This patch adds the base support for the 476 processor. The code was primarily written by Ben Herrenschmidt and Torez Smith, but I've been maintaining it for a while. The goal is to have a single binary that will run on 44x and 47x, but we still have some details to work out. The biggest is that the L1 cache line size differs on the two platforms, but it's currently a compile-time option.

Time time taken for a single cpu online operation on a pseries machine is as follows: Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): ~220ms. Shared LPAR (POWER5) : ~240ms. Of this time, approximately 200ms is taken up by __cpu_up(). This is because we poll every 200ms to check if the new cpu has notified it's presence through the cpu_callin_map. We repeat this operation until the new cpu sets the value in cpu_callin_map or 5 seconds elapse, whichever comes earlier. However, using completion_structs instead of polling loops, the time taken by the new processor to indicate it's presence has found to be less than 1ms on pseries. This method however may not work on all powerpc platforms due to the time-base synchronization code. Keeping this in mind, we could reduce msleep polling interval from 200ms to 1ms while retaining the 5 second timeout. With this, the time taken for a cpu online operation changes as follows: Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): 20-25ms. Shared LPAR (POWER5) : 60-80ms. In both these cases, it was found that the code polls through the loop only once indicating that 1ms is a reasonable value, atleast on pseries. The code needs testing on other powerpc platforms.

The old PowerSurge SMP (ie, dual or quad 604 machines) code has numerous issues in modern world. One is cpu_possible_map is set too late (the device-tree is bogus) so we fail to allocate the interrupt stacks and crash. Another problem is the fact the timebase is frozen by the bringup of the second CPU so the delays in the generic code will hang, we need to move some of the calling procedure to inside the powermac code. This makes it boot again for me Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Impact: cleanup Each SMP arch defines these themselves. Move them to a central location. Twists: 1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them. 2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'. Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere. 3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky so I just manipulate them both in sync. 4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map' declarations.

With the new generic smp call function helpers, I noticed the code in smp_message_recv was a single function call in many cases. While getting the message number from the ipi data is easy, we can reduce the path length by a function and data-dependent switch by registering seperate IPI actions for these simple calls. Originally I left the ipi action array exposed, but then I realized the registration code should be common too. The three users each had their own name array, so I made a fourth to convert all users to use a common one.

Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs. Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map. The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers. Tested on x86-64. All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got it right.

This fixes a regression reported by Kamalesh Bulabel where a POWER4 machine would crash because of an SLB miss at a point where the SLB miss exception was unrecoverable. This regression is tracked at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10082 SLB misses at such points shouldn't happen because the kernel stack is the only memory accessed other than things in the first segment of the linear mapping (which is mapped at all times by entry 0 of the SLB). The context switch code ensures that SLB entry 2 covers the kernel stack, if it is not already covered by entry 0. None of entries 0 to 2 are ever replaced by the SLB miss handler. Where this went wrong is that the context switch code assumes it doesn't have to write to SLB entry 2 if the new kernel stack is in the same segment as the old kernel stack, since entry 2 should already be correct. However, when we start up a secondary cpu, it calls slb_initialize, which doesn't set up entry 2. This is correct for the boot cpu, where we will be using a stack in the kernel BSS at this point (i.e. init_thread_union), but not necessarily for secondary cpus, whose initial stack can be allocated anywhere. This doesn't cause any immediate problem since the SLB miss handler will just create an SLB entry somewhere else to cover the initial stack. In fact it's possible for the cpu to go quite a long time without SLB entry 2 being valid. Eventually, though, the entry created by the SLB miss handler will get overwritten by some other entry, and if the next access to the stack is at an unrecoverable point, we get the crash. This fixes the problem by making slb_initialize create a suitable entry for the kernel stack, if we are on a secondary cpu and the stack isn't covered by SLB entry 0. This requires initializing the get_paca()->kstack field earlier, so I do that in smp_create_idle where the current field is initialized. This also abstracts a bit of the computation that mk_esid_data in slb.c does so that it can be used in slb_initialize. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

smp_send_stop() will send an IPI to all other cpus to shut them down. However, for the case of xmon-based reboots (as well as potentially some panics), the other cpus are (or might be) spinning with interrupts off, and won't take the IPI. Current code will drop us into the debugger when the IPI fails, which means we're in an infinite loop that we can't get out of without an external reset of some sort. Instead, make the smp_send_stop() IPI call path just print the warning about being unable to send IPIs, but make it return so the rest of the shutdown sequence can continue. It's not perfect, but the lesser of two evils. Also move the call_lock handling outside of smp_call_function_map so we can avoid deadlocks in smp_send_stop().

In smp_call_function_map(), num_cpus is set to the number of online CPUs minus one. However, if the CPU mask does not include all CPUs (except the one we're running on), the routine will hang in the first while() loop until the 8 second timeout occurs. The num_cpus should be set to the number of CPUs specified in the mask passed into the routine, after we've made any modifications to the mask.

The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems. This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given CPU before it drops that lock. We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush. Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will use the batch for that flush.

Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration, we get a .text refering .init.data warning. This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or are of __init type. Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would land up in .init section.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

Pseudo-CHRP machines like Pegasos without an MPIC would crash at boot if CONFIG_SMP was set because the "smp_ops" pointer was set to MPIC related ops unconditionally. This patch makes it NULL on machines that don't support SMP and provides proper default behaviour in the callers when smp_ops is NULL.
