      [PATCH] spufs: clean up use of bitops · 8837d921
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      checking bits manually might not be synchonized with
      the use of set_bit/clear_bit. Make sure we always use
      the correct bitops by removing the unnecessary
      identifiers.

      [PATCH] spufs: fix mailbox polling · 3a843d7c
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Handling mailbox interrupts was broken in multiple respects,
      the combination of which was hiding the bugs most of the time.
      
      - The ibox interrupt mask was open initially even though there
        are no waiters on a newly created SPU.
      
      - Acknowledging the mailbox interrupt did not work because
        it is level triggered and the mailbox data is never retrieved
        from inside the interrupt handler.
      
      - The interrupt handler delivered interrupts with a disabled
        mask if another interrupt is triggered for the same class
        but a different mask.
      
      - The poll function did not enable the interrupt if it had not
        been enabled, so we might run into the poll timeout if none of
        the other bugs saved us and no signal was delivered.
      
      We probably still have a similar problem with blocking
      read/write on mailbox files, but that will result in extra
      wakeup in the worst case, not in incorrect behaviour.

      [PATCH] spufs: cooperative scheduler support · 8b3d6663
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use
      more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the
      system.
      
      Currently, there is no support for preempting a running
      SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering
      an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the
      owning thread or by sending a signal to it.
      
      This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU
      in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore
      to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath
      us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change
      the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save
      or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore
      to read-only.

      [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.
