It is a fairly common operation to have a pointer to a work and to need a pointer to the delayed work it is contained in. In particular, all delayed works which want to rearm themselves will have to do that. So it would seem fair to offer a helper function for this operation.

PowerPC has been a long time user of the generic RTC abstraction, so hook up rtc-generic: - Create the "rtc-generic" platform device if ppc_md.get_rtc_time is set, - Kill rtc-ppc, as rtc-generic offers the same functionality in a more generic way, and supports autoloading through udev.

2009-03-31proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

2009-03-27powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling codeJosh Boyer
On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the stack pointer passed into the kernel. Most places handle this correctly, but the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal stack frames. This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a sanitized stack pointer. For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack pointer is masked correctly. In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply returned. Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to get the properly sanitized stack. The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit statically. Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-03-24powerpc: setup default archdata for {of_}platform via bus_register_notifierKumar Gala
Since a number of powerpc chips are SoCs we end up having dma-able devices that are registered as platform or of_platform devices. We need to hook the archdata to setup proper dma_ops for these devices. Rather than having to add a bus_notify to each platform we add a default one at the highest priority (called first) to set the default dma_ops for of_platform and platform devices to dma_direct_ops. This allows platform code to override the ops by providing their own notifier call back. In the future to enable >4G DMA support on ppc32 we can hook swiotlb ops.

2009-03-11powerpc/kconfig: Kill PPC_MULTIPLATFORMBenjamin Herrenschmidt
CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is a remain of the pre-powerpc days and isn't really meaningful anymore. It was basically equivalent to PPC64 || 6xx. This removes it along with the following changes: - 32-bit platforms that relied on PPC32 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now rely on 6xx which is what they want anyway. - A new symbol, PPC_BOOK3S, is defined that represent compliance with the "Server" variant of the architecture. This is set when either 6xx or PPC64 is set and open the door for future BOOK3E 64-bit. - 64-bit platforms that relied on PPC64 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now use PPC64 && PPC_BOOK3S - A separate and selectable CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE option is now used to control the use of prom_init.c Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-03-11powerpc/udbg: Fix lost byte during console handover; change LFCR to CRLFAndrew Klossner
When the console is on a serial port to be driven by serial8250, a character can be lost from the end of the first line in the two-line sequence serial8250.0: ttyS0 at MMIO 0xe0004500 (irq = 42) is a 16550A console handover: boot [udbg0] -> real [ttyS0] This happens because udbg_puts or udbg_write stuff the last byte of the line into the Tx FIFO and return, whereupon the serial8250 initialization code immediately empties that FIFO. The fix: udbg_puts and udbg_write now wait for the Tx FIFO to clear before returning. This delays the system by one additional serial frame time for each line written by udbg, but the effect is not noticeable, a cumulative 17 milliseconds for 200 lines of early printk output at 115200 baud. Also, the routines in udbg_16550.c now emit CRLF instead of LFCR. Linux makes a point of emitting CRLF because, when serial output is captured to a file, LFCR sequences can confuse text editors.

2009-03-11powerpc: Make sure we copy all cpu_spec features except PMC related onesMichael Ellerman
When identify_cpu() is called a second time with a logical PVR, it only copies a subset of the cpu_spec fields so as to avoid overwriting the performance monitor fields that were initialized based on the real PVR. However some of the other, non performance monitor related fields are also not copied: * pvr_mask * pvr_value * mmu_features * machine_check The fact that pvr_mask is not copied can result in show_cpuinfo() showing the cpu as "unknown", if we override an unknown PVR with a logical one - as reported by Shaggy. So change the logic to copy all fields, and then put back the PMC related ones in the case that we're overwriting a real PVR with a logical one.

2009-03-10linker script: define __per_cpu_load on all SMP capable archsTejun Heo
Impact: __per_cpu_load available on all SMP capable archs Percpu now requires three symbols to be defined - __per_cpu_load, __per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end. There were three archs which didn't have it. Update them as follows. * powerpc: can use generic PERCPU() macro. Compile tested for powerpc32, compile/boot tested for powerpc64. * ia64: can use generic PERCPU_VADDR() macro. __phys_per_cpu_start is identical to __per_cpu_load. Compile tested and symbol table looks identical after the change except for the additional __per_cpu_load. * arm: added explicit __per_cpu_load definition. Currently uses unified .init output section so can't use the generic macro. Dunno whether the unified .init ouput section is required by arch peculiarity so I left it alone.

2009-02-23powerpc/pseries: Fix partition migration hang under loadBrian King
While testing partition migration with heavy CPU load using shared processors, it was observed that sometimes the migration would never complete and would appear to hang. Currently, the migration code assumes that if H_SUCCESS is returned from the H_JOIN then the migration is complete and the processor is waking up on the target system. If there was an outstanding PROD to the processor when the H_JOIN is called, however, it will return H_SUCCESS on the source system, causing the migration to hang, or in some scenarios cause the kernel to crash on the complete call waking the caller of rtas_percpu_suspend_me. Fix this by calling H_JOIN multiple times if necessary during the migration. Signed-off-by: Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
