      powerpc: Fix bug where perf_counters breaks oprofile · a6dbf93a
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries
      machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile
      will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next
      time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter
      won't count anything.
      
      Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem:
      - oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls
        pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want
        to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca.
        This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore
        the PMU config.
      - The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly
        as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear
        when it finishes.
      - oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs,
        which does nothing because it has already been called.  In particular
        it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag.
      
      This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set
      the "PMU in use" flag.  It makes the perf_counter code call
      ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function
      directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from
      pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller.
      
      This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it
      isn't defined anywhere.

      [POWERPC] Fix RTAS os-term usage on kernel panic · a2b51812
      Linas Vepstas 提交于
      The rtas_os_term() routine was being called at the wrong time.
      The actual rtas call "os-term" will not ever return, and so
      calling it from the panic notifier is too early.  Instead,
      call it from the machine_reset() call.
      
      This splits the rtas_os_term() routine into two: one part to capture
      the kernel panic message, invoked during the panic notifier, and
      another part that is invoked during machine_reset().
      
      Prior to this patch, the os-term call was never being made,
      because panic_timeout was always non-zero.  Calling os-term
      helps keep the hypervisor happy!  We have to keep the hypervisor
      happy to avoid service, dump and error reporting problems.

      [POWERPC] Donate idle CPU cycles on dedicated partitions · d8c391a5
      Jake Moilanen 提交于
      A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a
      shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it
      (via the HMC).
      
      This enables that to work properly on P6.
      
      This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the
      VPA.  To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and
      have the donate bit set in the VPA.  Then call H_CEDE.
      
      The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated
      CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to
      increase the capacity of the shared CPU pool.
      
      Also rename the VPA's cpuctls_task_attrs field to a more accurate name.

      [POWERPC] Make pci_read_irq_line the default · f90bb153
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch reworks the way IRQs are fixed up on PCI for arch powerpc.
      
      It makes pci_read_irq_line() called by default in the PCI code for
      devices that are probed, and add an optional per-device fixup in
      ppc_md for platforms that really need to correct what they obtain
      from pci_read_irq_line().
      
      It also removes ppc_md.irq_bus_setup which was only used by pSeries
      and should not be needed anymore.
      
      I've also removed the pSeries s7a workaround as it can't work with
      the current interrupt code anyway. I'm trying to get one of these
      machines working so I can test a proper fix for that problem.
      
      I also haven't updated the old-style fixup code from 85xx_cds.c
      because it's actually buggy :) It assigns pci_dev->irq hard coded
      numbers which is no good with the new IRQ mapping code. It should
      at least use irq_create_mapping(NULL, hard_coded_number); and possibly
      also set_irq_type() to set them as level low.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
      of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
      Linux kernel.
      
      The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
      space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
      from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
      (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
      
      Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
      something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
      maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
      handling.
      
      Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
      through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
      device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
      interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
      device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
      layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
      
      I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
      main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
      I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
      with minimal configurations.
      
      This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
      Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
      
      	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
      
      And put the old one back at the end:
      
      	set_irq_regs(old_regs);
      
      Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
      
      In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
      
      	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
      	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
      	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
      	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
      
      I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
      except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
      
      Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
      
       (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
           the input_dev struct.
      
       (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
           something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
           pointer or not.
      
       (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
           irq_handler_t.

      [PATCH] restore parport_pc probing on powermac · 873ef76b
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      The last change for partport_pc did fix the common case for all PowerMacs,
      but it broke the case for PCI multiport IO cards.  In fact, the config
      option CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y lead to a hard crash when cups probed
      the parport driver.  It enables the winbond and smsc probing.
      
      Remove the PARPORT_BASE check again, parport_pc_find_nonpci_ports() will
      take care of it.  All powerpc configs should have
      CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=n, the code did not find anything on the chrp
      boards we tested it on.

        PReP will have no ->check_legacy_ioport, the probe is always called.
      
      * update code in i8042_platform_init.  Run ->check_legacy_ioport first,
