2008-07-09powerpc/cell: cell_dma_dev_setup_iommu() return the iommu tableMark Nelson
Make cell_dma_dev_setup_iommu() return a pointer to the struct iommu_table (or NULL if no table can be found) rather than putting this pointer into dev->archdata.dma_data (let the caller do that), and rename this function to cell_get_iommu_table() to reflect this change. This will allow us to get the iommu table for a device that doesn't have the table in the archdata.

2008-07-09powerpc/dma: implement new dma_*map*_attrs() interfacesMark Nelson
Update powerpc to use the new dma_*map*_attrs() interfaces. In doing so update struct dma_mapping_ops to accept a struct dma_attrs and propagate these changes through to all users of the code (generic IOMMU and the 64bit DMA code, and the iseries and ps3 platform code). The old dma_*map_*() interfaces are reimplemented as calls to the corresponding new interfaces.

2008-07-09powerpc/dma: Add struct iommu_table argument to iommu_map_sg()Mark Nelson
Make iommu_map_sg take a struct iommu_table. It did so before commit 740c3ce66700640a6e6136ff679b067e92125794 (iommu sg merging: ppc: make iommu respect the segment size limits). This stops the function looking in the archdata.dma_data for the iommu table because in the future it will be called with a device that has no table there. This also has the nice side effect of making iommu_map_sg() match the other map functions.

2008-07-09powerpc/spufs: only add ".ctx" file with "debug" mount optionJeremy Kerr
Currently, the .ctx debug file in spu context directories is always present. We'd prefer to prevent users from relying on this file, so add a "debug" mount option to spufs.

2008-07-09powerpc/spufs: allow spufs files to specify sizesJeremy Kerr
Currently, spufs never specifies the i_size for the files in context directories, so stat() always reports 0-byte files.

2008-07-09powerpc/spufs: don't extend time time slice if context is not in spu_runLuke Browning
An spu context shouldn't get an extra tick if the time slice code couldn't find something else to run.

2008-07-09powerpc/spufs: provide context debug fileLuke Browning
Add a ctxt file to spufs that shows spu context information that is used in scheduling. This info can be used for debugging spufs scheduler issues, and to isolate between application and spufs problems as it shows a lot of state such as priorities and dispatch counts. This file contains internal spufs state and is subject to change at any time, and therefore no applications should depend on it. The file is intended for the use of spufs kernel developers.

2008-07-03powerpc/pseries: Update numa association of hotplug memory add for drconf memoryNathan Fontenot
Update the association of a memory section with a numa node that occurs during hotplug add of a memory section. This adds a check in the hot_add_scn_to_nid() routine for the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node in the device tree. If present the new hot_add_drconf_scn_to_nid() routine is invoked, which can properly parse the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node of the device tree and make the proper numa node associations. This also introduces the valid_hot_add_scn() routine as a helper function for code that is common to the hot_add_scn_to_nid() and hot_add_drconf_scn_to_nid() routines.

2008-07-03powerpc/pseries: Update the device tree correctly for drconf memory add/removeNathan Fontenot
This updates the device tree manipulation routines so that memory add/remove of lmbs represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node of the device tree invokes the hotplug notifier chain. This change is needed because of the change in the way memory is represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node. All lmbs are described in the ibm,dynamic-memory property instead of having a separate node for each lmb as in previous device tree layouts. This requires the update_node() routine to check for updates to the ibm,dynamic-memory property and invoke the hotplug notifier chain. This also updates the pseries hotplug notifier to be able to gather information for lmbs represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node and have the lmbs added/removed.

2008-07-03powerpc/pseries: Use base address to derive starting page frame numberNathan Fontenot
Use the base address of the lmb to derive the starting page frame number instead of trying to extract it from the drc index of the lmb. The drc index should not be used for this as it will, and did, break. Until this point, systems that have had memory represented in the device tree with a node for each lmb the drc index would (luckily) closely track the base address of the lmb. For example a lmb with a drc index of 8000000a would have a base address of a0000000. This correlation allowed the current code to derive the starting page frame number from the drc inddex Device tree layouts where lmbs are represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node in the ibm,dynamic-memory property do not have this correlation between the drc index and base address of the lmb.

2008-07-03powerpc/pseries: Allow phandle to be specified in formats other than decimalNathan Fontenot
Allow the phandle passed to the /proc/ppc64/ofdt file to be specified in formats other than decimal. This allows us to easily specify phandle values in hex that would otherwise appear as negative integers. This is an issue on systems where the value of /proc/device-tree/ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory.ibm,phandle is fffffff9. Having to pass this to the ofdt file as a string results in a large negative number, and simple_strtoul() does not handle negative numbers.

2008-07-03powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtimeKumar Gala
To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync at runtime. On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up the code. We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'. We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is needed. This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it for the normal CPU_FTR purpose. Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.

2008-07-01powerpc: Prevent memory corruption due to cache invalidation of unaligned ↵Andrew Lewis
DMA buffer On PowerPC processors with non-coherent cache architectures the DMA subsystem calls invalidate_dcache_range() before performing a DMA read operation. If the address and length of the DMA buffer are not aligned to a cache-line boundary this can result in memory outside of the DMA buffer being invalidated in the cache. If this memory has an uncommitted store then the data will be lost and a subsequent read of that address will result in an old value being returned from main memory. Only when the DMA buffer starts on a cache-line boundary and is an exact mutiple of the cache-line size can invalidate_dcache_range() be called, otherwise flush_dcache_range() must be called. flush_dcache_range() will first flush uncommitted writes, and then invalidate the cache.

2008-07-01powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal supportMichael Neuling
This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available, as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits. Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state. The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31 doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers. Backward compatibility is maintained. The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full registers.

2008-07-01powerpc: Introduce VSX thread_struct and CONFIG_VSXMichael Neuling
The layout of the new VSR registers and how they overlap on top of the legacy FPR and VR registers is: VSR doubleword 0 VSR doubleword 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------- VSR[0] | FPR[0] | | ---------------------------------------------------------------- VSR[1] | FPR[1] | | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ... | | | ... | | ---------------------------------------------------------------- VSR[30] | FPR[30] | | ---------------------------------------------------------------- VSR[31] | FPR[31] | | ---------------------------------------------------------------- VSR[32] | VR[0] | ---------------------------------------------------------------- VSR[33] | VR[1] | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ... | | ... | ---------------------------------------------------------------- VSR[62] | VR[30] | ---------------------------------------------------------------- VSR[63] | VR[31] | ---------------------------------------------------------------- VSX has 64 128bit registers. The first 32 regs overlap with the FP registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits. The second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers. This commit introduces the thread_struct changes required to reflect this register layout. Ptrace and signals code is updated so that the floating point registers are correctly accessed from the thread_struct when CONFIG_VSX is enabled.

2008-07-01powerpc: Introduce infrastructure for feature sections with alternativesMichael Ellerman
The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg: BEGIN_FTR_SECTION or 1,1,1 END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO) BEGIN_FTR_SECTION or 2,2,2 END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO) and the resulting code will be either, or 1,1,1 nop or, nop or 2,2,2 For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops. This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following: BEGIN_FTR_SECTION or 1,1,1 FTR_SECTION_ELSE or 2,2,2 ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO) and the resulting code will be: or 1,1,1 or, or 2,2,2 We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty we nop out the default case. The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the remainder of the section is nop'ed. We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text, so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link, this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases. This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.

2008-07-01powerpc: Make create_branch() return errors if the branch target is too largeMichael Ellerman
If you pass a target value to create_branch() which is more than 32MB - 4, or - 32MB away from the branch site, then it's impossible to create an immediate branch. The current code doesn't check, which will lead to us creating a branch to somewhere else - which is bad. For code that cares to check we return 0, which is easy to check for, and for code that doesn't at least we'll be creating an illegal instruction, rather than a branch to some random address.

2008-07-01powerpc: Allow create_branch() to return errorsMichael Ellerman
Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and patches it into the call site. In some circumstances it would be nice to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before doing the patching. A future commit will change create_branch() to check for errors. For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly. While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *, as this seems to match usage better. That allows (and requires) us to remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change across the patch_branch() call.
