      [POWERPC] 64bit FPSCR support · 3a2c48cf
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      Forthcoming machines will extend the FPSCR to 64 bits.  We already
      had a 64-bit save area for the FPSCR, but we need to use a new form
      of the mtfsf instruction.  Fortunately this new form is decoded as
      an ordinary mtfsf by existing 64-bit processors.

      [POWERPC] MSI abstraction · 204face4
      Jake Moilanen 提交于
      Instead of trying to make PPC64 MSI fit in a Intel-centric MSI layer, a
      simple short-term solution is to hook the pci_{en/dis}able_msi() calls
      and make a machdep call.
      
      The rest of the MSI functions are superfluous for what is needed at this
      time.  Many of which can have machdep calls added as needed.
      
      Ben and Michael Ellerman are looking into rewrite the MSI layer to be
      more generic.  However, in the meantime this works as a interim
      solution.

      powerpc: Simplify push_end definition in pci_32.c · 0f582bc1
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      The push_end macro in arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_32.c uses integer
      division and multiplication to achieve the effect of rounding a
      resource end address up and then advancing it to the end of a
      power-of-2 sized region.  This changes it to an equivalent computation
      that only needs an integer add and OR.  This is partly based on an
      earlier patch by Mel Gorman.

      powerpc: Use 64k pages without needing cache-inhibited large pages · bf72aeba
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Some POWER5+ machines can do 64k hardware pages for normal memory but
      not for cache-inhibited pages.  This patch lets us use 64k hardware
      pages for most user processes on such machines (assuming the kernel
      has been configured with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y).  User processes
      start out using 64k pages and get switched to 4k pages if they use any
      non-cacheable mappings.
      
      With this, we use 64k pages for the vmalloc region and 4k pages for
      the imalloc region.  If anything creates a non-cacheable mapping in
      the vmalloc region, the vmalloc region will get switched to 4k pages.
      I don't know of any driver other than the DRM that would do this,
      though, and these machines don't have AGP.
      
      When a region gets switched from 64k pages to 4k pages, we do not have
      to clear out all the 64k HPTEs from the hash table immediately.  We
      use the _PAGE_COMBO bit in the Linux PTE to indicate whether the page
      was hashed in as a 64k page or a set of 4k pages.  If hash_page is
      trying to insert a 4k page for a Linux PTE and it sees that it has
      already been inserted as a 64k page, it first invalidates the 64k HPTE
      before inserting the 4k HPTE.  The hash invalidation routines also use
      the _PAGE_COMBO bit, to determine whether to look for a 64k HPTE or a
      set of 4k HPTEs to remove.  With those two changes, we can tolerate a
      mix of 4k and 64k HPTEs in the hash table, and they will all get
      removed when the address space is torn down.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Make rtas console _much_ faster · b5374461
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      Currently the hvc_rtas driver is painfully slow to use. Our "benchmark" is
      ls -R /etc, which spits out about 27866 characters. The theoretical maximum
      speed would be about 2.2 seconds, the current code takes ~50 seconds.
      
      The core of the problem is that sometimes when the tty layer asks us to push
      characters the firmware isn't able to handle some or all of them, and so
      returns an error. The current code sees this and just returns to the tty code
      with the buffer half sent.
      
      The khvcd thread will eventually wake up and try to push more characters, which
      will usually work because by then the firmware's had time to make room. But
      the khvcd thread only wakes up every 10 milliseconds, which isn't fast enough.
      
      So change the khvcd thread logic so that if there's an incomplete write we
      yield() and then immediately try writing again. Doing so makes POLL_QUICK and
      POLL_WRITE synonymous, so remove POLL_QUICK.
      
      With this patch our "benchmark" takes ~2.8 seconds.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl · fab5db97
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change
      their endian mode via prctl.
      
      This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up
      alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for
      "PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian.
      
      We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for
      little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian
      user/kernel ABI.  If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is
      restored to what it was when the signal was delivered.
      
      We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and
      one for true little-endian.  Most of the classic 32-bit processors
      support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature
      table.  There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland
      in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry.
      
      This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard.

      [PATCH] Add a prctl to change the endianness of a process. · 651d765d
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      This new prctl is intended for changing the execution mode of the
      processor, on processors that support both a little-endian mode and a
      big-endian mode.  It is intended for use by programs such as
      instruction set emulators (for example an x86 emulator on PowerPC),
      which may find it convenient to use the processor in an alternate
      endianness mode when executing translated instructions.
      
      Note that this does not imply the existence of a fully-fledged ABI for
      both endiannesses, or of compatibility code for converting system
      calls done in the non-native endianness mode.  The program is expected
      to arrange for all of its system call arguments to be presented in the
      native endianness.
      
      Switching between big and little-endian mode will require some care in
      constructing the instruction sequence for the switch.  Generally the
      instructions up to the instruction that invokes the prctl system call
      will have to be in the old endianness, and subsequent instructions
      will have to be in the new endianness.
