geode: reflect mfgpt dependency on mfd

2011-08-08T17:36:00+00:00

commit 703f03c896fdbd726b809066ae279df513992f0e upstream.

As stated in drivers/mfd/cs5535-mfd.c, the mfd driver exposes the BARs
which then make the GPIO, MFGPT, ACPI, etc.  all visible to the system.

So the dependencies of the MFGPT stuff have changed, and most people
expect Kconfig to bring in the necessary dependencies.  Without them, the
module fails to load and most people don't understand why because the
details of the rewrite aren't captured anywhere most people who know to
look.

This dependency needs to be reflected in Kconfig.

sgi-xp: incoming XPC channel messages can come in after the channel's partition structures have been torn down

2011-03-21T19:44:19+00:00

commit 09358972bff5ce99de496bbba97c85d417b3c054 upstream.

Under some workloads, some channel messages have been observed being
delayed on the sending side past the point where the receiving side has
been able to tear down its partition structures.

This condition is already detected in xpc_handle_activate_IRQ_uv(), but
that information is not given to xpc_handle_activate_mq_msg_uv().  As a
result, xpc_handle_activate_mq_msg_uv() assumes the structures still exist
and references them, causing a NULL-pointer deref.

sgi-xpc: XPC fails to discover partitions with all nasids above 128

2011-03-21T19:43:47+00:00

commit c22c7aeff69796f46ae0fcec141538e28f50b24e upstream.

UV hardware defines 256 memory protection regions versus the baseline 64
with increasing size for the SN2 ia64.  This was overlooked when XPC was
modified to accomodate both UV and SN2.

Without this patch, a user could reconfigure their existing system and
suddenly disable cross-partition communications with no indication of what
has gone wrong.  It also prevents larger configurations from using
cross-partition communication.

cs5535: CS5535_MFGPT_DEFAULT_IRQ should depend on CS5535_MFGPT

2009-12-17T23:45:30+00:00

It doesn't make much sense to have CS5535_MFGPT_DEFAULT_IRQ show up in
configs that cannot have CS5535_MFGPT.

gru: send cross partition interrupts using the gru

2009-12-16T15:20:17+00:00

GRU Message queue instructions are used to deliver messages to other SSIs
within the numalink domain.  In most cases, a single GRU mesq instruction
will deliver both the message AND an interrupt to notify the other SSI
that a messsage is present.  In some cases, however, the interrupt must be
sent explicitly.

To improve resilency, the GRU driver should send these explicit interrupts
using the GRU to write the remote chipset register.  Current code sends
the interrupt using a cpu instruction to write the chipset register.

gru: improve GRU TLB dropin statistics

2009-12-16T15:20:17+00:00

Update the TLB dropin statistics kept for each GRU context.  Count TLB
dropins separate from the misses - some misses do not result in a TLB
dropin.  Some of the diagnostics need both counts.
