* [POWERPC] Donate idle CPU cycles on dedicated partitionsJake Moilanen2007-06-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it (via the HMC). This enables that to work properly on P6. This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the VPA. To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and have the donate bit set in the VPA. Then call H_CEDE. The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to increase the capacity of the shared CPU pool. Also rename the VPA's cpuctls_task_attrs field to a more accurate name. Signed-off-by: Jake Moilanen <moilanen@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* [POWERPC] Implement SLB shadow bufferMichael Neuling2006-08-081-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a shadow buffer for the SLBs and regsiters it with PHYP. Only the bolted SLB entries (top 3) are shadowed. The SLB shadow buffer tells the hypervisor what the kernel needs to have in the SLB for the kernel to be able to function. The hypervisor can use this information to speed up partition context switches. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] Fix sparse parse error in lppaca.hBryan O'Sullivan2006-01-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sparse can't parse a struct definition in include/asm-powerpc/lppaca.h, even though gcc can accept it. The form looks like this: struct __attribute__((whatever)) foo { }; An equivalent that both gcc and sparse can handle is struct foo { } __attribute__((whatever)); This is the only definition of this type in the tree, and fixing it is easier than fixing sparse. Signed-off-by: Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com> [ Side note: fixing sparse wouldn't be hard, but the "attribute at the end" version is the canonical one, and the one that makes sense. So let's just fix the kernel instead. Luc Van Oostenryck already sent out a sparse patch to the sparse mailing list in case anybody cares. -- Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACADavid Gibson2006-01-131-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures. This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca. The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca address to a local variable for no particular reason.

* [PATCH] powerpc: sanitize header files for user space includesArnd Bergmann2006-01-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does not have this yet. This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__ any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when including any of the headers in user space libraries.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Move various ppc64 files with no ppc32 equivalent to powerpcDavid Gibson2005-11-101-0/+131
This patch moves a bunch of files from arch/ppc64 and include/asm-ppc64 which have no equivalents in ppc32 code into arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc. The file affected are: abs_addr.h compat.h lppaca.h paca.h tce.h cpu_setup_power4.S ioctl32.c firmware.c pacaData.c The only changes apart from the move and corresponding Makefile changes are: - #ifndef/#define in includes updated to _ASM_POWERPC_ form - trailing whitespace removed - comments giving full paths removed - pacaData.c renamed paca.c to remove studlyCaps - Misplaced { moved in lppaca.h Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64), built for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc).
