When debugging early boot problems, it's common to sprinkle printk's all over the place. However, on 64-bit powerpc, this can lead to memory corruption if done too early due to the PACA pointer and lockdep core not being initialized. This adds some comments to early_setup() that document when it is safe to do so in order to save time for whoever has to debug that stuff next.

When doing lockdep, I had two patches to initialize paca->_current early, one bogus, and one correct. Unfortunately both got merged as the bad one ended up being part of the main lockdep patch by mistake. This causes memory corruption at boot. This removes the offending code.

Remove #ifdef CONFIG_OF_I2C as this breaks module compilation. Drivers using this header should depend on OF_I2C anyways, so there's no need to make this conditional. Signed-off-by: Jochen Friedrich <jochen@scram.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Changes the cputable so that various CPU families that have an exclusive CONFIG_ option have a more sensible default entry to use if the specific processor hasn't been identified. This makes the kernel more generally useful when booted on an unknown PVR for things like new 4xx variants.

We should not requeue the victim context in find_victim if the owner is not in spu_run. It's first not needed because leaving the context on the spu is an optimization and second is harmful because it means the owner could re-enter spu_run when the context is on the runqueue and trip the BUG_ON in __spu_update_sched_info.

This patch is fixes the sequoia.dts device tree file to use the values defined in the 440Epx data sheet from AMCC. That fixes an issue where some devices, including graphics cards, would not initialize properly because the PCI resource space was not big enough.

This patch adds basic endpoint support to the 4xx PCIe driver. This is done by checking the device_type property of the PCIe device node ("pci" for root-complex and "pci-endpoint" for endpoint configuration). Note: Currently we map a fixed 64MByte window to PLB address 0 (SDRAM). This should probably be configurable via a dts property.

The new 440x6 core used on AMCC 460EX/GT introduces new storage attibure fields to the TLB2 word. Those are: Bit 11 12 13 14 15 WL1 IL1I IL1D IL2I IL2D With these bits the cache (L1 and L2) can be configured in a more flexible way, instruction- and data-cache independently now. The "old" I and W bits are still available and setting these old bits will automically set these new bits too (for backward compatibilty). The current code does not clear these fields resulting in disabling the cache by chance. This patch now makes sure that these new bits are cleared when the TLB2 word is written.

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.

SPU class 0 & 1 exceptions may occur in parallel, so we may end up overwriting csa.dsisr.

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. Signed-off-by: Luke Browning <lukebr@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

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.

There's currently no way to tell if spu_process_callback has returned with the state mutex held, as -EINTR may be returned by either the syscall or the spu_acquire fail case. Instead, just do a non-interruptible mutex_lock here. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

Currently, we update the SPU master run control bit (ie, spu_enable_spu) in spufs_run_spu before we grab the context mutex. This can result in races with other processes accessing this context's resources. This change moves the spu_enable_spu to after we have acquired the context lock.

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. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

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. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

When we issue a MFC purge request, we may inadvertantly clear the suspended status. This change adds the MFC_CNTL_SUSPEND_MASK when we issue a purge request, so that the suspend bit is masked out. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

We may currently lose interrupts during SPE context switch, as we alter the INT_Route register. Because the IIC uses a per-thread priority status, changing the interrupt routing to a different thread means that the IRQ is no longer masked by the priority status, so we end up with two fasteoi IRQ handlers executing for the one irq_desc. The fasteoi handler doesn't handle multiple IRQs, so drops the second one. Fix this by using our own flow handler. This is based on handle_edge_irq, but issues an eoi after IRQs are handled, and doesn't do any mask/unmasking. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

The kernel module loader used to be much too happy to allow loading of modules for the wrong kernel version by default. For example, if you had MODVERSIONS enabled, but tried to load a module with no version info, it would happily load it and taint the kernel - whether it was likely to actually work or not! Generally, such forced module loading should be considered a really really bad idea, so make it conditional on a new config option (MODULE_FORCE_LOAD), and make it default to off. If somebody really wants to force module loads, that's their problem, but we should not encourage it. Especially as it happened to me by mistake (ie regular unversioned Fedora modules getting loaded) causing lots of strange behavior. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
