2006-10-25[POWERPC] add support for stopping spus from xmonMichael Ellerman
This patch adds support for stopping, and restarting, spus from xmon. We use the spu master runcntl bit to stop execution, this is apparently the "right" way to control spu execution and spufs will be changed in the future to use this bit. Testing has shown that to restart execution we have to turn the master runcntl bit on and also rewrite the spu runcntl bit, even if it is already set to 1 (running). Stopping spus is triggered by the xmon command 'ss' - "spus stop" perhaps. Restarting them is triggered via 'sr'. Restart doesn't start execution on spus unless they were running prior to being stopped by xmon. Walking the spu->full_list in xmon after a panic, would mean corruption of any spu struct would make all the others inaccessible. To avoid this, and also to make the next patch easier, we cache pointers to all spus during boot. We attempt to catch and recover from errors while stopping and restarting the spus, but as with most xmon functionality there are no guarantees that performing these operations won't crash xmon itself.

2006-10-04[POWERPC] Fix xmon=off and cleanup xmon initialisationMichael Ellerman
My patch to make the early xmon logic work with earlier early param parsing (480f6f35a149802a94ad5c1a2673ed6ec8d2c158) breaks xmon=off. No one does this obviously as xmon rocks, but it should really work as documented. While fixing that it struck me that we could move the xmon param handling into xmon.c, and also consolidate the xmon_init()/do_early_xmon logic into xmon_setup(). This means xmon=early drops into xmon a little earlier on 32-bit, but it seems to work just fine. Tested on PSERIES and CLASSIC32.

2006-10-04[POWERPC] Cleanup include/asm-powerpc/xmon.hMichael Ellerman
For some reason we have two prototypes for xmon_init(), remove the one in system.h. No one calls xmon() anymore, debugger() is preferable, so we don't need the prototype. And similarly no one calls xmon_printf(). Also update the include guards on xmon.h to match the standard format, add copyright and license, and add comments to #endifs. Built for pseries_defconfig and pmac32_defconfig. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-08powerpc: Simplify and clean up the xmon terminal I/OPaul Mackerras
This factors out the common bits of arch/powerpc/xmon/start_*.c into a new nonstdio.c, and removes some stuff that was supposed to make xmon's I/O routines somewhat stdio-like but was never used. It also makes the parsing of the xmon= command line option common, so that ppc32 can now use xmon={off,on,early} also. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2005-10-28powerpc: Merge xmonPaul Mackerras
The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly, and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version. The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call show_state (which was always pretty dodgy) has been replaced by the ppc32 'p' command, which calls a given procedure (so in fact the old 'p' command behaviour can be achieved with 'p $show_state').
