2008-05-05[POWERPC] spufs: don't acquire state_mutex interruptible while performing ↵Jeremy Kerr
callback There's currently no way to tell if spu_process_callback has returned with the state mutex held, as -EINTR may be returned by either the syscall or the spu_acquire fail case. Instead, just do a non-interruptible mutex_lock here. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
2008-05-05[POWERPC] spufs: update master runcntl with context lock heldJeremy Kerr
Currently, we update the SPU master run control bit (ie, spu_enable_spu) in spufs_run_spu before we grab the context mutex. This can result in races with other processes accessing this context's resources. This change moves the spu_enable_spu to after we have acquired the context lock.

2008-05-05[POWERPC] spufs: fix post-stopped update of MFC_CNTL registerJeremy Kerr
We currently have two issues with the MFC save code: * save_mfc_decr doesn't handle a transition of 1 -> 0 of the Ds bit * The Q bit may be stale in the CSA This change fixes the first issue by clearing the relevant bits from the MFC_CNTL value in the CSA before or-ing in the updated status. Also, we add the Q bit to the updated status. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
2008-05-05[POWERPC] spufs: fix save of mfc_cntl registerJeremy Kerr
Currently, we can introduce invalid entries into the MFC queues: 1) context starts a DMA 2) context gets scheduled out during a DMA - kernel saves MFC queue to CSA - kernel saves 0x0 in csa->mfc_control_RW 3) context gets scheduled in - csa->mfc_control[Q] ('queues empty') isn't set, so DMA queues are restored from the CSA 4) context's DMA is completed 5) context gets scheduled out again, no DMA occuring this time - kernel sees that MFC_CNTL[Q] ('queues empty') is set, so doesn't touch saved queue data in CSA - kernel saves 0x0 in csa->mfc_control_RW 6) context gets scheduled in - csa->mfc_control[Q] ('queues empty') isn't set (we saved is as 0!), so DMA queues are restored from the CSA In this last restore, we've restored the queue status from step 2, which are now invalid. This change makes save_mfc_cntl() closer to the save/restore sequence, as specified in the CBE handbook. With changes from Luke Browning. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
2008-05-05[POWERPC] spufs: don't touch suspend bits when purging DMA queueJeremy Kerr
When we issue a MFC purge request, we may inadvertantly clear the suspended status. This change adds the MFC_CNTL_SUSPEND_MASK when we issue a purge request, so that the suspend bit is masked out. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
2008-05-05[POWERPC] cell: Fix lost interrupts due to fasteoi handlerJeremy Kerr
We may currently lose interrupts during SPE context switch, as we alter the INT_Route register. Because the IIC uses a per-thread priority status, changing the interrupt routing to a different thread means that the IRQ is no longer masked by the priority status, so we end up with two fasteoi IRQ handlers executing for the one irq_desc. The fasteoi handler doesn't handle multiple IRQs, so drops the second one. Fix this by using our own flow handler. This is based on handle_edge_irq, but issues an eoi after IRQs are handled, and doesn't do any mask/unmasking. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
2008-05-02[POWERPC] Bolt in SLB entry for kernel stack on secondary cpusPaul Mackerras
This fixes a regression reported by Kamalesh Bulabel where a POWER4 machine would crash because of an SLB miss at a point where the SLB miss exception was unrecoverable. This regression is tracked at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10082 SLB misses at such points shouldn't happen because the kernel stack is the only memory accessed other than things in the first segment of the linear mapping (which is mapped at all times by entry 0 of the SLB). The context switch code ensures that SLB entry 2 covers the kernel stack, if it is not already covered by entry 0. None of entries 0 to 2 are ever replaced by the SLB miss handler. Where this went wrong is that the context switch code assumes it doesn't have to write to SLB entry 2 if the new kernel stack is in the same segment as the old kernel stack, since entry 2 should already be correct. However, when we start up a secondary cpu, it calls slb_initialize, which doesn't set up entry 2. This is correct for the boot cpu, where we will be using a stack in the kernel BSS at this point (i.e. init_thread_union), but not necessarily for secondary cpus, whose initial stack can be allocated anywhere. This doesn't cause any immediate problem since the SLB miss handler will just create an SLB entry somewhere else to cover the initial stack. In fact it's possible for the cpu to go quite a long time without SLB entry 2 being valid. Eventually, though, the entry created by the SLB miss handler will get overwritten by some other entry, and if the next access to the stack is at an unrecoverable point, we get the crash. This fixes the problem by making slb_initialize create a suitable entry for the kernel stack, if we are on a secondary cpu and the stack isn't covered by SLB entry 0. This requires initializing the get_paca()->kstack field earlier, so I do that in smp_create_idle where the current field is initialized. This also abstracts a bit of the computation that mk_esid_data in slb.c does so that it can be used in slb_initialize. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2008-04-30[POWERPC] Fix crashkernel= handling when no crashkernel= specifiedMichael Ellerman
Commit edd8ce67436851a62f99f1d9707b40ea6a8e5323 (Use extended crashkernel command line on ppc64), changed the logic in reserve_crashkernel() which deals with the crashkernel= command line option. This introduced a bug in the case when there is no crashkernel= option, or it is incorrect. We would fall through and calculate the crash_size based on the existing values in crashk_res. If both start and end are 0, the default, we calculate the crash_size as 1 byte - which is wrong. Rework the logic so that we use crashk_res, regardless of whether it's set by the command line or via the device tree (see prom.c). Then check if we have an empty range (end == start), and if so make sure to set both end and start to zero (this is checked in machine_kexec_64.c). Then we calculate the crash_size once we know we have a non-zero range. Finally we always want to warn the user if they specify a base != 32MB, so remove the special case for that in the command line parsing case.

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>

Application should check AOI geometry before changing physical resolution on /dev/fb0 required command line parameters to preallocate memory for frame buffer diufb. optional command line parameters to set modes and monitor video=fslfb:[resolution][,bpp][,monitor] Syntax: Resolution xres x yres-bpp@refresh_rate, the -bpp and @refresh_rate are optional eg, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1280x1024-32, 1280x1024@60, 1280x1024-32@60, 1280x480-32@60 Bpp bpp=32, bpp=24, or bpp=16 Monitor monitor=0, monitor=1, monitor=2 0 is DVI 1 is Single link LVDS 2 is Double link LVDS Note: switching monitor is a board feather, not DIU feather. MPC8610HPCD has three monitor ports to swtich to. MPC5121ADS doesn't have additional monitor port. So switching monirot port for MPC5121ADS has no effect. If compiled as a module, it takes pamameters mode, bpp, monitor with the same syntax above.

2008-04-28return pfn from direct_access, for XIPJared Hulbert
Alter the block device ->direct_access() API to work with the new get_xip_mem() API (that requires both kaddr and pfn are returned). Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page() for use by XIP (to translate from the kernel virtual address returned by direct_access(), to a user mappable pfn in XIP's page fault handler. However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr, because we have no good way to get a kva from a pfn, and XIP requires the kva for its read(2) and write(2) handlers. So we have to return both.
