[PATCH] powerpc/cell: add iommu support for larger memory
So far, the iommu code was hardwired to a linear mapping
between 0x20000000 and 0x40000000, so it could only support
512MB of RAM.
This patch still keeps the linear mapping, but looks for
proper ibm,dma-window properties to set up larger windows,
this makes the maximum supported RAM size 2GB.
If there is anything unusual about the dma-window properties,
we fall back to the old behavior.
We also support switching off the iommu completely now
with the regular iommu=off command line option.

[PATCH] spufs: fix mailbox polling
Handling mailbox interrupts was broken in multiple respects,
the combination of which was hiding the bugs most of the time.
- The ibox interrupt mask was open initially even though there
are no waiters on a newly created SPU.
- Acknowledging the mailbox interrupt did not work because
it is level triggered and the mailbox data is never retrieved
from inside the interrupt handler.
- The interrupt handler delivered interrupts with a disabled
mask if another interrupt is triggered for the same class
but a different mask.
- The poll function did not enable the interrupt if it had not
been enabled, so we might run into the poll timeout if none of
the other bugs saved us and no signal was delivered.
We probably still have a similar problem with blocking
read/write on mailbox files, but that will result in extra
wakeup in the worst case, not in incorrect behaviour.

This patch reduces lock complexity of SPU scheduler, particularly
for involuntary preemptive switches. As a result the new code
does a better job of mapping the highest priority tasks to SPUs.
Lock complexity is reduced by using the system default workqueue
to perform involuntary saves. In this way we avoid nasty lock
ordering problems that the previous code had. A "minimum timeslice"
for SPU contexts is also introduced. The intent here is to avoid
thrashing.
While the new scheduler does a better job at prioritization it

[PATCH] spufs: switchable spu contexts
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.

[PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, base
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.

This patch adds the necessary core bus support used by device drivers
that sit on the IBM GX bus on modern pSeries machines like the Galaxy
infiniband for example. It provide transparent DMA ops (the low level
driver works with virtual addresses directly) along with a simple bus
layer using the Open Firmware matching routines.

[PATCH] syscall entry/exit revamp
This cleanup patch speeds up the null syscall path on ppc64 by about 3%,
and brings the ppc32 and ppc64 code slightly closer together.
The ppc64 code was checking current_thread_info()->flags twice in the
syscall exit path; once for TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A before disabling
interrupts, and then again for TIF_SIGPENDING|TIF_NEED_RESCHED etc after
disabling interrupts. Now we do the same as ppc32 -- check the flags
only once in the fast path, and re-enable interrupts if necessary in the
ptrace case.
The patch abolishes the 'syscall_noerror' member of struct thread_info
and replaces it with a TIF_NOERROR bit in the flags, which is handled in
the slow path. This shortens the syscall entry code, which no longer
needs to clear syscall_noerror.
The patch adds a TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag which causes the syscall exit slow
path to save the non-volatile GPRs into a signal frame. This removes the
need for the assembly wrappers around sys_sigsuspend(),
sys_rt_sigsuspend(), et al which existed solely to save those registers
in advance. It also means I don't have to add new wrappers for ppoll()
and pselect(), which is what I was supposed to be doing when I got
distracted into this...
Finally, it unifies the ppc64 and ppc32 methods of handling syscall exit
directly into a signal handler (as required by sigsuspend et al) by
introducing a TIF_RESTOREALL flag which causes _all_ the registers to be
reloaded from the pt_regs by taking the ret_from_exception path, instead
of the normal syscall exit path which stomps on the callee-saved GPRs.
It appears to pass an LTP test run on ppc64, and passes basic testing on
ppc32 too. Brief tests of ptrace functionality with strace and gdb also
appear OK. I wouldn't send it to Linus for 2.6.15 just yet though :)

[PATCH] powerpc: Merge kexec
This patch merges, to some extent, the PPC32 and PPC64 kexec implementations.
We adopt the PPC32 approach of having ppc_md callbacks for the kexec functions.
The current PPC64 implementation becomes the "default" implementation for PPC64
which platforms can select if they need no special treatment.
I've added these default callbacks to pseries/maple/cell/powermac, this means
iSeries no longer supports kexec - but it never worked anyway.
I've renamed PPC32's machine_kexec_simple to default_machine_kexec, inline with
PPC64. Judging by the comments it might be better named machine_kexec_non_of,
or something, but at the moment it's the only implementation for PPC32 so it's
the "default".
Kexec requires machine_shutdown(), which is in machine_kexec.c on PPC32, but we
already have in setup-common.c on powerpc. All this does is call
ppc_md.nvram_sync, which only powermac implements, so instead make
machine_shutdown a ppc_md member and have it call core99_nvram_sync directly
on powermac.
I've also stuck relocate_kernel.S into misc_32.S for powerpc.
Built for ARCH=ppc, and 32 & 64 bit ARCH=powerpc, with KEXEC=y/n. Booted on
P5 LPAR and successfully kexec'ed.

[PATCH] fbcon: don´t call set_par() in fbcon_init() if vc_mode == KD_GRAPHICS
Nothing prevents a user to modprobe a framebuffer driver from e.g. the
xterm prompt. As a result, the set_par() function of the driver will be
called from fbcon_init().
This is fatal as a lot of X / framebuffer combinations are unable to
recover from set_par() reprogramming the graphics controller in
KD_GRAPHICS mode.
It is also unnecessary as the set_par() function will be called during a
switch to KD_TEXT anyway. Because of this no side effects are possible.

I've spent the past 3 days digging into a glibc testsuite failure in
current CVS, specifically libc/rt/tst-cputimer1.c The thr1 and thr2
timers fire too early in the second pass of this test. The second
pass is noteworthy because it makes use of intervals, whereas the
first pass does not.
All throughout the posix-cpu-timers.c code, the calculation of the
process sched_time sum is implemented roughly as:
unsigned long long sum;
sum = tsk->signal->sched_time;
t = tsk;
do {
sum += t->sched_time;
t = next_thread(t);
} while (t != tsk);
In fact this is the exact scheme used by check_process_timers().
In the case of check_process_timers(), current->sched_time has just
been updated (via scheduler_tick(), which is invoked by
update_process_times(), which subsequently invokes
run_posix_cpu_timers()) So there is no special processing necessary
wrt. that.
In other contexts, we have to allot for the fact that tsk->sched_time
might be a bit out of date if we are current. And the
posix-cpu-timers.c code uses current_sched_time() to deal with that.
Unfortunately it does so in an erroneous and inconsistent manner in
one spot which is what results in the early timer firing.
In cpu_clock_sample_group_locked(), it does this:
cpu->sched = p->signal->sched_time;
/* Add in each other live thread. */
while ((t = next_thread(t)) != p) {
cpu->sched += t->sched_time;
}
if (p->tgid == current->tgid) {
/*
* We're sampling ourselves, so include the
* cycles not yet banked. We still omit
* other threads running on other CPUs,
* so the total can always be behind as
* much as max(nthreads-1,ncpus) * (NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ).
*/
cpu->sched += current_sched_time(current);
} else {
cpu->sched += p->sched_time;
}
The problem is the "p->tgid == current->tgid" test. If "p" is
not current, and the tgids are the same, we will add the process
t->sched_time twice into cpu->sched and omit "p"'s sched_time
which is very very very wrong.
posix-cpu-timers.c has a helper function, sched_ns(p) which takes care
of this, so my fix is to use that here instead of this special tgid
test.
The fact that current can be one of the sub-threads of "p" points out
that we could make things a little bit more accurate, perhaps by using
sched_ns() on every thread we process in these loops. It also points
out that we don't use the most accurate value for threads in the group
actively running other cpus (and this is mentioned in the comment).
But that is a future enhancement, and this fix here definitely makes
sense.
