This adds two new flags to spu_create: SPU_CREATE_NONSCHED: create a context that is never moved away from an SPE once it has started running. This flag can only be used by tasks with the CAP_SYS_NICE capability. SPU_CREATE_ISOLATED: create a nonschedulable context that enters isolation mode upon first run. This requires the SPU_CREATE_NONSCHED flag. Signed-off-by: NJeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Add the concept of a gang to spufs as a new type of object. So far, this has no impact whatsover on scheduling, but makes it possible to add that later. A new type of object in spufs is now a spu_gang. It is created with the spu_create system call with the flags argument set to SPU_CREATE_GANG (0x2). Inside of a spu_gang, it is then possible to create spu_context objects, which until now was only possible at the root of spufs. There is a new member in struct spu_context pointing to the spu_gang it belongs to, if any. The spu_gang maintains a list of spu_context structures that are its children. This information can then be used in the scheduler in the future. There is still a bug that needs to be resolved in this basic infrastructure regarding the order in which objects are removed. When the spu_gang file descriptor is closed before the spu_context descriptors, we leak the dentry and inode for the gang. Any ideas how to cleanly solve this are appreciated.

This tries to fix spufs so we have an interface closer to what is specified in the man page for events returned in the third argument of spu_run. Fortunately, libspe has never been using the returned contents of that register, as they were the same as the return code of spu_run (duh!). Unlike the specification that we never implemented correctly, we now require a SPU_CREATE_EVENTS_ENABLED flag passed to spu_create, in order to get the new behavior. When this flag is not passed, spu_run will simply ignore the third argument now. Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that want to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function. Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect) values for i_blksize.

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat in the VFS inode structure). This patch: The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union, which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where the union will actually be used.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

This patch is layered on top of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM and is patterned after direct mapping of LS. 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: NArnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the system. Currently, there is no support for preempting a running SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the owning thread or by sending a signal to it. This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore to read-only.

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.
