* powerpc: Add support for using doorbells for SMP IPIKumar Gala2009-02-231-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | The e500mc supports the new msgsnd/doorbell mechanisms that were added in the Power ISA 2.05 architecture. We use the normal level doorbell for doing SMP IPIs at this point.

* powerpc: Unify opcode definitions and supportKumar Gala2009-02-231-40/+18Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new header that becomes a single location for defining PowerPC opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about. We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already have. Added support for the new dcbzl, dcbal, msgsnd, tlbilx, & wait instructions since older assemblers don't know about them.

* powerpc: Add SPE/EFP math emulation for E500v1/v2 processors.Liu Yu2008-12-031-7/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch add the handlers of SPE/EFP exceptions. The code is used to emulate float point arithmetic, when MSR(SPE) is enabled and receive EFP data interrupt or EFP round interrupt. This patch has no conflict with or dependence on FP math-emu. The code has been tested by TestFloat. Now the code doesn't support SPE/EFP instructions emulation (it won't be called when receive program interrupt), but it could be easily added.

* powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal supportMichael Neuling2008-07-011-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available, as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits. Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state. The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31 doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers. Backward compatibility is maintained. The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full registers.

* [POWERPC] Reworking machine check handling and Fix 440/440ABenjamin Herrenschmidt2007-12-231-13/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a cputable function pointer for the CPU-side machine check handling. The semantic is still the same as the old one, the one in ppc_md. overrides the one in cputable, though ultimately we'll want to change that so the CPU gets first. This removes CONFIG_440A which was a problem for multiplatform kernels and instead fixes up the IVOR at runtime from a setup_cpu function. The "A" version of the machine check also tweaks the regs->trap value to differenciate the 2 versions at the C level.

* pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn2007-10-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, Soft_emulate_8xx was called with no implementation, resulting in build failures whenever building 8xx without math emulation. The implementation is copied from arch/ppc to resolve this issue. However, this sort of minimal emulation is not a very good idea other than for compatibility with existing userspaces, as it's less efficient than soft-float and can mislead users into believing they have soft-float.

* generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()Heiko Carstens2007-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(), gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents, etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack() emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets called from report_bug(): [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8) [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0 [<00000000000152ce>] dump_stack+0x2e/0x3c [<0000000000195450>] report_bug+0x98/0xf8 [<0000000000016cc8>] illegal_op+0x1fc/0x21c [<00000000000227d6>] sysc_return+0x0/0x10 Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Acked-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

* backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphoreRichard Purdie2007-02-201-3/+1Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the header file. The external users of this are using it for a different reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method. backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all. Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't need it. Also update the lcd class in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
* [POWERPC] Fixup error handling when emulating a floating point instructionKumar Gala2007-02-071-22/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | When we do full FP emulation its possible that we need to post a SIGFPE based on the results of the emulation. The previous code ignored this case completely. Additionally, the Soft_emulate_8xx case had two issues. One, we should never generate a SIGFPE since the code only does data movement. Second, we were interpreting the return codes incorrectly, it returns 0 on success, 1 on illop and -EFAULT on a data access error. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The e300c2 has no FPU. Its MSR[FP] is grounded to zero. If an attempt is made to execute a floating point instruction (including floating-point load, store, or move instructions), the e300c2 takes a floating-point unavailable interrupt. This patch adds support for FP emulation on the e300c2 by declaring a new CPU_FTR_FP_TAKES_FPUNAVAIL, where FP unavail interrupts are intercepted and redirected to the ProgramCheck exception path for correct emulation handling. (If we run out of CPU_FTR bits we could look to reclaim this bit by adding support to test the cpu_user_features for PPC_FEATURE_HAS_FPU instead) It adds a nop to the exception path for 32-bit processors with a FPU.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case of a system hang, the user will invoke soft-reset to initiate the kdump boot. If xmon is enabled, the CPU(s) enter into the xmon debugger. Unfortunately, the secondary CPU(s) will return to the hung state when they exit from the debugger (returned from die() -> system_reset_exception()). This causes a problem in kdump since the hung CPU(s) will not respond to the IPI sent from kdump. This patch fixes the issue by calling crash_kexec_secondary() directly from system_reset_exception() without returning to the previous state. These secondary CPUs wait 5ms until the kdump boot is started by the primary CPU. In the case we exited from the debugger to "recover" (command 'x' in xmon) the primary and the secondary CPUs will all return from die() -> system_reset_exception() ->crash_kexec_secondary() wait 5ms, then return to the previous state. A kdump boot is not started in this case. Signed-off-by: Haren Myneni <haren@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David Wilder <dwilder@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

On his suggestion, this patch changes the message to simply "Fatal exception". A suitable oops message should already have been displayed.

* [PATCH] panic_on_oops: remove ssleep()Horms2006-07-311-7/+3Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across all architectures that implement it. It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at all. This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is too long, feedback welcome. For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour. Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is already not present.

* [POWERPC] Add the use of the firmware soft-reset-nmi to kdump.David Wilder2006-06-281-14/+13Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch, kdump uses the firmware soft-reset NMI for two purposes: 1) Initiate the kdump (take a crash dump) by issuing a soft-reset. 2) Break a CPU out of a deadlock condition that is detected during kdump processing. When a soft-reset is initiated each CPU will enter system_reset_exception() and set its corresponding bit in the global bit-array cpus_in_sr then call die(). When die() finds the CPU's bit set in cpu_in_sr crash_kexec() is called to initiate a crash dump. The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() is called the "crashing CPU". All other CPUs are "secondary CPUs". The secondary CPU's pass through to crash_kexec_secondary() and sleep. The crashing CPU waits for all CPUs to enter via soft-reset then boots the kdump kernel (see crash_soft_reset_check()) When the system crashes due to a panic or exception, crash_kexec() is called by panic() or die(). The crashing CPU sends an IPI to all other CPUs to notify them of the pending shutdown. If a CPU is in a deadlock or hung state with interrupts disabled, the IPI will not be delivered. The result being, that the kdump kernel is not booted. This problem is solved with the use of a firmware generated soft-reset. After the crashing_cpu has issued the IPI, it waits for 10 sec for all CPUs to enter crash_ipi_callback(). A CPU signifies its entry to crash_ipi_callback() by setting its corresponding bit in the cpus_in_crash bit array. After 10 sec, if one or more CPUs have not set their bit in cpus_in_crash we assume that the CPU(s) is deadlocked. The operator is then prompted to generate a soft-reset to break the deadlock. Each CPU enters the soft reset handler as described above. Two conditions must be handled at this point: 1) The system crashed because the operator generated a soft-reset. See 2) The system had crashed before the soft-reset was generated ( in the case of a Panic or oops). The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() uses the state of the kexec_lock to determine this state. If kexec_lock is already held then condition 2 is true and crash_kexec_secondary() is called, else; this CPU is flagged as the crashing CPU, the kexec_lock is acquired and crash_kexec() proceeds as described above. Each additional CPUs responding to the soft-reset will pass through crash_kexec() to kexec_secondary(). All secondary CPUs call crash_ipi_callback() readying them self's for the shutdown. When ready they clear their bit in cpus_in_sr. The crashing CPU waits in kexec_secondary() until all other CPUs have cleared their bits in cpus_in_sr. The kexec kernel boot is then started.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctlPaul Mackerras2006-06-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

| * [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changesAlan Stern2006-03-271-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)
