arnd@arndb.de d9379c4bce [POWERPC] spufs: restore mapping of mssync register
A recent change to the way that the mfc file gets mapped made it
impossible to map the SPE Multi-Source Synchronization register
into user space, but that may be needed by some applications.

This restores the missing functionality.

arnd@arndb.de 91edfa49b9 [POWERPC] cell: always build spu base into the kernel
The spu_base module is rather deeply intermixed with the

This will let us extend the base in the future without
having to export more core symbols just for it.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt acf7d76827 [POWERPC] cell: add RAS support
This is a first version of support for the Cell BE "Reliability,
Availability and Serviceability" features.

It doesn't yet handle some of the RAS interrupts (the ones described in
iic_is/iic_irr), I'm still working on a proper way to expose these. They
are essentially a cascaded controller by themselves (sic !) though I may
just handle them locally to the iic driver. I need also to sync with
David Erb on the way he hooked in the performance monitor interrupt.

So that's all for 2.6.17 and I'll do more work on that with my rework of
the powerpc interrupt layer that I'm hacking on at the moment.

Instead of trying to make PPC64 MSI fit in a Intel-centric MSI layer, a
simple short-term solution is to hook the pci_{en/dis}able_msi() calls

The rest of the MSI functions are superfluous for what is needed at this
time.  Many of which can have machdep calls added as needed.

Ben and Michael Ellerman are looking into rewrite the MSI layer to be
more generic.  However, in the meantime this works as a interim

Paul Mackerras bf72aeba2f powerpc: Use 64k pages without needing cache-inhibited large pages
Some POWER5+ machines can do 64k hardware pages for normal memory but
not for cache-inhibited pages.  This patch lets us use 64k hardware
pages for most user processes on such machines (assuming the kernel
has been configured with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y).  User processes
start out using 64k pages and get switched to 4k pages if they use any
non-cacheable mappings.

With this, we use 64k pages for the vmalloc region and 4k pages for
the imalloc region.  If anything creates a non-cacheable mapping in
the vmalloc region, the vmalloc region will get switched to 4k pages.
I don't know of any driver other than the DRM that would do this,
though, and these machines don't have AGP.

When a region gets switched from 64k pages to 4k pages, we do not have
to clear out all the 64k HPTEs from the hash table immediately.  We
use the _PAGE_COMBO bit in the Linux PTE to indicate whether the page
was hashed in as a 64k page or a set of 4k pages.  If hash_page is
trying to insert a 4k page for a Linux PTE and it sees that it has
already been inserted as a 64k page, it first invalidates the 64k HPTE
before inserting the 4k HPTE.  The hash invalidation routines also use
the _PAGE_COMBO bit, to determine whether to look for a 64k HPTE or a
set of 4k HPTEs to remove.  With those two changes, we can tolerate a
mix of 4k and 64k HPTEs in the hash table, and they will all get
removed when the address space is torn down.

Paul Mackerras fab5db97e4 [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl
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.

as our code is specifically optimized for the case where no write back
happens.

Thus there is a very small therocial window were a hash PTE can become
corrupted if that HPTE has just been upgraded to read write, a store
access happens on it, and that races with another processor evicting
that same slot. Since eviction (caused by an almost full hash) is
extremely rare, the bug is very unlikely to happen fortunately.

This fixes by allowing the updating of the protection bits in the native
hash handling to also set (but not clear) the "C" bit, and, in order to
also improve performances in the general case, by always setting that
bit on newly inserted hash PTE so that writeback really never happens.

We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out
I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can
clean this mess up.

Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated
above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens
we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it.

This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we
do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify
lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well.

AFAICT we can't do this just with a choice, because the choice is either

select early debugging.

So add a bool which controls whether we have early debugging at all, and then
if that's enabled provide the choice. The extra bool will actually be useful
in another patch I have lying around, so this is a win-win.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt cb6b2eb9bc [PATCH] Fix pSeries identification in prom_init.c
The OF trampoline code prom_init.c still needs to identify IBM pSeries
(PAPR) machines in order to run some platform specific code on them like
instanciating the TCE tables. The code doing that detection was changed
recently in 2.6.17 early stages but was done slightly incorrectly. It
should be testing for an exact match of "chrp" and it currently tests
for anything that begins with "chrp". That means it will incorrectly
match with platforms using Maple-like device-trees and have open
firmware. This fixes it by using strcmp instead of strncmp to match what
the actual platform detection code does.

David Gibson f10a04c034 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings.  Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation.  With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse.  Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.

The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages.  Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.

Linas Vepstas ac325acd50 [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: clear PCI failure counter if no new failures
The current PCI error recovery system keeps track of the number of PCI card
resets, and refuses to bring a card back up if this number is too large.
The goal of doing this was to avoid an infinite loop of resets if a card is
obviously dead.  However, if the failures are rare, but the machine has a
high uptime, this mechanism might still be triggered; this is too harsh.

This patch will avoids this problem by decrementing the fail count after an
hour.  Thus, as long as a pci card BSOD's less than 6 times an hour, it
will continue to be reset indefinitely.  If it's failure rate is greater
than that, it will be taken off-line permanently.

This patch is larger than it might otherwise be because it changes
indentation by removing a pointless while-loop.  The while loop is not
needed, as the handler is invoked once fo each event (by schedule_work());
the loop is leftover cruft from an earlier implementation.

Haren Myneni 81bbbe9294 [PATCH] powerpc: clear IPIs on kdump
In some crash scenarios, the kexec CPU is not responding to an IPI sent by
secondary CPU after init thread is forked, causing the system to drop into
xmon during kdump boot.  This problem can be reproduced each time when the
debugger is enabled and soft-reset is used to invoke kdump boot. The first
CPU sends an IPI - setting the IPI priority for all secondary cpus
(xics_cause_ipi()). But some CPUs will enter into the xmon via soft-reset,
i.e, not executing xics_ipi_action(). Hence, IPI is not cleared. When
exited from the debugger, one of these CPUs could become the primary kexec
CPU. Since the IPI is not cleared, causing this issue in kdump boot. This
patch clears and EOI IPI for kexec CPU as well before the kdump boot
started.

Arnd Bergmann 23b2527d5e [PATCH] powerpc/cell: remove BUILD_BUG_ON and add sys_tee to spu_syscall_table
Every time a new syscall gets added, a BUILD_BUG_ON in
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_callbacks.c gets triggered.
Since the addition of a new syscall is rather harmless,
the error should just be removed.

While we're here, add sys_tee to the list and add a comment
to systbl.S to remind people that there is another list
on powerpc.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 60162e498e [PATCH] powermac: Fix i2c on keywest based chips
The new i2c implementation for PowerMac has a regression that causes the
hardware to go out of state when probing non-existent devices. While
fixing that, I also found & fixed a couple of other corner cases. This
fixes booting with a pbbuttons version that scans the i2c bus for an LMU
controller among others. Tested on a dual G5 with thermal control (which
has heavy i2c activity) with no problem so far.

Olof Johansson 2889773131 [PATCH] powerpc: Lower threshold for DART enablement to 1GB
Turn on the DART already at 1GB. This is needed because of crippled
devices in some systems, i.e. Airport Extreme cards, only supporting
30-bit DMA addresses.

Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually
enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good.

Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of
enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O
as well as over NFS).

iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the
overhead (and don't need it for any devices).
