      [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers · e8222502
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
      powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
      board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
      macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
      device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
      
      We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
      _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
      changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
      _machine.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Workaround for pSeries RTAS bug · 9fe901d1
      Mike Kravetz 提交于
      A bug in the RTAS services incorrectly interprets some bits in the CR
      when called from the OS.  Specifically, bits in CR4.  The result could
      be a firmware crash that also takes down the partition.  A firmware
      fix is in the works.  We have seen this situation when performing DLPAR
      operations.  As a temporary workaround, clear the CR in enter_rtas().
      Note that enter_rtas() will not set any bits in CR4 before calling RTAS.
      
      Also note that the 32 bit version of enter_rtas() should have the same
      work around even though the chances of hitting the bug are much smaller
      due to the lack of DLPAR on 32 bit kernels.  However, my assembly skills
      are a bit rusty and the 32 bit code doesn't seem to follow the conventions
      for where things should be saved.  In addition, I don't have a system
      to test 32 bit kernels.  Help creating and at least touch testing the
      same workaround for 32 bit would be appreciated.

      *) When setting a sighandler using sigaction() call, if the flag

      the kernel still try to install the alternate stack. This behavior is
      the opposite of the one which is documented in Single Unix
      Specifications V3.

      flag SS_DISABLE, the kernel try to install the alternate stack on
      signal delivery.

      [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes · e041c683
      Alan Stern 提交于
      The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
      protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
      chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:
      
          http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
      
      We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
      classes:
      
      	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
      	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
      
      	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
      	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
      
      We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
      this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
      notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
      really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
      used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
      registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
      explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
      kernel/sys.c.
      
      With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
      links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
      entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
      guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
      idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
      blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
      handle these things in their own way.)
      
      There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
      atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
      a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
      callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
      entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
      had to be changed to avoid it.)
      
      Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
      spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
      entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
      less frequent that calling a chain.
      
      Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
      of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
      
        ATOMIC CHAINS
        -------------

        BLOCKING CHAINS
        ---------------
      arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
      arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
      drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list

      net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
      net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain
      
      It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
      please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
      gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
      used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
      (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
      atomic.)
      
      The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
      material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
      Morton.

      powerpc: Fix problem with time going backwards · 0a45d449
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side
      effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by
      gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond.  There were two reasons:
      (1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31
      timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and
      (2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of
      jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards
      when the timebase factor gets reduced.
      
      This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in
      2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b)
      adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday
      result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock
      and the timer interrupt is late).  In this case the adjustment will
      reduce to zero eventually because of (a).

      powerpc: Fix various syscall/signal/swapcontext bugs · 1bd79336
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
      paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
      simplified and improved:
      
      * 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
        path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
        bit being set.  In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
        the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
        which is not necessarily the current system call.
      
      * 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
        path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.
      
      * _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
        _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
        by system calls.  I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.
      
      * On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
        to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
        was traced or single-stepped).  Thus the non-volatile registers
        weren't restored on exit from a signal handler.  We probably got
        away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
        alter the non-volatile registers.
      
      * On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
        making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
        preemption and signal delivery.
      
      * 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
        set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
        non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.
      
      * I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
        non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
        enable interrupts first.

      On logically-partitioned machines the first element of the reg
      property in the memory node is defined to be the "RMO" region,
      i.e. the memory that the processor can access in real mode.  On other
