      powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses · 69111bac
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does
      not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before.
      
      V2->V2
        - Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1
      
      __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
      them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
      the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
      based on an offset.
      
      Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
      processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
      writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
      
      __get_cpu_var() is defined as :
      
      __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
      and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
      other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
      
      this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
      percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
      variables.
      
      This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
      calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
      use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
      are used when code is generated.
      
      At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
      the macro is removed too.
      
      The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
      are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
      arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using a global
      register that may be set to the per cpu base.

      powerpc: Remove call sites of MSG_ALL_BUT_SELF · e0476371
      Milton Miller 提交于
      The only user of MSG_ALL_BUT_SELF in the whole kernel tree is powerpc,
      and it only uses it to start the debugger. Both debuggers always call
      smp_send_debugger_break with MSG_ALL_BUT_SELF, and only mpic can do
      anything more optimal than a loop over all online cpus, but all message
      passing implementations have to code for this special delivery target.
      
      Convert smp_send_debugger_break to take void and loop calling the smp_ops
      message_pass function for each of the other cpus in the online cpumask.
      
      Use raw_smp_processor_id() because we are either entering the debugger
      or trying to start kdump and the additional warning it not useful were
      it to trigger.

      powerpc,kgdb: Introduce low level trap catching · ba797b28
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
      notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
      to allow the kernel debugger to handle the exception first in
      program_check_exception().
      
      The other change here is to make sure that kgdb_handle_exception() is
      called with correct parameters when catching an oops, because kdb
      needs to know if the entry was an oops, single step, or breakpoint
      exception.

      kgdb: core changes to support kdb · dcc78711
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an
      API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core.
      
      This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the
      user level I/O is routed.  It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or
      to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc
      connection.
      
      You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of
      operation dynamically.  From gdb stub mode you can blindly type
      "$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the
      gdb stub.
      
      The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb
      connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a
      gdb serial command sequence is detected.  That should allow a
      reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the
      kernel exception state.  The two gdb serial queries that kdb is
      responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

      powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers
      
      From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
      
      Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the
      advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors:
      
      CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors
      CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers
      CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers
      CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers
      CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported
      
      Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440
      hardware.  I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC
      and 2 DAC registers.  For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as
      well as the DAC ranges.

      kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping · d7161a65
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
      if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
      system call.
      
      First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
      it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
      any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
      exception.
      
      On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
      inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
      core.  The arch specific stub should always set the
      kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping.  This
      allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
      happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

      kgdb, powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb support · 17ce452f
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and
      implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core
      interface.
      
      It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you
      cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of
      debug hooks.
      
      The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the
      debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver.
      Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver
      configured.
