      powerpc/nvram: Enable use Generic NVRAM driver for different size chips · d331d830
      Martyn Welch 提交于
      Remove the reliance on a staticly defined NVRAM size, allowing
      platforms to support NVRAMs with sizes differing from the standard.
      
      A fall back value is provided for platforms not supporting this extension.

      powerpc: Fix bug where perf_counters breaks oprofile · a6dbf93a
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries
      machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile
      will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next
      time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter
      won't count anything.
      
      Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem:
      - oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls
        pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want
        to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca.
        This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore
        the PMU config.
      - The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly
        as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear
        when it finishes.
      - oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs,
        which does nothing because it has already been called.  In particular
        it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag.
      
      This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set
      the "PMU in use" flag.  It makes the perf_counter code call
      ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function
      directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from
      pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller.
      
      This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it
      isn't defined anywhere.

      Needed to avoid namespace conflicts when the common code

      powerpc/mm: Cleanup handling of execute permission · ea3cc330
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute
      permission on powerpc. _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only
      defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of
      #ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that
      hopefully should cover everything.
      
      The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though
      not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code
      for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and
      recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than
      it already was in that area due to that change.
      
      I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute
      permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for
      some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and
      I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if
      the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took
      and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if
      VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page
      execute permissions... Unless I missed something
