To prepare for future support of Book3E 64-bit PowerPC processors, which use a completely different exception handling, we move that code to a new exceptions-64s.S file. This file is #included from head_64.S due to some of the absolute address requirements which can currently only be fulfilled from within that file.

This patch introduce a new Kconfig option, CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S that represents processors that are compliant with the "classic" (aka "server") variant of the PowerPC architecture. It replaces CONFIG_6xx on 32-bit (though the symbol is still defined for compatibility) and encompass all currently supported 64-bit processors.

Currently, load_up_altivec and give_up_altivec are duplicated in 32-bit and 64-bit. This creates a common implementation that is moved away from head_32.S, head_64.S and misc_64.S and into vector.S, using the same macros we already use for our common implementation of load_up_fpu. I also moved the VSX code over to vector.S though in that case I didn't make it build on 32-bit (yet). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

For some obscure reason, we only set init_bootmem_done after initializing bootmem when NUMA isn't enabled. We even document this next to the declaration of that global in system.h which of course I didn't read before I had to debug why some WIP code wasn't working properly... This patch changes it so that we always set it after bootmem is initialized which should have always been the case... go figure ! Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The MMU context_lock can be taken from switch_mm() while the rq->lock is held. The rq->lock can also be taken from interrupts, thus if we get interrupted in destroy_context() with the context lock held and that interrupt tries to take the rq->lock, there's a possible deadlock scenario with another CPU having the rq->lock and calling switch_mm() which takes our context lock. The fix is to always ensure interrupts are off when taking our context lock. The switch_mm() path is already good so this fixes the destroy_context() path. While at it, turn the context lock into a new style spinlock. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This patch fixes a couple of issues that can happen as a result of steal_context() dropping the context_lock when all possible PIDs are ineligible for stealing (hopefully an extremely hard to hit occurence). This case exposes the possibility of a stale context_mm[] entry to be seen since destroy_context() doesn't clear it and the free map isn't re-tested. It also means steal_context() will not notice a context freed while the lock was help, thus possibly trying to steal a context when a free one was available. This fixes it by always returning to the caller from steal_context when it dropped the lock with a return value that causes the caller to re-samble the number of free contexts, along with properly clearing the context_mm[] array for destroyed contexts.

Reworked by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> This adds block-step support on powerpc, including a PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK request for ptrace. The BookE implementation is tweaked to fire a single step after a block step in order to mimmic the server behaviour.

Added support for the new xps tft controller. The new core has PLB interface support in addition to existing DCR interface. Removed platform device support as both MicroBlaze and PowerPC use device tree. Previously, the dcr interface was assumed to be used in mmio mode, and the register space of the dcr interface was precomputed and stuffed into the device tree. This driver now makes use of the new dcr infrastructure to represent the dcr interface. This enables the dcr interface to be connected directly to a native dcr interface in a clean way. Added compatibility for ml507 dvi core.

It was __devinit, but it is also within a CONFIG_HOTPLUG guarded section of code, so the __devinit does nothing but cause the following warning: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x107a8): Section mismatch in reference from the function pcibios_finish_adding_to_bus() to the function .devinit.text:pcibios_claim_one_bus() The function pcibios_finish_adding_to_bus() references the function __devinit pcibios_claim_one_bus(). This is often because pcibios_finish_adding_to_bus lacks a __devinit annotation or the annotation of pcibios_claim_one_bus is wrong. It is also only (externally) used in arch/powerpc/kernel/of_platform.c which cannot be built as a module so don't export it.

This patch updates the output from /proc/ppc64/lparcfg to display the processor virtualization resource allocations for a shared processor partition.

RTAS event scan has to run across all cpus. Right now we use a kernel thread and set_cpus_allowed but in doing so we wake up the previous cpu unnecessarily. Some ftrace output shows this: previous cpu (2): [002] 7.022331: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] ==> rtasd:194 [120] [002] 7.022338: sched_switch: task rtasd:194 [120] ==> migration/2:9 [0] [002] 7.022344: sched_switch: task migration/2:9 [0] ==> swapper:0 [140] next cpu (3): [003] 7.022345: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] ==> rtasd:194 [120] [003] 7.022371: sched_switch: task rtasd:194 [120] ==> swapper:0 [140] We can use schedule_delayed_work_on and avoid the unnecessary wakeup.

The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there), or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual address space. This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but grew its own fixes. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This reverts commit 33f00dce. While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\ that :-( Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to our custom virtual space allocator. There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time. However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things do exist !) so we can sort that out later.
