2008-07-24powerpc: define support for 16G hugepagesJon Tollefson
The huge page size is defined for 16G pages. If a hugepagesz of 16G is specified at boot-time then it becomes the huge page size instead of the default 16M. The change in pgtable-64K.h is to the macro pte_iterate_hashed_subpages to make the increment to va (the 1 being shifted) be a long so that it is not shifted to 0. Otherwise it would create an infinite loop when the shift value is for a 16G page (when base page size is 64K).

2008-07-24powerpc: scan device tree for gigantic pagesJon Tollefson
The 16G huge pages have to be reserved in the HMC prior to boot. The location of the pages are placed in the device tree. This patch adds code to scan the device tree during very early boot and save these page locations until hugetlbfs is ready for them.

2008-07-24hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page sizeAndi Kleen
The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc). The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they are operating on. This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it (default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the hstate. Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

2008-07-24powerpc ioremap_protBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds ioremap_prot and pte_pgprot() so that one can extract protection bits from a PTE and use them to ioremap_prot() (in order to support ptrace of VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP as per Rik's patch). This moves a couple of flag checks around in the ioremap implementations of arch/powerpc. There's a side effect of allowing non-cacheable and non-guarded mappings on ppc32 which before would always have _PAGE_GUARDED set whenever _PAGE_NO_CACHE is. (standard ioremap will still set _PAGE_GUARDED, but ioremap_prot will be capable of setting such a non guarded mapping).

2008-07-23kgdb, powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb supportJason Wessel
This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core interface. It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of debug hooks. The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver. Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver configured. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things. I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86 machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups. I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype.

2008-07-22powerpc: Fix build bug with binutils < 2.18 and GCC < 4.2Segher Boessenkool
binutils < 2.18 has a bug that makes it misbehave when taking an ELF file with all segments at load address 0 as input. This happens when running "strip" on vmlinux, because of the AT() magic in this linker script. People using GCC >= 4.2 won't run into this problem, because the "build-id" support will put some data into the "notes" segment (at a non-zero load address). To work around this, we force some data into both the "dummy" segment and the kernel segment, so the dummy segment will get a non-zero load address. It's not enough to always create the "notes" segment, since if nothing gets assigned to it, its load address will be zero.

Although performance will be affected and the device may not recover, the system is still running, which at the very least should allow for a more graceful shutdown.

2008-07-22powerpc: Indicate which oprofile counters to use while in compat modeTorez Smith
While running on a system with new hardware and a kernel where the cpu_specs[] table does not recognize the new hardware, the identify_cpu() routine will select the default case as it searches through cpu_specs[] in an attempt to match the real PVR. Once the default case is selected, non of the oprofile counters and/or fields have been set up or defined. When identify_cpu() is called once more with the logical PVR, some of the cpu specific fields are replaced with the exception of the oprofile related ones. However, in the case where we have actually taken the default case while searching for the real PVR, we need to tell oprofile that we are now running in compatibility mode so it can pick up the correct counters. We do this by setting the oprofile_cpu_type field to be that taken from the cpu_specs[] for the cpu we are now emulating. This change will detect that we are now altering the real PVR and determine if we also need to update the oprofile_cpu_type field.

2008-07-18nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loopThomas Gleixner
Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing problem in the NOHZ code: scheduler switch to idle task enable interrupts Window starts here ----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED) irq_exit() stops the tick ----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED) return from schedule() cpu_idle(): preempt_disable(); Window ends here The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick disabled. The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric. Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure that we can not run into such a situation ever again. cpu_idle() { preempt_disable(); while(1) { tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we are in the idle loop while (!need_resched()) halt(); tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode preempt_enable_no_resched(); schedule(); preempt_disable(); } } In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... /me grabs a large brown paperbag.

Its possible to build the phylib as a module, however this breaks the board code because alloc_mdio_bitbang and mdiobus_register are not available if we build as a module. These are needed by the board code since it implements the low level mdio bitbang ops. So we unconditionally select PHYLIB to ensure its built into the kernel if we are building in EP8248E support.

2008-07-16powerpc: rework FSL Book-E PTE access and TLB missKumar Gala
This converts the FSL Book-E PTE access and TLB miss handling to match with the recent changes to 44x that introduce support for non-atomic PTE operations in pgtable-ppc32.h and removes write back to the PTE from the TLB miss handlers. In addition, the DSI interrupt code no longer tries to fixup write permission, this is left to generic code, and _PAGE_HWWRITE is gone. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
