generic debug pagealloc: build fix

2009-04-03T02:04:48+00:00

This fixes a build failure with generic debug pagealloc:

  mm/debug-pagealloc.c: In function 'set_page_poison':
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c:8: error: 'struct page' has no member named 'debug_flags'
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c: In function 'clear_page_poison':

  mm/debug-pagealloc.c: In function 'page_poison':

  mm/debug-pagealloc.c: At top level:

  include/linux/mm.h:1278: error: previous definition of 'kernel_map_pages' was here
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c: In function 'kernel_map_pages':
  mm/debug-pagealloc.c:122: error: 'debug_pagealloc_enabled' undeclared (first use in this function)

by fixing

 - debug_flags should be in struct page
 - define DEBUG_PAGEALLOC config option for all architectures

generic debug pagealloc

2009-04-01T15:59:13+00:00

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390.  This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().

This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

powerpc/kconfig: Kill PPC_MULTIPLATFORM

2009-03-11T06:11:35+00:00

CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is a remain of the pre-powerpc days and isn't
really meaningful anymore. It was basically equivalent to PPC64 || 6xx.

This removes it along with the following changes:

 - 32-bit platforms that relied on PPC32 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now rely
   on 6xx which is what they want anyway.

 - A new symbol, PPC_BOOK3S, is defined that represent compliance with
   the "Server" variant of the architecture. This is set when either 6xx
   or PPC64 is set and open the door for future BOOK3E 64-bit.

 - 64-bit platforms that relied on PPC64 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now use
   PPC64 && PPC_BOOK3S

 - A separate and selectable CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE option is now
   used to control the use of prom_init.c

powerpc: Allow the max stack trace depth to be configured

2008-12-03T09:46:35+00:00

On my screen, when something crashes, I only have space for maybe 16
functions of the stack trace before the information above it scrolls
off the screen.  It's easy to hack the kernel to print out only that
much, but it's harder to remember to do it.  This introduces a config
option for it so that I can keep the setting in my config.

powerpc: Split-out common MSI bitmap logic into msi_bitmap.c

2008-08-20T06:34:57+00:00

There are now two almost identical implementations of an MSI bitmap
allocator, one in mpic_msi.c and the other in fsl_msi.c.

Merge them together and put the result in msi_bitmap.c.  Some of the
MPIC bits will remain to provide a nicer interface for the MPIC users.

In the process we fix two buglets.  The first is that the allocation
routines, now msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs(), returned an unsigned result,
even though they use -1 to indicate allocation failure.  Although all
the callers were checking correctly, it is much better for the routine
to just return an int.  At least until someone wants > ~2 billion MSIs.

The second buglet is that the device tree reservation logic only
allowed power-of-two reservations.  AFAICT that didn't effect any
existing code but it's nicer if we can reserve arbitrary irqs from MSI
use.

We also add some selftests, which exposed the two buglets and now test
for them, as well as some basic sanity tests.  The tests are only built
when CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y.

powerpc: Remove use of CONFIG_PPC_MERGE

2008-08-04T03:18:17+00:00

Now that arch/ppc is gone and CONFIG_PPC_MERGE is always set, remove
the dead code associated with !CONFIG_PPC_MERGE from arch/powerpc
and include/asm-powerpc.

kgdb, powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb support

2008-07-23T16:30:15+00:00

This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and
implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core
interface.

It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you
cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of
debug hooks.

The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the
debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver.
Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver
configured.

powerpc: Add self-tests of the feature fixup code

2008-07-01T01:28:30+00:00

This commit adds tests of the feature fixup code, they are run during
boot if CONFIG_FTR_FIXUP_SELFTEST=y. Some of the tests manually invoke
the patching routines to check their behaviour, and others use the
macros and so are patched during the normal patching done during boot.

Because we have two sets of macros with different names, we use a macro
to generate the test of the macros, very niiiice.

powerpc: Add tests of the code patching routines

2008-07-01T01:28:22+00:00

Add tests of the existing code patching routines, as well as the new
routines added in the last commit.  The self-tests are run late in boot
when CONFIG_CODE_PATCHING_SELFTEST=y, which depends on DEBUG_KERNEL=y.

[POWERPC] Add IRQSTACKS support on ppc32

2008-04-29T05:57:34+00:00

This makes it possible to use separate stacks for hard and soft IRQs
on 32-bit powerpc as well as on 64-bit.  The code for 32-bit is just
the 32-bit analog of the 64-bit code.

* Added allocation and initialization of the irq stacks.  We limit the
  stacks to be in lowmem for ppc32.
* Implemented ppc32 versions of call_do_softirq() and call_handle_irq()
  to switch the stack pointers
* Reworked how we do stack overflow detection.  We now keep around the
  limit of the stack in the thread_struct and compare against the limit
  to see if we've overflowed.  We can now use this on ppc64 if desired.

[ paulus@samba.org: Fixed bug on 6xx where we need to reload r9 with the
  thread_info pointer. ]
