49e16b7 powerpc: time-of-day fixes for 32-bit CHRP systems This makes 32-bit CHRP systems use the RTAS time-of-day routines if available. It fixes a bug in the RTAS time-of-day routines where they were storing a 64-bit timebase value in an unsigned long by making those variables u64. Also, the direct-access time-of-day routines had the wrong convention for the month and year in the struct rtc_time. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 18 November 2005, 04:52:38 UTC
6146eed powerpc: Fix compile error on pSeries arising from delay.h changes pseries_dedicated_idle() was using __get_tb which used to be defined in asm/delay.h. Change it to use get_tb from asm/time.h, which is in fact exactly the same thing. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 18 November 2005, 04:47:18 UTC
437a58d powerpc: Move remaining .c files from arch/ppc64 to arch/powerpc This also deletes the now-unused Makefiles under arch/ppc64. Both of the files moved over could use some merging, but for now I have moved them as-is and arranged for them to be used only in 64-bit kernels. For 32-bit kernels we still use arch/ppc/kernel/idle.c and drivers/char/generic_nvram.c as before. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 18 November 2005, 04:43:34 UTC
f62859b [PATCH] Remove SPAN_OTHER_NODES config definition The config option SPAN_OTHER_NODES was created so that we could make pSeries numa layouts work within the DISCONTIG memory model. Now that DISCONTIG has been replaced by SPARSEMEM, we can eliminate this option. I'll be sending a separate patch to Andrew to remove the arch independent code as pSeries was the only arch that needed this.

5daf907 [PATCH] powerpc: merge align.c This patch merges align.c, the result isn't quite what was in ppc64 nor what was in ppc32 :) It should implement all the functionalities of both though. Kumar, since you played with that in the past, I suppose you have some test cases for verifying that it works properly before I dig out the 601 machine ? :) Since it's likely that I won't be able to test all scenario, code inspection is much welcome.

6defa38 powerpc: Fix delay functions for 601 processors My earlier merge of delay.h introduced a timebase-based udelay for 32-bit machines but also broke the 601, which doesn't have the timebase register. This fixes it by using the 601's RTC register on the 601, and also moves __delay() and udelay() to be out-of-line in arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c. These functions aren't really performance critical, after all. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 18 November 2005, 03:08:12 UTC

5d66da3 [PATCH] powerpc: Make the vDSO functions set error code (#2) The vDSO functions should have the same calling convention as a syscall. Unfortunately, they currently don't set the cr0.so bit which is used to indicate an error. This patch makes them clear this bit unconditionally since all functions currently succeed. The syscall fallback done by some of them will eventually override this if the syscall fails. This also changes the symbol version of all vdso exports to make sure glibc can differenciate between old and fixed calls for existing ones like __kernel_gettimeofday.

c0ce5c5 [PATCH] PowerBook 6,1: headphone not detected after suspend ever since suspend to disk works I had the problem that headphone (un)plugging doesn't get detected properly anymore after the first resume. Reloading the module worked around this ever since, however the real cause of the problem was that after a resume the driver only got interrupts on "unplug" not on "plug". Reactivating the headphone status interrupt in tumbler_resume fixes this. This shouldn't cause any trouble with software suspend, but it would be nice if somebody could confirm this: Signed-off-by: Guido Guenther <agx@sigxcpu.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 16 November 2005, 02:51:50 UTC
b5166cc [PATCH] powerpc: pci_64 fixes & cleanups I discovered that in some cases (PowerMac for example) we wouldn't properly map the PCI IO space on recent kernels. In addition, the code for initializing PCI host bridges was scattered all over the place with some duplication between platforms. This patch fixes the problem and does a small cleanup by creating a pcibios_alloc_controller() in pci_64.c that is similar to the one in pci_32.c (just takes an additional device node argument) that takes care of all the grunt allocation and initialisation work. It should work for both boot time and dynamically allocated PHBs.

eb07d96 [PATCH] ppc32 8xx: update_mmu_cache() needs unconditional tlbie Currently 8xx fails to boot due to endless pagefaults. Seems the bug is exposed by the change which avoids flushing the TLB when not necessary (in case the pte has not changed), introduced recently: __handle_mm_fault(): entry = pte_mkyoung(entry); if (!pte_same(old_entry, entry)) { ptep_set_access_flags(vma, address, pte, entry, write_access); update_mmu_cache(vma, address, entry); lazy_mmu_prot_update(entry); } else { /* * This is needed only for protection faults but the arch code * is not yet telling us if this is a protection fault or not. * This still avoids useless tlb flushes for .text page faults * with threads. */ if (write_access) flush_tlb_page(vma, address); } The "update_mmu_cache()" call was unconditional before, which caused the TLB to be flushed by: if (pfn_valid(pfn)) { struct page *page = pfn_to_page(pfn); if (!PageReserved(page) && !test_bit(PG_arch_1, &page->flags)) { if (vma->vm_mm == current->active_mm) { #ifdef CONFIG_8xx /* On 8xx, cache control instructions (particularly * "dcbst" from flush_dcache_icache) fault as write * operation if there is an unpopulated TLB entry * for the address in question. To workaround that, * we invalidate the TLB here, thus avoiding dcbst * misbehaviour. */ _tlbie(address); #endif __flush_dcache_icache((void *) address); } else flush_dcache_icache_page(page); set_bit(PG_arch_1, &page->flags); } Which worked to due to pure luck: PG_arch_1 was always unset before, but now it isnt. The root of the problem are the changes against the 8xx TLB handlers introduced during v2.6. What happens is the TLBMiss handlers load the zeroed pte into the TLB, causing the TLBError handler to be invoked (thats two TLB faults per pagefault), which then jumps to the generic MM code to setup the pte. The bug is that the zeroed TLB is not invalidated (the same reason for the "dcbst" misbehaviour), resulting in infinite TLBError faults. The "two exception" approach requires a TLB flush (to nuke the zeroed TLB) at each PTE update for correct behaviour: Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <marcelo.tosatti@cyclades.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> 16 November 2005, 02:28:22 UTC

fb6d73d [PATCH] powerpc: Fix sparsemem with memory holes [was Re: ppc64 oops..] This patch should fix the crashes we have been seeing on 64-bit powerpc systems with a memory hole when sparsemem is enabled. I'd appreciate it if people who know more about NUMA and sparsemem than me could look over it. There were two bugs. The first was that if NUMA was enabled but there was no NUMA information for the machine, the setup_nonnuma() function was adding a single region, assuming memory was contiguous. The second was that the loops in mem_init() and show_mem() assumed that all pages within the span of a pgdat were valid (had a valid struct page). I also fixed the incorrect setting of num_physpages that Mike Kravetz pointed out.

1e185b9 [PATCH] ia64: cpu_idle performance bug fix Our performance validation on 2.6.15-rc1 caught a disastrous performance regression on ia64 with netperf (-98%) and volanomark (-58%) compares to previous kernel version 2.6.14-git7. See the following chart (result group 1 & 2). http://kernel-perf.sourceforge.net/results.machine_id=26.html We have root caused it to commit 64c7c8f88559624abdbe12b5da6502e8879f8d28 This changeset broke the ia64 task resched notification. In sched.c:resched_task(), a reschedule IPI is conditioned upon TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG. However, the above changeset unconditionally set the polling thread flag for idle tasks regardless whether pal_halt_light is in use or not. As a result, resched IPI is not sent from resched_task(). And since the default behavior on ia64 is to use pal_halt_light, we end up delaying the rescheduling task until next timer tick, and thus cause the performance regression. This fixes the performance bug. I'm glad our performance suite is turning up bad performance bug like this in time.

9e43e1b [PATCH] x86_64: Remove CONFIG_CHECKING and add command line option for pagefault tracing CONFIG_CHECKING covered some debugging code used in the early times of the port. But it wasn't even SMP safe for quite some time and the bugs it checked for seem to be gone. This patch removes all the code to verify GS at kernel entry. There haven't been any new bugs in this area for a long time. Previously it also covered the sysctl for the page fault tracing. That didn't make much sense because that code was unconditionally compiled in. I made that a boot option now because it is typically only useful at boot.

ffd10a2 [PATCH] x86_64: Make node boundaries consistent The current x86_64 NUMA memory code is inconsequent when it comes to node memory ranges. The exact behaviour varies depending on which config option that is used. setup_node_bootmem() has start and end as arguments and these are used to calculate the size of the node like this: (end - start). This is all fine if end is pointing to the first non-available byte. The problem is that the current x86_64 code sometimes treats it as the last present byte and sometimes as the first non-available byte. The result is that some configurations might lose a page at the end of the range. This patch tries to fix CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA, CONFIG_K8_NUMA and CONFIG_NUMA_EMU so they all treat the end variable as the first non-available byte. This is the same way as the single node code. The patch is boot tested on dual x86_64 hardware with the above configurations, but maybe the removed code is needed as some workaround?

b0bd35e [PATCH] x86_64: Make ACPI NUMA and NUMA emulation peers of K8_NUMA in Kconfig On x86_64 arches, there is no way to choose ACPI_NUMA without having to choose K8_NUMA. CONFIG_K8_NUMA is not needed for Intel EM64T NUMA boxes. It also looks odd if you have to select ACPI_NUMA from the power management menu. This patch fixes those oddities. Patch does the following: 1. Makes NUMA a config option like other arches 2. Makes topology detection options like K8_NUMA dependent on NUMA 3. Choosing ACPI NUMA detection can be done from the standard "Processor type and features" menu AK: I fixed up the dependencies and changed the help texts a bit on top of Kiran's patch.

efbbdce [PATCH] x86_64: Use common sys_time64 Keeping this function does not makes sense because it's a copied (and buggy) copy of sys_time. The only difference is that now.tv_sec (which is a time_t, i.e. a 64-bit long) is copied (and truncated) into a int (32-bit). The prototype is the same (they both take a long __user *), so let's drop this and redirect it to sys_time (and make sure it exists by defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME). Only disadvantage is that the sys_stime definition is also compiled (may be fixed if needed by adding a separate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_STIME macro, and defining it for all arch's defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME except x86_64).

420f8f6 [PATCH] x86_64: New heuristics to find out hotpluggable CPUs. With a NR_CPUS==128 kernel with CPU hotplug enabled we would waste 4MB on per CPU data of all possible CPUs. The reason was that HOTPLUG always set up possible map to NR_CPUS cpus and then we need to allocate that much (each per CPU data is roughly ~32k now) The underlying problem is that ACPI didn't tell us how many hotplug CPUs the platform supports. So the old code just assumed all, which would lead to this memory wastage. This implements some new heuristics: - If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in the ACPI/mptables assume they can be enabled later (this is bending the ACPI specification a bit, but seems like a obvious extension) - The user can overwrite it with a new additionals_cpus=NUM option - Otherwise use half of the available CPUs or 2, whatever is more.
