2006-10-25[POWERPC] cell: add shadow registers for pmd_regKevin Corry
Many of the registers in the performance monitoring unit are write-only. We need to save a "shadow" copy when we write to those registers so we can retrieve the values if we need them later. The new cbe_pmd_shadow_regs structure is added to the cbe_regs_map structure so we have the appropriate per-node copies of these shadow values.

2006-10-25[POWERPC] spufs: Add isolated-mode SPE recycling supportJeremy Kerr
When in isolated mode, SPEs have access to an area of persistent storage, which is per-SPE. In order for isolated-mode apps to communicate arbitrary data through this storage, we need to ensure that isolated physical SPEs can be reused for subsequent applications. Add a file ("recycle") in a spethread dir to enable isolated-mode recycling. By writing to this file, the kernel will reload the isolated-mode loader kernel, allowing a new app to be run on the same physical SPE. This requires the spu_acquire_exclusive function to enforce exclusive access to the SPE while the loader is initialised.

2006-10-25[POWERPC] spufs: allow isolated mode apps by starting the SPE loaderarnd@arndb.de
This patch adds general support for isolated mode SPE apps. Isolated apps are started indirectly, by a dedicated loader "kernel". This patch starts the loader when spe_create is invoked with the ISOLATE flag. We do this at spe_create time to allow libspe to pass the isolated app in before calling spe_run. The loader is read from the device tree, at the location "/spu-isolation/loader". If the loader is not present, an attempt to start an isolated SPE binary will fail with -ENODEV. Update: loader needs to be correctly aligned - copy to a kmalloced buf. Update: remove workaround for systemsim/spurom 'L-bit' bug, which has been fixed. Update: don't write to runcntl on spu_run_init: SPU is already running. Update: do spu_setup_isolated earlier Tested on systemsim.

2006-10-25[POWERPC] spufs: wrap mfc sdr accessMasato Noguchi
SPRN_SDR1 and the SPE's MFC SDR are hypervisor resources and are not accessible from a logical partition. This change adds an access wrapper. When running on bare H/W, the spufs needs to only set the SPE's MFC SDR to the value of the PPE's SPRN_SDR1 once at SPE initialization, so this change renames mfc_sdr_set() to mfc_sdr_setup() and moves the access of SPRN_SDR1 into the mmio wrapper. It also removes the now unneeded member mfc_sdr_RW from struct spu_priv1_collapsed.

2006-10-25[POWERPC] spufs: fix another off-by-one bug in spufs_mbox_readArnd Bergmann
Currently, spufs_mbox_read transfers more bytes than requested on a read. If you ask for four bytes, you get eight. This fixes it to transfer the largest multiple of four bytes that is less than or equal to the number you asked for. Note: one nasty property of this file in spufs is that you can only read multiples of four bytes in the first place, since there is no way to atomically put back a few bytes into the hardware register. Thus, reading less than four bytes returns -EINVAL. Asking for more than four returns the largest possible multiple of four.

2006-10-25[POWERPC] Consolidate feature fixup codeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and separately for 32 and 64 bits. This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any problem.

2006-10-24[POWERPC] Move iSeries initrd logic into device treeMichael Ellerman
Remove the iSeries initrd logic, instead just store the initrd location and size in the device tree so generic code can do the rest for us. The iSeries code had a "feature" which the generic code lacks, ie. if the compressed initrd is bigger than the configured ram disk size, we make the ram disk size bigger. That's bogus, as the compressed size of the initrd tells us nothing about how big the ram disk needs to be. If the ram disk isn't big enough you just need to make CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE larger.

2006-10-16[POWERPC] Lazy interrupt disabling for 64-bit machinesPaul Mackerras
This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts. This means that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are enabled' flag in the paca. If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled' flag in the paca, and returns. This means that interrupts only actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along. When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether interrupts got hard-disabled. If so, it also sets the EE bit in the MSR to hard-enable the interrupts. This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses. This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables, which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw. This doesn't yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled flags. This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

2006-10-10[POWERPC] Fix secondary CPU startup on old "powersurge" SMP powermacsPaul Mackerras
On the old "powersurge" SMP powermacs, the second CPU is started up by sending it an IPI, which has the side effect of stopping the timebase clock (so the secondary CPU's timebase can be synchronized with the primary's). The routine that did this used udelay, which will hang forever when the timebase is stopped, since udelay now spins until the timebase reaches a certain value. The end result is that the kernel would hang when bringing up the second CPU. This fixes it by using a simple loop which just does a fixed number of iterations to generate the delay. These old systems were all clocked at around 200 MHz or so, so a fixed number of iterations is acceptable. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The IDE driver will pick up the PCI IRQ for both channels on Maple despite the fact that it's in legacy mode. This works around it by "hiding" the PCI IRQ of the AMD8111 IDE controller when it's configured in legacy mode on the Maple platform, thus causing the driver to call pci_get_legacy_ide_irq() which will return the correct interrupts for both channels.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: add infrastructure for finding elf objectsArnd Bergmann
This adds an 'object-id' file that the spe library can use to store a pointer to its ELF object. This was originally meant for use by oprofile, but is now also used by the GNU debugger, if available. In order for oprofile to find the location in an spu-elf binary where an event counter triggered, we need a way to identify the binary in the first place. Unfortunately, that binary itself can be embedded in a powerpc ELF binary. Since we can assume it is mapped into the effective address space of the running process, have that one write the pointer value into a new spufs file. When a context switch occurs, pass the user value to the profiler so that can look at the mapped file (with some care).

The properties we used traditionally in the device tree are somewhat nonstandard. This adds support for a more conventional format using 'interrupts' and 'reg' properties. The interrupts are specified in three cells (class 0, 1 and 2) and registered at the interrupt-parent. The reg property contains either three or four register areas in the order 'local-store', 'problem', 'priv2', and 'priv1', so the priv1 one can be left out in case of hypervisor driven systems that access these through hcalls.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: make mailbox functions handle multiple elementsArnd Bergmann
Since libspe2 will provide a function that can read/write multiple mailbox elements at once, the kernel should handle that efficiently. read/write on the three mailbox files can now access the spe context multiple times to operate on any number of mailbox data elements. If the spu application keeps writing to its outbound mailbox, the read call will pick up all the data in a single system call. Unfortunately, if the user passes an invalid pointer, we may lose a mailbox element on read, since we can't put it back. This probably impossible to solve, if the user also accesses the mailbox through direct register access.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: use correct pg_prot for mapping SPU local storeArnd Bergmann
This hopefully fixes a long-standing bug in the spu file system. An spu context comes with local memory that can be either saved in kernel pages or point directly to a physical SPE. When mapping the physical SPE, that mapping needs to be cache-inhibited. For simplicity, we used to map the kernel backing memory that way too, but unfortunately that was not only inefficient, but also incorrect because the same page could then be accessed simultaneously through a cacheable and a cache-inhibited mapping, which is not allowed by the powerpc specification and in our case caused data inconsistency for which we did a really ugly workaround in user space.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: Add infrastructure needed for gang schedulingArnd Bergmann
Add the concept of a gang to spufs as a new type of object. So far, this has no impact whatsover on scheduling, but makes it possible to add that later. A new type of object in spufs is now a spu_gang. It is created with the spu_create system call with the flags argument set to SPU_CREATE_GANG (0x2). Inside of a spu_gang, it is then possible to create spu_context objects, which until now was only possible at the root of spufs. There is a new member in struct spu_context pointing to the spu_gang it belongs to, if any. The spu_gang maintains a list of spu_context structures that are its children. This information can then be used in the scheduler in the future. There is still a bug that needs to be resolved in this basic infrastructure regarding the order in which objects are removed. When the spu_gang file descriptor is closed before the spu_context descriptors, we leak the dentry and inode for the gang. Any ideas how to cleanly solve this are appreciated.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: implement error event delivery to user spaceArnd Bergmann
This tries to fix spufs so we have an interface closer to what is specified in the man page for events returned in the third argument of spu_run. Fortunately, libspe has never been using the returned contents of that register, as they were the same as the return code of spu_run (duh!). Unlike the specification that we never implemented correctly, we now require a SPU_CREATE_EVENTS_ENABLED flag passed to spu_create, in order to get the new behavior. When this flag is not passed, spu_run will simply ignore the third argument now. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: fix context switch during page faultHyeonSeung Jang
For better explanation, I break down the page fault handling into steps: 1) There is a page fault caused by DMA operation initiated by SPU and DMA is suspended. 2) The interrupt handler 'spu_irq_class_1()/__spu_trap_data_map()' is called and it just wakes up the sleeping spe-manager thread. 3) by PPE scheduler, the corresponding bottom half, spu_irq_class_1_bottom() is called in process context and DMA is restarted. There can be a quite large time gap between 2) and 3) and I found the following problem: Between 2) and 3) If the context becomes unbound, 3) is not executed because when the spe-manager thread is awaken, the context is already saved. (This situation can happen, for example, when a high priority spe thread newly started in that time gap) But the actual problem is that the corresponding SPU context does not work even if it is bound again to a SPU. Besides I can see the following warning in mambo simulator when the context becomes unbound(in save_mfc_cmd()), i.e. when unbind() is called for the context after step 2) before 3) : 'WARNING: 61392752237: SPE2: MFC_CMD_QUEUE channel count of 15 is inconsistent with number of available DMA queue entries of 16' After I go through available documents, I found that the problem is because the suspended DMA is not restarted when it is bound again.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: scheduler support for NUMA.Mark Nutter
This patch adds NUMA support to the the spufs scheduler. The new arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/sched.c is greatly simplified, in an attempt to reduce complexity while adding support for NUMA scheduler domains. SPUs are allocated starting from the calling thread's node, moving to others as supported by current->cpus_allowed. Preemption is gone as it was buggy, but should be re-enabled in another patch when stable. The new arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c maintains idle lists on a per-node basis, and allows caller to specify which node(s) an SPU should be allocated from, while passing -1 tells spu_alloc() that any node is allowed. Since the patch removes the currently implemented preemptive scheduling, it is technically a regression, but practically all users have since migrated to this version, as it is part of the IBM SDK and the yellowdog distribution, so there is not much point holding it back while the new preemptive scheduling patch gets delayed further.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: cell spu problem state mapping updatesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch adds a new "psmap" file to spufs that allows mmap of all of the problem state mapping of SPEs. It is compatible with 64k pages. In addition, it removes mmap ability of individual files when using 64k pages, with the exception of signal1 and signal2 which will both map the entire 64k page holding both registers. It also removes CONFIG_SPUFS_MMAP as there is no point in not building mmap support in spufs. It goes along a separate patch to libspe implementing usage of that new file to access problem state registers. Another patch will follow up to fix races opened up by accessing the 'runcntl' register directly, which is made possible with this patch.
