There are several tricky races involved with growing the TSB. So just use base-size TSBs for user contexts and we can revisit enabling this later. One part of the SMP problems is that tsb_context_switch() can see partially updated TSB configuration state if tsb_grow() is running in parallel. That's easily solved with a seqlock taken as a writer by tsb_grow() and taken as a reader to capture all the TSB config state in tsb_context_switch(). Then there is flush_tsb_user() running in parallel with a tsb_grow(). In theory we could take the seqlock as a reader there too, and just resample the TSB pointer and reflush but that looks really ugly. Lastly, I believe there is a case with threads that results in a TSB entry lock bit being set spuriously which will cause the next access to that TSB entry to wedge the cpu (since the TSB entry lock bit will never clear). It's either copy_tsb() or some bug elsewhere in the TSB assembly. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The are distrupting, which by the sparc v9 definition means they can only occur when interrupts are enabled in the %pstate register. This never occurs in any of the trap handling code running at trap levels > 0. So just mark it as an unexpected trap. This allows us to kill off the cee_stuff member of struct thread_info.

This way we don't need to lock the TSB into the TLB. The trick is that every TSB load/store is registered into a special instruction patch section. The default uses virtual addresses, and the patch instructions use physical address load/stores. We can't do this on all chips because only cheetah+ and later have the physical variant of the atomic quad load. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If we are returning back to kernel mode, %g4 could be live (for example, in the case where we window spill in the etrap code). So do not change it's value if going back to kernel. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Since we use %g5 itself as a temporary, it can get clobbered if we take an interrupt mid-stream and thus cause end up with the final %g5 value too early as a result of rtrap processing. Set %g5 at the very end, atomically, to avoid this problem. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Some of the trap code was still assuming that alternate global %g6 was hard coded with current_thread_info(). Let's just consistently flush at KERNBASE when we need a pipeline synchronization. That's locked into the TLB and will always work. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This also cleans up tsb_context_switch(). The assembler routine is now __tsb_context_switch() and the former is an inline function that picks out the bits from the mm_struct and passes it into the assembler code as arguments. setup_tsb_parms() computes the locked TLB entry to map the TSB. Later when we support using the physical address quad load instructions of Cheetah+ and later, we'll simply use the physical address for the TSB register value and set the map virtual and PTE both to zero.

UltraSPARC has special sets of global registers which are switched to for certain trap types. There is one set for MMU related traps, one set of Interrupt Vector processing, and another set (called the Alternate globals) for all other trap types. For what seems like forever we've hard coded the values in some of these trap registers. Some examples include: 1) Interrupt Vector global %g6 holds current processors interrupt work struct where received interrupts are managed for IRQ handler dispatch. 2) MMU global %g7 holds the base of the page tables of the currently active address space. 3) Alternate global %g6 held the current_thread_info() value. Such hardcoding has resulted in some serious issues in many areas. There are some code sequences where having another register available would help clean up the implementation. Taking traps such as cross-calls from the OBP firmware requires some trick code sequences wherein we have to save away and restore all of the special sets of global registers when we enter/exit OBP. We were also using the IMMU TSB register on SMP to hold the per-cpu area base address, which doesn't work any longer now that we actually use the TSB facility of the cpu. The implementation is pretty straight forward. One tricky bit is getting the current processor ID as that is different on different cpu variants. We use a stub with a fancy calling convention which we patch at boot time. The calling convention is that the stub is branched to and the (PC - 4) to return to is in register %g1. The cpu number is left in %g6. This stub can be invoked by using the __GET_CPUID macro. We use an array of per-cpu trap state to store the current thread and physical address of the current address space's page tables. The TRAP_LOAD_THREAD_REG loads %g6 with the current thread from this table, it uses __GET_CPUID and also clobbers %g1. TRAP_LOAD_IRQ_WORK is used by the interrupt vector processing to load the current processor's IRQ software state into %g6. It also uses __GET_CPUID and clobbers %g1. Finally, TRAP_LOAD_PGD_PHYS loads the physical address base of the current address space's page tables into %g7, it clobbers %g1 and uses __GET_CPUID. Many refinements are possible, as well as some tuning, with this stuff in place. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We now use the TSB hardware assist features of the UltraSPARC MMUs. SMP is currently knowingly broken, we need to find another place to store the per-cpu base pointers. We hid them away in the TSB base register, and that obviously will not work any more :-) Another known broken case is non-8KB base page size. Also noticed that flush_tlb_all() is not referenced anywhere, only the internal __flush_tlb_all() (local cpu only) is used by the sparc64 port, so we can get rid of flush_tlb_all(). The kernel gets it's own 8KB TSB (swapper_tsb) and each address space gets it's own private 8K TSB. Later we can add code to dynamically increase the size of per-process TSB as the RSS grows. An 8KB TSB is good enough for up to about a 4MB RSS, after which the TSB starts to incur many capacity and conflict misses. We even accumulate OBP translations into the kernel TSB. Another area for refinement is large page size support. We could use a secondary address space TSB to handle those. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and 5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device. For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind the 5714. All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround. Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing the patch. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3 (or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet. Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported AX.25 dialects. The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.

VIDEO_CX88_ALSA should not be between VIDEO_CX88_DVB and VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS When cx88-alsa was added to cx88/Kconfig, it was added in between VIDEO_CX88_DVB and VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS. This caused undesireable effects to the appearance of the menu options in menuconfig. This fix reorders cx88-alsa and cx88-dvb in Kconfig, to match saa7134, and restore the correct menuconfig appearance.

From Dave Johnson <djohnson+linuxmips@sw.starentnetworks.com>: sb1250_gettimeoffset() simply reads the current cpu 0 timer remaining value, however once this counter reaches 0 and the interrupt is raised, it immediately resets and begins to count down again. If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value (or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump forward 1ms. Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at 1Mhz with a full 23bit counter. This eliminated the custom do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic fixed_rate_gettimeoffset() using mips_hpt_*() and timerhi/timerlo.
