2005-06-24[PATCH] ppc64: fix seccomp with 32-bit userlandAndrea Arcangeli
The seccomp check has to happen when entering the syscall and not when exiting it or regs->gpr[0] contains garabge during signal handling in ppc64_rt_sigreturn (this actually might be a bug too, but an orthogonal one, since we really have to run the check before invoking the syscall and not after it).

2005-06-23[PATCH] Move kprobe [dis]arming into arch specific codeRusty Lynch
The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is arming and disarming kprobes at registration time. The problem is that the code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write of some magic value to an address. This is problematic for ia64 where our instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points by just doing something like: *p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION; The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent functions: * void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) * void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p) and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64). I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe() function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So... I took the liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing with the recursive kprobe case. So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still needs to be tested in sparc64.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Maple powerdown patchDavid Gibson
Currently reset and powerdown are not implemented on the Maple board, and attempting to do so will (incorrectly return). This implements the proper communication with the service processor, allowing correct reset and powerdown on the Maple board, by communicating with the service processor. If somehow it's unable to communicate with the service processor it will loop forever instead. Note that powerdown on the Maple will power down the CPUs, but not the fans or other board components due to hardware and firmware limitations.

2005-06-23[PATCH] pSeries - read irqs dynamicallyJohn Rose
For I/O DLPAR to work properly, the kernel needs to allow for dynamic assignment of the irq field of the pci_dev structure upon dynamic bus addition. This patch moves the assignment of that field from pSeries_final_fixup() to pcibios_fixup_bus(), which enables dynamic assignment for the children of a newly added bus. Currently, pci_devs receive their irq numbers in one of two ways. The irq line is either read at boot for all pci_devs, or read by the rpaphp module at slot enable time. The latter is no longer sufficient for DLPAR addition of slots that don't qualify as PCI-hotplug capable. This solution handles the cases of boot and dynamic add.

2005-06-23[PATCH] correct printing to operator panelMike Strosaker
This patch corrects the printing of progress indicators to the op panel on p/iSeries ppc64 systems. Each discrete reference code should begin with a form feed char to clear the op panel, and the first and second lines should be separated with a CR/LF sequence. Padding with spaces is not necessary. Also, capitalize the hex value printed on the first line, to be consistent with the values printed by firmware, service processor, etc. It turns out that there's an ibm,form-feed property; this patch uses it in the pSeries-specific progress routine. This patch also checks the number of rows and the specific width of each row (the second row on power5 systems can actually hold 80 characters). If the displayed text is too wide for the physical display, it can be viewed in the ASM menus, or by selecting option 14 on the op panel.

2005-06-23[PATCH] ppc64: Add driver for BPA iommuArnd Bergmann
Implementation of software load support for the BE iommu. This is very different from other iommu code on ppc64, since we only do a static mapping. The mapping is currently hardcoded but should really be read from the firmware, but they don't set up the device nodes yet. There is a single 512MB DMA window for PCI, USB and ethernet at 0x20000000 for our RAM. The Cell processor can put the I/O page table either in memory like the hashed page table (hardware load) or have the operating system write the entries into memory mapped CPU registers (software load). I use the software load mechanism because I know that all I/O page table entries for the amount of installed physical memory fit into the IO TLB cache. At the point when we get machines with more than 4GB of installed memory, we can either use hardware I/O page table access like the other platforms do or dynamically update the I/O TLB entries when a page fault occurs in the I/O subsystem. The software load can then use the macros that I have implemented for the static mapping in order to do the TLB cache updates.

2005-06-23[PATCH] ppc64: Add driver for BPA interrupt controllersArnd Bergmann
Add support for the integrated interrupt controller on BPA CPUs. There is one of those for each SMT thread. The mapping of interrupt numbers to HW interrupt sources is described in arch/ppc64/kernel/bpa_iic.h. This version hardcodes the 'Spider' chip as the secondary interrupt controller. That is not really generic for the architecture, but at the moment it is the only secondary PIC that exists. A little more work will be needed on this as soon as we have boards with multiple external interrupt controllers.

2005-06-23[PATCH] ppc64: pSeries_progress -> rtas_progressArnd Bergmann
The pSeries_progress function is called from some places in the rtas code, which may also be used by non-pSeries platforms. Though pSeries is currently the only platform type that implements display-character, the code is actually generic enough to be part of the rtas subsystem. I hit a bug here because the generic rtas code tried calling ppc_md.progress, which points to an __init function on most platforms. We could also clear the ppc_md.progress pointer when freeing the init memory to make it more explicit that ppc_md.progress must not be called after bootup.

Some of the related declarations were missing from header files, so I'm moving those as well. It makes sense to merge this with the pmac function of the same name, so we end up having just one implemetation for iSeries and one for Open Firmware based machines.

This simplifies the code in a number of places and eliminates an unecessary set of pagetables. It also tweaks the unmap/free path a little, allowing us to remove the unmap_im_area() set of page table walkers, replacing them with unmap_vm_area().

2005-06-21[PATCH] smp_processor_id() cleanupIngo Molnar
This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that Arjan van de Ven and I came up with. The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the usage side. Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined __smp_processor_id. In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols: - smp_processor_id(): debug variant. - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h. There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT: - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to smp_processor_id(). Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or clarified. I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86: {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT} I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT.

We now simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in /proc with random result... - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was buggy and didn't always work anyway. - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching dentry and inode cache bloat.

Apple's Open Firmware has a funny bug when creating the /cpus nodes where it leaves a dangling '\0' character in the CPU name which ends up appearing in the full path of the node. This is bogus and confuses /proc/device-tree badly. This patch strips those bogus zero's from the node full path when reading the device-tree from Open Firmware. The "name" property is not modified and still contains the spurrious 0 (it basically contains 0 tailing 0 instead of one) but that shouldn't be a problem. An equivalent patch for ppc32 will follow shortly Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
