Luke Browning de1028927a [POWERPC] spufs: handle faults while the context switch pending flag is set
Currently, page fault handlers don't issue a mfc restart if the context
switch pending flag is set, which can leave us with a hanging DMA after
a context restore.

This patch introduces fault pending flag that is set by the fault
handler and read by the context switch code, so that the latter can add
the restart bit at the right spot, after it has successfuly saved the
state of the mfc control register.

Luke Browning f3d69e0507 [POWERPC] spufs: fix concurrent delivery of class 0 & 1 exceptions
SPU class 0 & 1 exceptions may occur in parallel, so we may end up
overwriting csa.dsisr.

This change adds dedicated fields for each class to the spu and the spu
context so that fault data is not overwritten.

Luke Browning 7a2142002f [POWERPC] spufs: try to route SPU interrupts to local node
Currently, we re-route SPU interrupts to the current cpu, which may be
on a remote node. In the case of time slicing, all spu interrupts will
end up routed to the same cpu, where the spusched_tick occurs.

This change routes mfc interrupts to the cpu where the controlling
thread last ran, provided that cpu is on the same node as the spu
(otherwise don't reroute interrupts).

This should improve performance and provide a more predictable
environment for processing spu exceptions. In the past we have seen
concurrent delivery of spu exceptions to two cpus. This eliminates that
concern.

Luke Browning 093c16bf9b [POWERPC] spufs: set SPU_CONTEXT_SWITCH_PENDING before synchronising SPU irqs
synchronize_irq() provides the serialization for
SPU_CONTEXT_SWITCH_PENDING which is read with a simple load. This
routine guarantees that the relevant interrupt handlers are not running,
so that the next time they do run they will see the update
memory value.

This must be done correctly so that exception handling code does not
restart the mfc in the middle of a context switch while we are trying
to atomically stop it and save state.

Jeremy Kerr d29694f068 [POWERPC] spufs: don't acquire state_mutex interruptible while performing callback
There's currently no way to tell if spu_process_callback has

Currently, we update the SPU master run control bit (ie,

Jeremy Kerr 55d7cd74d4 [POWERPC] spufs: fix post-stopped update of MFC_CNTL register
We currently have two issues with the MFC save code:

 * save_mfc_decr doesn't handle a transition of 1 -> 0 of the Ds bit
 * The Q bit may be stale in the CSA

This change fixes the first issue by clearing the relevant bits from
the MFC_CNTL value in the CSA before or-ing in the updated status.
Also, we add the Q bit to the updated status.

Jeremy Kerr 1ca4264ee1 [POWERPC] spufs: fix save of mfc_cntl register
Currently, we can introduce invalid entries into the MFC queues:

1) context starts a DMA

2) context gets scheduled out during a DMA
  - kernel saves MFC queue to CSA
  - kernel saves 0x0 in csa->mfc_control_RW

3) context gets scheduled in
  - csa->mfc_control[Q] ('queues empty') isn't set, so DMA queues are
    restored from the CSA

4) context's DMA is completed

5) context gets scheduled out again, no DMA occuring this time
  - kernel sees that MFC_CNTL[Q] ('queues empty') is set, so doesn't
    touch saved queue data in CSA
  - kernel saves 0x0 in csa->mfc_control_RW

6) context gets scheduled in
  - csa->mfc_control[Q] ('queues empty') isn't set (we saved is as 0!),
    so DMA queues are restored from the CSA

In this last restore, we've restored the queue status from step 2,
which are now invalid.

This change makes save_mfc_cntl() closer to the save/restore sequence,
as specified in the CBE handbook.

With changes from Luke Browning.

Gerhard Stenzel ada397e93d [POWERPC] spufs: fix incorrect file descriptors in SPU coredump note names
At present, ppu-gdb can't trace spu infomation with coredump generated
by the kernel. While the core dumps notes have correct contents, they
have the wrong names, as the file descriptors used to generate the note
names are off-by-one. An application that opens a SPE context as fd 3,
the current core dump code will generate notes like:
  SPU/4/mem
  SPU/4/regs
etc.

This confuses GDB, which knows it is looking for SPE context 3 (from
parsing the spu_context_run system call arguments), and cannot find
any notes that match context 3.

This change corrects the file descriptor counting, to only increment
the fd until after we've written the note name.

Arnd Bergmann fae9ca7915 [POWERPC] spufs: synchronize IRQ when disabling
There is a small race between the context save procedure
and the SPU interrupt handling, where we expect all interrupt
processing to have finished after disabling them, while
an interrupt is still being processed on another CPU.

The obvious fix is to call synchronize_irq() after disabling
the interrupts at the start of the context save procedure
to make sure we never access the SPU any more during an
ongoing save or even after that.

[5.097989174] 1607: spufs_ps_nopfn__insert (thread = 1605, spu = 14)

Which leads me to believe that 160[67] is the current thread ID, and
1605 is the context backing the psmap.

However, the 'current' and 'owner' tids are reversed - the 'current'
tid is on the right. This change puts the current thread ID in the

Jeremy Kerr 4ef110141b [POWERPC] spufs: fix scheduler starvation by idle contexts
2.6.25 has a regression where we can starve the scheduler by creating
(N_SPES+1) contexts, then running them one at a time.

The final context will never be run, as the other contexts are loaded on
the SPEs, none of which are repoted as free (ie, spu->alloc_state !=
SPU_FREE), so spu_get_idle() doesn't give us a spu to run on. Because
all of the contexts are stopped, none are descheduled by the scheduler
tick, as spusched_tick returns if spu_stopped(ctx).

This change replaces the spu_stopped() check with checking for SCHED_IDLE
in ctx->policy. We set a context's policy to SCHED_IDLE when we're not
in spu_run(). We also favour SCHED_IDLE contexts when looking for contexts
to unbind, but leave their timeslice intact for later resumption.

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.

- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
  armed.

Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.

This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".

If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.

It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :

Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

Andre Detsch 18789fb1c3 [POWERPC] spufs: DMA Restart after SIGSEGV
This fixes the behavior of spufs when a spu tries a DMA operation
based on a wrong / unavailable address.

Instead of just generating a SIGBUS signal, spufs now
generates a SIGSEGV signal and restarts the problematic DMA operation
after the execution of the application's signal handler.  This allows
applications to employ user-level paging systems.

Although the restart_dma function is called before the application's
signal handler, the operation is not actually performed at this time,
since the spu context is already stopped.  The operation only takes
place when spu_run is restarted (which happens automatically).

Based on original patches from
 Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergman@de.ibm.com>; and

Currently, spu contexts need to be loaded to the SPU in order to take
class 0 and class 1 exceptions.

This change makes the actual interrupt-handlers much simpler (ie,
set the exception information in the context save area), and defers the
handling code to the spufs_handle_class[01] functions, called from
spufs_run_spu.

This should improve the concurrency of the spu scheduling leading to
greater SPU utilization when SPUs are overcommited.

Masato Noguchi c25620d766 [POWERPC] cell: wrap master run control bit
Add platform specific SPU run control routines to the spufs.  The current
spufs implementation uses the SPU master run control bit (MFC_SR1[S]) to
control SPE execution, but the PS3 hypervisor does not support the use of
this feature.

This change adds the run control wrapper routies spu_enable_spu() and
spu_disable_spu().  The bare metal routines use the master run control
bit, and the PS3 specific routines use the priv2 run control register.

An outstanding enhancement for the PS3 would be to add a guard to check
for incorrect access to the spu problem state when the spu context is
disabled.  This check could be implemented with a flag added to the spu
context that would inhibit mapping problem state pages, and a routine
to unmap spu problem state pages.  When the spu is enabled with
ps3_enable_spu() the flag would be set allowing pages to be mapped,
and when the spu is disabled with ps3_disable_spu() the flag would be
cleared and mapped problem state pages would be unmapped.

(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).

We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.

We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments.  That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.

Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.

Because spufs might be built as a module, we can't have other parts of the

Currently we have two structures which hold callbacks for these stubs, the
syscalls are in spufs_calls and the coredump calls are in spufs_coredump_calls.
In both cases the logic for registering/unregistering is essentially the same,
so we can simplify things by combining the two.

Jeremy Kerr 98f06978ff [POWERPC] cell: Unify spufs syscall path
At present, a built-in spufs will not use the spufs_calls callbacks, but
directly call sys_spu_create.  This saves us an indirect branch, but
means we have duplicated functions - one for CONFIG_SPU_FS=y and one for
=m.

This change unifies the spufs syscall path, and provides access to the
spufs_calls structure through a get/put pair.  At present, the only user
of the spufs_calls structure is spu_syscalls.c, but this will facilitate
adding the coredump calls later.

Everyone likes numbers, right?  Here's a before/after comparison with
CONFIG_SPU_FS=y, doing spu_create(); close(); 64k times.

Before:
	[jk@cell ~]$ time ./spu_create
	performing 65536 spu_create calls

	real    0m24.075s
	user    0m0.146s
	sys     0m23.925s

After:
	[jk@cell ~]$ time ./spu_create
	performing 65536 spu_create calls

	real    0m24.777s
	user    0m0.141s
	sys     0m24.631s

So, we're adding around 11us per syscall, at the benefit of having
only one syscall path.

 - the spu_alloc* and spu_free function are gone as the state change is

Addition of a spufs-global "cbe_info" array. Each entry contains information
about one Cell/B.E. node, namelly:
* list of spus (both free and busy spus are in this list);
* list of free spus (replacing the static spu_list from spu_base.c)
* number of spus;
* number of reserved (non scheduleable) spus.

SPE affinity implementation actually requires only access to one spu per
BE node (since it implements its own pointer to walk through the other spus
of the ring) and the number of scheduleable spus (n_spus - non_sched_spus)

Masato Noguchi 7e90b74967 [CELL] spufs: use find_first_bit() instead of sched_find_first_bit()
spu_sched->bitmap has MAX_PRIO(=140) width in bits.However, since
ff80a77f20, sched_find_first_bit()
only supports 100-bit bitmaps.

Thus, spu_sched->bitmap should be treated by generic find_first_bit().

We use the same algorithms as the CPU scheduler to calculate the time

Note that currently we do not boost the priority for contexts waiting
on the runqueue for a long time, so contexts with a higher nice value
could starve ones with less priority.  This could easily be fixed once

being single-stepped via ptrace. The spu then stops and
returns with a specific flag set and the syscall exit code
will generate the SIGTRAP.

The error path in spufs_fill_dir() is broken. If d_alloc_name() or
spufs_new_file() fails, spufs_prune_dir() is getting called. At this time
dir->inode is not set and a NULL pointer is dereferenced by mutex_lock().
This bugfix replaces spufs_prune_dir() with a shorter version that does
not touch dir->inode but simply removes all children.

Fix the race between checking for contexts on the runqueue and actually
waking them in spu_deactive and spu_yield.

The guts of spu_reschedule are split into a new helper called
grab_runnable_context which shows if there is a runnable thread below
a specified priority and if yes removes if from the runqueue and uses
it.  This function is used by the new __spu_deactivate hepler shared
by preemption and spu_yield to grab a new context before deactivating
a specified priority and if yes removes if from the runqueue and uses
it.  This function is used by the new __spu_deactivate hepler shared

the old one.

Christoph Lameter 50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

Arnd Bergmann 57dace2391 [POWERPC] spufs: make spu page faults not block scheduling
Until now, we have always entered the spu page fault handler
with a mutex for the spu context held. This has multiple
bad side-effects:
- it becomes impossible to suspend the context during
  page faults
- if an spu program attempts to access its own mmio
  areas through DMA, we get an immediate livelock when
  the nopage function tries to acquire the same mutex

This patch makes the page fault logic operate on a
struct spu_context instead of a struct spu, and moves it
from spu_base.c to a new file fault.c inside of spufs.

We now also need to copy the dar and dsisr contents
of the last fault into the saved context to have it
accessible in case we schedule out the context before
activating the page fault handler.

Christoph Hellwig 7ec18ab923 [POWERPC] spufs: streamline locking for isolated spu setup
For quite a while now spu state is protected by a simple mutex instead
of the old rw_semaphore, and this means we can simplify the locking
around spu_setup_isolated a lot.

Instead of doing an spu_release before entering spu_setup_isolated and
then calling the complicated spu_acquire_exclusive we can now simply
enter the function locked an in guaranteed runnable state, so that the
only bit of spu_acquire_exclusive that's left is the call to
spu_unmap_mappings.

Similarly there's no more need to unlock and reacquire the state_mutex
when spu_setup_isolated is done, but we can always return with the
lock held and only drop it in spu_run_init in the failure case.

The SPU code doesn't properly invalidate SPUs SLBs when necessary,
for example when changing a segment size from the hugetlbfs code. In
addition, it saves and restores the SLB content on context switches
which makes it harder to properly handle those invalidations.

This patch removes the saving & restoring for now, something more
efficient might be found later on. It also adds a spu_flush_all_slbs(mm)
that can be used by the core mm code to flush the SLBs of all SPEs that
are running a given mm at the time of the flush.

In order to do that, it adds a spinlock to the list of all SPEs and move

Christoph Hellwig 2eb1b12049 [POWERPC] spu sched: static timeslicing for SCHED_RR contexts
For SCHED_RR tasks we can do some really trivial timeslicing.  Basically
we fire up a time for every scheduler tick that searches for a higher
or same priority thread that is on the runqueue and if there is one
context switches to it.  Because we can't lock spus from timer context
we actually run this from a delayed runqueue instead of a timer.

A nice optimization would be to skip the actual priority bitmap search
when there are less contexts than physical spus available.  To implement
this I need a so far unpublished patch from Andre, and it will be added
after we have that patch in.

Note that right now we only do the time slicing for SCHED_RR tasks.
The code would work for SCHED_OTHER tasks aswell, but their prio
value is defered from the one the PPU thread has at time of spu_run,
and using this for spu scheduling decisions would make the code very
unfair.  SCHED_OTHER support will be enabled once we the spu scheduler
knows how to calculcate cpu_context.prio (very soon)

Christoph Hellwig ae7b4c5284 [POWERPC] spu sched: update some comments
