PowerPC has non standard getregs calls that only dump the GPRs or FPRs and have their arguments reversed. commit e17666ba (ptrace updates & new, better requests) in 2.6.3 deprecated them and introduced more standard versions. It's been about 5 years and I know of no users of the old calls so lets remove them.

When we get an EEH error we just print a backtrace with dump_stack which is rather cryptic. We really should print something before spewing out the backtrace. Also switch from dump_stack to WARN so we get more information about the fail - what modules were loaded, what process was running etc. This was useful information when debugging a recent EEH subsystem bug. The standard WARN output should also get picked up by monitoring tools like kerneloops. The register dump is of questionable value here but I figured it was better to use something standard and not roll my own.

Older versions of gcc had issues with using -maltivec together with -mcpu of a non altivec capable CPU. We work around it by specifying -mcpu=970, but the logic is complicated.

Remove CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY, the option is badly named and only does two things: - It wraps the MMU segment table code. With feature fixups there is little downside to compiling this in. - It uses the newer mtocrf instruction in various assembly functions. Instead of making this a compile option just do it at runtime via a feature fixup. Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This causes i2c-powermac to register i2c devices exposed in the device-tree, enabling new-style probing of devices. Note that we prefix the IDs with "MAC," in order to prevent the generic drivers from matching. This is done on purpose as we only want drivers specifically tested/designed to operate on powermacs to match. This removes the special case we had for the AMS driver, and updates the driver's match table instead. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Add two optimisations to enable_kernel_altivec: - enable_kernel_altivec has already determined if we need to save the previous task's state but we call giveup_altivec in both cases, requiring an extra branch in giveup_altivec. Create giveup_altivec_notask which only turns on the VMX bit in the MSR. - We write the VMX MSR bit each time we call enable_kernel_altivec even it was already set. Check the bit and branch out if we have already set it. The classic case for this is vectored IO where we have to copy multiple buffers to or from userspace. The following testcase was used to confirm this patch improves performance: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c Since the current breakpoint for using VMX in copy_tofrom_user is 4096 bytes, I'm using buffers of 4096 + 1 cacheline (4224) bytes. A benchmark of 16 entry readvs (-s 16): time copy_to_user -l 4224 -s 16 -i 1000000 completes 5.2% faster on a POWER7 PS700.

At the moment system call entry looks like: crclr so ... mfcr r9 ... std r9,_CCR(r1) commit bd19c899 ([POWERPC] system call micro optimisation) put some space between the crclr and mfcr in order to avoid a stall. There is still a stall seen between the mfcr and std. We can avoid the crclr by doing it in a GPR with rlwinm which gives us more room to better schedule the sequence.

Use any preallocated highmem region setup by the bootloader. This implementation only checks for the existance of a single region at region_index=0. This feature allows the bootloader to preallocate highmem regions and pass the region locations to the kernel through the repository. Preallocated regions can be used to hold the initrd or other large data. If no region info exists, the kernel retains the old behavior and attempts to allocate the highmem region itself. Based on Hector Martin's patch "Get lv1 high memory region from devtree".

This gets rid of the unused default senses array, and replaces the incorrect use of IRQ_TYPE_NONE with the new IRQ_TYPE_DEFAULT for the initial set_trigger() call when mapping an interrupt.

mpic_is_ipi() takes a virq and immediately converts it to a hw_irq. However, one of the two call sites calls it with a ... hw_irq. The other call site also happens to have the hw_irq at hand, so let's change it to just take that as an argument. Also change mpic_is_tm() for consistency.

If the interrupt and the timeout happen roughly at the same time, we can get into a situation where the timer function is run while the interrupt has already been processed. In this case, the timer function might end up doing an add_timer on an already pending timer, causing a BUG_ON() to trigger. Instead, just skip the whole timeout operation if we see that the timer is pending. The spinlock ensures that the only way that happens is if we already started a new operation and thus the timeout can be ignored. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The problem was reported by Anton Blanchard. While EEH error happened to the PCI device without the corresponding device driver, kernel crash was seen. Eventually, I successfully reproduced the problem on Firebird-L machine with utility "errinjct". Initially, the device driver for Emulex ethernet MAC has been disabled from .config and force data parity on the Emulex ethernet MAC with help of "errinjct". Eventually, I saw the kernel crash after issueing couple of "lspci -v" command. The root cause behind is that the PCI device, including the reference to the corresponding eeh device, will be removed from the system while EEH does recovery. Afterwards, the PCI device will be probed again and added into the system accordingly. So it's not safe to retrieve the eeh device from the corresponding PCI device after the PCI device has been removed and not added again. The patch fixes the issue and retrieve the eeh device from OF node instead of PCI device after the PCI device has been removed.

Commit 46d026ac ("powerpc/85xx: consolidate of_platform_bus_probe calls") replaced platform-specific of_device_id tables with a single function that probes the most of the busses in 85xx device trees. If a specific platform needed additional busses probed, then it could call of_platform_bus_probe() again. Typically, the additional platform-specific busses are children of existing busses that have already been probed. of_platform_bus_probe() does not handle those child busses automatically. Unfortunately, this doesn't actually work. The second (platform-specific) call to of_platform_bus_probe() never finds any of the busses it's asked to find. To remedy this, the platform-specific of_device_id tables are eliminated, and their entries are merged into mpc85xx_common_ids[], so that all busses are probed at once.

This patch replaces the old global setting of irq_virq_count that is only used by the NOMAP mapping and instead uses a revmap_data property so that the maximum NOMAP allocation can be set per NOMAP irq_domain. There is exactly one user of irq_virq_count in-tree right now: PS3. Also, irq_virq_count is only useful for the NOMAP mapping. So, instead of having a single global irq_virq_count values, this change drops it entirely and added a max_irq argument to irq_domain_add_nomap(). That makes it a property of an individual nomap irq domain instead of a global system settting.

commit a546498f introduced a regression on 32-bit when irq tracing is enabled by exposing an old bug in our irq tracing code for exception entry. The code would save and restore some GPRs around the calls to the C lockdep code, however, it tries to be too smart for its own good and restores some of the GPRs from the exception frame (as saved there on exception entry). However, for page faults, we do replace those GPRs with arguments to do_page_fault before we call transfer_to_handler and so restoring from the exception frame is plain wrong in this case. This was fine as long as we didn't touch the interrupt state when taking page fault, but when I started doing it, it would trigger the lockdep calls and the bug. This fixes it by cleaning up that code a bit. It did create a small stack frame for the sake of backtraces, so let's make it a bit bigger and use it to save and restore the stuff we care about.
