1b70c5a649 [POWERPC] Fix bogus paca->_current initialization
When doing lockdep, I had two patches to initialize paca->_current
early, one bogus, and one correct.  Unfortunately both got merged
as the bad one ended up being part of the main lockdep patch by
mistake.  This causes memory corruption at boot.  This removes
the offending code.

745a14cc26 [POWERPC] Add fast little-endian switch system call
This adds a system call on 64-bit platforms for switching between
little-endian and big-endian modes that is much faster than doing a
prctl call.  This system call is handled as a special case right at
the start of the system call entry code, and because it is a special
case, it uses a system call number which is out of the range of
normal system calls, namely 0x1ebe.

Measurements with lmbench on a 4.2GHz POWER6 showed no measurable
change in the speed of normal system calls with this patch.

Switching endianness with this new system call takes around 60ns on a
4.2GHz POWER6, compared with around 300ns to switch endian mode with a
prctl.  This can provide a significant performance advantage for
emulators for little-endian architectures that want to switch between
big-endian and little-endian mode frequently, e.g. because they are
generating instructions sequences on the fly and they want to run
those sequences in little-endian mode.

The other thing about this system call is that it doesn't clobber as
many registers as a normal system call.  It only clobbers r12.

945feb174b [POWERPC] irqtrace support for 64-bit powerpc
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...

7c6352a469 [POWERPC] Initialize paca->current earlier
Currently, we initialize the "current" pointer in the PACA (which
is used by the "current" macro in the kernel) before calling
setup_system(). That means that early_setup() is called with
current still "NULL" which is -not- a good idea. It happens to
work so far but breaks with lockdep when early code calls printk.

This changes it so that all PACAs are statically initialized with
__current pointing to the init task. For non-0 CPUs, this is fixed
up before use.

320787c75c [POWERPC] Fix handling of unrecoverable SLB miss interrupts
If an SLB miss interrupt happens while the RI bit of MSR is zero, we
can't just return, because RI being zero indicates that SRR0/SRR1
potentially had live values in them, and the process of taking an
interrupt overwrites them.

This should never happen, but if it does, we try to print a nice oops
message.  That doesn't work, however, because the code at unrecov_slb
assumes that the MMU has been turned on, but we call it with the MMU
off (and have done so since the SLB miss handler was rewritten to run
without turning the MMU on) -- except on iSeries, where everything runs
with the MMU on.

This fixes it by adding the necessary code to turn the MMU on if
necessary.

ff3da2e093 [POWERPC] Fix iSeries hard irq enabling regression
A subtle bug sneaked into iSeries recently.  On this platform, we must
not normally clear MSR:EE (the hardware external interrupt enable)
except for short periods of time.  Taking an interrupt while
soft-disabled doesn't cause us to clear it for example.

The iSeries kernel expects to mostly run with MSR:EE enabled at all
times except in a few exception entry/exit code paths.  Thus
local_irq_enable() doesn't check if it needs to hard-enable as it
expects this to be unnecessary on iSeries.

However, hard_irq_disable() _does_ cause MSR:EE to be cleared,
including on iSeries.  A call to it was recently added to the
context switch code, thus causing interrupts to become disabled
for a long periods of time, causing the iSeries watchdog to kick
in under some circumstances and other nasty things.

This patch fixes it by making local_irq_enable() properly re-enable
MSR:EE on iSeries.  It basically removes a return statement here
to make iSeries use the same code path as everybody else.  That does
mean that we might occasionally get spurious decrementer interrupts
but I don't think that matters.

Another option would have been to make hard_irq_disable() a nop
on iSeries but I didn't like it much, in case we have good reasons
to hard-disable.

Part of the patch is fixes to make sure the hard_enabled PACA field
is properly set on iSeries as it used not to be before, since it
was mostly unused.

fa28237cfc [POWERPC] Provide a way to protect 4k subpages when using 64k pages
Using 64k pages on 64-bit PowerPC systems makes life difficult for
emulators that are trying to emulate an ISA, such as x86, which use a
smaller page size, since the emulator can no longer use the MMU and
the normal system calls for controlling page protections.  Of course,
the emulator can emulate the MMU by checking and possibly remapping
the address for each memory access in software, but that is pretty
slow.

This provides a facility for such programs to control the access
permissions on individual 4k sub-pages of 64k pages.  The idea is
that the emulator supplies an array of protection masks to apply to a
specified range of virtual addresses.  These masks are applied at the
level where hardware PTEs are inserted into the hardware page table
based on the Linux PTEs, so the Linux PTEs are not affected.  Note
that this new mechanism does not allow any access that would otherwise
be prohibited; it can only prohibit accesses that would otherwise be
allowed.  This new facility is only available on 64-bit PowerPC and
only when the kernel is configured for 64k pages.

The masks are supplied using a new subpage_prot system call, which
takes a starting virtual address and length, and a pointer to an array
of protection masks in memory.  The array has a 32-bit word per 64k
page to be protected; each 32-bit word consists of 16 2-bit fields,
for which 0 allows any access (that is otherwise allowed), 1 prevents
write accesses, and 2 or 3 prevent any access.

Implicit in this is that the regions of the address space that are
protected are switched to use 4k hardware pages rather than 64k
hardware pages (on machines with hardware 64k page support).  In fact
the whole process is switched to use 4k hardware pages when the
subpage_prot system call is used, but this could be improved in future
to switch only the affected segments.

The subpage protection bits are stored in a 3 level tree akin to the
page table tree.  The top level of this tree is stored in a structure
that is appended to the top level of the page table tree, i.e., the
pgd array.  Since it will often only be 32-bit addresses (below 4GB)
that are protected, the pointers to the first four bottom level pages
are also stored in this structure (each bottom level page contains the
protection bits for 1GB of address space), so the protection bits for
addresses below 4GB can be accessed with one fewer loads than those
for higher addresses.

can happen in some rare circumstances when the hypervisor refuses
the insertion of a PTE, typically if you try to access junk via

1189be6508 [POWERPC] Use 1TB segments
This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).

We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.

We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments.  That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.

Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.

449d846dbc [POWERPC] Fix performance monitor exception
To the issue: some point during 2.6.20 development, Paul Mackerras
introduced the "lazy IRQ  disabling" patch (very cool work,  BTW).
In that patch, the performance monitor unit exception was marked as
"maskable", in the sense that if interrupts were soft-disabled, that
exception could be ignored.  This broke my PowerPC profiling code.
The symptom that I see is that a varying number of interrupts
(from 0 to $n$, typically closer to 0) get delivered, when, in
reality, it should always be very close to $n$.

The issue stems from the way masking is being done.   Masking in
this fashion seems to  work well with the decrementer and external
interrupts, because they are raised again until "really"  handled.
For the PMU, however, this does not apply (at least on my Xserver
machine with a 970FX processor).  If the PMU exception is not handled,
it will _not_ be re-raised (at least on my machine).  The documentation
states that the PMXE bit in MMCR0 is set to 0 when the PMU exception
is raised.  However, software must re-set the bit to re-enable PMU
exceptions.  If the exception is ignored (as currently) not only is
that interrupt lost, but because software does not re-set PMXE, the
PMU registers are "frozen" forever.

[This patch means that performance monitor exceptions are taken and
handled even if irqs are off, as long as some other interrupt hasn't
come along and caused interrupts to be hard-disabled.  In this sense
the PMU exception becomes like an NMI.  The oprofile code for most
powerpc processors does nothing that is unsafe in an NMI context, but
the Cell oprofile code does a spin_lock_irqsave.  However, that turns
out to be OK because Cell doesn't actually use the performance
monitor exception; performance monitor interrupts come in as a
regular interrupt on Cell, so will be disabled when irqs are off.

Instead of saving it on entry, we compute it from the MSR_EE bit

d04c56f73c [POWERPC] Lazy interrupt disabling for 64-bit machines
This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts.  This means
that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
enabled' flag in the paca.  If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
flag in the paca, and returns.  This means that interrupts only
actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.

When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
interrupts got hard-disabled.  If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.

This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.

This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw.  This doesn't
yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
flags.  This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

33dbcf72f6 [POWERPC] Make sure smp_processor_id works very early in boot
There's a small period early in boot where we don't know which cpu we're
running on. That's ok, except that it means we have no paca, or more
correctly that our paca pointer points somewhere random.

So that we can safely call things like smp_processor_id(), we need a paca,
so just assume we're on cpu 0. No code should _write_ to the paca before
we've set the correct one up.

We setup the proper paca after we've scanned the flat device tree in
early_setup(), so there's no need to do it again in start_here_common.

d0b79c54fc [POWERPC] Skip the "copy down" of the kernel if it is already at zero.
This patch allows the kernel to recognized that it was loaded at zero
and the copy down of the image is unnecessary.  This is useful for
Simulators and kexec models.
On a typical 3.8 MiB vmlinux.strip this saves about 2.3 million instructions.

acf7d76827 [POWERPC] cell: add RAS support
This is a first version of support for the Cell BE "Reliability,
Availability and Serviceability" features.

It doesn't yet handle some of the RAS interrupts (the ones described in
iic_is/iic_irr), I'm still working on a proper way to expose these. They
are essentially a cascaded controller by themselves (sic !) though I may
just handle them locally to the iic driver. I need also to sync with
David Erb on the way he hooked in the performance monitor interrupt.

So that's all for 2.6.17 and I'll do more work on that with my rework of
the powerpc interrupt layer that I'm hacking on at the moment.

f39224a8c1 powerpc: Use correct sequence for putting CPU into nap mode
We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into
nap mode.  When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus
started hanging when we put them into nap mode.  Changing to the
recommended sequence fixes that.

The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that
keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode.  Clearly we need some way
to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt,
decrementer, performance monitor) occurs.  Here we use a bit in
the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception
entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return
to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop.
We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can
alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence.

The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing
there too.

This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on
32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to
get trashed.

4df20460a3 [PATCH] powerpc: Allow non zero boot cpuids
We currently have a hack to flip the boot cpu and its secondary thread
to logical cpuid 0 and 1. This means the logical - physical mapping will
differ depending on which cpu is boot cpu. This is most apparent on
kexec, where we might kexec on any cpu and therefore change the mapping
from boot to boot.

The patch below does a first pass early on to work out the logical cpuid
of the boot thread. We then fix up some paca structures to match.

Ive also removed the boot_cpuid_phys variable for ppc64, to be
consistent we use get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid) everywhere.

6088857b16 [PATCH] correct the comment about stackpointer alignment in __boot_from_prom
The address of variable val in prom_init_stdout is passed to prom_getprop.
prom_getprop casts the pointer to u32 and passes it to call_prom in the hope
that OpenFirmware stores something there.
But the pointer is truncated in the lower bits and the expected value is
stored somewhere else.

In my testing I had a stackpointer of 0x0023e6b4. val was at offset 120,
wich has address 0x0023e72c. But the value passed to OF was 0x0023e728.

c00000000040b710:       3b 01 00 78     addi    r24,r1,120
...
c00000000040b754:       57 08 00 38     rlwinm  r8,r24,0,0,28
...
c00000000040b784:       80 01 00 78     lwz     r0,120(r1)
...
c00000000040b798:       90 1b 00 0c     stw     r0,12(r27)
...

The stackpointer came from 32bit code.
The chain was yaboot -> zImage -> vmlinux

PowerMac OpenFirmware does appearently not handle the ELF sections
correctly.  If yaboot was compiled in
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/lilo-10.1.1/yaboot, then the stackpointer is
unaligned. But the stackpointer is correct if yaboot is compiled in
/tmp/yaboot.

This bug triggered since 2.6.15, now prom_getprop is an inline
function. gcc clears the lower bits, instead of just clearing the
upper 32 bits.

c6622f63db powerpc: Implement accurate task and CPU time accounting
This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit
powerpc kernels.  Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a
task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at
the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to
the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode.  We
also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts
accurately.  This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.  If
that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before.

To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor
utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase
on other machines on

* each entry to the kernel from usermode
* each exit to usermode
* transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq
  context in kernel mode
* context switches.

On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also
read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and
context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by
the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time).  Unfortunately,
since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to
accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate
steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time
between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle
loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment.

This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the
generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers,
i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc.

This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and
userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to
userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(),
times(), etc.  Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in
timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a
second) when reported to userspace.  Some precision is therefore lost
but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal
accumulation is at full precision.
