2008-04-24[SPARC64]: %l6 trap return handling no longer necessary.David S. Miller
Now that we indicate the "restart system call" in the trap type field of pt_regs->magic, we don't need to set the %l6 boolean in all of the trap return paths. And we therefore don't need to pass it to do_notify_resume(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-31[SPARC64]: Kill unused ITAG_MASK macro in ultra.SDavid S. Miller
It is unused since we went to an I-cache flush that solely used the 'flush' instruction, and it's presence breaks the build when PAGE_SIZE is 512KB. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Fix new context version SMP handling.David S. Miller
Don't piggy back the SMP receive signal code to do the context version change handling. Instead allocate another fixed PIL number for this asynchronous cross-call. We can't use smp_call_function() because this thing is invoked with interrupts disabled and a few spinlocks held. Also, fix smp_call_function_mask() to count "cpus" correctly. There is no guarentee that the local cpu is in the mask yet that is exactly what this code was assuming. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Bulletproof hypervisor TLB flushing.David S. Miller
Check TLB flush hypervisor calls for errors and report them. Pass HV_MMU_ALL always for now, we can add back the optimization to avoid the I-TLB flush later. Always explicitly page align the virtual address arguments. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Sanitize %pstate writes for sun4v.David S. Miller
If we're just switching between different alternate global sets, nop it out on sun4v. Also, get rid of all of the alternate global save/restore in the OBP CIF trampoline code. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Fix bogus flush instruction usage.David S. Miller
Some of the trap code was still assuming that alternate global %g6 was hard coded with current_thread_info(). Let's just consistently flush at KERNBASE when we need a pipeline synchronization. That's locked into the TLB and will always work. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Elminate all usage of hard-coded trap globals.David S. Miller
UltraSPARC has special sets of global registers which are switched to for certain trap types. There is one set for MMU related traps, one set of Interrupt Vector processing, and another set (called the Alternate globals) for all other trap types. For what seems like forever we've hard coded the values in some of these trap registers. Some examples include: 1) Interrupt Vector global %g6 holds current processors interrupt work struct where received interrupts are managed for IRQ handler dispatch. 2) MMU global %g7 holds the base of the page tables of the currently active address space. 3) Alternate global %g6 held the current_thread_info() value. Such hardcoding has resulted in some serious issues in many areas. There are some code sequences where having another register available would help clean up the implementation. Taking traps such as cross-calls from the OBP firmware requires some trick code sequences wherein we have to save away and restore all of the special sets of global registers when we enter/exit OBP. We were also using the IMMU TSB register on SMP to hold the per-cpu area base address, which doesn't work any longer now that we actually use the TSB facility of the cpu. The implementation is pretty straight forward. One tricky bit is getting the current processor ID as that is different on different cpu variants. We use a stub with a fancy calling convention which we patch at boot time. The calling convention is that the stub is branched to and the (PC - 4) to return to is in register %g1. The cpu number is left in %g6. This stub can be invoked by using the __GET_CPUID macro. We use an array of per-cpu trap state to store the current thread and physical address of the current address space's page tables. The TRAP_LOAD_THREAD_REG loads %g6 with the current thread from this table, it uses __GET_CPUID and also clobbers %g1. TRAP_LOAD_IRQ_WORK is used by the interrupt vector processing to load the current processor's IRQ software state into %g6. It also uses __GET_CPUID and clobbers %g1. Finally, TRAP_LOAD_PGD_PHYS loads the physical address base of the current address space's page tables into %g7, it clobbers %g1 and uses __GET_CPUID. Many refinements are possible, as well as some tuning, with this stuff in place. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-20[SPARC64]: Move away from virtual page tables, part 1.David S. Miller
We now use the TSB hardware assist features of the UltraSPARC MMUs. SMP is currently knowingly broken, we need to find another place to store the per-cpu base pointers. We hid them away in the TSB base register, and that obviously will not work any more :-) Another known broken case is non-8KB base page size. Also noticed that flush_tlb_all() is not referenced anywhere, only the internal __flush_tlb_all() (local cpu only) is used by the sparc64 port, so we can get rid of flush_tlb_all(). The kernel gets it's own 8KB TSB (swapper_tsb) and each address space gets it's own private 8K TSB. Later we can add code to dynamically increase the size of per-process TSB as the RSS grows. An 8KB TSB is good enough for up to about a 4MB RSS, after which the TSB starts to incur many capacity and conflict misses. We even accumulate OBP translations into the kernel TSB. Another area for refinement is large page size support. We could use a secondary address space TSB to handle those. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-10-14[SPARC64]: Fix powering off on SMP.David S. Miller
Doing a "SUNW,stop-self" firmware call on the other cpus is not the correct thing to do when dropping into the firmware for a halt, reboot, or power-off. For now, just do nothing to quiet the other cpus, as the system should be quiescent enough. Later we may decide to implement smp_send_stop() like the other SMP platforms do. Based upon a report from Christopher Zimmermann. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-26[SPARC64]: Do not do TLB pre-filling any more.David S. Miller
In order to do it correctly on UltraSPARC-III+ and later we'd need to add some complicated code to set the TAG access extension register before loading the TLB. Since this optimization gives questionable gains, it's best to just remove it for now instead of adding the fix for Ultra-III+ Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-26[SPARC64]: Simplify Spitfire D-cache page flush.David S. Miller

2005-06-27[SPARC64]: Avoid membar instructions in delay slots.David S. Miller
In particular, avoid membar instructions in the delay slot of a jmpl instruction. UltraSPARC-I, II, IIi, and IIe have a bug, documented in the UltraSPARC-IIi User's Manual, Appendix K, Erratum 51 The long and short of it is that if the IMU unit misses on a branch or jmpl, and there is a store buffer synchronizing membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions. If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the chip will unwedge itself, but performance will suffer. We already had a workaround for this bug in a few spots, but it's better to have the entire tree sanitized for this rule. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
