powerpc: TIF_ABI_PENDING bit removal

2010-04-01T22:55:57+00:00

commit 94f28da8409c6059135e89ac64a0839993124155 upstream.

Here are the powerpc bits to remove TIF_ABI_PENDING now that
set_personality() is called at the appropriate place in exec.

powerpc: Fix DEBUG_HIGHMEM build break from d4515646699

2009-12-08T18:21:10+00:00

commit e8105903d78c81119754a42926951d9d17e191ba upstream.

Code was added to mm/higmem.c that depends on several
kmap types that powerpc does not support.  We add dummy
invalid definitions for KM_NMI, KM_NM_PTE, and KM_IRQ_PTE.

According to list discussion, this fix should not be needed
anymore starting with 2.6.33.  The code is commented to this
effect so hopefully we will remember to remove this.

powerpc: Fix incorrect setting of __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL

2009-10-05T16:33:06+00:00

[I'm going to fix upstream differently, by having all CPU types
actually support _PAGE_SPECIAL, but I prefer the simple and obvious
fix for -stable. -- Ben]

The test that decides whether to define __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL on
powerpc is bogus and will end up always defining it, even when
_PAGE_SPECIAL is not supported (in which case it's 0) such as on
8xx or 40x processors.

powerpc/pseries: Fix to handle slb resize across migration

2009-09-24T15:44:12+00:00

commit 46db2f86a3b2a94e0b33e0b4548fb7b7b6bdff66 upstream.

The SLB can change sizes across a live migration, which was not
being handled, resulting in possible machine crashes during
migration if migrating to a machine which has a smaller max SLB
size than the source machine. Fix this by first reducing the
SLB size to the minimum possible value, which is 32, prior to
migration. Then during the device tree update which occurs after
migration, we make the call to ensure the SLB gets updated. Also
add the slb_size to the lparcfg output so that the migration
tools can check to make sure the kernel has this capability
before allowing migration in scenarios where the SLB size will change.

powerpc: Fix bug where perf_counters breaks oprofile

2009-09-24T15:43:56+00:00

commit a6dbf93a2ad853585409e715eb96dca9177e3c39 upstream.

Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries
machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile
will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next
time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter
won't count anything.

Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem:
- oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls
  pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want
  to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca.
  This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore
  the PMU config.
- The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly
  as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear
  when it finishes.
- oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs,
  which does nothing because it has already been called.  In particular
  it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag.

This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set
the "PMU in use" flag.  It makes the perf_counter code call
ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function
directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller.

This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it
isn't defined anywhere.

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()

2009-07-27T19:10:38+00:00

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()

Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.

Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.

The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

sched: INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT

2009-07-10T21:24:05+00:00

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.

Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.

The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.

powerpc: Fix spin_event_timeout() to be robust over context switches

2009-07-08T03:50:24+00:00

Current implementation of spin_event_timeout can be interrupted by an
IRQ or context switch after testing the condition, but before checking
the timeout.  This can cause the loop to report a timeout when the
condition actually became true in the middle.

This patch adds one final check of the condition upon exit of the loop
if the last test of the condition was still false.
