Stephen Rothwell 1babddbc2e powerpc/spufs: Remove unused error path
Commit 45db924089 ("powerpc/spufs: Remove
double check for non-negative dentry") removed the only user of the
out_dput label, so remove it and the code following it.

Gets rid of this warning:

arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/inode.c: In function 'spufs_create':

Jan Blunck 45db924089 powerpc/spufs: Remove double check for non-negative dentry
This patch removes an unnecessary double check if the dentry returned by
lookup_create() is actually non-negative. Since lookup_create() itself returns
an error in this case just remove the check.

Jeremy Kerr d219889b76 powerpc/spufs: Check file offset before calculating write size in fixed-sized files
Based on an original patch from Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@gmail.com>.

The write size calculated during regs and fpcr writes may currently
go negative. Because size is unsigned, this will wrap, and our
check for EFBIG will fail.

Instead, do the check for EFBIG before subtracting from size.

Ingo Molnar 74019224ac timers: add mod_timer_pending()
Impact: new timer API

Based on an idea from Martin Josefsson with the help of
Patrick McHardy and Stephen Hemminger:

introduce the mod_timer_pending() API which is a mod_timer()
offspring that is an invariant on already removed timers.

(regular mod_timer() re-activates non-pending timers.)

This is useful for the networking code in that it can
allow unserialized mod_timer_pending() timer-forwarding
calls, but a single del_timer*() will stop the timer
from being reactivated again.

Also while at it:

- optimize the regular mod_timer() path some more, the
  timer-stat and a debug check was needlessly duplicated
  in __mod_timer().

- make the exports come straight after the function, as
  most other exports in timer.c already did.

- eliminate __mod_timer() as an external API, change the
  users to mod_timer().

The regular mod_timer() code path is not impacted
significantly, due to inlining optimizations and due to
the simplifications.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 64b3d0e812 powerpc/mm: Rework usage of _PAGE_COHERENT/NO_CACHE/GUARDED
Currently, we never set _PAGE_COHERENT in the PTEs, we just OR it in
in the hash code based on some CPU feature bit.  We also manipulate
_PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_GUARDED by hand in all sorts of places.

This changes the logic so that instead, the PTE now contains
_PAGE_COHERENT for all normal RAM pages thay have I = 0 on platforms
that need it.  The hash code clears it if the feature bit is not set.

It also adds some clean accessors to setup various valid combinations
of access flags and change various bits of code to use them instead.

This should help having the PTE actually containing the bit
combinations that we really want.

I also removed _PAGE_GUARDED from _PAGE_BASE on 44x and instead
set it explicitely from the TLB miss.  I will ultimately remove it
completely as it appears that it might not be needed after all
but in the meantime, having it in the TLB miss makes things a
lot easier.

Jeremy Kerr 606572634c powerpc/spufs: Fix spinning in spufs_ps_fault on signal
Currently, we can end up in an infinite loop if we get a signal
while the kernel has faulted in spufs_ps_fault. Eg:

 alarm(1);

 write(fd, some_spu_psmap_register_address, 4);

- the write's copy_from_user will fault on the ps mapping, and
signal_pending will be non-zero. Because returning from the fault
handler will never clear TIF_SIGPENDING, so we'll just keep faulting,
resulting in an unkillable process using 100% of CPU.

This change returns VM_FAULT_SIGBUS if there's a fatal signal pending,
letting us escape the loop.

Jeremy Kerr f5ed0eb6fe powerpc/spufs: Use state_mutex for switch_log locking, and prevent multiple openers
Currently, we use ctx->mapping_lock and ctx->switch_log->lock for the
context switch log. The mapping lock only prevents concurrent open()s,
so we require the switch_lock->lock for reads.

Since writes to the switch log buffer occur on context switches, we're
better off synchronising with the state_mutex, which is held during a
switch. Since we're serialised througout the buffer reads and writes,
we can use the state mutex to protect open and release too, and
can now kfree() the log buffer on release. This allows us to perform
the switch log notify without taking any extra locks.

Because the buffer is only present while the file is open, we can use
it to prevent multiple simultaneous openers.

warnings if the sputrace file hasn't yet been opened.

Since the buffer is reset on open() anyway, there's no need to enable
logging when no-one has opened the log.

Because open clears the log, make it return EBUSY for mutliple open

					  spu->alloc_state = SPU_USED
spu_schedule(newctx, spu)
  - assumes spu is still free
  - tries to schedule context on
    already-used spu

This change introduces a 'free_spu' flag to spu_unschedule, to indicate
whether or not the function should free the spu after descheduling the
context. We only set this flag if we're not going to re-schedule
another context on this SPU.

Add a comment to document this behaviour.

Jeremy Kerr 9f43e3914d powerpc/spufs: Fix multiple get_spu_context()
Commit 8d5636fbca introduced a reference
count on SPU contexts during find_victim, but this may cause a leak in
the reference count if we later find a better contender for a context to
unschedule.

Change the reference to after we've found our victim context, so we
don't do the extra get_spu_context().

Jeremy Kerr 8d5636fbca powerpc/spufs: reference context while dropping state mutex in scheduler
Based on an original patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>.

Currently, there is a possible reference-after-free in the spusched
code - contexts may be freed after we have released their state_mutex
in spusched_tick and find_victim.

This change takes a reference to the context before releasing the
mutex, so that the context doesn't get destroyed.

Jeremy Kerr d9dd421fd6 powerpc/spufs: fix npc setting for NOSCHED contexts
Currently, spu_run ignores the npc argument for contexts created with
SPU_CREATE_NOSCHED. While this is correct for isolated contexts,
there's no need to enforce the npc restriction on non-isolated NOSCHED
contexts.

This means that NOSCHED contexts can only ever run with an entry point
of 0x0.

This change to spu_run_init allows setting of the npc (and, while we're
at it, the privcntl) for non-isolated NOSCHED contexts. This allows
us to run NOSCHED contexts from any entry point.

Alexey Dobriyan 51cc50685a SL*B: drop kmem cache argument from constructor
Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
themselves multiplexeres.  Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.

Non-trivial places are:
	arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
	arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c

This is flag day, yes.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt a352894d07 spufs: use new vm_ops->access to allow local state access from gdb
This uses the new vm_ops->access to allow gdb to access the SPU local
store.  We currently prevent access to problem state registers, this can
be done later if really needed but it's safer not to.

Andre Detsch ad1ede1277 powerpc/spufs: better placement of spu affinity reference context
This patch adjusts the placement of a reference context from
a spu affinity chain. The reference context can now be placed
only on nodes that have enough spus not intended to be used by
another gang (already running on the node).
