powerpc: Fix compiler warning for the relocatable kernel

2008-10-31T05:11:54+00:00

Fixes this warning:
 arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c:447:5: warning: "kernstart_addr" is not defined

which arises because PHYSICAL_START is no longer a constant when
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.

powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel

2008-09-15T18:08:08+00:00

This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to
the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to
have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel.  Now,
instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top
32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and
ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of
the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset.

This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for
the handler with a load from the paca.  That makes it unnecessary to
have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit
mode.

We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code,
which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to
.slb_miss_realmode any more.  Instead we have to compute the address
and do an indirect branch.  This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE;
for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before.  (A later
change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.)

Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100
bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is,
we can't use a direct branch to get there.  Instead this changes
__secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer.  When it
is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function
pointed to by that value.

Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit
by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU
spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

powerpc: Update cpu_sibling_maps dynamically

2008-07-28T06:30:49+00:00

Rather doing one initialization pass over all the per-cpu
cpu_sibling_maps at boot, update the maps at cpu online/offline time.

This is a behavior change -- the thread_siblings attribute now
reflects only online siblings, whereas it would display offline
siblings before.  The new behavior matches that of x86, and is
arguably more useful.

powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtime

2008-07-03T06:58:10+00:00

To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync
at runtime.  On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up
the code.  We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu
is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'.

We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is
needed.  This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it
for the normal CPU_FTR purpose.

Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it
as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.

[POWERPC] Initialize lockdep earlier

2008-05-09T10:22:58+00:00

This moves lockdep_init() to before udbg_early_init() as the later
can call things that acquire spinlocks etc...  This also makes printk
safer to use earlier.

[POWERPC] Document when printk is useable

2008-05-09T10:22:58+00:00

When debugging early boot problems, it's common to sprinkle printk's
all over the place.  However, on 64-bit powerpc, this can lead to
memory corruption if done too early due to the PACA pointer and
lockdep core not being initialized.

This adds some comments to early_setup() that document when it is
safe to do so in order to save time for whoever has to debug that
stuff next.

[POWERPC] Make emergency stack safe for current_thread_info() use

2008-04-30T09:49:48+00:00

The current_thread_info() macro, used by preempt_count(), assumes the
base address and size of the stack are THREAD_SIZE aligned.

The emergency stack currently isn't either of these things, which
could potentially cause problems anytime we're running on the
emergency stack.  That includes when we detect a bad kernel stack
pointer, and also during early_setup_secondary().

[POWERPC] 85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and booting at non-zero)

2008-04-24T10:58:01+00:00

Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical
address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and
kdump).  The support can be configured at compile time by setting
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as
desired.

Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE.  Setting this
config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical
addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START.  If
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning.
However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program
header physical address field in the resulting ELF image.

Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a
multiple of 256M.  This is due to how we map TLBs to cover
lowmem.  This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment
in the future.  It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a
non-aligned physical address.

All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization
of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.

The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings.
ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.

/dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system
regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

[POWERPC] irqtrace support for 64-bit powerpc

2008-04-18T05:38:47+00:00

This adds the low level irq tracing hooks to the powerpc architecture
needed to enable full lockdep functionality.

This is partly based on Johannes Berg's initial version.  I removed
the asm trampoline that isn't needed (thus improving performance) and
modified all sorts of bits and pieces, reworking most of the assembly,
etc...
