| * [PATCH] powerpc: More via-pmu backlight fixesBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-09-012-50/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The via-pmu backlight code (introduced in 2.6.18) has various design issues causing crashes on machines using it like the old Wallstreet powerbook (Michael, the author, never managed to test on these and I just got my hand on one of those old beasts). This fixes them by no longer trying to hijack the backlight device of the frontmost framebuffer (causing that framebuffer to crash) but having it's own local bits instead. Might look weird but it's better that way on those old machines, at least as a last-minute fix for 2.6.18. We might rework the whole thing later. This patch also changes the way it gets notified of sleep and wakeup in order to properly shut the backlight down on sleep and bring it back on wakeup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The thermal control for the Xserve G5s had a few issues. For one, the way to program the RPM fans speeds into the FCU is different between it and the desktop models, which I didn't figure out until recently, and it was missing a control loop for the slots fan, running it too fast. Both of those problems were causing the machine to be much more noisy than necessary. This patch also changes the fixed value of the slots fan for desktop G5s to 40% instead of 50%. It seems to still have a pretty good airflow that way and is much less noisy. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

| * [PATCH] powerpc: fix SMU driver interrupt mappingBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-07-101-15/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SMU driver tries to map an interrupt from the device-tree before the interrupt controllers in the machine have been enumerated. This doesn't work properly and cause machines like the Quad g5 to fail booting later on when some drivers waits endlessly for an SMU request to complete. This is the second problem preventing boot on the Quad g5. This fixes it and also makes the SMU driver a bit more resilient to not having an interrupt.

| * [PATCH] powerpc: fix trigger handling in the new irq codeBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch slightly reworks the new irq code to fix a small design error. I removed the passing of the trigger to the map() calls entirely, it was not a good idea to have one call do two different things. It also fixes a couple of corner cases. Mapping a linux virtual irq to a physical irq now does only that. Setting the trigger is a different action which has a different call. The main changes are: - I no longer call host->ops->map() for an already mapped irq, I just return the virtual number that was already mapped. It was called before to give an opportunity to change the trigger, but that was causing issues as that could happen while the interrupt was in use by a device, and because of the trigger change, map would potentially muck around with things in a racy way. That was causing much burden on a given's controller implementation of map() to get it right. This is much simpler now. map() is only called on the initial mapping of an irq, meaning that you know that this irq is _not_ being used. You can initialize the hardware if you want (though you don't have to). - Controllers that can handle different type of triggers (level/edge/etc...) now implement the standard irq_chip->set_type() call as defined by the generic code. That means that you can use the standard set_irq_type() to configure an irq line manually if you wish or (though I don't like that interface), pass explicit trigger flags to request_irq() as defined by the generic kernel interfaces. Also, using those interfaces guarantees that your controller set_type callback is called with the descriptor lock held, thus providing locking against activity on the same interrupt (including mask/unmask/etc...) automatically. A result is that, for example, MPIC's own map() implementation calls irq_set_type(NONE) to configure the hardware to the default triggers. - To allow the above, the irq_map array entry for the new mapped interrupt is now set before map() callback is called for the controller. - The irq_create_of_mapping() (also used by irq_of_parse_and_map()) function for mapping interrupts from the device-tree now also call the separate set_irq_type(), and only does so if there is a change in the trigger type. - While I was at it, I changed pci_read_irq_line() (which is the helper I would expect most archs to use in their pcibios_fixup() to get the PCI interrupt routing from the device tree) to also handle a fallback when the DT mapping fails consisting of reading the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN to know wether the device has an interrupt at all, and the the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE to get an interrupt number from the device. That number is then mapped using the default controller, and the trigger is set to level low. That default behaviour works for several platforms that don't have a proper interrupt tree like Pegasos. If it doesn't work for your platform, then either provide a proper interrupt tree from the firmware so that fallback isn't needed, or don't call pci_read_irq_line() - Add back a bit that got dropped by my main rework patch for properly clearing pending IPIs on pSeries when using a kexec Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use itBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-07-035-96/+138
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one. Because there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus), etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later in bisecting). This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the new code now. For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match any device node that isn't a 8259. That works fine on pSeries and avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees. The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node (including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't have a proper interrupt tree.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The 64 bits resource patches did a bit of damage on PowerMac causing a buffer overflow in macio_asic and a warning in a sound driver. The former is fixed by reverting the sprintf of the bus_id to %08x as it was before. The bus_id used for macio devices is always a 32 bits value (macio always sits in 32 bits space) and since it's exposed to userland, the format of the string shouldn't be changed like that anyway.

There is no protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2 We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage classes: "Blocking" chains are always called from a process context and the callout routines are allowed to sleep; "Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and the callout routines are not allowed to sleep. We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in kernel/sys.c. With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to handle these things in their own way.) There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code had to be changed to avoid it.) Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much less frequent that calling a chain. Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder. ATOMIC CHAINS ------------- arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c: powerpc_die_chain arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c: sparc64die_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: die_chain drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c: xaction_notifier_list kernel/panic.c: panic_notifier_list kernel/profile.c: task_free_notifier net/bluetooth/hci_core.c: hci_notifier net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_chain net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c: ip_conntrack_expect_chain net/ipv6/addrconf.c: inet6addr_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_chain net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain BLOCKING CHAINS --------------- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_policy_notifier_list drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c cpufreq_transition_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/adb.c: adb_client_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c sleep_notifier_list drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c wf_client_list drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain kernel/module.c module_notify_list kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list net/core/dev.c netdev_chain net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are, please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems. (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be atomic.)

* | [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-03-283-5/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the windfarm sensor modules can initialize on old machines that don't have full windfarm support like non-dual core desktop G5s. Unfortunately, by doing so, they would trigger a bug in their matching algorithm causing them to attach to the wrong bus, thus triggering issues with the i2c core and breaking the thermal driver. This patch fixes the probing issue (so that they will work when a windfarm port is done to these machines) and also prevents for now windfarm to load at all on these machines that still use therm_pm72 to avoid wasting resources.
