      powerpc: Remove more traces of bootmem · e39f223f
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      Although we are now selecting NO_BOOTMEM, we still have some traces of
      bootmem lying around. That is because even with NO_BOOTMEM there is
      still a shim that converts bootmem calls into memblock calls, but
      ultimately we want to remove all traces of bootmem.
      
      Most of the patch is conversions from alloc_bootmem() to
      memblock_virt_alloc(). In general a call such as:
      
        p = (struct foo *)alloc_bootmem(x);
      
      Becomes:
      
        p = memblock_virt_alloc(x, 0);
      
      We don't need the cast because memblock_virt_alloc() returns a void *.
      The alignment value of zero tells memblock to use the default alignment,
      which is SMP_CACHE_BYTES, the same value alloc_bootmem() uses.
      
      We remove a number of NULL checks on the result of
      memblock_virt_alloc(). That is because memblock_virt_alloc() will panic
      if it can't allocate, in exactly the same way as alloc_bootmem(), so the
      NULL checks are and always have been redundant.
      
      The memory returned by memblock_virt_alloc() is already zeroed, so we
      remove several memsets of the result of memblock_virt_alloc().
      
      Finally we convert a few uses of __alloc_bootmem(x, y, MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
      to just plain memblock_virt_alloc(). We don't use memblock_alloc_base()
      because MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is ~0ul on powerpc, so limiting the allocation
      to that is pointless, 16XB ought to be enough for anyone.

      powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses · 69111bac
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does
      not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before.
      
      V2->V2
        - Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1
      
      __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
      them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
      the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
      based on an offset.
      
      Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
      processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
      writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
      
      __get_cpu_var() is defined as :
      
      __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
      and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
      other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
      
      this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
      percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
      variables.
      
      This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
      calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
      use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
      are used when code is generated.
      
      At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
      the macro is removed too.
      
      The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
      are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
      arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using a global
      register that may be set to the per cpu base.
      
      Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
      
      1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
      	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
      
          Converts to
      
      	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
      
      2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
      	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
      
          Converts to
      
      	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
      
      3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
      variable.
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
      	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
      
         Converts to
      
      	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
      
      4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
      	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
      
         Converts to
      
      	memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
      
      5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
      	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
      
         Converts to
      
      	__this_cpu_write(y, x);
      
      6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
      	__get_cpu_var(y)++
      
         Converts to
      
      	__this_cpu_inc(y)

      powerpc/vphn: NUMA node code expects big-endian · 5c9fb189
      Greg Kurz 提交于
      The associativity domain numbers are obtained from the hypervisor through
      registers and written into memory by the guest: the packed array passed to
      vphn_unpack_associativity() is then native-endian, unlike what was assumed
      in the following commit:
      
      commit b08a2a12
      Author: Alistair Popple <alistair@popple.id.au>
      Date:   Wed Aug 7 02:01:44 2013 +1000
      
          powerpc: Make NUMA device node code endian safe
      
      This issue fills the topology with bogus data and makes it unusable. It may
      lead to severe performance breakdowns.
      
      We should ideally patch the vphn_unpack_associativity() function to do the
      64-bit loads, but this requires some more brain storming.
      
      In the meantime, let's go for a suboptimal and temporary bug fix: this patch
      converts each 64-bit value of the packed array to big endian, as expected by
      the current parsing code in vphn_unpack_associativity().
