      powerpc: Implement accurate task and CPU time accounting · c6622f63
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit
      powerpc kernels.  Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a
      task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at
      the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to
      the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode.  We
      also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts
      accurately.  This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.  If
      that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before.
      
      To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor
      utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase
      on other machines on
      
      * each entry to the kernel from usermode
      * each exit to usermode
      * transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq
        context in kernel mode
      * context switches.
      
      On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also
      read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and
      context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by
      the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time).  Unfortunately,
      since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to
      accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate
      steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time
      between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle
      loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment.
      
      This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the
      generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers,
      i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc.
      
      This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and
      userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to
      userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(),
      times(), etc.  Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in
      timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a
      second) when reported to userspace.  Some precision is therefore lost
      but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal
      accumulation is at full precision.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Avoid potential FP corruption with preempt and UP · 5388fb10
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Heikki Lindholm pointed out that there was a potential race with the
      lazy CPU state (FP, VR, EVR) stuff if preempt is enabled.  The race
      is that in the process of restoring FP state on sigreturn, the task
      gets preempted by a user task that wants to use the FPU.  It will take
      an FP unavailable exception, which will write the current FPU state
      to the thread_struct, overwriting the values which sigreturn has
      stored.  Note that this can only happen on UP since we don't implement
      lazy CPU state on SMP.
      
      The fix is to flush the lazy CPU state before updating the
      thread_struct.  To do this we re-use the flush_lazy_cpu_state()
      function from process.c.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Consolidate asm compatibility macros · 3ddfbcf1
      David Gibson 提交于
      This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for
      compatibility across different CPUs or configs.  A new header,
      asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros.  It
      uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use
      in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files.  Headers (bitops.h,
      uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility
      macros are changed to use asm-compat.h.
      
      ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces
      that.  As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution
      here than in asm-compat.h.
      
      While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in
      futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't.
      
      Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc).  Built
      for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc).

      [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages · 3c726f8d
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
      base page size to 64K.  The resulting kernel still boots on any
      hardware.  On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
      will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
      
      Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
      will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
      still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
      information from the newer hypervisors.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Fix handling of fpscr on 64-bit · 25c8a78b
      David Gibson 提交于
      The recent merge of fpu.S broken the handling of fpscr for
      ARCH=powerpc and CONFIG_PPC64=y.  FP registers could be corrupted,
      leading to strange random application crashes.
      
      The confusion arises, because the thread_struct has (and requires) a
      64-bit area to save the fpscr, because we use load/store double
      instructions to get it in to/out of the FPU.  However, only the low
      32-bits are actually used, so we want to treat it as a 32-bit quantity
      when manipulating its bits to avoid extra load/stores on 32-bit.  This
      patch replaces the current definition with a structure of two 32-bit
      quantities (pad and val), to clarify things as much as is possible.
      The 'val' field is used when manipulating bits, the structure itself
      is used when obtaining the address for loading/unloading the value
      from the FPU.
      
      While we're at it, consolidate the 4 (!) almost identical versions of
      cvt_fd() and cvt_df() (arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S,
      arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S, arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S,
      arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S) into a single version in fpu.S.  The
      new version takes a pointer to thread_struct and applies the correct
      offset itself, rather than a pointer to the fpscr field itself, again
      to avoid confusion as to which is the correct field to use.
      
      Finally, this patch makes ARCH=ppc64 also use the consolidated fpu.S
      code, which it previously did not.
      
      Built for G5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc), 32-bit powermac (ARCH=ppc
      and ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc, CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y).
      Booted on G5 (ARCH=powerpc) and things which previously fell over no
      longer do.

      and makes them work for ppc32.  This also brings in the new calling
      convention, where the first entry to the kernel (with r5 != 0) goes
      to the prom_init code, which then restarts from the beginning (with
      r5 == 0) after it has done its stuff.
      
      For now this also brings in the ppc32 version of setup.c.  It also
      merges lmb.h.

      powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc. · 14cf11af
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
      of Kconfig files.  It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
      arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac.  This is enough
      to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
      
      For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
      arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel.  This makes some minor changes
      to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
      
      The boot directory is still not merged.  That's going to be interesting.

      [PATCH] ppc64: speedup cmpxchg · b2c0ab17

      cmpxchg has the following code:
      
      __typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o);
      __typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n);
      
      Unfortunately it makes gcc 4.0 store and load the variables to the stack.
      Eg in atomic_dec_and_test we get:
      
        stw     r10,112(r1)
        stw     r9,116(r1)
        lwz     r9,112(r1)
        lwz     r0,116(r1)
      
      x86 is just casting the values so do that instead. Also change __xchg*
      and __cmpxchg* to take unsigned values, removing a few sign extensions.
