      [SPARC64]: Make debugging spinlocks usable again. · 442464a5
      David S. Miller 提交于
      When the spinlock routines were moved out of line into
      kernel/spinlock.c this made it so that the debugging
      spinlocks record lock acquisition program counts in the
      kernel/spinlock.c functions not in their callers.
      This makes the debugging info kind of useless.
      
      So record the correct caller's program counter and
      now this feature is useful once more.

      [SPARC64]: Revamp Spitfire error trap handling. · 6c52a96e
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Current uncorrectable error handling was poor enough
      that the processor could just loop taking the same
      trap over and over again.  Fix things up so that we
      at least get a log message and perhaps even some register
      state.
      
      In the process, much consolidation became possible,
      particularly with the correctable error handler.
      
      Prefix assembler and C function names with "spitfire"
      to indicate that these are for Ultra-I/II/IIi/IIe only.
      
      More work is needed to make these routines robust and
      featureful to the level of the Ultra-III error handlers.

      [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes. · 69be8f18
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
      not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
      program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
      several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
      confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
      still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
      NetBSD 2.0 *).
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
      sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
      handled is not blocked.
      
      The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
      the way most Unix boxes work.
      
      Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
      3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
      
      * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
      main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
      Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
      behaves differently here with #2.

      [PATCH] PCI: restore BAR values after D3hot->D0 for devices that need it · fec59a71
      John W. Linville 提交于
      Some PCI devices (e.g. 3c905B, 3c556B) lose all configuration
      (including BARs) when transitioning from D3hot->D0.  This leaves such
      a device in an inaccessible state.  The patch below causes the BARs
      to be restored when enabling such a device, so that its driver will
      be able to access it.
      
      The patch also adds pci_restore_bars as a new global symbol, and adds a
      correpsonding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for that.
      
      Some firmware (e.g. Thinkpad T21) leaves devices in D3hot after a
      (re)boot.  Most drivers call pci_enable_device very early, so devices
      left in D3hot that lose configuration during the D3hot->D0 transition
      will be inaccessible to their drivers.
      
      Drivers could be modified to account for this, but it would
      be difficult to know which drivers need modification.  This is
      especially true since often many devices are covered by the same
      driver.  It likely would be necessary to replicate code across dozens
      of drivers.
      
      The patch below should trigger only when transitioning from D3hot->D0
      (or at boot), and only for devices that have the "no soft reset" bit
      cleared in the PM control register.  I believe it is safe to include
      this patch as part of the PCI infrastructure.
      
      The cleanest implementation of pci_restore_bars was to call
      pci_update_resource.  Unfortunately, that does not currently exist
      for the sparc64 architecture.  The patch below includes a null
      implemenation of pci_update_resource for sparc64.
      
      Some have expressed interest in making general use of the the
      pci_restore_bars function, so that has been exported to GPL licensed
      modules.

      [SPARC64]: Do proper DMA IRQ syncing on Tomatillo · bb6743f4
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This was the main impetus behind adding the PCI IRQ shim.
      
      In order to properly order DMA writes wrt. interrupts, you have to
      write to a PCI controller register, then poll for that bit clearing.
      There is one bit for each interrupt source, and setting this register
      bit tells Tomatillo to drain all pending DMA from that device.
      
      Furthermore, Tomatillo's with revision less than 4 require us to do a
      block store due to some memory transaction ordering issues it has on
      JBUS.

      [SPARC64]: Add support for IRQ pre-handlers. · 088dd1f8
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This allows a PCI controller to shim into IRQ delivery
      so that DMA queues can be drained, if necessary.
      
      If some bus specific code needs to run before an IRQ
      handler is invoked, the bus driver simply needs to setup
      the function pointer in bucket->irq_info->pre_handler and
      the two args bucket->irq_info->pre_handler_arg[12].
      
      The Schizo PCI driver is converted over to use a pre-handler
      for the DMA write-sync processing it needs when a device
      is behind a PCI->PCI bus deeper than the top-level APB
      bridges.
      
      While we're here, clean up all of the action allocation
      and handling.  Now, we allocate the irqaction as part of
      the bucket->irq_info area.  There is an array of 4 irqaction
      (for PCI irq sharing) and a bitmask saying which entries
      are active.
      
      The bucket->irq_info is allocated at build_irq() time, not
      at request_irq() time.  This simplifies request_irq() and
      free_irq() tremendously.
      
      The SMP dynamic IRQ retargetting code got removed in this
      change too.  It was disabled for a few months now, and we
      can resurrect it in the future if we want.

      [SPARC64]: Avoid membar instructions in delay slots. · b445e26c
      David S. Miller 提交于
      In particular, avoid membar instructions in the delay
      slot of a jmpl instruction.
      
      UltraSPARC-I, II, IIi, and IIe have a bug, documented in
      the UltraSPARC-IIi User's Manual, Appendix K, Erratum 51
      
      The long and short of it is that if the IMU unit misses
      on a branch or jmpl, and there is a store buffer synchronizing
      membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions.
      
      If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the
      chip will unwedge itself, but performance will suffer.
      
      We already had a workaround for this bug in a few spots, but
      it's better to have the entire tree sanitized for this rule.

      [PATCH] Avoiding mmap fragmentation · 1363c3cd
      Wolfgang Wander 提交于
      Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
      free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
      causes huge performance increases in thread creation.
      
      The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
      mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
      that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
      kernel.
      
      The problem is twofold:
      
        1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
           the last search ended.  Before the change new areas were always
           searched from the base address on.
      
           So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
           throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
           tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
           large and available for larger requests.
      
        2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
           munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g.  five regions of
           1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
           will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
           appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
           of the old region 2.  Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
           get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.
      
      The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
      cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
      current free_area_cache.  If a new request comes in the size is compared
      against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
      below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.
      
      The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
      (earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
      with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
      (as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
      requires 0.7s system time.
      
      Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
      deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
      search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
      terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
      /proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
      time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.
      
      Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
      only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
      sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

      [SPARC64]: Add boot option to force UltraSPARC-III P-Cache on. · 816242da
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Older UltraSPARC-III chips have a P-Cache bug that makes us disable it
      by default at boot time.
      
      However, this does hurt performance substantially, particularly with
      memcpy(), and the bug is _incredibly_ obscure.  I have never seen it
      triggered in practice, ever.
      
      So provide a "-P" boot option that forces the P-Cache on.  It taints
      the kernel, so if it does trigger and cause some data corruption or
      OOPS, we will find out in the logs that this option was on when it
      happened.
