_save_ptr is no longer needed in the paca. Eradicate all global uses of it and make it static in the iSeries lpardata.c Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-04-15[POWERPC] iSeries: Use alternate paca structure for bootingStephen Rothwell
The iSeries HV only needs the first two fields of the paca statically initialised, so create an alternate paca that contains only those and switch to our real paca immediately after boot. This is in order to make the 1024 cpu patches easier since they will no longer have to statically initialise the pacas for iSeries.

2008-04-14[POWERPC] Fix handling of unrecoverable SLB miss interruptsPaul Mackerras
If an SLB miss interrupt happens while the RI bit of MSR is zero, we can't just return, because RI being zero indicates that SRR0/SRR1 potentially had live values in them, and the process of taking an interrupt overwrites them. This should never happen, but if it does, we try to print a nice oops message. That doesn't work, however, because the code at unrecov_slb assumes that the MMU has been turned on, but we call it with the MMU off (and have done so since the SLB miss handler was rewritten to run without turning the MMU on) -- except on iSeries, where everything runs with the MMU on. This fixes it by adding the necessary code to turn the MMU on if necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
