2008-10-31powerpc/cell/OProfile: Fix on-stack array size in activate spu profiling ↵Carl Love
function The size of the pm_signal_local array should be equal to the number of SPUs being configured in the array. Currently, the array is of size 4 (NR_PHYS_CTRS) but being indexed by a for loop from 0 to 7 (NUM_SPUS_PER_NODE). This could potentially cause an oops or random memory corruption since the pm_signal_local array is on the stack. This fixes it.

2008-10-31powerpc/mpic: Fix regression caused by change of default IRQ affinityKumar Gala
The Freescale implementation of MPIC only allows a single CPU destination for non-IPI interrupts. We add a flag to the mpic_init to distinquish these variants of MPIC. We pull in the irq_choose_cpu from sparc64 to select a single CPU as the destination of the interrupt. This is to deal with the fact that the default smp affinity was changed by commit 18404756765c713a0be4eb1082920c04822ce588 ("genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)") to be all CPUs.

2008-10-31powerpc: Update remaining dma_mapping_ops to use map/unmap_pageMark Nelson
After the merge of the 32 and 64bit DMA code, dma_direct_ops lost their map/unmap_single() functions but gained map/unmap_page(). This caused a problem for Cell because Cell's dma_iommu_fixed_ops called the dma_direct_ops if the fixed linear mapping was to be used or the iommu ops if the dynamic window was to be used. So in order to fix this problem we need to update the 64bit DMA code to use map/unmap_page. First, we update the generic IOMMU code so that iommu_map_single() becomes iommu_map_page() and iommu_unmap_single() becomes iommu_unmap_page(). Then we propagate these changes up through all the callers of these two functions and in the process update all the dma_mapping_ops so that they have map/unmap_page rahter than map/unmap_single. We can do this because on 64bit there is no HIGHMEM memory so map/unmap_page ends up performing exactly the same function as map/unmap_single, just taking different arguments. This has no affect on drivers because the dma_map_single_attrs() just ends up calling the map_page() function of the appropriate dma_mapping_ops and similarly the dma_unmap_single_attrs() calls unmap_page(). This fixes an oops on Cell blades, which oops on boot without this because they call dma_direct_ops.map_single, which is NULL.

2008-10-31powerpc/pci: Fix unmapping of IO space on 64-bitBenjamin Herrenschmidt
A typo/thinko made us pass the wrong argument to __flush_hash_table_range when unplugging bridges, thus not flushing all the translations for the IO space on unplug. The third parameter to __flush_hash_table_range is `end', not `size'. This causes the hypervisor to refuse unplugging slots.

2008-10-31powerpc/pci: Properly allocate bus resources for hotplug PHBsNathan Fontenot
Resources for PHB's that are dynamically added to a system are not properly allocated in the resource tree. Not having these resources allocated causes an oops when removing the PHB when we try to release them. The diff appears a bit messy, this is mainly due to moving everything one tab to the left in the pcibios_allocate_bus_resources routine. The functionality change in this routine is only that the list_for_each_entry() loop is pulled out and moved to the necessary calling routine.

2008-10-31OF-device: Don't overwrite numa_node in device registrationJeremy Kerr
Currently, the numa_node of OF-devices will be overwritten during device_register, which simply sets the node to -1. On cell machines, this means that devices can't find their IOMMU, which is referenced through the device's numa node. Set the numa node for OF devices with no parent, and use the lower-level device_initialize and device_add functions, so that the node is preserved. We can remove the call to set_dev_node in of_device_alloc, as it will be overwritten during register. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-10-31powerpc: Fix swapcontext system for VSX + old ucontext sizeMichael Neuling
Since VSX support was added, we now have two sizes of ucontext_t; the older, smaller size without the extra VSX state, and the new larger size with the extra VSX state. A program using the sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for its current context to be saved). Thus the program will start getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked. This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in this case. It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions. Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated. [paulus@samba.org - also fix some access_ok() and get_user() calls] Thanks to Ben Herrenschmidt for noticing this problem.

2008-10-31powerpc: Work around ld bug in older binutilsPaul Mackerras
Commit 549e8152de8039506f69c677a4546e5427aa6ae7 ("powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable") added lines to vmlinux.lds.S to add the extra sections needed to implement a relocatable kernel. However, those lines seem to trigger a bug in older versions of GNU ld (such as 2.16.1) when building a non-relocatable kernel. Since ld 2.16.1 is still a popular choice for cross-toolchains, this adds an #ifdef to vmlinux.lds.S so the added lines are only included when building a relocatable kernel.

2008-10-31powerpc/ppc64/kdump: Better flag for running relocatableMilton Miller
The __kdump_flag ABI is overly constraining for future development. As of 2.6.27, the kernel entry point has 4 constraints: Offset 0 is the starting point for the master (boot) cpu (entered with r3 pointing to the device tree structure), offset 0x60 is code for the slave cpus (entered with r3 set to their device tree physical id), offset 0x20 is used by the iseries hypervisor, and secondary cpus must be well behaved when the first 256 bytes are copied to address 0. Placing the __kdump_flag at 0x18 is bad because: - It was taking the last 8 bytes before the iseries hypervisor data. - It was 8 bytes for a boolean flag - It had no way of identifying that the flag was present - It does leave any room for the master to add any additional code before branching, which hurts debug. - It will be unnecessarily hard for 32 bit code to be common (8 bytes) Now that we have eliminated the use of __kdump_flag in favor of the standard is_kdump_kernel(), this flag only controls run without relocating the kernel to PHYSICAL_START (0), so rename it __run_at_load. Move the flag to 0x5c, 1 word before the secondary cpu entry point at 0x60. Initialize it with "run0" to say it will run at 0 unless it is set to 1. It only exists if we are relocatable.

2008-10-31powerpc: Kexec exit should not use magic numbersMilton Miller
Commit 54622f10a6aabb8bb2bdacf3dd070046f03dc246 ("powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel") added a magic flag value in a register to tell purgatory that it should be a panic kernel. This part is wrong and is reverted by this commit. The kernel gets a list of memory blocks and a entry point from user space. Its job is to copy the blocks into place and then branch to the designated entry point (after turning "off" the mmu). The user space tool inserts a trampoline, called purgatory, that runs before the user supplied code. Its job is to establish the entry environment for the new kernel or other application based on the contents of memory. The purgatory code is compiled and embedded in the tool, where it is later patched using the elf symbol table using elf symbols. Since the tool knows it is creating a purgatory that will run after a kernel crash, it should just patch purgatory (or the kernel directly) if something needs to happen.

2008-10-31gianfar: Fix race in TBI/SerDes configurationTrent Piepho
The init_phy() function attaches to the PHY, then configures the SerDes<->TBI link (in SGMII mode). The TBI is on the MDIO bus with the PHY (sort of) and is accessed via the gianfar's MDIO registers, using the functions gfar_local_mdio_read/write(), which don't do any locking. The previously attached PHY will start a work-queue on a timer, and probably an irq handler as well, which will talk to the PHY and thus use the MDIO bus. This uses phy_read/write(), which have locking, but not against the gfar_local_mdio versions. The result is that PHY code will try to use the MDIO bus at the same time as the SerDes setup code, corrupting the transfers. Setting up the SerDes before attaching to the PHY will insure that there is no race between the SerDes code and *our* PHY, but doesn't fix everything. Typically the PHYs for all gianfar devices are on the same MDIO bus, which is associated with the first gianfar device. This means that the first gianfar's SerDes code could corrupt the MDIO transfers for a different gianfar's PHY. The lock used by phy_read/write() is contained in the mii_bus structure, which is pointed to by the PHY. This is difficult to access from the gianfar drivers, as there is no link between a gianfar device and the mii_bus which shares the same MDIO registers. As far as the device layer and drivers are concerned they are two unrelated devices (which happen to share registers). Generally all gianfar devices' PHYs will be on the bus associated with the first gianfar. But this might not be the case, so simply locking the gianfar's PHY's mii bus might not lock the mii bus that the SerDes setup code is going to use. We solve this by having the code that creates the gianfar platform device look in the device tree for an mdio device that shares the gianfar's registers. If one is found the ID of its platform device is saved in the gianfar's platform data. A new function in the gianfar mii code, gfar_get_miibus(), can use the bus ID to search through the platform devices for a gianfar_mdio device with the right ID. The platform device's driver data is the mii_bus structure, which the SerDes setup code can use to lock the current bus.

2008-10-23ftrace, powerpc, sparc64, x86: remove notrace from arch ftrace fileSteven Rostedt
The entire file of ftrace.c in the arch code needs to be marked as notrace. It is much cleaner to do this from the Makefile with CFLAGS_REMOVE_ftrace.o. [ powerpc already had this in its Makefile. ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-10-23ftrace: disable dynamic ftrace for all archs that use daemonSteven Rostedt
The ftrace daemon is complex and can cause nasty races if something goes wrong. Since it affects all of the kernel, this patch disables dynamic ftrace from any arch that depends on the daemon. Until the archs are ported over to the new MCOUNT_RECORD method, I am disabling dynamic ftrace from them. Note: I am leaving in the arch/<arch>/kernel/ftrace.c code alone since that can be used when the arch is ported to MCOUNT_RECORD. To port the arch to MCOUNT_RECORD, the scripts/recordmcount.pl needs to be updated. I will make that easier to do for 2.6.29. For 28, we will keep the archs disabled.

2008-10-22powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernelMohan Kumar M
This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234) is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels. The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in head_64.S. During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter. CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and kdump kernel. This patch incorporates the changes suggested by Paul Mackerras to avoid GOT use and to avoid two copies of the code.

2008-10-22powerpc: Further compile fixup for STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKSDavid Gibson
A patch of mine was recently committed to fix up STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS behaviour on powerpc (f5ea64dcbad89875d130596df14c9b25d994a737). However, something which breaks it again seems to have slipped in afterwards. So, here's another small fix.
