When debugging early boot problems, it's common to sprinkle printk's all over the place. However, on 64-bit powerpc, this can lead to memory corruption if done too early due to the PACA pointer and lockdep core not being initialized. This adds some comments to early_setup() that document when it is safe to do so in order to save time for whoever has to debug that stuff next.

The new 440x6 core used on AMCC 460EX/GT introduces new storage attibure fields to the TLB2 word. Those are: Bit 11 12 13 14 15 WL1 IL1I IL1D IL2I IL2D With these bits the cache (L1 and L2) can be configured in a more flexible way, instruction- and data-cache independently now. The "old" I and W bits are still available and setting these old bits will automically set these new bits too (for backward compatibilty). The current code does not clear these fields resulting in disabling the cache by chance. This patch now makes sure that these new bits are cleared when the TLB2 word is written.

This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated code. It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers) I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL isn't needed. The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really no obstacles. Signed-off-by: NUlrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This fixes a regression reported by Kamalesh Bulabel where a POWER4 machine would crash because of an SLB miss at a point where the SLB miss exception was unrecoverable. This regression is tracked at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10082 SLB misses at such points shouldn't happen because the kernel stack is the only memory accessed other than things in the first segment of the linear mapping (which is mapped at all times by entry 0 of the SLB). The context switch code ensures that SLB entry 2 covers the kernel stack, if it is not already covered by entry 0. None of entries 0 to 2 are ever replaced by the SLB miss handler. Where this went wrong is that the context switch code assumes it doesn't have to write to SLB entry 2 if the new kernel stack is in the same segment as the old kernel stack, since entry 2 should already be correct. However, when we start up a secondary cpu, it calls slb_initialize, which doesn't set up entry 2. This is correct for the boot cpu, where we will be using a stack in the kernel BSS at this point (i.e. init_thread_union), but not necessarily for secondary cpus, whose initial stack can be allocated anywhere. This doesn't cause any immediate problem since the SLB miss handler will just create an SLB entry somewhere else to cover the initial stack. In fact it's possible for the cpu to go quite a long time without SLB entry 2 being valid. Eventually, though, the entry created by the SLB miss handler will get overwritten by some other entry, and if the next access to the stack is at an unrecoverable point, we get the crash. This fixes the problem by making slb_initialize create a suitable entry for the kernel stack, if we are on a secondary cpu and the stack isn't covered by SLB entry 0. This requires initializing the get_paca()->kstack field earlier, so I do that in smp_create_idle where the current field is initialized. This also abstracts a bit of the computation that mk_esid_data in slb.c does so that it can be used in slb_initialize. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Commit edd8ce67 (Use extended crashkernel command line on ppc64), changed the logic in reserve_crashkernel() which deals with the crashkernel= command line option. This introduced a bug in the case when there is no crashkernel= option, or it is incorrect. We would fall through and calculate the crash_size based on the existing values in crashk_res. If both start and end are 0, the default, we calculate the crash_size as 1 byte - which is wrong. Rework the logic so that we use crashk_res, regardless of whether it's set by the command line or via the device tree (see prom.c). Then check if we have an empty range (end == start), and if so make sure to set both end and start to zero (this is checked in machine_kexec_64.c). Then we calculate the crash_size once we know we have a non-zero range. Finally we always want to warn the user if they specify a base != 32MB, so remove the special case for that in the command line parsing case.

This makes it possible to use separate stacks for hard and soft IRQs on 32-bit powerpc as well as on 64-bit. The code for 32-bit is just the 32-bit analog of the 64-bit code. * Added allocation and initialization of the irq stacks. We limit the stacks to be in lowmem for ppc32. * Implemented ppc32 versions of call_do_softirq() and call_handle_irq() to switch the stack pointers * Reworked how we do stack overflow detection. We now keep around the limit of the stack in the thread_struct and compare against the limit to see if we've overflowed. We can now use this on ppc64 if desired.

This adds a system call on 64-bit platforms for switching between little-endian and big-endian modes that is much faster than doing a prctl call. This system call is handled as a special case right at the start of the system call entry code, and because it is a special case, it uses a system call number which is out of the range of normal system calls, namely 0x1ebe. Measurements with lmbench on a 4.2GHz POWER6 showed no measurable change in the speed of normal system calls with this patch. Switching endianness with this new system call takes around 60ns on a 4.2GHz POWER6, compared with around 300ns to switch endian mode with a prctl. This can provide a significant performance advantage for emulators for little-endian architectures that want to switch between big-endian and little-endian mode frequently, e.g. because they are generating instructions sequences on the fly and they want to run those sequences in little-endian mode. The other thing about this system call is that it doesn't clobber as many registers as a normal system call. It only clobbers r12. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Because the udbg_console has CON_ENABLED set, it's possible that when we register it with the console code the index won't be set. This leads to slightly confusing boot messages like: [ 0.000000] console [udbg-1] enabled We could remove CON_ENABLED, but we don't want to do that, we always want the udbg console to be activated, even if the user specified some other console on the command line. The simplest fix seems to be just to set the index to 0 by hand. There is no issue with duplicate udbg consoles, as we guard against registering multiple times in register_early_udbg_console().

As BenH said the other day, it is an "accident" that prom_init.o is linked with the rest of the kernel. The truth is a little more subtle, prom_init isn't truly bootloader, it does access kernel data in a few places. What we can do is discourage people from adding new code that accesses data outside of prom_init. And hence this patch; from the script: # This script checks prom_init.o to see what external symbols it # is using, if it finds symbols not in the whitelist it returns # an error. The point of this is to discourage people from # intentionally or accidentally adding new code to prom_init.c # which has side effects on other parts of the kernel.

Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and kdump). The support can be configured at compile time by setting CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as desired. Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. Setting this config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START. If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning. However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program header physical address field in the resulting ELF image. Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a multiple of 256M. This is due to how we map TLBs to cover lowmem. This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment in the future. It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a non-aligned physical address. All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings. ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. /dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

The powerpc kernel stacks need to be naturally aligned, as they contain the thread info at the bottom, which is obtained by clearing the low bits of the stack pointer. However, when using 64K pages, the stack is smaller than a page, so we use kmalloc to allocate it, but that doesn't provide the alignment guarantee we need. It appeared to work so far... until one enables SLUB debugging which then returns unaligned pointers. Ooops... This fixes it by using a slab cache with enforced alignment. It relies on my previous patch that adds a thread_info_cache_init() callback.
