2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: implement error event delivery to user spaceArnd Bergmann
This tries to fix spufs so we have an interface closer to what is specified in the man page for events returned in the third argument of spu_run. Fortunately, libspe has never been using the returned contents of that register, as they were the same as the return code of spu_run (duh!). Unlike the specification that we never implemented correctly, we now require a SPU_CREATE_EVENTS_ENABLED flag passed to spu_create, in order to get the new behavior. When this flag is not passed, spu_run will simply ignore the third argument now. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-04-01[PATCH] powerpc/cell: compile fixesDave Jones
Missing include for __NR_syscalls, and missing sys_splice() that causes build-time failure due to compile-time bounds check on spu_syscall_table. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-03-27[PATCH] spufs: allow SPU code to do syscallsArnd Bergmann
An SPU does not have a way to implement system calls itself, but it can create intercepts to the kernel. This patch uses the method defined by the JSRE interface for C99 host library calls from an SPU to implement Linux system calls. It uses the reserved SPU stop code 0x2104 for this, using the structure layout and syscall numbers for ppc64-linux. I'm still undecided wether it is better to have a list of allowed syscalls or a list of forbidden syscalls, since we can't allow an SPU to call all syscalls that are defined for ppc64-linux. This patch implements the easier choice of them, with a blacklist that only prevents an SPU from calling anything that interacts with its own execution, e.g fork, execve, clone, vfork, exit, spu_run and spu_create and everything that deals with signals.

2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: move spu_run call to its own fileArnd Bergmann
The logic for sys_spu_run keeps growing and it does not really belong into file.c any more since we moved away from using regular file operations to our own syscall. No functional change in here. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
