This causes i2c-powermac to register i2c devices exposed in the device-tree, enabling new-style probing of devices. Note that we prefix the IDs with "MAC," in order to prevent the generic drivers from matching. This is done on purpose as we only want drivers specifically tested/designed to operate on powermacs to match. This removes the special case we had for the AMS driver, and updates the driver's match table instead. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Add two optimisations to enable_kernel_altivec: - enable_kernel_altivec has already determined if we need to save the previous task's state but we call giveup_altivec in both cases, requiring an extra branch in giveup_altivec. Create giveup_altivec_notask which only turns on the VMX bit in the MSR. - We write the VMX MSR bit each time we call enable_kernel_altivec even it was already set. Check the bit and branch out if we have already set it. The classic case for this is vectored IO where we have to copy multiple buffers to or from userspace. The following testcase was used to confirm this patch improves performance: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c Since the current breakpoint for using VMX in copy_tofrom_user is 4096 bytes, I'm using buffers of 4096 + 1 cacheline (4224) bytes. A benchmark of 16 entry readvs (-s 16): time copy_to_user -l 4224 -s 16 -i 1000000 completes 5.2% faster on a POWER7 PS700.

At the moment system call entry looks like: crclr so ... mfcr r9 ... std r9,_CCR(r1) commit bd19c899 ([POWERPC] system call micro optimisation) put some space between the crclr and mfcr in order to avoid a stall. There is still a stall seen between the mfcr and std. We can avoid the crclr by doing it in a GPR with rlwinm which gives us more room to better schedule the sequence.

The autofs packet size has had a very unfortunate size problem on x86: because the alignment of 'u64' differs in 32-bit and 64-bit modes, and because the packet data was not 8-byte aligned, the size of the autofsv5 packet structure differed between 32-bit and 64-bit modes despite looking otherwise identical (300 vs 304 bytes respectively). We first fixed that up by making the 64-bit compat mode know about this problem in commit a32744d4 ("autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64"), and that made a 32-bit 'systemd' work happily on a 64-bit kernel because everything then worked the same way as on a 32-bit kernel. But it turned out that 'automount' had actually known and worked around this problem in user space, so fixing the kernel to do the proper 32-bit compatibility handling actually *broke* 32-bit automount on a 64-bit kernel, because it knew that the packet sizes were wrong and expected those incorrect sizes. As a result, we ended up reverting that compatibility mode fix, and thus breaking systemd again, in commit fcbf94b9. With both automount and systemd doing a single read() system call, and verifying that they get *exactly* the size they expect but using different sizes, it seemed that fixing one of them inevitably seemed to break the other. At one point, a patch I seriously considered applying from Michael Tokarev did a "strcmp()" to see if it was automount that was doing the operation. Ugly, ugly. However, a prettier solution exists now thanks to the packetized pipe mode. By marking the communication pipe as being packetized (by simply setting the O_DIRECT flag), we can always just write the bigger packet size, and if user-space does a smaller read, it will just get that partial end result and the extra alignment padding will simply be thrown away. This makes both automount and systemd happy, since they now get the size they asked for, and the kernel side of autofs simply no longer needs to care - it could pad out the packet arbitrarily. Of course, if there is some *other* user of autofs (please, please, please tell me it ain't so - and we haven't heard of any) that tries to read the packets with multiple writes, that other user will now be broken - the whole point of the packetized mode is that one system call gets exactly one packet, and you cannot read a packet in pieces.

Linus Torvalds authored
The actual internal pipe implementation is already really about individual packets (called "pipe buffers"), and this simply exposes that as a special packetized mode. When we are in the packetized mode (marked by O_DIRECT as suggested by Alan Cox), a write() on a pipe will not merge the new data with previous writes, so each write will get a pipe buffer of its own. The pipe buffer is then marked with the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET flag, which in turn will tell the reader side to break the read at that boundary (and throw away any partial packet contents that do not fit in the read buffer). End result: as long as you do writes less than PIPE_BUF in size (so that the pipe doesn't have to split them up), you can now treat the pipe as a packet interface, where each read() system call will read one packet at a time. You can just use a sufficiently big read buffer (PIPE_BUF is sufficient, since bigger than that doesn't guarantee atomicity anyway), and the return value of the read() will naturally give you the size of the packet. NOTE! We do not support zero-sized packets, and zero-sized reads and writes to a pipe continue to be no-ops. Also note that big packets will currently be split at write time, but that the size at which that happens is not really specified (except that it's bigger than PIPE_BUF). Currently that limit is the system page size, but we might want to explicitly support bigger packets some day. The main user for this is going to be the autofs packet interface, allowing us to stop having to care so deeply about exact packet sizes (which have had bugs with 32/64-bit compatibility modes). But user space can create packetized pipes with "pipe2(fd, O_DIRECT)", which will fail with an EINVAL on kernels that do not support this interface.

This reverts commit a32744d4. While that commit was technically the right thing to do, and made the x86-64 compat mode work identically to native 32-bit mode (and thus fixing the problem with a 32-bit systemd install on a 64-bit kernel), it turns out that the automount binaries had workarounds for this compat problem. Now, the workarounds are disgusting: doing an "uname()" to find out the architecture of the kernel, and then comparing it for the 64-bit cases and fixing up the size of the read() in automount for those. And they were confused: it's not actually a generic 64-bit issue at all, it's very much tied to just x86-64, which has different alignment for an 'u64' in 64-bit mode than in 32-bit mode. But the end result is that fixing the compat layer actually breaks the case of a 32-bit automount on a x86-64 kernel. There are various approaches to fix this (including just doing a "strcmp()" on current->comm and comparing it to "automount"), but I think that I will do the one that teaches pipes about a special "packet mode", which will allow user space to not have to care too deeply about the padding at the end of the autofs packet. That change will make the compat workaround unnecessary, so let's revert it first, and get automount working again in compat mode. The packetized pipes will then fix autofs for systemd.

Clearing bit 5 of CACHE_MODE_0 is necessary to prevent GPU hangs in OpenGL programs such as Google MapsGL, Google Earth, and gzdoom when using separate stencil buffers. Without it, the GPU tries to use the LRA eviction policy, which isn't supported. This was supposed to be off by default, but seems to be on for many machines. This cannot be done in gen6_init_clock_gating with most of the other workaround bits; the render ring needs to exist. Otherwise, the register write gets dropped on the floor (one printk will show it changed, but a second printk immediately following shows the value reverts to the old one).

Pull build fixes for less mainstream architectures from Paul Gortmaker: "These are fixes for frv(1), blackfin(2), powerpc(1) and xtensa(4). Fortunately the touches are nearly all specific to files just used by the arch in question. The two touches to shared/common files [kernel/irq/debug.h and drivers/pci/Makefile] are trivial to assess as no risk to anyone. Half of them relate to xtensa directly. It was only when I fixed the last xtensa issue that I realized that the arch has been broken for a significant time, and isn't a specific v3.4 regression. So if you wanted, we could leave xtensa lying bleeding in the street for a couple more weeks and queue those for 3.5. But given they are no risk to anyone outside of xtensa, I figured to just leave them in. If you are OK with taking the xtensa fixes, then please pull to get: - one last implicit include uncovered by system.h that is in a file specific to just one powerpc defconfig. (I'd sync'd with BenH). - fix an oversight in the PCI makefile where shared code wasn't being compiled for ARCH=frv - fix a missing include for GPIO in blackfin framebuffer. - audit and tag endif in blackfin ezkit board file, in order to find and fix the misplaced endif masking a block of code. - fix irq/debug.h choice of temporary macro names to be more internal so they don't conflict with names used by xtensa. - fix a reference to an undeclared local var in xtensa's signal.c - fix an implicit bug.h usage in xtensa's asm/io.h uncovered by my removing bug.h from kernel.h - fix xtensa to properly indicate it is using asm-generic/hardirq.h in order to resolve the link error - undefined ack_bad_irq The xtensa still fails final link as my latest binutils does something evil when ld forward-relocates unlikely() blocks, but in theory people who have older/valid toolchains could now use the thing." * 'for-v3.4-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: xtensa: fix build fail on undefined ack_bad_irq blackfin: fix ifdef fustercluck in mach-bf538/boards/ezkit.c blackfin: fix compile error in bfin-lq035q1-fb.c pci: frv architecture needs generic setup-bus infrastructure irq: hide debug macros so they don't collide with others. xtensa: fix build error in xtensa/include/asm/io.h xtensa: fix build failure in xtensa/kernel/signal.c powerpc: fix system.h fallout in sysdev/scom.c [chroma_defconfig]

In xen_restore_fl_direct(), xen_force_evtchn_callback() was being called even if no events were pending. This resulted in (depending on workload) about a 100 times as many xen_version hypercalls as necessary. Fix this by correcting the sense of the conditional jump. This seems to give a significant performance benefit for some workloads. There is some subtle tricksy "..since the check here is trying to check both pending and masked in a single cmpw, but I think this is correct. It will call check_events now only when the combined mask+pending word is 0x0001 (aka unmasked, pending)."

We're spending huge amounts of time on lock contention during end_io processing because we unconditionally assume we are overwriting an existing extent in the file for each IO. This checks to see if we are outside i_size, and if so, it uses a less expensive readonly search of the btree to look for existing extents. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
