The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which is wrong. The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias or similar to a full path name to the console device. Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a colon at the end of the path. The option area is used to specify which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a device node drives multiple ports. 'a' is assumed if the option specification is missing. This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator. The 'output-device' property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'. Instead we saw it as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console. The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too. Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report. Signed-off-by: -

This basically reverts commit 4e44f349, while waiting for it to be re-done more completely. There are cases of people mixing "time()" with higher-resolution time sources, and we need to take the nanosecond offsets into account. Ingo has a patch that does that, but it's still under some discussion. In the meantime, just revert back to the old simple situation of just doing the whole exact timesource calculations. But rather than using do_gettimeofday(), use the internal nanosecond resolution getnstimeofday(), which at least avoids one unnecessary conversion (since we really don't care about whether the fractional seconds are nanoseconds or microseconds - we'll just throw them away).

This sorts out the various lists and related locks in the spu code. In detail: - the per-node free_spus and active_list are gone. Instead struct spu gained an alloc_state member telling whether the spu is free or not - the per-node spus array is now locked by a per-node mutex, which takes over from the global spu_lock and the per-node active_mutex - the spu_alloc* and spu_free function are gone as the state change is now done inline in the spufs code. This allows some more sharing of code for the affinity vs normal case and more efficient locking - some little refactoring in the affinity code for this locking scheme Signed-off-by:

From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com> This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c to add in the SPU profiling capabilities. In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code. Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data structures. Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn). Check pointer returned from kzalloc. Eliminated unnecessary cast. Better error handling and cleanup in the related area. 64-bit unsigned long parameter was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to unsigned long. Signed-off-by:

This patch links spus according to their physical position using information provided by the firmware through a special vicinity device-tree property. This property is present in current version of Malta firmware. Example of vicinity properties for a node in Malta: Node: Vicinity property contains phandles of: spe@0 [ spe@100000 , mic-tm@50a000 ] spe@100000 [ spe@0 , spe@200000 ] spe@200000 [ spe@100000 , spe@300000 ] spe@300000 [ spe@200000 , bif0@512000 ] spe@80000 [ spe@180000 , mic-tm@50a000 ] spe@180000 [ spe@80000 , spe@280000 ] spe@280000 [ spe@180000 , spe@380000 ] spe@380000 [ spe@280000 , bif0@512000 ] Only spe@* have a vicinity property (e.g., bif0@512000 and mic-tm@50a000 do not have it).

This patch makes the scheduller honor affinity information for each context being scheduled. If the context has no affinity information, behaviour is unchanged. If there are affinity information, context is schedulled to be run on the exact spu recommended by the affinity placement algorithm. Signed-off-by:

This patch provides the spu affinity placement logic for the spufs scheduler. Each time a gang is going to be scheduled, the placement of a reference context is defined. The placement of all other contexts with affinity from the gang is defined based on this reference context location and on a precomputed displacement offset. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support for additional flags at spu_create, which relate to the establishment of affinity between contexts and contexts to memory. A fourth, optional, parameter is supported. This parameter represent a affinity neighbor of the context being created, and is used when defining SPU-SPU affinity. Affinity is represented as a doubly linked list of spu_contexts. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds affinity data to each spu instance. A doubly linked list is created, meant to connect the spus in the physical order they are placed in the BE. SPUs near to memory should be marked as having memory affinity. Adjustments of the fields acording to FW properties is done in separate patches, one for CPBW, one for Malta (patch for Malta under testing). Signed-off-by:

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) However having this more general structure can be useful for other functionalities, concentrating per-cbe statistics / data.

The decr_status in the LSCSA is valid only in the sequence of context restore. Thus, it's nonsense to read and/or write it through spufs. This patch changes decr_status node to access MFC_CNTL[Ds] in the CSA. Signed-off-by:
-
Masato Noguchi authored
The decr_status in the LSCSA is confusedly used as two meanings: * SPU decrementer was running * SPU decrementer was wrapped as a result of adjust and the code to set decr_status is missing. This patch fixes these problems by using the decr_status argument as a set of flags. This requires a rebuild of the shipped spu_restore code. Signed-off-by:

The following steps are not needed in the SPE context save/restore paths: Save Step 12: save_mfc_decr() save suspend_time to CSA (It will be done by step 14) save ch 7 (decrementer value will be saved in LSCSA by spe-side step 10) Restore Step 59: restore_ch_part1() restore ch 1 (it will be done by spe-side step 15) This change removes the unnecessary steps.

Currently a process is removed from the physical spu when spu_acquire_saved is saved but never put back. This patch adds a new spu_release_saved that is to be paired with spu_acquire_saved and put the process back if it has been in RUNNABLE state before. Niether Jeremy not be are entirely happy about this exact patch because it adds another spu_activate call outside of the owner thread, but I feel this is the best short-term fix we can come up with.

This patch exports per-context statistics in spufs as long as spu statistics in sysfs. It was formed by merging: "spufs: add spu stats in sysfs" From: Christoph Hellwig "spufs: add stat file to spufs" From: Christoph Hellwig "spufs: fix libassist accounting" From: Jeremy Kerr "spusched: fix spu utilization statistics" From: Luke Browning And some adjustments by myself, after suggestions on cbe-oss-dev. Having separate patches was making the review process harder than it should, as we end up integrating spus and ctx statistics accounting much more than it was on the first implementation.

In 6cbf93960e64f313f6e247cbca7afaa50e3ee2c we added a WARN_ON for calling spu_deactivate on contexts created with the SPU_CREATE_NOSCHED flag. However, all NOSCHED contexts will need to be deactivated when the context is destroyed, so this gives a spurious warning when any NOSCHED context is closed. This change removes the WARN_ON.

This patch adds support for the setup and decoding of MSIs on Axon-based Cell systems, using the MSIC mechanism. This involves setting up an area of BE memory which the Axon then uses as a FIFO for MSI messages. When one or more MSIs are decoded by the MSIC we receive an interrupt on the MPIC, and the MSI messages are written into the FIFO. At the moment we use a 64KB FIFO, one per MSIC/BE. Signed-off-by:

The Axon bridge chip used on new Cell/B.E. based blade servers comes with a DDR2 memory controller that can be used to attach cheap memory modules, as opposed to the high-speed XDR memory that is used by the CPU itself. Since the memory controller does not participate in the cache coherency protocol, we can not use the memory direcly for Linux applications, but by providing a block device it can be used for swap space, temporary file storage and through the use of the direct_access block device operation for mapping into user addresses, when it is mounted with an appropriate file system.

The platforms missing the "cpus" property in the "be" node are mono-Cell platforms such as CAB or Getaway. Therefore it is possible to assume that if there is no "cpus" properties under the "be" node then we can safely return the "device node" without more checking. This is a bit hacky but ... it allows it to work on these platforms. Signed-off-by:

This patch reorganizes the code of the driver into three files. Two cbe_cpufreq_pmi.c and cbe_cpufreq_pervasive.c care about hardware. cbe_cpufreq.c contains the logic. There is no changed behaviour, except that the PMI related function is now located in a seperate module cbe_cpufreq_pmi. This module will be required by cbe_cpufreq, if CONFIG_CBE_CPUFREQ_PMI has been set. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes the initialization of the cbe_cpufreq driver. The code that initializes the PMI related functions was called per cpu: * registering cpufreq notifier block * registering a pmi handler This ends in a bug that the notifier block gets called in an endless loop. The initialization code is being put to the module init code path by this patch. This way it only gets called once. Signed-off-by:
