2008-07-14powerpc/85xx: Add support for MPC8536DSKumar Gala
Add support for the MPC8536 process and MPC8536DS reference board. The MPC8536 is an e500v2 based SoC which eTSEC, USB, SATA, PCI, and PCIe. The USB and SATA IP blocks are similiar to those on the PQ2 Pro SoCs and thus use the same drivers. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

2008-07-09powerpc: rework 4xx PTE access and TLB missBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This is some preliminary work to improve TLB management on SW loaded TLB powerpc platforms. This introduce support for non-atomic PTE operations in pgtable-ppc32.h and removes write back to the PTE from the TLB miss handlers. In addition, the DSI interrupt code no longer tries to fixup write permission, this is left to generic code, and _PAGE_HWWRITE is gone.

2008-07-09powerpc/mm: Add Strong Access Ordering supportDave Kleikamp
Allow an application to enable Strong Access Ordering on specific pages of memory on Power 7 hardware. Currently, power has a weaker memory model than x86. Implementing a stronger memory model allows an emulator to more efficiently translate x86 code into power code, resulting in faster code execution. On Power 7 hardware, storing 0b1110 in the WIMG bits of the hpte enables strong access ordering mode for the memory page. This patchset allows a user to specify which pages are thus enabled by passing a new protection bit through mmap() and mprotect(). I have defined PROT_SAO to be 0x10.

This patch defines: - PROT_SAO, which is passed into mmap() and mprotect() in the prot field - VM_SAO in vma->vm_flags, and - _PAGE_SAO, the combination of WIMG bits in the pte that enables strong access ordering for the page.

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.

2008-07-08Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect()David Gibson
As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug. It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect() which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge' argument set to 0. This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong hash entries (of any). Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc tree as commit 016b33c4958681c24056abed8ec95844a0da80a3. I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs. A process write a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and have the child incorrectly see the second write. Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree. Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed much recently). It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect(). Currently, hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform. When they are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and so will have different needs anyway.

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.

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.

2008-07-01Properly notify block layer of sync writesJens Axboe
fsync_buffers_list() and sync_dirty_buffer() both issue async writes and then immediately wait on them. Conceptually, that makes them sync writes and we should treat them as such so that the IO schedulers can handle them appropriately. This patch fixes a write starvation issue that Lin Ming reported, where xx is stuck for more than 2 minutes because of a large number of synchronous IO in the system: INFO: task kjournald:20558 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. kjournald D ffff810010820978 6712 20558 2 ffff81022ddb1d10 0000000000000046 ffff81022e7baa10 ffffffff803ba6f2 ffff81022ecd0000 ffff8101e6dc9160 ffff81022ecd0348 000000008048b6cb 0000000000000086 ffff81022c4e8d30 0000000000000000 ffffffff80247537 Call Trace: [<ffffffff803ba6f2>] kobject_get+0x12/0x17 [<ffffffff80247537>] getnstimeofday+0x2f/0x83 [<ffffffff8029c1ac>] sync_buffer+0x0/0x3f [<ffffffff8066d195>] io_schedule+0x5d/0x9f [<ffffffff8029c1e7>] sync_buffer+0x3b/0x3f [<ffffffff8066d3f0>] __wait_on_bit+0x40/0x6f [<ffffffff8029c1ac>] sync_buffer+0x0/0x3f [<ffffffff8066d48b>] out_of_line_wait_on_bit+0x6c/0x78 [<ffffffff80243909>] wake_bit_function+0x0/0x23 [<ffffffff8029e3ad>] sync_dirty_buffer+0x98/0xcb [<ffffffff8030056b>] journal_commit_transaction+0x97d/0xcb6 [<ffffffff8023a676>] lock_timer_base+0x26/0x4b [<ffffffff8030300a>] kjournald+0xc1/0x1fb [<ffffffff802438db>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e [<ffffffff80302f49>] kjournald+0x0/0x1fb [<ffffffff802437bb>] kthread+0x47/0x74 [<ffffffff8022de51>] schedule_tail+0x28/0x5d [<ffffffff8020cac8>] child_rip+0xa/0x12 [<ffffffff80243774>] kthread+0x0/0x74 [<ffffffff8020cabe>] child_rip+0x0/0x12 Lin Ming confirms that this patch fixes the issue. I've run tests with it for the past week and no ill effects have been observed, so I'm proposing it for inclusion into 2.6.26. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-07-01powerpc: Update for VSX core file and ptraceMichael Neuling
This correctly hooks the VSX dump into Roland McGrath core file infrastructure. It adds the VSX dump information as an additional elf note in the core file (after talking more to the tool chain/gdb guys). This also ensures the formats are consistent between signals, ptrace and core files. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-07-01powerpc: Keep 3 high personality bytes across execEric B Munson
Currently when a 32 bit process is exec'd on a powerpc 64 bit host the value in the top three bytes of the personality is clobbered. patch adds a check in the SET_PERSONALITY macro that will carry all the values in the top three bytes across the exec. These three bytes currently carry flags to disable address randomisation, limit the address space, force zeroing of an mmapped page, etc. Should an application set any of these bits they will be maintained and honoured on homogeneous environment but discarded and ignored on a heterogeneous environment. So if an application requires all mmapped pages to be initialised to zero and a wrapper is used to setup the personality and exec the target, these flags will remain set on an all 32 or all 64 bit envrionment, but they will be lost in the exec on a mixed 32/64 bit environment. Losing these bits means that the same application would behave differently in different environments. Tested on a POWER5+ machine with 64bit kernel and a mixed 64/32 bit user space.
