      powerpc/spufs: Fix race for a free SPU · b65fe035
      Jeremy Kerr 提交于
      We currently have a race for a free SPE. With one thread doing a
      spu_yield(), and another doing a spu_activate():
      
      thread 1				thread 2
      spu_yield(oldctx)			spu_activate(ctx)
        __spu_deactivate(oldctx)
        spu_unschedule(oldctx, spu)
        spu->alloc_state = SPU_FREE
      					spu = spu_get_idle(ctx)
      					    - searches for a SPE in
      					      state SPU_FREE, gets
      					      the context just
      					      freed by thread 1
      					spu_schedule(ctx, spu)
      					  spu->alloc_state = SPU_USED
      spu_schedule(newctx, spu)
        - assumes spu is still free
        - tries to schedule context on
          already-used spu
      
      This change introduces a 'free_spu' flag to spu_unschedule, to indicate
      whether or not the function should free the spu after descheduling the
      context. We only set this flag if we're not going to re-schedule
      another context on this SPU.
      
      Add a comment to document this behaviour.

      powerpc/spufs: Fix multiple get_spu_context() · 9f43e391
      Jeremy Kerr 提交于
      Commit 8d5636fb introduced a reference
      count on SPU contexts during find_victim, but this may cause a leak in
      the reference count if we later find a better contender for a context to
      unschedule.
      
      Change the reference to after we've found our victim context, so we
      don't do the extra get_spu_context().

      powerpc: Work around gcc's -fno-omit-frame-pointer bug · 7563dc64
      Tony Breeds 提交于
      This bug is causing random crashes
      (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).
      
      -fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
      supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
      on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
      locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
      because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
      interrupt.
      
      This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
      When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
      around the gcc codegen bug.

      powerpc/spufs: fix npc setting for NOSCHED contexts · d9dd421f
      Jeremy Kerr 提交于
      Currently, spu_run ignores the npc argument for contexts created with
      SPU_CREATE_NOSCHED. While this is correct for isolated contexts,
      there's no need to enforce the npc restriction on non-isolated NOSCHED
      contexts.
      
      This means that NOSCHED contexts can only ever run with an entry point
      of 0x0.
      
      This change to spu_run_init allows setting of the npc (and, while we're
      at it, the privcntl) for non-isolated NOSCHED contexts. This allows
      us to run NOSCHED contexts from any entry point.

      Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are

      passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.

      dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error() · 8d8bb39b
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
      architecture does:
      
      This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
      are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
      
      I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
      KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
      difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread).  So I
      CC'ed this to KVM camp.  Comments are appreciated.
      
      A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added.  If the
      pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it.  If it's
      NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
      
      If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
      a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
      with hot plugging).  It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
      dma_mapping_ops per device.
      
      The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
      device unlike other DMA operations.  So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
      device.  Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
      so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
      dma_mapping_error functions.
      
      The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error.  The patch
      is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
      all the architecture.
      
      This patch:
      
      dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
      operations.  So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
      
      Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
      IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function.  x86 IOMMUs use device
      argument.

      gpiolib: allow user-selection · 7444a72e
      Michael Buesch 提交于
      This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it
      possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't
      request to get it built in.
      
      The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor
      functions in its asm/gpio.h file.  This patch adds the implementations for
      x86 and PPC.
      
      With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on
      every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions.  Support
      for more architectures can easily be added.
