Update memcpy() to add two new feature sections: one for aligning the destination before copying and one for copying using aligned load and store doubles. These new feature sections will only affect Power6 and Cell because the CPU feature bit was only added to these two processors. Power6 gets its best performance in memcpy() when aligning neither the source nor the destination, while Cell gets its best performance when just the destination is aligned. But in order to save on CPU feature bits we can use the previously added CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ feature bit to differentiate between Power6 and Cell (because CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ was added to Cell but not Power6). The first feature section acts to nop out the branch that takes us to the code that aligns us to an eight byte boundary for the destination. We only want to nop out this branch on Power6. So the ALT_FTR_SECTION_END() for this feature section creates a test mask of the two feature bits ORed together and provides an expected result of just CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD, thus we nop out the branch if we're on a CPU that has CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD set and CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ unset. For the second feature section added, if we're on a CPU that has the CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD bit set then we don't want to do the copy with aligned loads and stores (and the appropriate shifting left and right instructions), so we want to nop out the branch to .Lsrc_unaligned. The andi. used for this branch is moved to just above the branch because this allows us to nop out both instructions with just one feature section which gives us better performance and doesn't hurt readability which two separate feature sections did. Moving the andi. to just above the branch doesn't have any noticeable negative effect on the remaining 64bit processors (the ones that didn't have this feature bit added). On Cell this simple modification results in an improvement to measured memcpy() bandwidth of up to 50% in the hot cache case and up to 15% in the cold cache case. On Power6 we get memory bandwidth results that are up to three times faster in the hot cache case and up to 50% faster in the cold cache case. Commit 2a929436 ("powerpc: Add new CPU feature: CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ") was where CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ was added. To say that Cell gets its best performance in memcpy() with just the destination aligned is true but only for the reason that the indirect shift and rotate instructions, sld and srd, are microcoded on Cell. This means that either the destination or the source can be aligned, but not both, and seeing as we get better performance with the destination aligned we choose this option. While we're at it make a one line change from cmpldi r1,... to cmpldi cr1,... for consistency. Signed-off-by: NMark Nelson <markn@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Add a new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD, to be added to the 64bit powerpc chips that can do unaligned load double and store double without any performance hit. This is added to Power6 and Cell and will be used in the next commit to disable the code that gets the destination address aligned on those CPUs where doing that doesn't improve performance.

The 'ibm,interrupt-server#-size' properties are not in the cpu nodes, which is where we currently look for them, but rather live under the interrupt source controller nodes (which have "ibm,ppc-xics" in their compatible property). This moves the code that looks for the ibm,interrupt-server#-size properties from xics_update_irq_servers() into xics_init_IRQ(). Also this adds a check for mismatched sizes across the interrupt source controller nodes. Not sure this is necessary as in this case the firmware might be seriously busted. This property only appears on POWER6 boxes and is only used in the set-indicator(gqirm) call, and apparently firmware currently ignores the value we pass. Nevertheless we need to fix it in case future firmware versions use it.

When no hardware method is provided to sync the timebase registers across the machine, and the platform doesn't sync them for us, then we use a generic software implementation. Currently, the code for that has many printks, and they don't have log levels. Most of the printks are only useful for debugging the code, and since we haven't had any problems with it for years, this turns them into pr_debug.

The code to properly expose domain numbers in /proc is somewhat bogus on ppc64 as it depends on the "buid" field being non-0, but that field is really pseries specific. This removes that code and makes ppc64 use the same code as 32-bit which effectively decides whether to expose domains based on ppc_pci_flags set by the platform, and sets the default for 64-bit to enable domains and enable compatibility for domain 0 (which strips the domain number for domain 0 to help with X servers).

Peter Moulder has pointed out that there is a slight chance that a negative value might be passed to jiffies_to_msecs() in ata_scsi_park_show().

All three flavors of sata_nv's are different in how their hardreset behaves. * generic: Hardreset is not reliable. Link often doesn't come online after hardreset. * nf2/3: A little bit better - link comes online with longer debounce timing. However, nf2/3 can't reliable wait for the first D2H Register FIS, so it can't wait for device readiness or classify the device after hardreset. Follow-up SRST required. * ck804: Hardreset finally works. The core layer change to prefer hardreset and follow up changes exposed the above issues and caused various detection regressions for all three flavors. This patch, hopefully, fixes all the known issues and should make sata_nv error handling more reliable. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Promise ATA engines need to be reset when errors occur. That's currently done for errors detected by sata_promise itself, but it's not done for errors like timeouts detected outside of the low-level driver. The effect of this omission is that a timeout tends to result in a sequence of failed COMRESETs after which libata EH gives up and disables the port. At that point the port's ATA engine hangs and even reloading the driver will not resume it. To fix this, make sata_promise override ->hardreset on SATA ports with code which calls pdc_reset_port() on the port in question before calling libata's hardreset. PATA ports don't use ->hardreset, so for those we override ->softreset instead. Signed-off-by: NMikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

由 Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
The mv643xx_eth mii bus implementation uses wait_event_timeout() to wait for SMI completion interrupts. If wait_event_timeout() would return zero, mv643xx_eth would conclude that the SMI access timed out, but this is not necessarily true -- wait_event_timeout() can also return zero in the case where the SMI completion interrupt did happen in time but where it took longer than the requested timeout for the process performing the SMI access to be scheduled again. This would lead to occasional SMI access timeouts when the system would be under heavy load. The fix is to ignore the return value of wait_event_timeout(), and to re-check the SMI done bit after wait_event_timeout() returns to determine whether or not the SMI access timed out.
