      [POWERPC] spufs: Add a "capabilities" file to spu contexts · cbe709c1
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This adds a "capabilities" file to spu contexts consisting of a
      list of linefeed separated capability names. The current exposed
      capabilities are "sched" (the context is scheduleable) and
      "step" (the context supports single stepping).

      [POWERPC] spufs: Add support for SPU single stepping · 05169237
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch adds support for SPU single stepping. The single
      step bit is set in the SPU when the current process is
      being single-stepped via ptrace. The spu then stops and
      returns with a specific flag set and the syscall exit code
      will generate the SIGTRAP.

      [POWERPC] Rewrite IO allocation & mapping on powerpc64 · 3d5134ee
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This rewrites pretty much from scratch the handling of MMIO and PIO
      space allocations on powerpc64.  The main goals are:
      
       - Get rid of imalloc and use more common code where possible
       - Simplify the current mess so that PIO space is allocated and
         mapped in a single place for PCI bridges
       - Handle allocation constraints of PIO for all bridges including
         hot plugged ones within the 2GB space reserved for IO ports,
         so that devices on hotplugged busses will now work with drivers
         that assume IO ports fit in an int.
       - Cleanup and separate tracking of the ISA space in the reserved
         low 64K of IO space. No ISA -> Nothing mapped there.
      
      I booted a cell blade with IDE on PIO and MMIO and a dual G5 so
      far, that's it :-)
      
      With this patch, all allocations are done using the code in
      mm/vmalloc.c, though we use the low level __get_vm_area with
      explicit start/stop constraints in order to manage separate
      areas for vmalloc/vmap, ioremap, and PCI IOs.
      
      This greatly simplifies a lot of things, as you can see in the
      diffstat of that patch :-)
      
      A new pair of functions pcibios_map/unmap_io_space() now replace
      all of the previous code that used to manipulate PCI IOs space.
      The allocation is done at mapping time, which is now called from
      scan_phb's, just before the devices are probed (instead of after,
      which is by itself a bug fix). The only other caller is the PCI
      hotplug code for hot adding PCI-PCI bridges (slots).
      
      imalloc is gone, as is the "sub-allocation" thing, but I do beleive
      that hotplug should still work in the sense that the space allocation
      is always done by the PHB, but if you unmap a child bus of this PHB
      (which seems to be possible), then the code should properly tear
      down all the HPTE mappings for that area of the PHB allocated IO space.
      
      I now always reserve the first 64K of IO space for the bridge with
      the ISA bus on it. I have moved the code for tracking ISA in a separate
      file which should also make it smarter if we ever are capable of
      hot unplugging or re-plugging an ISA bridge.
      
      This should have a side effect on platforms like powermac where VGA IOs
      will no longer work. This is done on purpose though as they would have
      worked semi-randomly before. The idea at this point is to isolate drivers
      that might need to access those and fix them by providing a proper
      function to obtain an offset to the legacy IOs of a given bus.

      [POWERPC] Spufs support for 64K LS mappings on 4K kernels · f1fa74f4
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This adds an option to spufs when the kernel is configured for
      4K page to give it the ability to use 64K pages for SPE local store
      mappings.
      
      Currently, we are optimistic and try order 4 allocations when creating
      contexts. If that fails, the code will fallback to 4K automatically.

      [POWERPC] Introduce address space "slices" · d0f13e3c
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      The basic issue is to be able to do what hugetlbfs does but with
      different page sizes for some other special filesystems; more
      specifically, my need is:
      
       - Huge pages
      
       - SPE local store mappings using 64K pages on a 4K base page size
      kernel on Cell
      
       - Some special 4K segments in 64K-page kernels for mapping a dodgy
      type of powerpc-specific infiniband hardware that requires 4K MMU
      mappings for various reasons I won't explain here.
      
      The main issues are:
      
       - To maintain/keep track of the page size per "segment" (as we can
      only have one page size per segment on powerpc, which are 256MB
      divisions of the address space).
      
       - To make sure special mappings stay within their allotted
      "segments" (including MAP_FIXED crap)
      
       - To make sure everybody else doesn't mmap/brk/grow_stack into a
      "segment" that is used for a special mapping
      
      Some of the necessary mechanisms to handle that were present in the
      hugetlbfs code, but mostly in ways not suitable for anything else.
      
      The patch relies on some changes to the generic get_unmapped_area()
      that just got merged.  It still hijacks hugetlb callbacks here or
      there as the generic code hasn't been entirely cleaned up yet but
      that shouldn't be a problem.
      
      So what is a slice ?  Well, I re-used the mechanism used formerly by our
      hugetlbfs implementation which divides the address space in
      "meta-segments" which I called "slices".  The division is done using
      256MB slices below 4G, and 1T slices above.  Thus the address space is
      divided currently into 16 "low" slices and 16 "high" slices.  (Special
      case: high slice 0 is the area between 4G and 1T).
      
      Doing so simplifies significantly the tracking of segments and avoids
      having to keep track of all the 256MB segments in the address space.
      
      While I used the "concepts" of hugetlbfs, I mostly re-implemented
      everything in a more generic way and "ported" hugetlbfs to it.
      
      Slices can have an associated page size, which is encoded in the mmu
      context and used by the SLB miss handler to set the segment sizes.  The
      hash code currently doesn't care, it has a specific check for hugepages,
      though I might add a mechanism to provide per-slice hash mapping
      functions in the future.
      
      The slice code provide a pair of "generic" get_unmapped_area() (bottomup
      and topdown) functions that should work with any slice size.  There is
      some trickiness here so I would appreciate people to have a look at the
      implementation of these and let me know if I got something wrong.

      slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag · 50953fe9
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
      SLAB.
      
      I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
      to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
      performed before each freeing of an object.
      
      I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
      before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
      manipulation of the object.
      
      Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
      compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
      handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
      SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
      in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
      use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
      same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).
      
      There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
      clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
      pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
      
      This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
      unimplemented flags from SLUB.
