2009-08-20powerpc/sputrace: Use the generic event tracerChristoph Hellwig
I wrote sputrace before generic tracing infrastrucure was available. Now that we have the generic event tracer we can convert it over and remove a lot of code: 8 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 285 deletions(-) To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable the spufs trace channel by echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/spufs/spufs_context/enable and then read the trace records using e.g. cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Acked-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2008-02-06[POWERPC] spufs: Add marker-based tracing facilityChristoph Hellwig
This adds markers two important points in the spufs code and a new module (sputrace.ko) that allows reading these out through a proc file. Long-term I'd rather see something like lttng extended to use the spufs instrumentation, but for now I think this is a good enough quick solution. We'll probably want to add various addition event in addition to that ones I have already.

2007-12-21[POWERPC] spufs: move fault, lscsa_alloc and switch code to spufs moduleJeremy Kerr
Currently, part of the spufs code (switch.o, lscsa_alloc.o and fault.o) is compiled directly into the kernel. This change moves these components of spufs into the kernel. The lscsa and switch objects are fairly straightforward to move in. For the fault.o module, we split the fault-handling code into two parts: a/p/p/c/spu_fault.c and a/p/p/c/spufs/fault.c. The former is for the in-kernel spu_handle_mm_fault function, and we move the rest of the fault-handling code into spufs.

2007-05-09[POWERPC] Spufs support for 64K LS mappings on 4K kernelsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds an option to spufs when the kernel is configured for 4K page to give it the ability to use 64K pages for SPE local store mappings. Currently, we are optimistic and try order 4 allocations when creating contexts. If that fails, the code will fallback to 4K automatically.

2007-04-23[POWERPC] spufs: make spu page faults not block schedulingArnd Bergmann
Until now, we have always entered the spu page fault handler with a mutex for the spu context held. This has multiple bad side-effects: - it becomes impossible to suspend the context during page faults - if an spu program attempts to access its own mmio areas through DMA, we get an immediate livelock when the nopage function tries to acquire the same mutex This patch makes the page fault logic operate on a struct spu_context instead of a struct spu, and moves it from spu_base.c to a new file fault.c inside of spufs. We now also need to copy the dar and dsisr contents of the last fault into the saved context to have it accessible in case we schedule out the context before activating the page fault handler.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] coredump: Add SPU elf notes to coredump.Dwayne Grant McConnell
This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1, /signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status, /mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id. A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to specify they have extra elf core notes. A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry. A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes would be written after the existing notes. The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via register_arch_coredump_calls(). A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the SPU context for each file read from.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: Add infrastructure needed for gang schedulingArnd Bergmann
Add the concept of a gang to spufs as a new type of object. So far, this has no impact whatsover on scheduling, but makes it possible to add that later. A new type of object in spufs is now a spu_gang. It is created with the spu_create system call with the flags argument set to SPU_CREATE_GANG (0x2). Inside of a spu_gang, it is then possible to create spu_context objects, which until now was only possible at the root of spufs. There is a new member in struct spu_context pointing to the spu_gang it belongs to, if any. The spu_gang maintains a list of spu_context structures that are its children. This information can then be used in the scheduler in the future. There is still a bug that needs to be resolved in this basic infrastructure regarding the order in which objects are removed. When the spu_gang file descriptor is closed before the spu_context descriptors, we leak the dentry and inode for the gang. Any ideas how to cleanly solve this are appreciated.

2006-06-21[POWERPC] spufs: one more fix for 64k pagesarnd@arndb.de
The SPU context save/restore code is currently built for a 4k page size and we provide a _shipped version of it since most people don't have the spu toolchain that is needed to rebuild that code. This patch hardcodes the data structures to a 64k page alignment, which also guarantees 4k alignment but unfortunately wastes 60k of memory per SPU context that is created in the running system. We will follow up on this with another patch to reduce that overhead or maybe redo the context save/restore logic to do this part entirely different, but for now it should make experimental systems work with either page size.

2006-06-21[POWERPC] cell: always build spu base into the kernelarnd@arndb.de
The spu_base module is rather deeply intermixed with the core kernel, so it makes sense to have that built-in.

2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: move spu_run call to its own fileArnd Bergmann

2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: cooperative scheduler supportArnd Bergmann
This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the system. Currently, there is no support for preempting a running SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the owning thread or by sending a signal to it. This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore to read-only.

2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: add spu-side context switch codeMark Nutter
Add the source code that is used to generate spu_save_dump.h and spu_restore_dump.h. Since a full spu tool chain is needed to generate these files, the default remains to use the shipped versions in order to keep the number of tools for building the kernel down.

2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: switchable spu contextsMark Nutter
Add some infrastructure for saving and restoring the context of an SPE. This patch creates a new structure that can hold the whole state of a physical SPE in memory. It also contains code that avoids races during the context switch and the binary code that is loaded to the SPU in order to access its registers. The actual PPE- and SPE-side context switch code are two separate patches. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, baseArnd Bergmann
This is the current version of the spu file system, used for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine. This release is almost identical to the version for the 2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part of the Cell BE Linux distribution from http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/. The first patch provides all the interfaces for running spu application, but does not have any support for debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these functionalities are added in the subsequent patches. See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use spufs.
