This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note
for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1,
/signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status,
/mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id.
A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to
specify they have extra elf core notes.
A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the
additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry.
A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes
would be written after the existing notes.
The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the
kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via
register_arch_coredump_calls().
A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the
coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the
SPU context for each file read from.

In order to fit with the "don't-run-spus-outside-of-spu_run" model, this
patch starts the isolated-mode loader in spu_run, rather than
spu_create. If spu_run is passed an isolated-mode context that isn't in
isolated mode state, it will run the loader.
This fixes potential races with the isolated SPE app doing a
stop-and-signal before the PPE has called spu_run: bugzilla #29111.
Also (in conjunction with a mambo patch), this addresses #28565, as we
always set the runcntrl register when entering spu_run.
It is up to libspe to ensure that isolated-mode apps are cleaned up
after running to completion - ie, put the app through the "ISOLATE EXIT"
state (see Ch11 of the CBEA).

When fixing spufs to map the 'mem' file backing store cacheable,
I incorrectly set the physical mapping to use both cache-inhibited
and guarded mapping, which resulted in a serious performance

When one of the spufs files is mapped into a process address
space, regular users can use ptrace to attempt accessing
them with access_process_vm(). With the way that the
mappings currently work, this likely causes an oops.
Setting the vm_flags to VM_IO makes sure that ptrace can
not access them but returns an error code. This is not
the perfect solution in case of the local store mapping,
but it fixes the oops in a well-defined way.
Also remove leftover VM_RESERVED flags in spufs. The
VM_RESERVED flag is on it's way out and not checked by
the memory managment code anymore.

We need to check the channel count of the signal notification registers
before reading them, because it can be undefined when the count is
zero. In order to read count and data atomically, we read from the
saved context.
This patch uses spu_acquire_saved() to force a context save before a
/signal1 or /signal2 read. Because of this it is no longer necessary to
have backing_ops and hw_ops versions of this function so they have been
removed.
Regular applications should not rely on reading this register
to be fast, as it's conceptually a write-only file from the PPE
perspective.

This patch implements read only access to
/mbox_info - SPU Write Outbound Mailbox
/ibox_info - SPU Write Outbound Interrupt Mailbox
/wbox_info - SPU Read Inbound Mailbox
These files are used by gdb in order to look into the current mailbox
queues without changing the contents at the same time. They are
not meant for general programming use, since the access requires
a context save and is therefore rather slow.
It would be good to complement this patch with one that adds
write support as well.

This patches changes /npc, /decr, /decr_status, /spu_tag_mask,
/event_mask, /event_status, and /srr0 files to provide output according to
the format string "0x%llx" instead of "%llx".
Before this patch some files used "0x%llx" and other used "%llx" which is
inconsistent and potentially confusing. A user might assume "%llx" numbers
were decimal if they happened to not contain any a-f digits. This change
will break any code cannot tolerate a leading 0x in the file contents. The
only known users of these files are the libspe but there might also be
some scripts which access these files. This risk is deemed acceptable for
future consistency.

Currently, spufs_mbox_read transfers more bytes than requested on a
read. If you ask for four bytes, you get eight. This fixes it to
transfer the largest multiple of four bytes that is less than or equal
to the number you asked for.
Note: one nasty property of this file in spufs is that you can only
read multiples of four bytes in the first place, since there is no way
to atomically put back a few bytes into the hardware register. Thus,
reading less than four bytes returns -EINVAL. Asking for more than
four returns the largest possible multiple of four.

When in isolated mode, SPEs have access to an area of persistent
storage, which is per-SPE. In order for isolated-mode apps to
communicate arbitrary data through this storage, we need to ensure that
isolated physical SPEs can be reused for subsequent applications.
Add a file ("recycle") in a spethread dir to enable isolated-mode
recycling. By writing to this file, the kernel will reload the
isolated-mode loader kernel, allowing a new app to be run on the same
physical SPE.
This requires the spu_acquire_exclusive function to enforce exclusive
access to the SPE while the loader is initialised.

SPU_CREATE_NONSCHED: create a context that is never moved
away from an SPE once it has started running. This flag
can only be used by tasks with the CAP_SYS_NICE capability.
SPU_CREATE_ISOLATED: create a nonschedulable context that
enters isolation mode upon first run. This requires the

This adds an 'object-id' file that the spe library can
use to store a pointer to its ELF object. This was
originally meant for use by oprofile, but is now
also used by the GNU debugger, if available.
In order for oprofile to find the location in an spu-elf
binary where an event counter triggered, we need a way
to identify the binary in the first place.
Unfortunately, that binary itself can be embedded in a
powerpc ELF binary. Since we can assume it is mapped into
the effective address space of the running process,
have that one write the pointer value into a new spufs
file.
When a context switch occurs, pass the user value to
the profiler so that can look at the mapped file (with
some care).

Writing to cntl can be used to stop execution on the
spu and to restart it, reading from cntl gives the
contents of the current status register.
The access is always in ascii, as for most other files.
This was always meant to be there, but we had a little
problem with writing to runctl so it was left out so
far.

Since libspe2 will provide a function that can read/write
multiple mailbox elements at once, the kernel should handle
that efficiently.
read/write on the three mailbox files can now access the
spe context multiple times to operate on any number of
mailbox data elements.
If the spu application keeps writing to its outbound
mailbox, the read call will pick up all the data in a
single system call.
Unfortunately, if the user passes an invalid pointer,
we may lose a mailbox element on read, since we can't
put it back. This probably impossible to solve, if the
user also accesses the mailbox through direct register
access.

This hopefully fixes a long-standing bug in the spu file system.
An spu context comes with local memory that can be either saved
in kernel pages or point directly to a physical SPE.
When mapping the physical SPE, that mapping needs to be cache-inhibited.
For simplicity, we used to map the kernel backing memory that way
too, but unfortunately that was not only inefficient, but also incorrect
because the same page could then be accessed simultaneously through
a cacheable and a cache-inhibited mapping, which is not allowed
by the powerpc specification and in our case caused data inconsistency
for which we did a really ugly workaround in user space.

This patch adds a new "psmap" file to spufs that allows mmap of all of
the problem state mapping of SPEs. It is compatible with 64k pages. In
addition, it removes mmap ability of individual files when using 64k
pages, with the exception of signal1 and signal2 which will both map the
entire 64k page holding both registers. It also removes
CONFIG_SPUFS_MMAP as there is no point in not building mmap support in
spufs.
It goes along a separate patch to libspe implementing usage of that new
file to access problem state registers.
Another patch will follow up to fix races opened up by accessing
the 'runcntl' register directly, which is made possible with this
patch.

For performance analysis, it is often interesting to know
which physical SPE a thread is currently running on, and,
more importantly, if it is running at all.
This patch adds a simple attribute to each SPU directory
with that information.
The attribute is read-only and called 'phys-id'. It contains
an ascii string with the number of the physical SPU (e.g.
"0x5"), or alternatively the string "0xffffffff" (32 bit -1)
when it is not running at all at the time that the file
is read.

This patch is layered on top of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM
and is patterned after direct mapping of LS.
This patch allows mmap() of the following regions:
"mfc", which represents the area from [0x3000 - 0x3fff];
"cntl", which represents the area from [0x4000 - 0x4fff];
"signal1" which begins at offset 0x14000; "signal2" which
begins at offset 0x1c000.
The signal1 & signal2 files may be mmap()'d by regular user
processes. The cntl and mfc file, on the other hand, may
only be accessed if the owning process has CAP_SYS_RAWIO,
because they have the potential to confuse the kernel
with regard to parallel access to the same files with
regular file operations: the kernel always holds a spinlock
when accessing registers in these areas to serialize them,
which can not be guaranteed with user mmaps,

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is the current version of the spu file system, used
for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine.
This release is almost identical to the version for the
2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part
of the Cell BE Linux distribution from
http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/.
The first patch provides all the interfaces for running
spu application, but does not have any support for
debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these
functionalities are added in the subsequent patches.

spufs.
