      powerpc/fsl-booke: Move loadcam_entry back to asm code to fix SMP ftrace · 78f62237
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      When we build with ftrace enabled its possible that loadcam_entry would
      have used the stack pointer (even though the code doesn't need it).  We
      call loadcam_entry in __secondary_start before the stack is setup.  To
      ensure that loadcam_entry doesn't use the stack pointer the easiest
      solution is to just have it in asm code.

      powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix InstructionTLBError execute permission check · 78e2e68a
      Li Yang 提交于
      In CONFIG_PTE_64BIT the PTE format has unique permission bits for user
      and supervisor execute.  However on !CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we overload the
      supervisor bit to imply user execute with _PAGE_USER set.  This allows
      us to use the same permission check mask for user or supervisor code on
      !CONFIG_PTE_64BIT.
      
      However, on CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we map _PAGE_EXEC to _PAGE_BAP_UX so we
      need a different permission mask based on the fault coming from a kernel
      address or user space.
      
      Without unique permission masks we see issues like the following with
      modules:
      
      Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch
      Faulting instruction address: 0xf938d040
      Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

      powerpc/numa: Add form 1 NUMA affinity · 4b83c330
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      Firmware changed the way it represents memory and cpu affinity on POWER7.
      Unfortunately the old method now caps the topology to work around issues
      with legacy operating systems. For Linux to get the correct topology we
      need to use the new form 1 affinity information.
      
      We set the form 1 field in the client architecture, and if we see "1" in the
      ibm,associativity-form property firmware supports form 1 affinity and
      we should look at the first field in the ibm,associativity-reference-points
      array. If not we use the second field as we always have.

      perf: Always build the powerpc perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs version · 6e03bb5a

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      powerpc/perf_events: Fix call-graph recording, add perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs · 9eff26ea
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This implements a powerpc version of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
      to get correct call-graphs.
      
      It's implemented in assembly because that way we can be sure there isn't
      a stack frame for perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs.  If it was in C, gcc might
      or might not create a stack frame for it, which would affect the number
      of levels we have to skip.
      
      With this, we see results from perf record -e lock:lock_acquire like
      this:
