2009-01-13powerpc/powermac: Fix occasional SMP boot failureBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The PowerMac kernel occasionally fails to bring up the secondary CPUs on SMP, the trigger factor seem to be fairly random and related to location of code and data. This appears to be due to the initial loading of the TOC value by the secondary processor which now happens before we clear HID4:RM_CI (Real Mode Cache Invalidate). This bit should really be cleared before we do any load or store other than fetching code. This fix works based on the assumption that all SMP 64-bit PowerMacs use variants of the 970, which fortunately is true, by explicitely clearing that bit, adding an slbia for good measure as RM_CI mode is known to create bogus ERAT entries. I also removed some spurrious debug output that was left enabled by mistake while at it. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-01-13powerpc: Change u64/s64 to a long long integer typeIngo Molnar
Convert arch/powerpc/ over to long long based u64: -#ifdef __powerpc64__ -# include <asm-generic/int-l64.h> -#else -# include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h> -#endif +#include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h> This will avoid reoccuring spurious warnings in core kernel code that comes when people test on their own hardware. (i.e. x86 in ~98% of the cases) This is what x86 uses and it generally helps keep 64-bit code 32-bit clean too.

2009-01-13powerpc/kexec: Check crash_base for relocatable kernelMilton Miller
Enforce that the crash kernel region never overlaps the current kernel, as it will be written directly on kexec load. Also, default to the previous KDUMP_KERNELBASE if the start is 0. Other architectures (x86, ia64) state that specifying the start address 0 (or omitting it) will result in the kernel allocating it. Before the relocatable patch in 2.6.28, powerpc would adjust any other start value to the hardcoded KDUMP_KERNELBASE of 32M.

2009-01-12[WATCHDOG] Enable watchdog timer on GE Fanuc's SBC610Martyn Welch
Support for the FPGA based watchdog timer on GE Fanuc's SBC610. This patch enables one of the watchdog timers found on the SBC610. There are two identical watchdog timers at different offsets in the above mentioned boards, however the current driver is only capable of supporting one of them. The watchdog timers are also capable of generating interrupts at a user-configurable threshold, though support for this operation is currently not supported by the driver.

2009-01-08powerpc/oprofile: IBM CELL: add SPU event profiling supportCarl Love
This patch adds the SPU event based profiling funcitonality for the IBM Cell processor. Previously, the CELL OProfile kernel code supported PPU event, PPU cycle profiling and SPU cycle profiling. The addition of SPU event profiling allows the users to identify where in their SPU code various SPU evnets are occuring. This should help users further identify issues with their code. Note, SPU profiling has some limitations due to HW constraints. Only one event at a time can be used for profiling and SPU event profiling must be time sliced across all of the SPUs in a node. The patch adds a new arch specific file to the OProfile file system. The file has bit 0 set to indicate that the kernel supports SPU event profiling. The user tool must check this file/bit to make sure the kernel supports SPU event profiling before trying to do SPU event profiling. The user tool check is part of the user tool patch for SPU event profiling. Signed-off-by: Carl Love <carll@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com>

The patch replaces internal registers dump implementation with ppc_save_regs(). From now on PPC64 and PPC32 are using the same code for crash_setup_regs(). NOTE: The old regs dump implementation was capturing SP (r1) directly as is, so you could see crash_kexec() function on top of the back-trace. But ppc_save_regs() goes up one stack frame, so you'll not see it anymore, at the top-level you'll see who actually triggered the crash dump instead.

2009-01-08powerpc: Fix pciconfig_iobase system call on PCI-Express powermacPaul Mackerras
X has been failing to start on my quad G5 powermac since commit 1fd0f52583a85b21a394201b007bc1ee104b235d ("powerpc: Fix domain numbers in /proc on 64-bit") went in. The reason is that the change allows X to see the PCI-PCI bridge above the video card (previously it was obscured by the fact that there were two "00" directories in /proc/bus/pci), and the pciconfig_iobase system call on the bridge is failing because of a hack that we have to return information about the AGP bus when X asks about bus 0. This machine doesn't have an AGP bus (it has PCI Express) and so the pciconfig_iobase call is returning -1, which ultimately causes X to fail to start. This fixes it by checking that we have an AGP bridge before redirecting the pciconfig_iobase call to return information about the AGP bus. With this, X starts successfully both on a quad G5 with PCI Express and on an older dual G5 with AGP.

2009-01-08powerpc: Rewrite sysfs processor cache info codeNathan Lynch
The current code for providing processor cache information in sysfs has the following deficiencies: - several complex functions that are hard to understand - implicit recursion (cache_desc_release -> kobject_put -> cache_desc_release) - explicit recursion (create_cache_index_info) - use of two per-cpu arrays when one would suffice - duplication of work on systems where CPUs share cache Also, when I looked at implementing support for a shared_cpu_map attribute, it was pretty much impossible to handle hotplug without checking every single online CPU's cache_desc list and fixing things up... not that this is a hot path, but it would have introduced O(n^2)-ish behavior during boot. Addressing this involved rethinking the core data structures used, which didn't lend itself to an incremental approach. This implementation maintains a "forest" (potentially more than one tree) of cache objects which reflects the system's cache topology. Cache objects are instantiated as needed as CPUs come online. A per-cpu array is used mainly for sysfs-related bookkeeping; the objects in the array just point to the appropriate points in the forest. This maintains compatibility with the existing code and includes some enhancements: - Implement the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for enabling userspace to discover the system's overall cache topology. - Use cache-block-size properties if cache-line-size is not available. I chose to place this implementation in a new file since it would have roughly doubled the size of sysfs.c, which is already kind of messy.

2009-01-08powerpc: Copy bootable images in the default install scriptGrant Likely
This patch makes the default install script (arch/powerpc/boot/install.sh) copy the bootable image files into the install directory. Before this patch only the vmlinux image file was copied. This patch makes the default 'make install' command useful for embedded development when $(INSTALL_PATH) is set in the environment. As a side effect, this patch changes the calling convention of the install.sh script. Instead of a single 5th parameter, the script is now passed a list of all the target images stored in the $(image-y) Makefile variable. This should be backwards compatible with existing install scripts since it just adds additional arguments and does not change existing ones.

Since we memset() the result in both of the uses here, just make careful_alloc() return a virtual address.

This makes it less likely that someone will screw it up forgetting to convert before returning since the vaddr is always in a void* and the paddr is always in an unsigned long. I admit this is arbitrary since one of its users needs a paddr and one a vaddr, but it does remove a good number of casts.
