* [POWERPC] Fixup softirq preempt countBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-04-171-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the handling of the preempt count when switching interrupt stacks so that HW interrupt properly get the softirq mask copied over from the previous stack. It also initializes the softirq stack preempt_count to 0 instead of SOFTIRQ_OFFSET, like x86, as __do_softirq() does the increment, and we hit some lockdep checks if we have it twice. That means we do run for a little while off the softirq stack with the preempt-count set to 0, which could be deadly if we try to take a softirq at that point, however we do so with interrupts disabled, so I think we are ok.

* [POWERPC] Initialize paca->current earlierBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-04-172-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we initialize the "current" pointer in the PACA (which is used by the "current" macro in the kernel) before calling setup_system(). That means that early_setup() is called with current still "NULL" which is -not- a good idea. It happens to work so far but breaks with lockdep when early code calls printk. This changes it so that all PACAs are statically initialized with __current pointing to the init task. For non-0 CPUs, this is fixed up before use.

* | [POWERPC] 4xx: Add idle wait support for 44x platformsJerone Young2008-04-162-1/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the cpu_idle loop for 44x platforms to utilize the Wait Enable feature of the CPU. This helps virtulization solutions know when the guest Linux kernel is in an idle state. A command line option called "idle" is also added to allow people to change the idle loop back to the original variation. This is done by setting "idle=spin" on the kernel command line.

* | [POWERPC] mv643xx_eth: Prepare to support multiple silicon blocksDale Farnsworth2008-04-152-28/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mv643xx_eth driver is being modified to support multiple instances of the ethernet silicon block on the same platform. Each block contains a single register bank containing the registers for up to three ports interleaved within that bank. This patch updates the PowerPC OF to platform_device glue code to support multiple silicon blocks, each with up to three ethernet ports. The main difference is that we now allow multiple mv64x60_shared platform_devices to be registered and we provide each port platform_device with a pointer to its associated shared platform_device. The pointer will not be used until the mv643xx_eth driver changes are committed.

* | [POWERPC] Fix handling of unrecoverable SLB miss interruptsPaul Mackerras2008-04-141-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an SLB miss interrupt happens while the RI bit of MSR is zero, we can't just return, because RI being zero indicates that SRR0/SRR1 potentially had live values in them, and the process of taking an interrupt overwrites them. This should never happen, but if it does, we try to print a nice oops message. That doesn't work, however, because the code at unrecov_slb assumes that the MMU has been turned on, but we call it with the MMU off (and have done so since the SLB miss handler was rewritten to run without turning the MMU on) -- except on iSeries, where everything runs with the MMU on. This fixes it by adding the necessary code to turn the MMU on if necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Otherwise we have problems if the user doesn't have an address space setup. Fetching ptrace register is still valid at such a time, and ptrace does not try to access the register window area of the regset. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * | asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_callRoland McGrath2008-04-101-2/+2

The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

Earlier commit 40d6a146629b98d8e322b6f9332b182c7cbff3df added smp_call_function in cpu_idle_wait() to kick cpus that are in tickless idle. Looking at cpu_idle_wait code at that time, code seemed to be over-engineered for a case which is rarely used (while changing idle handler). Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler and start using the new idle handler. It eliminates code in the idle loop to handle cpu_idle_wait. Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This can cause time jumps in the range of hours. This was reported in: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96 and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/31/23 I was able to reproduce the problem with a gettimeofday loop test on a dual core and a quad core machine which both have sychronized TSCs. The TSCs seems not to be perfectly in sync though, but the kernel is not able to detect the slight delta in the sync check. Still there exists an extremly small window where this delta can be observed with a real big time jump. So far I was only able to reproduce this with the vsyscall gettimeofday implementation, but in theory this might be observable with the syscall based version as well. CPU 0 updates the clock source variables under xtime/vyscall lock and CPU1, where the TSC is slighty behind CPU0, is reading the time right after the seqlock was unlocked. The clocksource reference data was updated with the TSC from CPU0 and the value which is read from TSC on CPU1 is less than the reference data. This results in a huge delta value due to the unsigned subtraction of the TSC value and the reference value. This algorithm can not be changed due to the support of wrapping clock sources like pm timer. The huge delta is converted to nanoseconds and added to xtime, which is then observable by the caller. The next gettimeofday call on CPU1 will show the correct time again as now the TSC has advanced above the reference value. To prevent this TSC specific wreckage we need to compare the TSC value against the reference value and return the latter when it is larger than the actual TSC value. I pondered to mark the TSC unstable when the readout is smaller than the reference value, but this would render an otherwise good and fast clocksource unusable without a real good reason.

| * | | x86 ptrace: avoid unnecessary wrmsrRoland McGrath2008-04-031-4/+7

No wrmsr ever needs to be done if noone has ever used block stepping. Without this change, using ptrace on 2.6.25 on an x86 KVM guest will tickle KVM's missing support for the MSR and crash the guest kernel. Though host KVM is the buggy one, this makes for a regression in the guest behavior from 2.6.24->2.6.25 that we can easily avoid. I also corrected some bad whitespace.
