2008-06-09[POWERPC] Fix incorrect enabling of VMX when building signal or user contextBenjamin Herrenschmidt
When building a signal or a ucontext, we can incorrectly set the MSR_VEC bit of the kernel pt_regs->msr before returning to userspace if the task -ever- used VMX. This can lead to funny result if that stack used it in the past, then "lost" it (ie. it wasn't enabled after a context switch for example) and then called get_context. It can end up with VMX enabled and the registers containing values from some other task.

2008-06-02[POWERPC] 40x/Book-E: Save/restore volatile exception registersKumar Gala
On machines with more than one exception level any system register that might be modified by the "normal" exception level needs to be saved and restored on taking a higher level exception. We already are saving and restoring ESR and DEAR. For critical level add SRR0/1. For debug level add CSRR0/1 and SRR0/1. For machine check level add DSRR0/1, CSRR0/1, and SRR0/1. On FSL Book-E parts we always save/restore the MAS registers for critical, debug, and machine check level exceptions. On 44x we always save/restore the MMUCR. Additionally, we save and restore the ksp_limit since we have to adjust it for each exception level. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2008-05-16[POWERPC] Defer processing of interrupts when the CPU wakes from sleep modePaul Mackerras
This provides a way to defer processing of an interrupt that wakes the processor out of sleep mode. On 32-bit platforms that use an interrupt to wake the processor, we have to have interrupts enabled in hardware at the point where we go to sleep, otherwise the processor will never wake up. However, because interrupts are logically disabled at this point, we don't want to process the interrupt straight away. This is handled by setting the _TLF_SLEEPING flag. When we get an interrupt and _TLF_SLEEPING is set, we firstly clear the MSR_EE (external interrupt enable) bit in the saved MSR value, and secondly we then return to the address in the link register, like we do for _TLF_NAPPING, but without actually handling the interrupt. Note that this is handled somewhat differently on powerbooks, so this new code will only be used on non-Apple machines. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The new 440x6 core used on AMCC 460EX/GT introduces new storage attibure fields to the TLB2 word. Those are: Bit 11 12 13 14 15 WL1 IL1I IL1D IL2I IL2D With these bits the cache (L1 and L2) can be configured in a more flexible way, instruction- and data-cache independently now. The "old" I and W bits are still available and setting these old bits will automically set these new bits too (for backward compatibilty).

This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated code. It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers) I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL isn't needed.

2008-05-02[POWERPC] Bolt in SLB entry for kernel stack on secondary cpusPaul Mackerras
This fixes a regression reported by Kamalesh Bulabel where a POWER4 machine would crash because of an SLB miss at a point where the SLB miss exception was unrecoverable. This regression is tracked at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10082 SLB misses at such points shouldn't happen because the kernel stack is the only memory accessed other than things in the first segment of the linear mapping (which is mapped at all times by entry 0 of the SLB). The context switch code ensures that SLB entry 2 covers the kernel stack, if it is not already covered by entry 0. None of entries 0 to 2 are ever replaced by the SLB miss handler. Where this went wrong is that the context switch code assumes it doesn't have to write to SLB entry 2 if the new kernel stack is in the same segment as the old kernel stack, since entry 2 should already be correct. However, when we start up a secondary cpu, it calls slb_initialize, which doesn't set up entry 2. This is correct for the boot cpu, where we will be using a stack in the kernel BSS at this point (i.e. init_thread_union), but not necessarily for secondary cpus, whose initial stack can be allocated anywhere. This doesn't cause any immediate problem since the SLB miss handler will just create an SLB entry somewhere else to cover the initial stack. In fact it's possible for the cpu to go quite a long time without SLB entry 2 being valid. Eventually, though, the entry created by the SLB miss handler will get overwritten by some other entry, and if the next access to the stack is at an unrecoverable point, we get the crash. This fixes the problem by making slb_initialize create a suitable entry for the kernel stack, if we are on a secondary cpu and the stack isn't covered by SLB entry 0. This requires initializing the get_paca()->kstack field earlier, so I do that in smp_create_idle where the current field is initialized. This also abstracts a bit of the computation that mk_esid_data in slb.c does so that it can be used in slb_initialize. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2008-04-30[POWERPC] Fix crashkernel= handling when no crashkernel= specifiedMichael Ellerman
Commit edd8ce67436851a62f99f1d9707b40ea6a8e5323 (Use extended crashkernel command line on ppc64), changed the logic in reserve_crashkernel() which deals with the crashkernel= command line option. This introduced a bug in the case when there is no crashkernel= option, or it is incorrect. We would fall through and calculate the crash_size based on the existing values in crashk_res. If both start and end are 0, the default, we calculate the crash_size as 1 byte - which is wrong. Rework the logic so that we use crashk_res, regardless of whether it's set by the command line or via the device tree (see prom.c). Then check if we have an empty range (end == start), and if so make sure to set both end and start to zero (this is checked in machine_kexec_64.c). Then we calculate the crash_size once we know we have a non-zero range. Finally we always want to warn the user if they specify a base != 32MB, so remove the special case for that in the command line parsing case.

2008-04-29[POWERPC] Add fast little-endian switch system callPaul Mackerras
This adds a system call on 64-bit platforms for switching between little-endian and big-endian modes that is much faster than doing a prctl call. This system call is handled as a special case right at the start of the system call entry code, and because it is a special case, it uses a system call number which is out of the range of normal system calls, namely 0x1ebe. Measurements with lmbench on a 4.2GHz POWER6 showed no measurable change in the speed of normal system calls with this patch. Switching endianness with this new system call takes around 60ns on a 4.2GHz POWER6, compared with around 300ns to switch endian mode with a prctl. This can provide a significant performance advantage for emulators for little-endian architectures that want to switch between big-endian and little-endian mode frequently, e.g. because they are generating instructions sequences on the fly and they want to run those sequences in little-endian mode. The other thing about this system call is that it doesn't clobber as many registers as a normal system call. It only clobbers r12. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2008-04-24[POWERPC] Mark udbg console as CON_ANYTIME, ie. callable early in bootMichael Ellerman
The udbg console should be safe to call basically at any time after boot. It does not need any per-cpu resources or for the cpu to be online, as long as there is a udbg_putc routine hooked up it should work. So mark it as CON_ANYTIME.

2008-04-24[POWERPC] Set udbg_console index to 0Michael Ellerman
Because the udbg_console has CON_ENABLED set, it's possible that when we register it with the console code the index won't be set. This leads to slightly confusing boot messages like: [ 0.000000] console [udbg-1] enabled We could remove CON_ENABLED, but we don't want to do that, we always want the udbg console to be activated, even if the user specified some other console on the command line. The simplest fix seems to be just to set the index to 0 by hand. There is no issue with duplicate udbg consoles, as we guard against registering multiple times in register_early_udbg_console().
