      powerpc/perf_counter: Add generic support for POWER-family PMU hardware · 4574910e
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This provides the architecture-specific functions needed to access
      PMU hardware on the 64-bit PowerPC processors.  It has been designed
      for the IBM POWER family (POWER 4/4+/5/5+/6 and PPC970) but will
      hopefully also suit other 64-bit PowerPC machines (although probably
      not Cell given how different it is in this area).  This doesn't
      include back-ends for any specific processors.
      
      This implements a system which allows back-ends to express the
      constraints that their hardware has on what events can be counted
      simultaneously.  The constraints are expressed as a 64-bit mask +
      64-bit value for each event, and the encoding is capable of
      expressing the constraints arising from having a set of multiplexers
      feeding an event bus, with some events being available through
      multiple multiplexer settings, such as we get on POWER4 and PPC970.
      Furthermore, the back-end can supply alternative event codes for
      each event, and the constraint checking code will try all possible
      combinations of alternative event codes to try to find a combination
      that will fit.

      powerpc: Provide a way to defer perf counter work until interrupts are enabled · 93a6d3ce
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is
      possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the
      kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are
      soft-disabled but hard-enabled).  In such a situation the performance
      monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as
      process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI
      handler.
      
      This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled,
      either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt
      handler to code that had interrupts enabled.  We have a per-processor
      flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts
      subsequently get re-enabled.  This flag is checked in the interrupt
      return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set,
      perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.

      [S390] arch_setup_additional_pages arguments · fc5243d9
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
      format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
      stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
      be removed without replacement.
      
      What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
      uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
      from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
      statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
      to map the vdso.

      powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix problem with _tlbil_va being interrupted · e5e774d8
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      An example calling sequence which we did see:
      
      copy_user_highpage -> kmap_atomic -> flush_tlb_page -> _tlbil_va
      
      We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the
      tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did
      a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt
      the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values.
      
      Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we
      need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity.
