      [POWERPC] Make mmiowb's io_sync preempt safe · 292f86f0
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      If mmiowb() is always used prior to releasing spinlock as Doc suggests,
      then it's safe against preemption; but I'm not convinced that's always
      the case.  If preemption occurs between sync and get_paca()->io_sync = 0,
      I believe there's no problem.  But in the unlikely event that gcc does
      the store relative to another register than r13 (as it did with current),
      then there's a small danger of setting another cpu's io_sync to 0, after
      it had just set it to 1.  Rewrite ppc64 mmiowb to prevent that.
      
      The remaining io_sync assignments in io.h all get_paca()->io_sync = 1,
      which is harmless even if preempted to the wrong cpu (the context switch
      itself syncs); and those in spinlock.h are while preemption is disabled.

      [POWERPC] Make current preempt-safe · 5fe8e8b8
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Repeated -j20 kernel builds on a G5 Quad running an SMP PREEMPT kernel
      would often collapse within a day, some exec failing with "Bad address".
      In each case examined, load_elf_binary was doing a kernel_read, but
      generic_file_aio_read's access_ok saw current->thread.fs.seg as USER_DS
      instead of KERNEL_DS.
      
      objdump of filemap.o shows gcc 4.1.0 emitting "mr r5,r13 ... ld r9,416(r5)"
      here for get_paca()->__current, instead of the expected and much more usual
      "ld r9,416(r13)"; I've seen other gcc4s do the same, but perhaps not gcc3s.
      
      So, if the task is preempted and rescheduled on a different cpu in between
      the mr and the ld, r5 will be looking at a different paca_struct from the
      one it's now on, pick up the wrong __current, and perhaps the wrong seg.
      Presumably much worse could happen elsewhere, though that split is rare.
      
      Other architectures appear to be safe (x86_64's read_pda is more limiting
      than get_paca), but ppc64 needs to force "current" into one instruction.

      [POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systems · 5d2efba6
      Linas Vepstas 提交于
      The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew
      up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by
      numerous error messages:
      
       iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1
      
      Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because
      one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when
      the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to
      exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card.
      
      This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own
      unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its
      actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE
      and then uses this in all the places that matter.
      
      As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance
      on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since
      we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW
      is still 4k).
      
      In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable
      in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW
      page sizes in the iommu itself.

      [POWERPC] Fix oprofile support for e500 in arch/powerpc · dd6c89f6
      Andy Fleming 提交于
      Fixed a compile error in building the 85xx support with oprofile, and in
      the process cleaned up some issues with the fsl_booke performance monitor
      code.
      
      * Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450
        wouldn't be built if the e500 was, and cleaned it up so it was more
        self-contained.
      
      * Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E.  The original
        cpu_setup function prototype had no arguments, assuming that
        the reg_setup function would copy the required information into
        variables which represented the registers.  This was silly for
        e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for
        all counters), so the code has been restructured to have
        cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument,
        with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through
        on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the
        model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument.  The
        argument is ignored on all other platforms at present.
      
      * Fixed a confusing line where a trinary operator only had two
        arguments

      [POWERPC] Fix rmb() for e500-based machines it · e0da0dae
      Andy Fleming 提交于
      The e500 core generates an illegal instruction exception when it tries
      to execute the lwsync instruction, which we currently use for rmb().
      This fixes it by using the LWSYNC macro, which turns into a plain sync
      on 32-bit machines.

      [IA64] move SAL_CACHE_FLUSH check later in boot · fa1d19e5
      Troy Heber 提交于
      The check to see if the firmware drops interrupts during a
      SAL_CACHE_FLUSH is done to early in the boot. SAL_CACHE_FLUSH expects
      to be able to make PAL calls in virtual mode, on some cell based
      machines a fault occurs causing a MCA. This patch moves the check
      after mmu_context_init so the TLB and VHPT are properly setup.

      [MIPS] Fixup migration to GENERIC_TIME · 16b7b2ac
      Atsushi Nemoto 提交于
      Since we already moved to GENERIC_TIME, we should implement alternatives
      of old do_gettimeoffset routines to get sub-jiffies resolution from
      gettimeofday().  This patch includes:
      
       * MIPS clocksource support (based on works by Manish Lachwani).
       * remove unused gettimeoffset routines and related codes.
       * remove unised 64bit do_div64_32().
       * simplify mips_hpt_init. (no argument needed, __init tag)
       * simplify c0_hpt_timer_init. (no need to write to c0_count)
       * remove some hpt_init routines.
       * mips_hpt_mask variable to specify bitmask of hpt value.
       * convert jmr3927_do_gettimeoffset to jmr3927_hpt_read.
       * convert ip27_do_gettimeoffset to ip27_hpt_read.
       * convert bcm1480_do_gettimeoffset to bcm1480_hpt_read.
       * simplify sb1250 hpt functions. (no need to subtract and shift)
