The DSISR register contains information about a data page fault. It is fully
read/write from inside the guest context and we don't need to worry about
interacting based on writes of this register.
This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the
MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to
toggle in critical sections.
So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's
put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read
its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few
safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation
for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

There exists a four line chunk of code, which when configured for
64 bit address space, can incorrectly set certain page flags during
the TLB creation. It turns out that this is code which isn't used,
but might still serve a purpose. Since it isn't obvious why it exists
or why it causes problems, the below description covers both in detail.
For powerpc bootstrap, the physical memory (at most 768M), is mapped
into the kernel space via the following path:
MMU_init()
|
+ adjust_total_lowmem()
|
+ map_mem_in_cams()
|
+ settlbcam(i, virt, phys, cam_sz, PAGE_KERNEL_X, 0);
On settlbcam(), the kernel will create TLB entries according to the flag,
PAGE_KERNEL_X.
settlbcam()
{
...
TLBCAM[index].MAS1 = MAS1_VALID
| MAS1_IPROT | MAS1_TSIZE(tsize) | MAS1_TID(pid);
^
These entries cannot be invalidated by the
kernel since MAS1_IPROT is set on TLB property.
...
if (flags & _PAGE_USER) {
TLBCAM[index].MAS3 |= MAS3_UX | MAS3_UR;
TLBCAM[index].MAS3 |= ((flags & _PAGE_RW) ? MAS3_UW : 0);
}
For classic BookE (flags & _PAGE_USER) is 'zero' so it's fine.
But on boards like the the Freescale P4080, we want to support 36-bit
physical address on it. So the following options may be set:
CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE=y
CONFIG_PTE_64BIT=y
CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT=y
As a result, boards like the P4080 will introduce PTE format as Book3E.
As per the file: arch/powerpc/include/asm/pgtable-ppc32.h
* #elif defined(CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE) && defined(CONFIG_PTE_64BIT)
* #include <asm/pte-book3e.h>
So PAGE_KERNEL_X is __pgprot(_PAGE_BASE | _PAGE_KERNEL_RWX) and the
book3E version of _PAGE_KERNEL_RWX is defined with:
(_PAGE_BAP_SW | _PAGE_BAP_SR | _PAGE_DIRTY | _PAGE_BAP_SX)
Note the _PAGE_BAP_SR, which is also defined in the book3E _PAGE_USER:
#define _PAGE_USER (_PAGE_BAP_UR | _PAGE_BAP_SR) /* Can be read */
So the possibility exists to wrongly assign the user MAS3_U<RWX> bits
to kernel (PAGE_KERNEL_X) address space via the following code fragment:
if (flags & _PAGE_USER) {
TLBCAM[index].MAS3 |= MAS3_UX | MAS3_UR;
TLBCAM[index].MAS3 |= ((flags & _PAGE_RW) ? MAS3_UW : 0);
}
Here is a dump of the TLB info from Simics with the above code present:
------
L2 TLB1
GT SSS UUU V I
Row Logical Physical SS TLPID TID WIMGE XWR XWR F P V
----- ----------------- ------------------- -- ----- ----- ----- --- --- - - -
0 c0000000-cfffffff 000000000-00fffffff 00 0 0 M XWR XWR 0 1 1
1 d0000000-dfffffff 010000000-01fffffff 00 0 0 M XWR XWR 0 1 1
2 e0000000-efffffff 020000000-02fffffff 00 0 0 M XWR XWR 0 1 1
Actually this conditional code was used for two legacy functions:
1: support KGDB to set break point.
KGDB already dropped this; now uses its core write to set break point.
2: io_block_mapping() to create TLB in segmentation size (not PAGE_SIZE)
for device IO space.
This use case is also removed from the latest PowerPC kernel.
However, there may still be a use case for it in the future, like
large user pages, so we can't remove it entirely. As an alternative,
we match on all bits of _PAGE_USER instead of just any bits, so the
case where just _PAGE_BAP_SR is set can't sneak through.
With this done, the TLB appears without U having XWR as below:
-------
L2 TLB1
GT SSS UUU V I
Row Logical Physical SS TLPID TID WIMGE XWR XWR F P V
----- ----------------- ------------------- -- ----- ----- ----- --- --- - - -

Fix the IRQ flag handling naming. In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
it maps:
local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
...
and under the other configuration, it maps:
raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
...
This is quite confusing. There should be one set of names expected of the
arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
by users of this facility.
Change this to have the arch provide:
flags = arch_local_save_flags()
flags = arch_local_irq_save()
arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
arch_local_irq_disable()
arch_local_irq_enable()
arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
arch_irqs_disabled()
arch_safe_halt()
Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:
raw_local_save_flags(flags)
raw_local_irq_save(flags)
raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
raw_local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_enable()
raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
raw_irqs_disabled()
raw_safe_halt()
with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:
local_save_flags(flags)
local_irq_save(flags)
local_irq_restore(flags)
local_irq_disable()
local_irq_enable()
irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
irqs_disabled()
safe_halt()
with tracing included if enabled.
The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
having to be macros.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.
This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.
This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

Since the cpu accounting code uses the hypervisor dispatch trace log
now when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING = y, the previous commit disabled
access to it via files in the /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dtl/ directory
in that case. This restores those files.
To do this, we now have a hook that the cpu accounting code will call
as it processes each entry from the hypervisor dispatch trace log.
The code in dtl.c now uses that to fill up its ring buffer, rather
than having the hypervisor fill the ring buffer directly.
This also fixes dtl_file_read() to handle overflow conditions a bit
better and adds a spinlock to ensure that race conditions (multiple
processes opening or reading the file concurrently) are handled
correctly.

Currently, when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is enabled, we use the
PURR register for measuring the user and system time used by
processes, as well as other related times such as hardirq and
softirq times. This turns out to be quite confusing for users
because it means that a program will often be measured as taking
less time when run on a multi-threaded processor (SMT2 or SMT4 mode)
than it does when run on a single-threaded processor (ST mode), even
though the program takes longer to finish. The discrepancy is
accounted for as stolen time, which is also confusing, particularly
when there are no other partitions running.
This changes the accounting to use the timebase instead, meaning that
the reported user and system times are the actual number of real-time
seconds that the program was executing on the processor thread,
regardless of which SMT mode the processor is in. Thus a program will
generally show greater user and system times when run on a
multi-threaded processor than on a single-threaded processor.
On pSeries systems on POWER5 or later processors, we measure the
stolen time (time when this partition wasn't running) using the
hypervisor dispatch trace log. We check for new entries in the
log on every entry from user mode and on every transition from
kernel process context to soft or hard IRQ context (i.e. when
account_system_vtime() gets called). So that we can correctly
distinguish time stolen from user time and time stolen from system
time, without having to check the log on every exit to user mode,
we store separate timestamps for exit to user mode and entry from
user mode.
On systems that have a SPURR (POWER6 and POWER7), we read the SPURR
in account_system_vtime() (as before), and then apportion the SPURR
ticks since the last time we read it between scaled user time and
scaled system time according to the relative proportions of user
time and system time over the same interval. This avoids having to
read the SPURR on every kernel entry and exit. On systems that have
PURR but not SPURR (i.e., POWER5), we do the same using the PURR
rather than the SPURR.
This disables the DTL user interface in /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/dtl
for now since it conflicts with the use of the dispatch trace log
by the time accounting code.

This arranges for the lppaca structs for most cpus to be dynamically
allocated in the same manner as the paca structs. If we don't include
support for legacy iSeries, only the first lppaca is statically
allocated; the rest are dynamically allocated. If we include legacy
iSeries support, then we statically allocate the first 64 lppaca
structs, since the iSeries hypervisor requires that the lppaca
structs be present in the data section of the kernel image, but
legacy iSeries supports at most 64 cpus.

Currently we have the lppaca structs as a simple array of NR_CPUS
entries, taking up space in the data section of the kernel image.
In future we would like to allocate them dynamically, so this
abstracts out the accesses to the array, making it easier to
change how we locate the lppaca for a given cpu in future.
Specifically, lppaca[cpu] changes to lppaca_of(cpu).

The POWER architecture does not require stcx to check that it is operating
on the same address as the larx. This means it is possible for an
an exception handler to execute a larx, get a reservation, decide
not to do the stcx and then return back with an active reservation. If the
interrupted code was in the middle of a larx/stcx sequence the stcx could
incorrectly succeed.
All recent POWER CPUs check the address before letting the stcx succeed
so we can create a CPU feature and nop it out. As Ben suggested, we can
only do this in our syscall path because there is a remote possibility
some kernel code gets interrupted by an exception that ends up operating
on the same cacheline.
Thanks to Paul Mackerras and Derek Williams for the idea.
To test this I used a very simple null syscall (actually getppid) testcase
at http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c
I tested against 2.6.35-git10 with the following changes against the
pseries_defconfig:
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=n
CONFIG_AUDIT=n
CONFIG_PPC_4K_PAGES=n
CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y
CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=9
CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT=n
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=n
CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=n
CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER=n
CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=n
to remove the overhead of virtual CPU accounting, syscall auditing and
the ftrace mcount tracers. 64kB pages were enabled to minimise TLB misses.
POWER6: +8.2%
POWER7: +7.0%
Another suggestion was to use a larx to something in the L1 instead of a stcx.
This was almost as fast as removing the larx on POWER6, but only 3.5% faster
on POWER7. We can use this to speed up the reservation clear in our
exception exit code.

This makes the 64-bit kernel use 64-bit signed integers for the counter
(effectively supporting 32-bit of active count in the semaphore), thus
avoiding things like overflow of the mmap_sem if you use a really crazy
number of threads
Note: Ideally the type in the structure should be atomic_long_t rather
than "long". However, there's some nasty issues with that. It needs to
be initialized statically -and- lib/rwsem.c does things like
sem->count = RWSEM_UNLOCKED_VALUE;
Now, if you mix in the fact that atomic_* types are actually structures
with one member and note typedefs of a scalar, it makes its really nasty.
So I stuck to what we did before using a long and casts for now.

useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.
Let's remove this API.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN). So we
can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.
Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment. So
fully-coherent architectures should return 1. This patch also fixes this
issue.

Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.
dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others). So
we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.
This patch:
dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
alignment restriction). However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
architectures doesn't define it.
Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub
(except for crypto).

This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
LINEMODE in the server.
There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.
New ioctl:
TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the
current process group of the pty.
There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty
to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.
Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.
The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:

kunmap_atomic() is currently at level -4 on Rusty's "Hard To Misuse"
list[1] ("Follow common convention and you'll get it wrong"), except in
some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3].
kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes
takes a pointer to within the page itself. This seems to once in a while
trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from
kunmap()).
Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4]
("The compiler/linker won't let you get it wrong"). This is done by
refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a
struct page.
The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck()
(which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it
with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code).
The previous version of this patch was compile tested on x86-64.

[2] In these cases, it is at level 5, "Do it right or it will always
break at runtime."
[3] At least mips and powerpc look very similar, and sparc also seems to
share a common ancestor with both; there seems to be quite some
degree of copy-and-paste coding here. The include/asm/highmem.h file
for these three archs mention x86 CPUs at its top.

[5] As an aside, could someone tell me why mn10300 uses unsigned long as
the first parameter of kunmap_atomic() instead of void *?

Work around a silicon bug in the ac97 reset functionality of the
mpc5200(b). The implementation of the ac97 "cold" reset is flawed.
If the sync and output lines are high when reset is asserted the
attached ac97 device may go into test mode. Avoid this by
reconfiguring the psc to gpio mode and generating the reset manually.
From MPC5200B User's Manual:
"Some AC97 devices goes to a test mode, if the Sync line is high
during the Res line is low (reset phase). To avoid this behavior the
Sync line must be also forced to zero during the reset phase. To do
that, the pin muxing should switch to GPIO mode and the GPIO control
register should be used to control the output lines."

The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact
server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes)
and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode
(aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which
is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing.
We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into
arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations
from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE).
The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still
be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere.
It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears.
Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I
strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit
during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time
results in something that is accessible with a simple __va().
The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for
the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will
honor the current limit when performing those allocations.

MPC5121 DIU configuration/setup as initialized by the boot
loader currently will get lost while booting Linux. As a
result displaying the boot splash is not possible through
the boot process.
To prevent this we reserve configured DIU frame buffer
address range while booting and preserve AOI descriptor
and gamma table so that DIU continues displaying through
the whole boot process. On first open from user space
DIU frame buffer driver releases the reserved frame
buffer area and continues to operate as usual.

This patch moves the declaration of of_get_address(), of_get_pci_address(),
and of_pci_address_to_resource() out of arch code and into the common
linux/of_address header file.
This patch also fixes some of the asm/prom.h ordering issues. It still
includes some header files that it ideally shouldn't be, but at least the
ordering is consistent now so that of_* overrides work.
