This patch adds a new file called 'mfc' to each spufs directory. The file accepts DMA commands that are a subset of what would be legal DMA commands for problem state register access. Upon reading the file, a bitmask is returned with the completed tag groups set. The file is meant to be used from an abstraction in libspe that is added by a different patch. From the kernel perspective, this means a process can now offload a memory copy from or into an SPE local store without having to run code on the SPE itself. The transfer will only be performed while the SPE is owned by one thread that is waiting in the spu_run system call and the data will be transferred into that thread's address space, independent of which thread started the transfer.

An SPU does not have a way to implement system calls itself, but it can create intercepts to the kernel. This patch uses the method defined by the JSRE interface for C99 host library calls from an SPU to implement Linux system calls. It uses the reserved SPU stop code 0x2104 for this, using the structure layout and syscall numbers for ppc64-linux. I'm still undecided wether it is better to have a list of allowed syscalls or a list of forbidden syscalls, since we can't allow an SPU to call all syscalls that are defined for ppc64-linux. This patch implements the easier choice of them, with a blacklist that only prevents an SPU from calling anything that interacts with its own execution, e.g fork, execve, clone, vfork, exit, spu_run and spu_create and everything that deals with signals.

The SPE Book IV indicates that MFC DMA operations must be suspended and restored on SPU context switch (in Step 8).

For far, all SPU triggered interrupts always end up on the first SMT thread, which is a bad solution. This patch implements setting the affinity to the CPU that was running last when entering execution on an SPU. This should result in a significant reduction in IPI calls and better cache locality for SPE thread specific data.

In a hypervisor based setup, direct access to the first priviledged register space can typically not be allowed to the kernel and has to be implemented through hypervisor calls. As suggested by Masato Noguchi, let's abstract the register access trough a number of function calls. Since there is currently no public specification of actual hypervisor calls to implement this, I only provide a place that makes it easier to hook into.

Handling mailbox interrupts was broken in multiple respects, the combination of which was hiding the bugs most of the time. - The ibox interrupt mask was open initially even though there are no waiters on a newly created SPU. - Acknowledging the mailbox interrupt did not work because it is level triggered and the mailbox data is never retrieved from inside the interrupt handler. - The interrupt handler delivered interrupts with a disabled mask if another interrupt is triggered for the same class but a different mask. - The poll function did not enable the interrupt if it had not been enabled, so we might run into the poll timeout if none of the other bugs saved us and no signal was delivered. We probably still have a similar problem with blocking read/write on mailbox files, but that will result in extra wakeup in the worst case, not in incorrect behaviour.

This patch reduces lock complexity of SPU scheduler, particularly for involuntary preemptive switches. As a result the new code does a better job of mapping the highest priority tasks to SPUs. Lock complexity is reduced by using the system default workqueue to perform involuntary saves. In this way we avoid nasty lock ordering problems that the previous code had. A "minimum timeslice" for SPU contexts is also introduced. The intent here is to avoid thrashing. While the new scheduler does a better job at prioritization it still does nothing for fairness.

This patch makes it easier to preempt an SPU context by having the scheduler hold ctx->state_sema for much shorter periods of time. As part of this restructuring, the control logic for the "run" operation is moved from arch/ppc64/kernel/spu_base.c to fs/spufs/file.c. Of course the base retains "bottom half" handlers for class{0,1} irqs. The new run loop will re-acquire an SPU if preempted.

This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the system. Currently, there is no support for preempting a running SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the owning thread or by sending a signal to it. This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore to read-only.

Add some infrastructure for saving and restoring the context of an SPE. This patch creates a new structure that can hold the whole state of a physical SPE in memory. It also contains code that avoids races during the context switch and the binary code that is loaded to the SPU in order to access its registers. The actual PPE- and SPE-side context switch code are two separate patches. Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This is the current version of the spu file system, used for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine. This release is almost identical to the version for the 2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part of the Cell BE Linux distribution from http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/. The first patch provides all the interfaces for running spu application, but does not have any support for debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these functionalities are added in the subsequent patches. See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use spufs.
