2005-07-07[PATCH] ppc64: Turn runlatch on in exception entryAnton Blanchard
Enable the runlatch at the start of each exception. Unfortunately we are out of space in the 0x300 handler, so I added it a bit later. The SPR write is fairly expensive, perhaps we should cache the runlatch state in the paca and avoid the write when possible. We don't need to turn the runlatch off, we do that in the idle loop. Better to take the hit in the idle loop than for each exception exit.

2005-06-30[PATCH] ppc64: Replace custom locking code with a spinlockMichael Ellerman
The hvlpevent_queue (formally ItLpQueue) has a member called xInUseWord which is used for serialising access to the queue. Because it's a word (ie. 32 bit) there's a custom 32-bit version of test_and_set_bit() or thereabouts in ItLpQueue.c. The xInUseWord is not shared with they hypervisor, so we can replace it with a spinlock and remove the custom code. There is also another locking mechanism (ItLpQueueInProcess). This is redundant because it's only manipulated while the lock's held. Remove it.

2005-06-30[PATCH] ppc64: Remove lpqueue pointer from the paca on iSeriesMichael Ellerman
The iSeries code keeps a pointer to the ItLpQueue in its paca struct. But all these pointers end up pointing to the one place, ie. xItLpQueue. So remove the pointer from the paca struct and just refer to xItLpQueue directly where needed. The only complication is that the spread_lpevents logic was implemented by having a NULL lpqueue pointer in the paca on CPUs that weren't supposed to process events. Instead we just compare the spread_lpevents value to the processor id to get the same behaviour.

2005-06-28[PATCH] irqpollAlan Cox
Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options. Its effectiveness varies we've found in the Fedora case. Quite a few systems with misdescribed IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll. It also fixes up the VIA systems although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically). A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for. In those cases it doesn't help.

This is an updated version of Ben's fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64.patch which is in 2.6.12-rc4-mm1. It fixes the patch to work on PPC iSeries, removes some debug printks at Ben's request, and incorporates your fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64-fix.patch also. Originally from Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> This patch was discussed at length on linux-pci and so far, the last iteration of it didn't raise any comment. It's effect is a nop on architecture that don't define the new pci_resource_to_user() callback anyway. It allows architecture like ppc who put weird things inside of PCI resource structures to convert to some different value for user visible ones. It also fixes mmap'ing of IO space on those archs.

2005-06-27[PATCH] Return probe redesign: ppc64 specific implementationRusty Lynch
The following is a patch provided by Ananth Mavinakayanahalli that implements the new PPC64 specific parts of the new function return probe design. NOTE: Since getting Ananth's patch, I changed trampoline_probe_handler() to consume each of the outstanding return probem instances (feedback on my original RFC after Ananth cut a patch), and also added the arch_init() function (adding arch specific initialization.) I have cross compiled but have not testing this on a PPC64 machine. Changes include: * Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back to the original return address. * Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on kretprobe_trampoline * Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation. This is the function that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function and returning control back at the original return address * Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when a caller enters the target function. (A return probe instance contains all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.) * Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

Makes kexec_crashdump() take a pt_regs * as an argument. This allows to get exact register state at the point of the crash. If we come from direct panic assertion NULL will be passed and the current registers saved before crashdump. This hooks into two places: die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal fault. die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the pt_regs and go directly to crash_kexec(). We're probably nested up badly at this point so this might be the only chance to escape with proper information.

2005-06-25[PATCH] ppc64: kexec support for ppc64R Sharada
This patch implements the kexec support for ppc64 platforms. A couple of notes: 1) We copy the pages in virtual mode, using the full base kernel and a statically allocated stack. At kexec_prepare time we scan the pages and if any overlap our (0, _end[]) range we return -ETXTBSY. On PowerPC 64 systems running in LPAR (logical partitioning) mode, only a small region of memory, referred to as the RMO, can be accessed in real mode. Since Linux runs with only one zone of memory in the memory allocator, and it can be orders of magnitude more memory than the RMO, looping until we allocate pages in the source region is not feasible. Copying in virtual means we don't have to write a hash table generation and call hypervisor to insert translations, instead we rely on the pinned kernel linear mapping. The kernel already has move to linked location built in, so there is no requirement to load it at 0. If we want to load something other than a kernel, then a stub can be written to copy a linear chunk in real mode. 2) The start entry point gets passed parameters from the kernel. Slaves are started at a fixed address after copying code from the entry point. All CPUs get passed their firmware assigned physical id in r3 (most calling conventions use this register for the first argument). This is used to distinguish each CPU from all other CPUs. Since firmware is not around, there is no other way to obtain this information other than to pass it somewhere. A single CPU, referred to here as the master and the one executing the kexec call, branches to start with the address of start in r4. While this can be calculated, we have to load it through a gpr to branch to this point so defining the register this is contained in is free. A stack of unspecified size is available at r1 (also common calling convention). All remaining running CPUs are sent to start at absolute address 0x60 after copying the first 0x100 bytes from start to address 0. This convention was chosen because it matches what the kernel has been doing itself. (only gpr3 is defined). Note: This is not quite the convention of the kexec bootblock v2 in the kernel. A stub has been written to convert between them, and we may adjust the kernel in the future to allow this directly without any stub. 3) Destination pages can be placed anywhere, even where they would not be accessible in real mode. This will allow us to place ram disks above the RMO if we choose.
