perf_counter: powerpc: Add processor back-end for MPC7450 family

2009-06-18T09:11:46+00:00

This adds support for the performance monitor hardware on the
MPC7450 family of processors (7450, 7451, 7455, 7447/7457, 7447A,
7448), used in the later Apple G4 powermacs/powerbooks and other
machines.  These machines have 6 hardware counters with a unique
set of events which can be counted on each counter, with some
events being available on multiple counters.

Raw event codes for these processors are (PMC << 8) + PMCSEL.
If PMC is non-zero then the event is that selected by the given
PMCSEL value for that PMC (hardware counter).  If PMC is zero
then the event selected is one of the low-numbered ones that are
common to several PMCs.  In this case PMCSEL must be <= 22 and
the event is what that PMCSEL value would select on PMC1 (but
it may be placed any other PMC that has the same event for that
PMCSEL value).

For events that count cycles or occurrences that exceed a threshold,
the threshold requested can be specified in the 0x3f000 bits of the
raw event codes.  If the event uses the threshold multiplier bit
and that bit should be set, that is indicated with the 0x40000 bit
of the raw event code.

This fills in some of the generic cache events.  Unfortunately there
are quite a few blank spaces in the table, partly because these
processors tend to count cache hits rather than cache accesses.

perf_counter: powerpc: Enable use of software counters on 32-bit powerpc

2009-06-18T09:11:44+00:00

This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc.  Since we
don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet,
only software counters can be used.

Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as
64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of
set_perf_counter_pending().  This needs to arrange for
perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled.
Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit
set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the
decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending
in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already
pending).  When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be
called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending().
We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call
perf_counter_do_pending() or not.

This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT,
which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU
support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the
powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.

powerpc: Add configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc

2009-06-16T04:15:45+00:00

Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.

The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.

The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.

The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.

It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

powerpc: Only build prom_init.o when CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE=y

2009-06-15T03:27:36+00:00

Commit 28794d34 ("powerpc/kconfig: Kill PPC_MULTIPLATFORM"), added
CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE to control the buliding of prom_init.o

However the Makefile still unconditionally builds prom_init_check,
the script that checks prom_init.o for symbol usage, and so in turn
prom_init.o is still always being built. (it's not linked though)

So surround all the prom_init_check logic with an ifeq block testing
if CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE is set.

perf_counters: powerpc: Add support for POWER7 processors

2009-06-11T14:48:37+00:00

This adds the back-end for the PMU on POWER7 processors.  POWER7
has 4 fully-programmable counters and two fixed-function counters
(which do respect the freeze conditions, can generate interrupts,
and are writable, unlike PMC5/6 on POWER5+/6).

powerpc: Add support for swiotlb on 32-bit

2009-06-09T06:49:18+00:00

This patch includes the basic infrastructure to use swiotlb
bounce buffering on 32-bit powerpc.  It is not yet enabled on
any platforms.  Probably the most interesting bit is the
addition of addr_needs_map to dma_ops - we need this as
a dma_op because the decision of whether or not an addr
can be mapped by a device is device-specific.

powerpc: Move VMX and VSX asm code to vector.S

2009-06-09T06:46:25+00:00

Currently, load_up_altivec and give_up_altivec are duplicated
in 32-bit and 64-bit. This creates a common implementation that
is moved away from head_32.S, head_64.S and misc_64.S and into
vector.S, using the same macros we already use for our common
implementation of load_up_fpu.

I also moved the VSX code over to vector.S though in that case
I didn't make it build on 32-bit (yet).
