2010-05-17powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix InstructionTLBError execute permission checkLi Yang
In CONFIG_PTE_64BIT the PTE format has unique permission bits for user and supervisor execute. However on !CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we overload the supervisor bit to imply user execute with _PAGE_USER set. This allows us to use the same permission check mask for user or supervisor code on !CONFIG_PTE_64BIT. However, on CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we map _PAGE_EXEC to _PAGE_BAP_UX so we need a different permission mask based on the fault coming from a kernel address or user space. Without unique permission masks we see issues like the following with modules: Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch Faulting instruction address: 0xf938d040 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] Signed-off-by: Li Yang <leoli@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Jin Qing <b24347@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-05-17KVM: PPC: Find HTAB ourselvesAlexander Graf
For KVM we need to find the location of the HTAB. We can either rely on internal data structures of the kernel or ask the hardware. Ben issued complaints about the internal data structure method, so let's switch it to our own inquiry of the HTAB. Now we're fully independend :-).

2010-05-17KVM: PPC: Add KVM intercept handlersAlexander Graf
When an interrupt occurs we don't know yet if we're in guest context or in host context. When in guest context, KVM needs to handle it. So let's pull the same trick we did on Book3S_64: Just add a macro to determine if we're in guest context or not and if so jump on to KVM code.

2010-05-17KVM: PPC: Add SVCPU to Book3S_32Alexander Graf
We need to keep the pointer to the shadow vcpu somewhere accessible from within really early interrupt code. The best fit I found was the thread struct, as that resides in an SPRG.

2010-05-12powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to perf_event_do_pending callPaul Mackerras
Anton Blanchard found that large POWER systems would occasionally crash in the exception exit path when profiling with perf_events. 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.)

2010-04-28driver-core: Add device node pointer to struct deviceGrant Likely
Currently, platforms using CONFIG_OF add a 'struct device_node *of_node' to dev->archdata. However, with CONFIG_OF becoming generic for all architectures, it makes sense for commonality to move it out of archdata and into struct device proper. This patch adds a struct device_node *of_node member to struct device and updates all locations which currently write the device_node pointer into archdata to also update dev->of_node. Subsequent patches will modify callers to use the archdata location and ultimately remove the archdata member entirely.

2010-04-28powerpc/numa: Add form 1 NUMA affinityAnton Blanchard
Firmware changed the way it represents memory and cpu affinity on POWER7. Unfortunately the old method now caps the topology to work around issues with legacy operating systems. For Linux to get the correct topology we need to use the new form 1 affinity information. We set the form 1 field in the client architecture, and if we see "1" in the ibm,associativity-form property firmware supports form 1 affinity and we should look at the first field in the ibm,associativity-reference-points array.

2010-04-07powerpc/pseries: Call ibm,os-term if the ibm,extended-os-term is presentAnton Blanchard
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.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-19powerpc: Remove IOMMU_VMERGE config optionFUJITA Tomonori
The description says: Cause IO segments sent to a device for DMA to be merged virtually by the IOMMU when they happen to have been allocated contiguously. This doesn't add pressure to the IOMMU allocator. However, some drivers don't support getting large merged segments coming back from *_map_sg(). Most drivers don't have this problem; it is safe to say Y here. It's out of date. Long ago, drivers didn't have a way to tell IOMMUs about their segment length limit (that is, the maximum segment length that they can handle). So IOMMUs merged as many segments as possible and gave too large segments to drivers. dma_get_max_seg_size() was introduced to solve the above problem. Device drives can use the API to tell IOMMU about the maximum segment length that they can handle. In addition, the default limit (64K) should be safe for everyone. So this config option seems to be unnecessary. Note that this config option just enables users to disable the virtual merging by default. Users can still disable the virtual merging by the boot parameter. Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-03-19powerpc: Fix swiotlb to respect the boot optionFUJITA Tomonori
powerpc initializes swiotlb before parsing the kernel boot options so swiotlb options (e.g. specifying the swiotlb buffer size) are ignored. Any time before freeing bootmem works for swiotlb so this patch moves powerpc's swiotlb initialization after parsing the kernel boot options, mem_init (as x86 does).
