Anil S Keshavamurthy e6f47f978b [PATCH] Notify page fault call chain
With this patch Kprobes now registers for page fault notifications only when
their is an active probe registered.  Once all the active probes are
unregistered their is no need to be notified of page faults and kprobes
unregisters itself from the page fault notifications.  Hence we will have ZERO
side effects when no probes are active.

Anil S Keshavamurthy 4f9e87c045 [PATCH] Notify page fault call chain for powerpc
Overloading of page fault notification with the notify_die() has performance
issues(since the only interested components for page fault is kprobes and/or
kdb) and hence this patch introduces the new notifier call chain exclusively
for page fault notifications their by avoiding notifying unnecessary
components in the do_page_fault() code path.

Paul Mackerras bfe5d83419 [PATCH] Define __raw_get_cpu_var and use it
There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which
is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning
that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled.  For
those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64,
powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower
code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var
on those platforms.

This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x,
raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu
implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that
have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

Bjorn Helgaas 4f1bcaf094 [PATCH] vgacon: make VGA_MAP_MEM take size, remove extra use
VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures.  It makes sense
to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between
vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end.

But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because
we aren't going to access memory starting there.  On ia64, which always has
to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely
incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being
nonsense.

As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap()
correctly, rather than giving it a zero size.

Anton Blanchard 1e92a550e8 [POWERPC] Fix mdelay badness on shared processor partitions
On partitioned PPC64 systems where a partition is given 1/10 of a
processor, we have seen mdelay() delaying for 10 times longer than it
should.  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.)

Arnd Bergmann ddf5f75a16 [POWERPC] disable floating point exceptions for init
Floating point exceptions should not be enabled by default,
as this setting impacts the performance on some CPUs, in
particular the Cell BE. 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.

How's this?

MPC10x-style interrupt controllers have a serial mode that allows
several interrupts to be clocked in through one INT signal.

This patch adds the software support for that mode.

arnd@arndb.de 379507181a [POWERPC] spufs: one more fix for 64k pages
The SPU context save/restore code is currently built
for a 4k page size and we provide a _shipped version
of it since most people don't have the spu toolchain
that is needed to rebuild that code.

This patch hardcodes the data structures to a 64k
page alignment, which also guarantees 4k alignment
but unfortunately wastes 60k of memory per SPU
context that is created in the running system.

We will follow up on this with another patch to
reduce that overhead or maybe redo the context
save/restore logic to do this part entirely different,
but for now it should make experimental systems
work with either page size.

Paul Mackerras bf72aeba2f powerpc: Use 64k pages without needing cache-inhibited large pages
Some POWER5+ machines can do 64k hardware pages for normal memory but
not for cache-inhibited pages.  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.

Paul Mackerras fab5db97e4 [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl
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.

This patch attempts to handle RTAS "busy" return codes in a more simple
and consistent manner.  Typical callers of RTAS shouldn't have to
manage wait times and delay calls.

This patch also changes the kernel to use msleep() rather than udelay()
when a runtime delay is necessary.  This will avoid CPU soft lockups
for extended delay conditions.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt c5cf0e30bf [PATCH] powerpc: Fix buglet with MMU hash management
Our MMU hash management code would not set the "C" bit (changed bit) in
the hardware PTE when updating a RO PTE into a RW PTE. 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.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt a5bba930d8 [PATCH] powerpc vdso updates
This patch cleans up some locking & error handling in the ppc vdso and
moves the vdso base pointer from the thread struct to the mm context
where it more logically belongs. It brings the powerpc implementation
closer to Ingo's new x86 one and also adds an arch_vma_name() function
allowing to print [vsdo] in /proc/<pid>/maps if Ingo's x86 vdso patch is
also applied.

Renzo Davoli 98a90c0279 [PATCH] powerpc: enable PPC_PTRACE_[GS]ETREGS on ppc32
I have tested PPC_PTRACE_GETREGS and PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS on umview.

I do not understand why historically these tags has been defined as
PPC_PTRACE_GETREGS and PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS instead of simply
PTRACE_[GS]ETREGS. The other "originality" is that the address must be
put into the "addr" field instead of the "data" field as stated in the
manual.

Jon Mason 0a9cb46a73 [PATCH] remove powerpc bitops in favor of existing generic bitops
There already exists a big endian safe bitops implementation in
lib/find_next_bit.c.  The code in it is 90%+ common with the powerpc
specific version, so the powerpc version is redundant.  This patch
makes the necessary changes to use the generic bitops in powerpc, and
removes the powerpc specific version.
