There is no reason to yield the CPU in spu_yield - if the backing
thread reenters spu_run it gets added to the end of the runqueue for
it's priority. So the yield is just a slowdown for the case where
we have higher priority contexts waiting.

The SPU code doesn't properly invalidate SPUs SLBs when necessary,
for example when changing a segment size from the hugetlbfs code. In
addition, it saves and restores the SLB content on context switches
which makes it harder to properly handle those invalidations.
This patch removes the saving & restoring for now, something more
efficient might be found later on. It also adds a spu_flush_all_slbs(mm)
that can be used by the core mm code to flush the SLBs of all SPEs that
are running a given mm at the time of the flush.
In order to do that, it adds a spinlock to the list of all SPEs and move
some bits & pieces from spufs to spu_base.c

For SCHED_RR tasks we can do some really trivial timeslicing. Basically
we fire up a time for every scheduler tick that searches for a higher
or same priority thread that is on the runqueue and if there is one
context switches to it. Because we can't lock spus from timer context
we actually run this from a delayed runqueue instead of a timer.
A nice optimization would be to skip the actual priority bitmap search
when there are less contexts than physical spus available. To implement
this I need a so far unpublished patch from Andre, and it will be added
after we have that patch in.
Note that right now we only do the time slicing for SCHED_RR tasks.
The code would work for SCHED_OTHER tasks aswell, but their prio
value is defered from the one the PPU thread has at time of spu_run,
and using this for spu scheduling decisions would make the code very
unfair. SCHED_OTHER support will be enabled once we the spu scheduler
knows how to calculcate cpu_context.prio (very soon)

- spu_free and spu_prio_wakeup are merged into a single spu_reschedule

- various functionality is split out into small helpers, and kerneldoc

It looks like we've had some serious bitrot there mostly due to tracking
of address_space's of mmap'ed files getting out of sync with the actual
mmap code. The mfc, mss and psmap were not tracked properly and thus
not invalidated on context switches (oops !)
I also removed the various file->f_mapping = inode->i_mapping;
assignments that were done in the other open() routines since that
is already done for us by __dentry_open.
One improvement we might want to do later is to assign the various
ctx-> fields at mmap time instead of file open/close time so that we
don't call unmap_mapping_range() on thing that have not been mmap'ed
Finally, I added some smp_wmb's after assigning the ctx-> fields to make
sure they are visible to other CPUs. I don't think this is really
necessary as I suspect locking in the fs layer will make that happen
anyway but better safe than sorry.

obvious and no longer relying on the truncate logic black magic
for protecting against races between unmap_mapping_range() and
new pages faulted in. It does so by switching to a nopfn() handler
and using the new vm_insert_pfn() to setup the PTEs itself while
holding a lock on the SPE.

/signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status,
/mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id.
A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to
specify they have extra elf core notes.
A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the
additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry.
A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes
would be written after the existing notes.
The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the
kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via
register_arch_coredump_calls().
A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the
coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the
SPU context for each file read from.

In order to fit with the "don't-run-spus-outside-of-spu_run" model, this
patch starts the isolated-mode loader in spu_run, rather than
spu_create. If spu_run is passed an isolated-mode context that isn't in
isolated mode state, it will run the loader.
This fixes potential races with the isolated SPE app doing a
stop-and-signal before the PPE has called spu_run: bugzilla #29111.
Also (in conjunction with a mambo patch), this addresses #28565, as we
always set the runcntrl register when entering spu_run.

When one of the spufs files is mapped into a process address
space, regular users can use ptrace to attempt accessing
them with access_process_vm(). With the way that the
mappings currently work, this likely causes an oops.
Setting the vm_flags to VM_IO makes sure that ptrace can
not access them but returns an error code. This is not
the perfect solution in case of the local store mapping,
but it fixes the oops in a well-defined way.
Also remove leftover VM_RESERVED flags in spufs. The
VM_RESERVED flag is on it's way out and not checked by

We need to check the channel count of the signal notification registers

zero. In order to read count and data atomically, we read from the
saved context.
This patch uses spu_acquire_saved() to force a context save before a
/signal1 or /signal2 read. Because of this it is no longer necessary to
have backing_ops and hw_ops versions of this function so they have been

When in isolated mode, SPEs have access to an area of persistent

isolated physical SPEs can be reused for subsequent applications.
Add a file ("recycle") in a spethread dir to enable isolated-mode
recycling. By writing to this file, the kernel will reload the
