2010-08-24powerpc/pci: Fix checking for child bridges in PCI code.Grant Likely
pci_device_to_OF_node() can return null, and list_for_each_entry will never enter the loop when dev is NULL, so it looks like this test is a typo.

2010-08-24powerpc: Initialise paca->kstack before early_setup_secondaryMatt Evans
As early setup calls down to slb_initialize(), we must have kstack initialised before checking "should we add a bolted SLB entry for our kstack?" Failing to do so means stack access requires an SLB miss exception to refill an entry dynamically, if the stack isn't accessible via SLB(0) (kernel text & static data). It's not always allowable to take such a miss, and intermittent crashes will result. Primary CPUs don't have this issue; an SLB entry is not bolted for their stack anyway (as that lives within SLB(0)). This patch therefore only affects the init of secondaries.

2010-08-24powerpc: Fix bogus it_blocksize in VIO iommu codeAnton Blanchard
When looking at some issues with the virtual ethernet driver I noticed that TCE allocation was following a very strange pattern: address 00e9000 length 2048 address 0409000 length 2048 <----- address 0429000 length 2048 address 0449000 length 2048 address 0469000 length 2048 address 0489000 length 2048 address 04a9000 length 2048 address 04c9000 length 2048 address 04e9000 length 2048 address 4009000 length 2048 <----- address 4029000 length 2048 Huge unexplained gaps in what should be an empty TCE table. It turns out it_blocksize, the amount we want to align the next allocation to, was c0000000fe903b20. Completely bogus. Initialise it to something reasonable in the VIO IOMMU code, and use kzalloc everywhere to protect against this when we next add a non compulsary field to iommu code and forget to initialise it.

2010-08-24powerpc: Silence __cpu_up() under normal operationSigned-off-by: Darren Hart
During CPU offline/online tests __cpu_up would flood the logs with the following message: Processor 0 found. This provides no useful information to the user as there is no context provided, and since the operation was a success (to this point) it is expected that the CPU will come back online, providing all the feedback necessary. Change the "Processor found" message to DBG() similar to other such messages in the same function. Also, add an appropriate log level for the "Processor is stuck" message.

2010-08-24powerpc: Re-enable preemption before cpu_die()Signed-off-by: Darren Hart
start_secondary() is called shortly after _start and also via cpu_idle()->cpu_die()->pseries_mach_cpu_die() start_secondary() expects a preempt_count() of 0. pseries_mach_cpu_die() is called via the cpu_idle() routine with preemption disabled, resulting in the following repeating message during rapid cpu offline/online tests with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y: BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0x00000002 Modules linked in: autofs4 binfmt_misc dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] Call Trace: [c00000010e7079c0] [c0000000000133ec] .show_stack+0xd8/0x218 (unreliable) [c00000010e707aa0] [c0000000006a47f0] .dump_stack+0x28/0x3c [c00000010e707b20] [c00000000006e7a4] .__schedule_bug+0x7c/0x9c [c00000010e707bb0] [c000000000699d9c] .schedule+0x104/0x800 [c00000010e707cd0] [c000000000015b24] .cpu_idle+0x1c4/0x1d8 [c00000010e707d70] [c0000000006aa1b4] .start_secondary+0x398/0x3d4 [c00000010e707e30] [c000000000008278] .start_secondary_resume+0x10/0x14 Move the cpu_die() call inside the existing preemption enabled block of cpu_idle().

2010-08-17Make do_execve() take a const filename pointerDavid Howells
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles correctly on ARM: arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine. Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match. This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

2010-07-31powerpc/kexec: Fix orphaned offline CPUs across kexecMatt Evans
When CPU hotplug is used, some CPUs may be offline at the time a kexec is performed. The subsequent kernel may expect these CPUs to be already running, and will declare them stuck. On pseries, there's also a soft-offline (cede) state that CPUs may be in; this can also cause problems as the kexeced kernel may ask RTAS if they're online -- and RTAS would say they are. The CPU will either appear stuck, or will cause a crash as we replace its cede loop beneath it. This patch kicks each present offline CPU awake before the kexec, so that none are forever lost to these assumptions in the subsequent kernel. Now, the behaviour is that all available CPUs that were offlined are now online & usable after the kexec. This mimics the behaviour of a full reboot (on which all CPUs will be restarted).

2010-07-28powerpc: Clean up obsolete code relating to decrementer and timebasePaul Mackerras
Since the decrementer and timekeeping code was moved over to using the generic clockevents and timekeeping infrastructure, several variables and functions have been obsolete and effectively unused. This deletes them. In particular, wakeup_decrementer() is no longer needed since the generic code reprograms the decrementer as part of the process of resuming the timekeeping code, which happens during sysdev resume. Thus the wakeup_decrementer calls in the suspend_enter methods for 52xx platforms have been removed. The call in the powermac cpu frequency change code has been replaced by set_dec(1), which will cause a timer interrupt as soon as interrupts are enabled, and the generic code will then reprogram the decrementer with the correct value. This also simplifies the generic_suspend_en/disable_irqs functions and makes them static since they are not referenced outside time.c. The preempt_enable/disable calls are removed because the generic code has disabled all but the boot cpu at the point where these functions are called, so we can't be moved to another cpu.

2010-07-28powerpc: Rework VDSO gettimeofday to prevent time going backwardsPaul Mackerras
Currently it is possible for userspace to see the result of gettimeofday() going backwards by 1 microsecond, assuming that userspace is using the gettimeofday() in the VDSO. The VDSO gettimeofday() algorithm computes the time in "xsecs", which are units of 2^-20 seconds, or approximately 0.954 microseconds, using the algorithm now = (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs + stamp_xsec and then converts the time in xsecs to seconds and microseconds. The kernel updates the tb_orig_stamp and stamp_xsec values every tick in update_vsyscall(). If the length of the tick is not an integer number of xsecs, then some precision is lost in converting the current time to xsecs. For example, with CONFIG_HZ=1000, the tick is 1ms long, which is 1048.576 xsecs. That means that stamp_xsec will advance by either 1048 or 1049 on each tick. With the right conditions, it is possible for userspace to get (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being 1049 if the kernel is slightly late in updating the vdso_datapage, and then for stamp_xsec to advance by 1048 when the kernel does update it, and for userspace to then see (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being zero due to integer truncation. The result is that time appears to go backwards by 1 microsecond. To fix this we change the VDSO gettimeofday to use a new field in the VDSO datapage which stores the nanoseconds part of the time as a fractional number of seconds in a 0.32 binary fraction format. (Or put another way, as a 32-bit number in units of 0.23283 ns.) This is convenient because we can use the mulhwu instruction to convert it to either microseconds or nanoseconds. Since it turns out that computing the time of day using this new field is simpler than either using stamp_xsec (as gettimeofday does) or stamp_xtime.tv_nsec (as clock_gettime does), this converts both gettimeofday and clock_gettime to use the new field. The existing __do_get_tspec function is converted to use the new field and take a parameter in r7 that indicates the desired resolution, 1,000,000 for microseconds or 1,000,000,000 for nanoseconds. The __do_get_xsec function is then unused and is deleted. The new algorithm is now = ((timebase - tb_orig_stamp) << 12) * tb_to_xs + (stamp_xtime_seconds << 32) + stamp_sec_fraction with 'now' in units of 2^-32 seconds. That is then converted to seconds and either microseconds or nanoseconds with seconds = now >> 32 partseconds = ((now & 0xffffffff) * resolution) >> 32 The 32-bit VDSO code also makes a further simplification: it ignores the bottom 32 bits of the tb_to_xs value, which is a 0.64 format binary fraction. Doing so gets rid of 4 multiply instructions. Assuming a timebase frequency of 1GHz or less and an update interval of no more than 10ms, the upper 32 bits of tb_to_xs will be at least 4503599, so the error from ignoring the low 32 bits will be at most 2.2ns, which is more than an order of magnitude less than the time taken to do gettimeofday or clock_gettime on our fastest processors, so there is no possibility of seeing inconsistent values due to this. This also moves update_gtod() down next to its only caller, and makes update_vsyscall use the time passed in via the wall_time argument rather than accessing xtime directly. At present, wall_time always points to xtime, but that could change in future. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-07-27perf, powerpc: Use perf_sample_data_init() for the FSL codePeter Zijlstra
We should use perf_sample_data_init() to initialize struct perf_sample_data. As explained in the description of commit dc1d628a ("perf: Provide generic perf_sample_data initialization"), it is possible for userspace to get the kernel to dereference data.raw, so if it is not initialized, that means that unprivileged userspace can possibly oops the kernel. Using perf_sample_data_init makes sure it gets initialized to NULL. This conversion should have been included in commit dc1d628a, but it got missed.

2010-07-27timkeeping: Fix update_vsyscall to provide wall_to_monotonic offsetJohn Stultz
update_vsyscall() did not provide the wall_to_monotoinc offset, so arch specific implementations tend to reference wall_to_monotonic directly. This limits future cleanups in the timekeeping core, so this patch fixes the update_vsyscall interface to provide wall_to_monotonic, allowing wall_to_monotonic to be made static as planned in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt Signed-off-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <1279068988-21864-7-git-send-email-johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2010-07-26powerpc/40x: Distinguish AMCC PowerPC 405EX and 405EXr correctlyLee Nipper
The recent AMCC 405EX Rev D without Security uses a PVR value that matches the old 405EXr Rev A/B with Security. The 405EX Rev D without Security would be shown incorrectly as an 405EXr. The pvr_mask of 0xffff0004 is no longer sufficient to distinguish the 405EX from 405EXr. This patch replaces 2 entries in the cpu_specs table and adds 8 more, each using pvr_mask of 0xffff000f and appropriate pvr_value to distinguish the AMCC PowerPC 405EX and 405EXr instances. The cpu_name for these entries now includes the Rev, in similar fashion to the 440GX. Signed-off-by: Lee Nipper <lee.nipper@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2010-07-24of: remove of_default_bus_idsJonas Bonn
This list used was by only two platforms with all other platforms defining an own list of valid bus id's to pass to of_platform_bus_probe. This patch: i) copies the default list to the two platforms that depended on it (powerpc) ii) remove the usage of of_default_bus_ids in of_platform_bus_probe iii) removes the definition of the list from all architectures that defined it Passing a NULL 'matches' parameter to of_platform_bus_probe is still valid; the function returns no error in that case as the NULL value is equivalent to an empty list.
