2008-12-03powerpc: Better setup of boot page TLB entryTrent Piepho
The initial TLB mapping for the kernel boot didn't set the memory coherent attribute, MAS2[M], in SMP mode. If this code supported booting a secondary processor, which it doesn't yet, but if it did, then when a secondary processor boots, it would probably signal the primary processor by setting a variable called something like __secondary_hold_acknowledge. However, due to the lack of the M bit, the primary processor would not snoop the transaction (even if a transaction were broadcast). If primary CPU's L1 D-cache had a copy, it would not be flushed and the CPU would never see the ack. Which would have resulted in the primary CPU spinning for a long time, perhaps a full second before it gives up, while it would have waited for the ack from the secondary CPU that it wouldn't have been able to see because of the stale cache. The value of MAS2 for the boot page TLB1 entry is a compile time constant, so there is no need to calculate it in powerpc assembly language. Also, from the MPC8572 manual section 6.12.5.3, "Bits that represent offsets within a page are ignored and should be cleared." Existing code didn't clear them, this code does. The same when the page of KERNELBASE is found; we don't need to use asm to mask the lower 12 bits off. In the code that computes the address to rfi from, don't hard code the offset to 24 bytes, but have the assembler figure that out for us.

2008-12-03powerpc: Add SPE/EFP math emulation for E500v1/v2 processors.Liu Yu
This patch add the handlers of SPE/EFP exceptions. The code is used to emulate float point arithmetic, when MSR(SPE) is enabled and receive EFP data interrupt or EFP round interrupt. This patch has no conflict with or dependence on FP math-emu. The code has been tested by TestFloat. Now the code doesn't support SPE/EFP instructions emulation (it won't be called when receive program interrupt), but it could be easily added.

2008-12-03powerpc: Add sync_*_for_* to dma_opsBecky Bruce
We need to swap these out once we start using swiotlb, so add them to dma_ops. Create CONFIG_PPC_NEED_DMA_SYNC_OPS Kconfig option; this is currently enabled automatically if we're CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE. In the future, this will also be enabled for builds that need swiotlb. If PPC_NEED_DMA_SYNC_OPS is not defined, the dma_sync_*_for_* ops compile to nothing. Otherwise, they access the dma_ops pointers for the sync ops. This patch also changes dma_sync_single_range_* to actually sync the range - previously it was using a generous dma_sync_single. dma_sync_single_* is now implemented as a dma_sync_single_range with an offset of 0.

2008-12-03powerpc: Add a local_flush_tlb_page to handle kmap_atomic invalidatesKumar Gala
The tlb invalidates in kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic can be called from IRQ context, however they are only local invalidates (on the processor that the kmap was called on). In the future we want to use IPIs to do tlb invalidates this causes issue since flush_tlb_page() is considered a broadcast invalidate. Add local_flush_tlb_page() as a non-broadcast invalidate and use it in kmap_atomic() since we don't have enough information in the flush_tlb_page() call to determine its local.

2008-11-19powerpc: Provide a separate handler for each IPI actionMilton Miller
With the new generic smp call function helpers, I noticed the code in smp_message_recv was a single function call in many cases. While getting the message number from the ipi data is easy, we can reduce the path length by a function and data-dependent switch by registering seperate IPI actions for these simple calls. Originally I left the ipi action array exposed, but then I realized the registration code should be common too. The three users each had their own name array, so I made a fourth to convert all users to use a common one.

2008-11-06powerpc: Improve resolution of VDSO clock_gettimePaul Mackerras
Currently the clock_gettime implementation in the VDSO produces a result with microsecond resolution for the cases that are handled without a system call, i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The nanoseconds field of the result is obtained by computing a microseconds value and multiplying by 1000. This changes the code in the VDSO to do the computation for clock_gettime with nanosecond resolution. That means that the resolution of the result will ultimately depend on the timebase frequency. Because the timestamp in the VDSO datapage (stamp_xsec, the real time corresponding to the timebase count in tb_orig_stamp) is in units of 2^-20 seconds, it doesn't have sufficient resolution for computing a result with nanosecond resolution. Therefore this adds a copy of xtime to the VDSO datapage and updates it in update_gtod() along with the other time-related fields. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2008-11-06powerpc/pci: Split pcibios_fixup_bus() into bus setup and device setupBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Currently, our PCI code uses the pcibios_fixup_bus() callback, which is called by the generic code when probing PCI buses, for two different things. One is to set up things related to the bus itself, such as reading bridge resources for P2P bridges, fixing them up, or setting up the iommu's associated with bridges on some platforms. The other is some setup for each individual device under that bridge, mostly setting up DMA mappings and interrupts. The problem is that this approach doesn't work well with PCI hotplug when an existing bus is re-probed for new children. We fix this problem by splitting pcibios_fixup_bus into two routines: pcibios_setup_bus_self() is now called to setup the bus itself pcibios_setup_bus_devices() is now called to setup devices pcibios_fixup_bus() is then modified to call these two after reading the bridge bases, and the OF based PCI probe is modified to avoid calling into the first one when rescanning an existing bridge.

The 32-bit and 64-bit powerpc PCI code used to set up the resource pointers of the root bus of a given PHB in completely different places. This unifies this in large part, by making 32-bit use a routine very similar to what 64-bit does when initially scanning the PCI busses. The actual setup of the PHB resources itself is then moved to a common function in pci-common.c. This should cause no functional change on 64-bit. On 32-bit, the effect is that the PHB resources are going to be setup a bit earlier, instead of being setup from pcibios_fixup_bus().

2008-10-31powerpc/mpic: Fix regression caused by change of default IRQ affinityKumar Gala
The Freescale implementation of MPIC only allows a single CPU destination for non-IPI interrupts. We add a flag to the mpic_init to distinquish these variants of MPIC. We pull in the irq_choose_cpu from sparc64 to select a single CPU as the destination of the interrupt. This is to deal with the fact that the default smp affinity was changed by commit 18404756765c713a0be4eb1082920c04822ce588 ("genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)") to be all CPUs.

2008-10-31powerpc: Update remaining dma_mapping_ops to use map/unmap_pageMark Nelson
After the merge of the 32 and 64bit DMA code, dma_direct_ops lost their map/unmap_single() functions but gained map/unmap_page(). This caused a problem for Cell because Cell's dma_iommu_fixed_ops called the dma_direct_ops if the fixed linear mapping was to be used or the iommu ops if the dynamic window was to be used. So in order to fix this problem we need to update the 64bit DMA code to use map/unmap_page. First, we update the generic IOMMU code so that iommu_map_single() becomes iommu_map_page() and iommu_unmap_single() becomes iommu_unmap_page(). Then we propagate these changes up through all the callers of these two functions and in the process update all the dma_mapping_ops so that they have map/unmap_page rahter than map/unmap_single. We can do this because on 64bit there is no HIGHMEM memory so map/unmap_page ends up performing exactly the same function as map/unmap_single, just taking different arguments. This has no affect on drivers because the dma_map_single_attrs() just ends up calling the map_page() function of the appropriate dma_mapping_ops and similarly the dma_unmap_single_attrs() calls unmap_page(). This fixes an oops on Cell blades, which oops on boot without this because they call dma_direct_ops.map_single, which is NULL.

Not having these resources allocated causes an oops when removing the PHB when we try to release them.

Commit 54622f10a6aabb8bb2bdacf3dd070046f03dc246 ("powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel") added a magic flag value in a register to tell purgatory that it should be a panic kernel. This part is wrong and is reverted by this commit. The kernel gets a list of memory blocks and a entry point from user space. Its job is to copy the blocks into place and then branch to the designated entry point (after turning "off" the mmu). The user space tool inserts a trampoline, called purgatory, that runs before the user supplied code. Its job is to establish the entry environment for the new kernel or other application based on the contents of memory. The purgatory code is compiled and embedded in the tool, where it is later patched using the elf symbol table using elf symbols. Since the tool knows it is creating a purgatory that will run after a kernel crash, it should just patch purgatory (or the kernel directly) if something needs to happen.

2008-10-22x86, um: get rid of uml signal.hAl Viro
the only theoretical reason for it these days is ppc; aside of uml/ppc being dead, do_signal() would be happier in arch/powerpc/kernel/signal.h anyway. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

2008-10-22powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernelMohan Kumar M
This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234) is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels. The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in head_64.S. During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter. CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and kdump kernel. This patch incorporates the changes suggested by Paul Mackerras to avoid GOT use and to avoid two copies of the code.

2008-10-21powerpc: Fix build issue with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=yKumar Gala
There are two issues when we enable CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. The first is due to the fact that phys_addr_t is now defined in linux/types.h. The second is due to the fact that the DMA code changes expose memstart_addr to prom_init.c Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2008-10-20ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACERSteven Rostedt
Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same. This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.
