powerpc: Merge semaphore.h
Adopted the ppc64 version of semaphore.h. The 32-bit version used
smp_wmb(), but recent updates to atomic.h mean this is no longer required.
The 64-bit version made use of unlikely(), which has been retained in the
combined version.
This patch requires the recent atomic.h patch.

Merge asm-ppc*/rwsem.h into include/asm-powerpc.
Removed smp_*mb() memory barriers from the ppc32 code
as they are now burried in the atomic_*() functions as
suggested by Paul, implemented by Arnd, and pushed out
by Becky. I am not the droid you are looking for.
This patch depends on Becky's atomic.h merge patch.

powerpc: Merge atomic.h and memory.h into powerpc
Merged atomic.h into include/powerpc. Moved asm-style HMT_ defines from
memory.h into ppc_asm.h, where there were already HMT_defines; moved c-style
HMT_ defines to processor.h. Renamed memory.h to synch.h to better reflect
its contents.

The spinlock_types.h merge renamed the structure for raw_spinlock_t to
match ppc64. In doing so some of the spinlock macros/functions needed to
be updated to match. Apparently, this seems to only be caught when

The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines
including the iMac G5. It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time
clock, etc...
The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more
than reading the real time clock synchronously. This is a completely
rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland
interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off
the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors. This driver is a basic block
for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

Merged hw_irq.h between ppc32 & ppc64. Added support to use the Book-E
wrtee[i] instructions that allow modifying MSR[EE] atomically.
Additionally, added get_irq_desc() macros to ppc32 to allow mask_irq(),
unmask_irq(), and ack_irq() to be common between ppc32 & ppc64.
Note: because 64-bit Book-E implementations only have a 32-bit MSR the
macro's for Book-E need to come before the PPC64 macro's to ensure the
right thing happends for 64-bit Book-E processors.

As recently done by Russell King for ARM, commit
4732efbeb997189d9f9b04708dc26bf8613ed721 introduces a generic asm/futex.h copied
along most arches, which includes a "-ENOSYS support" to be changed if needed.
However, it includes an unused var (taken from the "real" version) which GCC
warns about.
Remove it from all arches having that file version (i.e. same GIT id).
$ git-diff-tree -r HEAD
and
$ git-ls-tree -r HEAD include/|grep 9feff4ce1424bc390608326240be369eb13aa648
may be more interesting than looking at the patch itself, to make sure I've
just copied the arm header to all other archs having the original dummy version
of this file.

This is a revised patch to merge asm-ppc*/hardirq.h.
It removes some unnecessary #includes, but then requires
the addition of #include <asm/irq.h> in PPC32's hw_irq.h
much like ppc64 already does. Furthermore, several
unnecessary #includes were removed from some ppc32 boards
in order to break resulting bad #include cycles.

- Add PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG/PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG. The definition is
as follows:
/*
* Get or set a debug register. The first 16 are DABR registers and the
* second 16 are IABR registers.
*/
#define PTRACE_GET_DEBUGREG 25
#define PTRACE_SET_DEBUGREG 26
DABR == data breakpoint and IABR = instruction breakpoint in IBM
speak. We could split out the IABR into 2 more ptrace calls but I
figured there was no need and 16 DABR registers should be more
than enough (POWER4/POWER5 have one).
- Add 2 new SIGTRAP si_codes: TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRANCH. I couldnt
find any standards on either of these so I copied what ia64 is

This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs. When a cpu
is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled. It
can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is
connected to a GPIO pin.
With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which
means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code
refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope
with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).

This is a patch that I have had in my tree for ages. If init causes
an exception that raises a signal, such as a SIGSEGV, SIGILL or
SIGFPE, and it hasn't registered a handler for it, we don't deliver
the signal, since init doesn't get any signals that it doesn't have a
handler for. But that means that we just return to userland and
generate the same exception again immediately. With this patch we
print a message and kill init in this situation.
This is very useful when you have a bug in the kernel that means that
init doesn't get as far as executing its first instruction. :)
Without this patch the system hangs when it gets to starting the
userland init; with it you at least get a message giving you a clue
about what has gone wrong.

This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following
things:
- consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
- simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
- encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
- cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.
The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:
include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16
include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16
I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
SMP | UP
----------------------------|-----------------------------------
asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h
linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h
asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h
linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h
linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h
/*
* here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
*
* on SMP builds:
*
* asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
* initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
* implementations, mostly inline assembly code
*
* (also included on UP-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
* contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*
* on UP builds:
*
* linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
* contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
* (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_up.h:
* contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
* builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
* builds)
*
* (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
* builds the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*/
All SMP and UP architectures are converted by this patch.
arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via
crosscompilers. m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should
be mostly fine.
From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>
Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build
non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.
I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids
some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks
are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT
expect any new issues to arise with them.
If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
(load and clear word).

The following patch changes the usages of PVR_440* into strcmp's with the

briefly tested long ago. One benefit of moving from PVR-tests to string

of comparison.

There were three changes necessary in order to allow
sparc64 to use setup-res.c:
1) Sparc64 roots the PCI I/O and MEM address space using
parent resources contained in the PCI controller structure.
I'm actually surprised no other platforms do this, especially
ones like Alpha and PPC{,64}. These resources get linked into the
iomem/ioport tree when PCI controllers are probed.
So the hierarchy looks like this:
iomem --|
PCI controller 1 MEM space --|
device 1
device 2
etc.
PCI controller 2 MEM space --|
...
ioport --|
PCI controller 1 IO space --|
...
PCI controller 2 IO space --|
...
You get the idea. The drivers/pci/setup-res.c code allocates
using plain iomem_space and ioport_space as the root, so that
wouldn't work with the above setup.
So I added a pcibios_select_root() that is used to handle this.
It uses the PCI controller struct's io_space and mem_space on
sparc64, and io{port,mem}_resource on every other platform to
keep current behavior.
2) quirk_io_region() is buggy. It takes in raw BUS view addresses
and tries to use them as a PCI resource.
pci_claim_resource() expects the resource to be fully formed when
it gets called. The sparc64 implementation would do the translation
but that's absolutely wrong, because if the same resource gets
released then re-claimed we'll adjust things twice.
So I fixed up quirk_io_region() to do the proper pcibios_bus_to_resource()
conversion before passing it on to pci_claim_resource().
3) I was mistakedly __init'ing the function methods the PCI controller
drivers provide on sparc64 to implement some parts of these
routines. This was, of course, easy to fix.
So we end up with the following, and that nasty SPARC64 makefile
ifdef in drivers/pci/Makefile is finally zapped.

ATM pthread_cond_signal is unnecessarily slow, because it wakes one waiter
(which at least on UP usually means an immediate context switch to one of
the waiter threads). This waiter wakes up and after a few instructions it
attempts to acquire the cv internal lock, but that lock is still held by
the thread calling pthread_cond_signal. So it goes to sleep and eventually
the signalling thread is scheduled in, unlocks the internal lock and wakes
the waiter again.
Now, before 2003-09-21 NPTL was using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal
to avoid this performance issue, but it was removed when locks were
redesigned to the 3 state scheme (unlocked, locked uncontended, locked
contended).
Following scenario shows why simply using FUTEX_REQUEUE in
pthread_cond_signal together with using lll_mutex_unlock_force in place of
lll_mutex_unlock is not enough and probably why it has been disabled at
that time:
The number is value in cv->__data.__lock.

Now, I believe it is possible to use FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal,
but it will cost us not one, but 2 extra syscalls and, what's worse, one of
these extra syscalls will be done for every single waiting loop in
pthread_cond_*wait.
We would need to use lll_mutex_unlock_force in pthread_cond_signal after
requeue and lll_mutex_cond_lock in pthread_cond_*wait after lll_futex_wait.
Another alternative is to do the unlocking pthread_cond_signal needs to do
(the lock can't be unlocked before lll_futex_wake, as that is racy) in the
kernel.
I have implemented both variants, futex-requeue-glibc.patch is the first
one and futex-wake_op{,-glibc}.patch is the unlocking inside of the kernel.
The kernel interface allows userland to specify how exactly an unlocking
operation should look like (some atomic arithmetic operation with optional
constant argument and comparison of the previous futex value with another
constant).
It has been implemented just for ppc*, x86_64 and i?86, for other
architectures I'm including just a stub header which can be used as a
starting point by maintainers to write support for their arches and ATM
will just return -ENOSYS for FUTEX_WAKE_OP. The requeue patch has been
(lightly) tested just on x86_64, the wake_op patch on ppc64 kernel running
32-bit and 64-bit NPTL and x86_64 kernel running 32-bit and 64-bit NPTL.
With the following benchmark on UP x86-64 I get:
for i in nptl-orig nptl-requeue nptl-wake_op; do echo time elf/ld.so --library-path .:$i /tmp/bench; \
for j in 1 2; do echo ( time elf/ld.so --library-path .:$i /tmp/bench ) 2>&1; done; done

Older futex-requeue-glibc.patch version is at:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-03/txt00002.txt
Older futex-wake_op-glibc.patch version is at:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-03/txt00003.txt
Will post a new version (just x86-64 fixes so that the patch
applies against pthread_cond_signal.S) to libc-hacker ml soon.
Attached is the kernel FUTEX_WAKE_OP patch as well as a simple-minded
testcase that will not test the atomicity of the operation, but at least
check if the threads that should have been woken up are woken up and
whether the arithmetic operation in the kernel gave the expected results.
