The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there), or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual address space. This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but grew its own fixes. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
I don't think anything guarantees that the objects in data.page_aligned are a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, thus the section may end on any boundary. So the following section, .data.cacheline_aligned needs an explicit alignment. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes. The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had to be flagged as an "early clobber". I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

pr_debug() can now result in code being generated even when #DEBUG is not defined. That's not really desirable in the ftrace code which we want to be snappy.

A couple of issues crept in since about 2.6.27 related to accessing PCI device ROMs on various powerpc machines. First, historically, we don't allocate the ROM resource in the resource tree. I'm not entirely certain of why, I susepct they often contained garbage on x86 but it's hard to tell. This causes the current generic code to always call pci_assign_resource() when trying to access the said ROM from sysfs, which will try to re-assign some new address regardless of what the ROM BAR was already set to at boot time. This can be a problem on hypervisor platforms like pSeries where we aren't supposed to move PCI devices around (and in fact probably can't). Second, our code that generates the PCI tree from the OF device-tree (instead of doing config space probing) which we mostly use on pseries at the moment, didn't set the (new) flag IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any resource. That means that any attempt at re-assigning such a resource with pci_assign_resource() would fail due to resource_alignment() returning 0. This fixes this by doing these two things: - The code that calculates resource flags based on the OF device-node is improved to set IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any valid BAR, and while at it also set IORESOURCE_READONLY for ROMs since we were lacking that too - We now allocate ROM resources as part of the resource tree. However to limit the chances of nasty conflicts due to busted firmwares, we only do it on the second pass of our two-passes allocation scheme, so that all valid and enabled BARs get precedence. This brings pSeries back the ability to access PCI ROMs via sysfs (and thus initialize various video cards from X etc...). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
My previous pach for fixing the oprofile CPU type got somewhat mismerged (by my fault) when it collided with another related patch. This should finally (fingers crossed) fix the whole thing. We make sure we keep the -old- oprofile type and CPU type whenever one of them was specified in the first pass through the function. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

commit 2657dd4e301d4841ed67a4fac7d145ad8f3e1b28 introduced a bug where we would now always override the "real" oprofile CPU type with the "compatible" one provided by a pseudo-PVR in the device-tree which is incorrect and breaks oprofile on all current configs since the "compatible" ones aren't yet recognized. This fixes it. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Oprofile is changing the naming it is using for the compatibility modes. Instead of having compat-power<x>, oprofile will go to family naming convention and use ibm-compat-v<x>. Currently only ibm-compat-v1 will be defined. The notion of compatibility events just started with POWER6. So there is no way that any other tool could exist that is using these oprofile_cpu_type strings we want to change.
