* [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentryDavid Howells2006-06-234-11/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

* [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells2006-06-233-13/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

| * [ARM] Add thread_notify infrastructureRussell King2006-06-221-0/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some machine classes need to allow VFP support to be built into the kernel, but still allow the kernel to run even though VFP isn't present. Unfortunately, the kernel hard-codes VFP instructions into the thread switch, which prevents this being run-time selectable. Solve this by introducing a notifier which things such as VFP can hook into to be informed of events which affect the VFP subsystem (eg, creation and destruction of threads, switches between threads.)

The first change adds a bit indicating that 802.11h rules are to be applied to a channel. As discussed earlier in this list, a single bit is unlikely to be sufficient; however, at this time I have been unable to find any regulations implementing differences between 802.11a and 802.11h other than DFS, radar detection and passive scanning. A single bit is thus sufficient to convey to the driver that these rules should be obeyed. The second change adds comments to the freq and max_power fields of struct ieee80211_channel to indicate the units that are used.

The reason is that the generic mdelay(n) does n delays of 1 millisecond each. However, with 1/10 of a processor, we only get a one-millisecond timeslice every 10ms. Thus each 1 millisecond delay loop ends up taking 10ms elapsed time. The solution is just to use the PPC64 udelay function, which uses the timebase to ensure that the delay is based on elapsed time rather than how much processing time the partition has been given. (Yes, the generic mdelay uses the PPC64 udelay, but the problem is that the start time gets reset every millisecond, and each time it gets reset we lose another 9ms.)

Since the bits are inherited from parent processes, the place to change the default is the thread struct used for init. glibc sets this up correctly per thread in its fesetenv function, so user space should not be impacted by this setting. None of the other common libc implementations (uClibc, dietlibc, newlib, klibc) has support for fp exceptions, so they are unlikely to be hit by this either. There is a small risk that somebody wrote their own application that manually sets the fpscr bits instead of calling fesetenv, without changing the MSR bits as well. Those programs will break with this change. It probably makes sense to change glibc in the future to be more clever about FE bits, so that when running on a CPU where this is expensive, it disables exceptions ASAP, while it keeps them enabled on CPUs where running with exceptions on is cheaper than changing the state often.

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.

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 solution.

| * | | | | powerpc: Use 64k pages without needing cache-inhibited large pagesPaul Mackerras2006-06-155-8/+20

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.

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. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

It is intended for use by programs such as instruction set emulators (for example an x86 emulator on PowerPC), which may find it convenient to use the processor in an alternate endianness mode when executing translated instructions. Note that this does not imply the existence of a fully-fledged ABI for both endiannesses, or of compatibility code for converting system calls done in the non-native endianness mode. The program is expected to arrange for all of its system call arguments to be presented in the native endianness. Switching between big and little-endian mode will require some care in constructing the instruction sequence for the switch. Generally the instructions up to the instruction that invokes the prctl system call will have to be in the old endianness, and subsequent instructions will have to be in the new endianness.

That would cause the hardware to possibly to a write back to the hash table to set it on the first store access, which in addition to being a performance issue, might also hit a bug when running with native hash management (non-HV) 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.
