This patch makes pseries_idle_driver not to be registered when power_save=off kernel boot option is specified. The cpuidle_disable variable used here is similar to its usage on x86. If cpuidle_disable is set then sysfs entries for cpuidle framework are not created and the required drivers are not loaded.

This patch provides cpu_idle_wait() routine for the powerpc platform which is required by the cpuidle subsystem. This routine is required to change the idle handler on SMP systems. The equivalent routine for x86 is in arch/x86/kernel/process.c but the powerpc implementation is different. cpuidle_disable variable is to enable/disable cpuidle framework if power_save option is set during the boot time.

We expect this is actually faster, and we end up needing more space than we can get from the SPRGs in some instances. This is also useful when running as a guest OS - SPRGs4-7 do not have guest versions. 8 slots are allocated in thread_info for this even though we only actually use 4 of them - this allows space for future code to have more scratch space (and we know we'll need it for things like hugetlb).

The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch of data streams. This patch allows the value to be specified per thread by emulating the corresponding mfspr and mtspr instructions. Children of such threads inherit the value. Other threads use a default value that can be specified in sysfs - /sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default. If a thread starts with non default value in the sysfs entry, all children threads inherit this non default value even if the sysfs value is changed later.

Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC 64-bit server (Book III S) processors. This allows access to a given location to be used as an event that can be counted or profiled by the perf_events subsystem. This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can also be used for process debugging via ptrace. When perf_event hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint.

On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the stack pointer passed into the kernel. Most places handle this correctly, but the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal stack frames. This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a sanitized stack pointer. For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack pointer is masked correctly. In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply returned. Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to get the properly sanitized stack. The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit statically. Signed-off-by: NJosh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The first 32 regs overlap with the FP registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits. The second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.

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.

The following replaces the earlier patches sent. It should address David Rientjes's comments, and has been compile tested on all the architectures that it touches, save for parisc. For the /proc/<pid>/pagemap code[1], we need to able to query how much virtual address space a particular task has. The trick is that we do it through /proc and can't use TASK_SIZE since it references "current" on some arches. The process opening the /proc file might be a 32-bit process opening a 64-bit process's pagemap file. x86_64 already has a TASK_SIZE_OF() macro: #define TASK_SIZE_OF(child) ((test_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_IA32)) ? IA32_PAGE_OFFSET : TASK_SIZE64) I'd like to have that for other architectures. So, add it for all the architectures that actually use "current" in their TASK_SIZE. For the others, just add a quick #define in sched.h to use plain old TASK_SIZE. 1. http://www.linuxworld.com/news/2007/042407-kernel.html - MIPS portion from Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] Signed-off-by: NDave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: NMatt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Acked-by: NDavid Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Floating point exceptions should not be enabled by default, as this setting impacts the performance on some CPUs, in particular the Cell BE. Since the bits are inherited from parent processes, the place to change the default is the thread struct used for init. glibc sets this up correctly per thread in its fesetenv function, so user space should not be impacted by this setting. None of the other common libc implementations (uClibc, dietlibc, newlib, klibc) has support for fp exceptions, so they are unlikely to be hit by this either. There is a small risk that somebody wrote their own application that manually sets the fpscr bits instead of calling fesetenv, without changing the MSR bits as well. Those programs will break with this change. It probably makes sense to change glibc in the future to be more clever about FE bits, so that when running on a CPU where this is expensive, it disables exceptions ASAP, while it keeps them enabled on CPUs where running with exceptions on is cheaper than changing the state often.

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. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.

32-bit CHRP machines are now supported only in arch/powerpc, as are all 64-bit PowerPC processors. This means that we don't use Open Firmware on any platform in arch/ppc any more. This makes PReP support a single-platform option like every other platform support option in arch/ppc now, thus CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is gone from arch/ppc. CONFIG_PPC_PREP is the option that selects PReP support and is generally what has replaced CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM within arch/ppc. _machine is all but dead now, being #defined to 0.

This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier).
