| * | powerpc: Fix CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC on 603/e300Benjamin Herrenschmidt2010-05-061-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So we tried to speed things up a bit using flush_hash_pages() directly but that falls over on 603 of course meaning we fail to flush the TLB properly and we may even end up having it corrupt memory randomly by accessing a hash table that doesn't exist. This removes the "optimization" by always going through flush_tlb_page() for now at least. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
| * | powerpc/pseries: Only call start-cpu when a CPU is stoppedMichael Neuling2010-05-061-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we always call start-cpu irrespective of if the CPU is stopped or not. Unfortunatley on POWER7, firmware seems to not like start-cpu being called when a cpu already been started. This was not the case on POWER6 and earlier. This patch checks to see if the CPU is stopped or not via an query-cpu-stopped-state call, and only calls start-cpu on CPUs which are stopped. This fixes a bug with kexec on POWER7 on PHYP where only the primary thread would make it to the second kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves query_cpu_stopped() out of the hotplug cpu code and into smp.c so it can called in other places and renames it to smp_query_cpu_stopped().

| * | powerpc/4xx: Add optional "reset_type" property to control reboot via dtsStefan Roese2010-05-051-2/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By setting "reset_type" to one of the following values, the default software reset mechanism may be overidden. Here the possible values of "reset_type": 1 - PPC4xx core reset 2 - PPC4xx chip reset 3 - PPC4xx system reset (default) This will be used by a new PPC440SPe board port, which needs a "chip reset" instead of the default "system reset" to be asserted.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the base support for the 476 processor. The code was primarily written by Ben Herrenschmidt and Torez Smith, but I've been maintaining it for a while. The goal is to have a single binary that will run on 44x and 47x, but we still have some details to work out. The biggest is that the L1 cache line size differs on the two platforms, but it's currently a compile-time option.

If hotplug memory is enabled, drivers/base/memory.c does this: for (i = 0; i < NR_MEM_SECTIONS; i++) { if (!present_section_nr(i)) continue; err = add_memory_block(0, __nr_to_section(i), MEM_ONLINE, 0, BOOT); if (!ret) ret = err; } Which creates a sysfs directory for every 16MB of memory. As a result I'm seeing up to 30 minutes spent here during boot: c000000000248ee0 .__sysfs_add_one+0x28/0x128 c0000000002492a8 .sysfs_add_one+0x38/0x188 c000000000249c88 .create_dir+0x70/0x138 c000000000249d98 .sysfs_create_dir+0x48/0x78 c00000000032bad8 .kobject_add_internal+0x140/0x308 c00000000032beb4 .kobject_init_and_add+0x4c/0x68 c00000000046c2c0 .sysdev_register+0xa0/0x220 c00000000047b1dc .add_memory_block+0x124/0x1e8 c0000000008d1f28 .memory_dev_init+0xf4/0x168 c0000000008d1b64 .driver_init+0x50/0x64 c000000000890378 .do_basic_setup+0x40/0xd4 I assume there are some O(n^2) issues in sysfs as we add all the memory nodes. Bumping SECTION_SIZE_BITS to 256 MB drops the time to about 10 seconds and results in a much smaller /sys.

| * | powerpc/pseries: Call ibm,os-term if the ibm,extended-os-term is presentAnton Blanchard2010-04-071-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have had issues in the past with ibm,os-term initiating shutdown of a partition. This is confusing to the user, especially if panic_timeout is non zero. The temporary fix was to avoid calling ibm,os-term if a panic_timeout was set and since we set it on every boot we basically never call ibm,os-term. An extended version of ibm,os-term has since been implemented which gives us the behaviour we want: "When the platform supports extended ibm,os-term behavior, the return to the RTAS will always occur unless there is a kernel assisted dump active as initiated by an ibm,configure-kernel-dump call." This patch checks for the ibm,extended-os-term property and calls ibm,os-term if it exists.

| * | powerpc/numa: Set a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE to enable zone reclaimAnton Blanchard2010-04-071-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets enabled via this: /* * If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better * to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node. */ if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE) zone_reclaim_mode = 1; Since we use the default value of 20 for REMOTE_DISTANCE and 20 for RECLAIM_DISTANCE it never kicks in. The local to remote bandwidth ratios can be quite large on System p machines so it makes sense for us to reclaim clean pagecache locally before going off node. The patch below sets a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE and thus enables zone reclaim.

| * | powerpc: Fix handling of strncmp with zero lenJeff Mahoney2010-04-071-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0119536c, which added the assembly version of strncmp to powerpc, mentions that it adds two instructions to the version from boot/string.S to allow it to handle len=0. Unfortunately, it doesn't always return 0 when that is the case. The length is passed in r5, but the return value is passed back in r3. In certain cases, this will happen to work. Otherwise it will pass back the address of the first string as the return value. This patch lifts the len <= 0 handling code from memcpy to handle that case.

The other change here is to make sure that kgdb_handle_exception() is called with correct parameters when catching an oops, because kdb needs to know if the entry was an oops, single step, or breakpoint exception.

| * | | kgdb: core changes to support kdbJason Wessel2010-05-201-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core. This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the user level I/O is routed. It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc connection. You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of operation dynamically. From gdb stub mode you can blindly type "$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the gdb stub. The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a gdb serial command sequence is detected. That should allow a reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the kernel exception state. The two gdb serial queries that kdb is responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

| |/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we compare the devices DMA mask to the amount of memory we need to make sure we treat the DMA mask as an address boundary. For example if the DMA_MASK(32) and we have 4G of memory we'd incorrectly set the dma ops to swiotlb. We need to add one to the dma mask when we convert it.

The symptom was that an interrupt would occur late in the exit path when the MSR[RI] (recoverable interrupt) bit was clear. Interrupts should be hard-disabled at this point but they were enabled. Because the interrupt was not recoverable the system panicked. The reason is that the exception exit path was calling perf_event_do_pending after hard-disabling interrupts, and perf_event_do_pending will re-enable interrupts. The simplest and cleanest fix for this is to use the same mechanism that 32-bit powerpc does, namely to cause a self-IPI by setting the decrementer to 1. This means we can remove the tests in the exception exit path and raw_local_irq_restore. This also makes sure that the call to perf_event_do_pending from timer_interrupt() happens within irq_enter/irq_exit. (Note that calling perf_event_do_pending from timer_interrupt does not mean that there is a possible 1/HZ latency; setting the decrementer to 1 ensures that the timer interrupt will happen immediately, i.e. within one timebase tick, which is a few nanoseconds or 10s of nanoseconds.)

| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bypassing of this test is a leftover from 2.4 vintage kernels, and is no longer appropriate, or even used by KGDB. Currently KGDB uses probe_kernel_write() for all access to memory via the KGDB core, so it can simply be deleted. This fixes CVE-2010-1446.
