      [POWERPC] 4xx: Fix problem with new TLB storage attibute fields on 440x6 core · a96df496
      Stefan Roese 提交于
      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.

      unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation · d35c7b0e
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      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.

      [POWERPC] Bolt in SLB entry for kernel stack on secondary cpus · 3b575064
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      [POWERPC] ppc32: Fix errata for 603 CPUs · fc215fe7
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      603 CPUs have the same issue that some 750 CPUs have in that they can crash
      in funny ways if a store from an FPU register instruction is executed on a
      register that has never been initialized since power on.  This patch fixes
      it by making sure all FP registers have been properly initialized at kernel
      boot.
