The 'smt_enabled=X' boot option does not handle values of X > 2. For Power 7 processors with smt modes of 0,1,2,3, and 4 this does not work.

The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes) and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode (aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing. We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

Now we dynamically allocate the paca array, it takes an extra load whenever we want to access another cpu's paca. One place we do that a lot is per cpu variables. A simple example: DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long, vara); unsigned long test4(int cpu) { return per_cpu(vara, cpu); } This takes 4 loads, 5 if you include the actual load of the per cpu variable: ld r11,-32760(r30) # load address of paca pointer ld r9,-32768(r30) # load link address of percpu variable sldi r3,r29,9 # get offset into paca (each entry is 512 bytes) ld r0,0(r11) # load paca pointer add r3,r0,r3 # paca + offset ld r11,64(r3) # load paca[cpu].data_offset ldx r3,r9,r11 # load per cpu variable If we remove the ppc64 specific per_cpu_offset(), we get the generic one which indexes into a statically allocated array. This removes one load and one add: ld r11,-32760(r30) # load address of __per_cpu_offset ld r9,-32768(r30) # load link address of percpu variable sldi r3,r29,3 # get offset into __per_cpu_offset (each entry 8 bytes) ldx r11,r11,r3 # load __per_cpu_offset[cpu] ldx r3,r9,r11 # load per cpu variable Having all the offsets in one array also helps when iterating over a per cpu variable across a number of cpus, such as in the scheduler. Before we would need to load one paca cacheline when calculating each per cpu offset. Now we have 16 (128 / sizeof(long)) per cpu offsets in each cacheline.

Configuring a powerpc 32 bit kernel for both SMP and SUSPEND turns on CPU_HOTPLUG to enable disable_nonboot_cpus to be called by the common suspend code.

On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus. We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system. The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas, but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any unused pacas.

The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer. We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc.. and the current choice isn't always the best. This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to what those are used for on each processor family. The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all the SPRGs.

This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel. Now, instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top 32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset. This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for the handler with a load from the paca. That makes it unnecessary to have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit mode. We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code, which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to .slb_miss_realmode any more. Instead we have to compute the address and do an indirect branch. This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE; for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before. (A later change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.) Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100 bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is, we can't use a direct branch to get there. Instead this changes __secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer. When it is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function pointed to by that value. Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync at runtime. On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up the code. We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'. We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is needed. This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it for the normal CPU_FTR purpose. Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.

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.
