| * | | | [PATCH] powerpc: Remove some ifdefs in oprofile_impl.hAnton Blanchard2006-03-281-10/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - No one uses op_counter_config.valid, so remove it - No need to ifdef around function protypes. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
| * | | | ppc: Remove CHRP, POWER3 and POWER4 support from arch/ppcPaul Mackerras2006-03-284-162/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 32-bit CHRP machines are now supported only in arch/powerpc, as are all 64-bit PowerPC processors. This means that we don't use Open Firmware on any platform in arch/ppc any more. This makes PReP support a single-platform option like every other platform support option in arch/ppc now, thus CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is gone from arch/ppc. CONFIG_PPC_PREP is the option that selects PReP support and is generally what has replaced CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM within arch/ppc. _machine is all but dead now, being #defined to 0. Updated Makefiles, comments and Kconfig options generally to reflect these changes. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
| * | | | powerpc: Fix event-scan code for 32-bit CHRPPaul Mackerras2006-03-271-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On CHRP machines we are supposed to call into firmware (RTAS) periodically, to give it a chance to check for errors and other events. Under ppc we had some special code in timer_interrupt to do this, but that didn't get transferred over to arch/powerpc. Instead, we use an array of timer_list structs, one per CPU, and use add_timer_on to make sure each one gets called on the appropriate CPU. With this we can remove the heartbeat_* elements of the ppc_md struct. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
| * | | | powerpc: Simplify pSeries idle loopPaul Mackerras2006-03-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since pSeries only wants to do something different in the idle loop when there is no work to do, we can simplify the code by implementing ppc_md.power_save functions instead of complete idle loops. There are two versions: one for shared-processor partitions and one for dedicated- processor partitions. With this we also do a cede_processor() call on dedicated processor partitions if the poll_pending() call indicates that the hypervisor has work it wants to do.

| * | | | powerpc: Unify the 32 and 64 bit idle loopsPaul Mackerras2006-03-273-6/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This unifies the 32-bit (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and 64-bit idle loops. It brings over the concept of having a ppc_md.power_save function from 32-bit to ARCH=powerpc, which lets us get rid of native_idle(). With this we will also be able to simplify the idle handling for pSeries and cell. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

| * | | | [PATCH] powerpc: Allow non zero boot cpuidsAnton Blanchard2006-03-272-1/+3

This means the logical - physical mapping will differ depending on which cpu is boot cpu. This is most apparent on kexec, where we might kexec on any cpu and therefore change the mapping from boot to boot. The patch below does a first pass early on to work out the logical cpuid of the boot thread. We then fix up some paca structures to match. Ive also removed the boot_cpuid_phys variable for ppc64, to be consistent we use get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid) everywhere.

This patch allows mmap() of the following regions: "mfc", which represents the area from [0x3000 - 0x3fff]; "cntl", which represents the area from [0x4000 - 0x4fff]; "signal1" which begins at offset 0x14000; "signal2" which begins at offset 0x1c000. The signal1 & signal2 files may be mmap()'d by regular user processes. The cntl and mfc file, on the other hand, may only be accessed if the owning process has CAP_SYS_RAWIO, because they have the potential to confuse the kernel with regard to parallel access to the same files with regular file operations: the kernel always holds a spinlock when accessing registers in these areas to serialize them, which can not be guaranteed with user mmaps, Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The file accepts DMA commands that are a subset of what would be legal DMA commands for problem state register access. Upon reading the file, a bitmask is returned with the completed tag groups set. The file is meant to be used from an abstraction in libspe that is added by a different patch. From the kernel perspective, this means a process can now offload a memory copy from or into an SPE local store without having to run code on the SPE itself. The transfer will only be performed while the SPE is owned by one thread that is waiting in the spu_run system call and the data will be transferred into that thread's address space, independent of which thread started the transfer.

| * | | | [PATCH] spufs: allow SPU code to do syscallsArnd Bergmann2006-03-271-1/+8

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.

(enum tags are ints according to the standard.) This patch attempts to fix them in the least intrusive way possible by turning them all into #defines except for the 32 bit CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE and CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS which are hard to construct that way.

It is also a preparation for the further tref/pids rework. This patch adds 'struct list_head thread_group' to 'struct task_struct' instead. We don't detach group leader from PIDTYPE_PID namespace until another thread inherits it's ->pid == ->tgid, so we are safe wrt premature free_pidmap(->tgid) call. Currently there are no users of find_task_by_pid_type(PIDTYPE_TGID). Should the need arise, we can use find_task_by_pid()->group_leader.

It is also called from copy_process's error path. This is not good, for example we can't move __unhash_process() under ->siglock for that reason. We should not mix these 2 paths, just look at ugly 'if (p->sighand)' under 'bad_fork_cleanup_sighand:' label. For copy_process() case it is sufficient to just backout copy_signal(), nothing more. Again, nobody can see this task yet. For CLONE_THREAD case we just decrement signal->count, otherwise nobody can see this ->signal and we can free it lockless.

Hopefully we will have more users soon. This patch also removes '!sighand->count' and '!p->usage' checks, I think they both are bogus, racy and unneeded (but probably it makes sense to restore them as BUG_ON()s). ->sighand is cleared and it's ->count is decremented in release_task() with sighand->siglock held, so it is a bug to have '!p->usage || !->count' after we already locked and verified it is the same. On the other hand, an already dead task without ->sighand can have a non-zero ->usage due to ptrace, for example. If we read the stale value of ->sighand we must see the change after spin_lock(), because that change was done while holding that same old ->sighand.siglock.

We can return the memory to slab immediately, all we need is to be sure that sighand->siglock can't dissapear inside rcu protected section. To do so we need to initialize ->siglock inside ctor function, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU does the rest.

Contrary, boot_cpu's idle thread explicitely registers itself for each pid_type with nr = 0. copy_process() already checks p->pid != 0 before process_counts++, I think we can just skip attach_pid() calls and job control inits for idle threads and kill unhash_process(). We don't need to cleanup ->proc_dentry in fork_idle() because with this patch idle threads are never hashed in kernel/pid.c:pid_hash[]. We don't need to hash pid == 0 in pidmap_init(). free_pidmap() is never called with pid == 0 arg, so it will never be reused. So it is still possible to use pid == 0 in any PIDTYPE_xxx namespace from kernel/pid.c's POV. However with this patch we don't hash pid == 0 for PIDTYPE_PID case. We still have have PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID entries with pid == 0: /sbin/init and kernel threads which don't call daemonize(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | switch_exec_pids is only called from de_thread by way of exec, and it is only called when we are exec'ing from a non thread group leader. Currently switch_exec_pids gives the leader the pid of the thread and unhashes and rehashes all of the process groups. The leader is already in the EXIT_DEAD state so no one cares about it's pids. The only concern for the leader is that __unhash_process called from release_task will function correctly. If we don't touch the leader at all we know that __unhash_process will work fine so there is no need to touch the leader. For the task becomming the thread group leader, we just need to give it the pid of the old thread group leader, add it to the task list, and attach it to the session and the process group of the thread group. Currently de_thread is also adding the task to the task list which is just silly. Currently the only leader of __detach_pid besides detach_pid is switch_exec_pids because of the ugly extra work that was being performed. So this patch removes switch_exec_pids because it is doing too much, it is creating an unnecessary special case in pid.c, duing work duplicated in de_thread, and generally obscuring what it is going on. The necessary work is added to de_thread, and it seems to be a little clearer there what is going on. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

The ixp23xx is an XSC3 based CPU with 512K of L2 cache, a 64bit 66MHz PCI interface, two DDR RAM interfaces, QDR RAM interfaces, two gigabit MACs, two 10/100 MACs, expansion bus, four microengines, a Media and Switch Fabric unit almost identical to the one on the ixp2400, two xscale (8250ish) UARTs and a bunch of other stuff. This patch adds the core ixp23xx support code, and support for the ADI Engineering Roadrunner, Intel IXDP2351, and IP Fabrics Double Espresso platforms.

This is an ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions: - L2 cache - I/O coherency support (on select chipsets) - Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache) - Supersections (v6 compatible) - 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible) - Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate - LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin) I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3 cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it is simpler to keep it separate. L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to capture command line parameters at this point. There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those can be addressed down the road.

Work around this by resetting the ethernet MAC before we uncompress. We don't usually work around bootloader bugs, but considering that the large majority of ep93xx boards out there have this problem, I figured this it was justified in this case.

We still allow just a little idle time, just enough to allow that process to submit a new request. That is needed to maintain fairness across priority groups. In some cases, we could setup several async queues. This is not optimal from a performance POV, since we want all async io in one queue to perform good sorting on it. It also impacted sync queues, as async io got too much slice time. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
