      [PATCH] spufs: switchable spu contexts · 5473af04
      Mark Nutter 提交于
      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.

      [PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, base · 67207b96
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      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.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Merge kexec · 3d1229d6
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      This patch merges, to some extent, the PPC32 and PPC64 kexec implementations.
      
      We adopt the PPC32 approach of having ppc_md callbacks for the kexec functions.
      The current PPC64 implementation becomes the "default" implementation for PPC64
      which platforms can select if they need no special treatment.
      
      I've added these default callbacks to pseries/maple/cell/powermac, this means
      iSeries no longer supports kexec - but it never worked anyway.
      
      I've renamed PPC32's machine_kexec_simple to default_machine_kexec, inline with
      PPC64. Judging by the comments it might be better named machine_kexec_non_of,
      or something, but at the moment it's the only implementation for PPC32 so it's
      the "default".
      
      Kexec requires machine_shutdown(), which is in machine_kexec.c on PPC32, but we
      already have in setup-common.c on powerpc. All this does is call
      ppc_md.nvram_sync, which only powermac implements, so instead make
      machine_shutdown a ppc_md member and have it call core99_nvram_sync directly
      on powermac.
      
      I've also stuck relocate_kernel.S into misc_32.S for powerpc.
      
      Built for ARCH=ppc, and 32 & 64 bit ARCH=powerpc, with KEXEC=y/n. Booted on
      P5 LPAR and successfully kexec'ed.
      
      Should apply on top of 493f25ef.
