Looks like "[POWERPC] kdump shutdown hook support" broke builds when CONFIG_DEBUGGER=n and CONFIG_KEXEC=y, such as in g5_defconfig: arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c: In function 'default_machine_crash_shutdown': arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c:388: error: '__debugger_fault_handler' undeclared (first use in this function) arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c:388: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c:388: error: for each function it appears in.)

This adds a cputable function pointer for the CPU-side machine check handling. The semantic is still the same as the old one, the one in ppc_md. overrides the one in cputable, though ultimately we'll want to change that so the CPU gets first. This removes CONFIG_440A which was a problem for multiplatform kernels and instead fixes up the IVOR at runtime from a setup_cpu function. The "A" version of the machine check also tweaks the regs->trap value to differenciate the 2 versions at the C level.

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

Previously, Soft_emulate_8xx was called with no implementation, resulting in build failures whenever building 8xx without math emulation. The implementation is copied from arch/ppc to resolve this issue. However, this sort of minimal emulation is not a very good idea other than for compatibility with existing userspaces, as it's less efficient than soft-float and can mislead users into believing they have soft-float. Thus, it is made a configurable option, off by default. Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: NKumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(), gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents, etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack() emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets called from report_bug(): [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8) [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0 [<00000000000152ce>] dump_stack+0x2e/0x3c [<0000000000195450>] report_bug+0x98/0xf8 [<0000000000016cc8>] illegal_op+0x1fc/0x21c [<00000000000227d6>] sysc_return+0x0/0x10 Acked-by: NJeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Acked-by: NHaavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the header file. The external users of this are using it for a different reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method. backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all. Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't need it.

When we do full FP emulation its possible that we need to post a SIGFPE based on the results of the emulation. The previous code ignored this case completely. Additionally, the Soft_emulate_8xx case had two issues. One, we should never generate a SIGFPE since the code only does data movement. Second, we were interpreting the return codes incorrectly, it returns 0 on success, 1 on illop and -EFAULT on a data access error. Signed-off-by: NKumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

The e300c2 has no FPU. Its MSR[FP] is grounded to zero. If an attempt is made to execute a floating point instruction (including floating-point load, store, or move instructions), the e300c2 takes a floating-point unavailable interrupt. This patch adds support for FP emulation on the e300c2 by declaring a new CPU_FTR_FP_TAKES_FPUNAVAIL, where FP unavail interrupts are intercepted and redirected to the ProgramCheck exception path for correct emulation handling. (If we run out of CPU_FTR bits we could look to reclaim this bit by adding support to test the cpu_user_features for PPC_FEATURE_HAS_FPU instead) It adds a nop to the exception path for 32-bit processors with a FPU.

In the case of a system hang, the user will invoke soft-reset to initiate the kdump boot. If xmon is enabled, the CPU(s) enter into the xmon debugger. Unfortunately, the secondary CPU(s) will return to the hung state when they exit from the debugger (returned from die() -> system_reset_exception()). This causes a problem in kdump since the hung CPU(s) will not respond to the IPI sent from kdump. This patch fixes the issue by calling crash_kexec_secondary() directly from system_reset_exception() without returning to the previous state. These secondary CPUs wait 5ms until the kdump boot is started by the primary CPU. In the case we exited from the debugger to "recover" (command 'x' in xmon) the primary and the secondary CPUs will all return from die() -> system_reset_exception() ->crash_kexec_secondary() wait 5ms, then return to the previous state. A kdump boot is not started in this case. Signed-off-by: NHaren Myneni <haren@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid Wilder <dwilder@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across all architectures that implement it. It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at all. This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is too long, feedback welcome. For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour. Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is already not present.

With this patch, kdump uses the firmware soft-reset NMI for two purposes: 1) Initiate the kdump (take a crash dump) by issuing a soft-reset. 2) Break a CPU out of a deadlock condition that is detected during kdump processing. When a soft-reset is initiated each CPU will enter system_reset_exception() and set its corresponding bit in the global bit-array cpus_in_sr then call die(). When die() finds the CPU's bit set in cpu_in_sr crash_kexec() is called to initiate a crash dump. The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() is called the "crashing CPU". All other CPUs are "secondary CPUs". The secondary CPU's pass through to crash_kexec_secondary() and sleep. The crashing CPU waits for all CPUs to enter via soft-reset then boots the kdump kernel (see crash_soft_reset_check()) When the system crashes due to a panic or exception, crash_kexec() is called by panic() or die(). The crashing CPU sends an IPI to all other CPUs to notify them of the pending shutdown. If a CPU is in a deadlock or hung state with interrupts disabled, the IPI will not be delivered. The result being, that the kdump kernel is not booted. This problem is solved with the use of a firmware generated soft-reset. After the crashing_cpu has issued the IPI, it waits for 10 sec for all CPUs to enter crash_ipi_callback(). A CPU signifies its entry to crash_ipi_callback() by setting its corresponding bit in the cpus_in_crash bit array. After 10 sec, if one or more CPUs have not set their bit in cpus_in_crash we assume that the CPU(s) is deadlocked. The operator is then prompted to generate a soft-reset to break the deadlock. Each CPU enters the soft reset handler as described above. Two conditions must be handled at this point: 1) The system crashed because the operator generated a soft-reset. See 2) The system had crashed before the soft-reset was generated ( in the case of a Panic or oops). The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() uses the state of the kexec_lock to determine this state. If kexec_lock is already held then condition 2 is true and crash_kexec_secondary() is called, else; this CPU is flagged as the crashing CPU, the kexec_lock is acquired and crash_kexec() proceeds as described above. Each additional CPUs responding to the soft-reset will pass through crash_kexec() to kexec_secondary(). All secondary CPUs call crash_ipi_callback() readying them self's for the shutdown. When ready they clear their bit in cpus_in_sr. The crashing CPU waits in kexec_secondary() until all other CPUs have cleared their bits in cpus_in_sr. The kexec kernel boot is then started.

This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change their endian mode via prctl. This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for "PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian. We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian user/kernel ABI. If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is restored to what it was when the signal was delivered. We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and one for true little-endian. Most of the classic 32-bit processors support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature table. There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry. This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
