2007-07-20[CELL] cell: add hardcoded spu vicinity information for QS20Arnd Bergmann
This patch allows the use of spu affinity on QS20, whose original FW does not provide affinity information. This is done through two hardcoded arrays, and by reading the reg property from each spu.

2007-07-20[CELL] cell: add vicinity information on spusArnd Bergmann
This patch adds affinity data to each spu instance. A doubly linked list is created, meant to connect the spus in the physical order they are placed in the BE. SPUs near to memory should be marked as having memory affinity. Adjustments of the fields acording to FW properties is done in separate patches, one for CPBW, one for Malta (patch for Malta under testing).

2007-07-20[CELL] cell: add per BE structure with info about its SPUsArnd Bergmann
Addition of a spufs-global "cbe_info" array. Each entry contains information about one Cell/B.E. node, namelly: * list of spus (both free and busy spus are in this list); * list of free spus (replacing the static spu_list from spu_base.c) * number of spus; * number of reserved (non scheduleable) spus. SPE affinity implementation actually requires only access to one spu per BE node (since it implements its own pointer to walk through the other spus of the ring) and the number of scheduleable spus (n_spus - non_sched_spus) However having this more general structure can be useful for other functionalities, concentrating per-cbe statistics / data.

2007-07-20[CELL] spufs: use find_first_bit() instead of sched_find_first_bit()Masato Noguchi
spu_sched->bitmap has MAX_PRIO(=140) width in bits.However, since ff80a77f20f811c0cc5b251d0f657cbc6f788385, sched_find_first_bit() only supports 100-bit bitmaps.

The decr_status in the LSCSA is confusedly used as two meanings: * SPU decrementer was running * SPU decrementer was wrapped as a result of adjust and the code to set decr_status is missing.

Currently a process is removed from the physical spu when spu_acquire_saved is saved but never put back. This patch adds a new spu_release_saved that is to be paired with spu_acquire_saved and put the process back if it has been in RUNNABLE state before.

2007-07-20[CELL] add support for MSI on Axon-based Cell systemsMichael Ellerman
This patch adds support for the setup and decoding of MSIs on Axon-based Cell systems, using the MSIC mechanism. This involves setting up an area of BE memory which the Axon then uses as a FIFO for MSI messages. When one or more MSIs are decoded by the MSIC we receive an interrupt on the MPIC, and the MSI messages are written into the FIFO. At the moment we use a 64KB FIFO, one per MSIC/BE.

2007-07-20[CELL] driver for DDR2 memory on AXONMaxim Shchetynin
The Axon bridge chip used on new Cell/B.E. based blade servers comes with a DDR2 memory controller that can be used to attach cheap memory modules, as opposed to the high-speed XDR memory that is used by the CPU itself. Since the memory controller does not participate in the cache coherency protocol, we can not use the memory direcly for Linux applications, but by providing a block device it can be used for swap space, temporary file storage and through the use of the direct_access block device operation for mapping into user addresses, when it is mounted with an appropriate file system.

2007-07-20[CELL] allow linux to map Cell regs on legacy SLOF tree.Jean-Christophe DUBOIS
The platforms missing the "cpus" property in the "be" node are mono-Cell platforms such as CAB or Getaway. Therefore it is possible to assume that if there is no "cpus" properties under the "be" node then we can safely return the "device node" without more checking. This is a bit hacky but ... it allows it to work on these platforms.

This patch reorganizes the code of the driver into three files. Two cbe_cpufreq_pmi.c and cbe_cpufreq_pervasive.c care about hardware. cbe_cpufreq.c contains the logic.

2007-07-20[CELL] pmi: remove support for mutiple devices.Christian Krafft
The pmi driver got simplified by removing support for multiple devices. As there is no more than one pmi device per maschine, there is no need to specify the device for listening and sending messages. This way the caller (cbe_cpufreq) doesn't need to scan the device tree. When registering the handler on a board without a pmi interface, pmi.c will just return -ENODEV. The patch that fixed the breakage of cell_defconfig has been broken out of the earlier version of this patch. So this is the version that applies cleanly on top of it.

2007-07-19define new percpu interface for shared dataFenghua Yu
per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu, but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus. One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the interface to achieve this is not clean. This patch: Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once wrote code like this: struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" }; And then his kernel exploded. Oops. This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text address that it represents. We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer. This requires requires all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault -- however that would be for another patch).

2007-07-18Fix RGMII-ID handling in gianfarAndy Fleming
The TSEC/eTSEC can detect the interface to the PHY automatically, but it isn't able to detect whether the RGMII connection needs internal delay. So we need to detect that change in the device tree, propagate it to the platform data, and then check it if we're in RGMII. This fixes a bug on the 8641D HPCN board where the Vitesse PHY doesn't use the delay for RGMII. Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com>
2007-07-18Add phy-connection-type to gianfar nodesAndy Fleming
The TSEC/eTSEC automatically detect their PHY interface type, unless the type is RGMII-ID (RGMII with internal delay). In that situation, it just detects RGMII. In order to fix this, we need to pass in rgmii-id if that is the connection type. Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com>

2007-07-18Revert "[POWERPC] Do firmware feature fixups after features are initialised"Tony Breeds
This reverts commit 5a26f6bbb767d7ad23311a1e81cfdd2bebefb855. The original patch causes boot failures when built with ppc64_defconfig. The quickest fix is to revert it while alterates are investigated. Signed-off-by: Tony Breeds <tony@bakeyournoodle.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
