* [POWERPC] spufs: Add runcntrl read accessorsJeremy Kerr2006-12-041-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds a read accessor for the SPE problem-state run control register. This is required for for applying (userspace) changes made to the run control register while the SPE is stopped - simply asserting the master run control bit is not sufficient. My next patch for isolated-mode setup requires this.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Use SPU master control to prevent wild SPU executionArnd Bergmann2006-12-041-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | When the user changes the runcontrol register, an SPU might be running without a process being attached to it and waiting for events. In order to prevent this, make sure we always disable the priv1 master control when we're not inside of spu_run.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Add /lslr, /dma_info and /proxydma filesDwayne Grant McConnell2006-12-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The /lslr file gives read access to the SPU_LSLR register in hex; 0x3fff for example The /dma_info file provides read access to the SPU Command Queue in a binary format. The /proxydma_info files provides read access access to the Proxy Command Queue in a binary format. The spu_info.h file provides data structures for interpreting the binary format of /dma_info and /proxydma_info.

* [PATCH] spufs: implement mfc access for PPE-side DMAArnd Bergmann2006-03-271-0/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new file called 'mfc' to each spufs directory. The file accepts DMA commands that are a subset of what would be legal DMA commands for problem state register access. Upon reading the file, a bitmask is returned with the completed tag groups set. The file is meant to be used from an abstraction in libspe that is added by a different patch. From the kernel perspective, this means a process can now offload a memory copy from or into an SPE local store without having to run code on the SPE itself. The transfer will only be performed while the SPE is owned by one thread that is waiting in the spu_run system call and the data will be transferred into that thread's address space, independent of which thread started the transfer.

* [PATCH] spufs: fix mailbox pollingArnd Bergmann2006-01-091-0/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Handling mailbox interrupts was broken in multiple respects, the combination of which was hiding the bugs most of the time. - The ibox interrupt mask was open initially even though there are no waiters on a newly created SPU. - Acknowledging the mailbox interrupt did not work because it is level triggered and the mailbox data is never retrieved from inside the interrupt handler. - The interrupt handler delivered interrupts with a disabled mask if another interrupt is triggered for the same class but a different mask. - The poll function did not enable the interrupt if it had not been enabled, so we might run into the poll timeout if none of the other bugs saved us and no signal was delivered. We probably still have a similar problem with blocking read/write on mailbox files, but that will result in extra wakeup in the worst case, not in incorrect behaviour.

* [PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability.Arnd Bergmann2006-01-091-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes it easier to preempt an SPU context by having the scheduler hold ctx->state_sema for much shorter periods of time. As part of this restructuring, the control logic for the "run" operation is moved from arch/ppc64/kernel/spu_base.c to fs/spufs/file.c. Of course the base retains "bottom half" handlers for class{0,1} irqs. The new run loop will re-acquire an SPU if preempted.

* [PATCH] spufs: cooperative scheduler supportArnd Bergmann2006-01-091-0/+252
This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the system. Currently, there is no support for preempting a running SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the owning thread or by sending a signal to it. This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore to read-only.
