* [IA64] Kernel parameter for max number of concurrent global TLB purgesFenghua Yu2008-04-043-7/+43
| | | | | | | | | The patch defines kernel parameter "nptcg=". The parameter overrides max number of concurrent global TLB purges which is reported from either PAL_VM_SUMMARY or SAL PALO. Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
* [IA64] Multiple outstanding ptc.g instruction supportFenghua Yu2008-04-043-17/+160
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g instructions. But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to serialize ptc.g instructions issued by multiple processors. This serialization might have scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge TLB in parallel. The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY). PALO specification can be found at: http://www.dig64.org/home/DIG64_PALO_R1_0.pdf spinaphore implementation by Matthew Wilcox.

* x86 ptrace: avoid unnecessary wrmsrRoland McGrath2008-04-041-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This avoids using wrmsr on MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR when it's not needed. No wrmsr ever needs to be done if noone has ever used block stepping. Without this change, using ptrace on 2.6.25 on an x86 KVM guest will tickle KVM's missing support for the MSR and crash the guest kernel. Though host KVM is the buggy one, this makes for a regression in the guest behavior from 2.6.24->2.6.25 that we can easily avoid. I also corrected some bad whitespace.

| * [POWERPC] Fix MPC5200 (not B!) device tree so FEC ethernet worksRené Bürgel2008-04-031-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This gets the FEC ethernet driver working again on the lite5200 platform. The FEC driver is also compatible with the MPC5200, not only with the MPC5200B, so this adds a suitable entry to the driver's match list. Furthermore this adds the settings for the PHY in the dts file for the Lite5200. Note, that this is not exactly the same as in the Lite5200B, because the PHY is located at f0003000:01 for the 5200, and at :00 for the 5200B. This was tested on a Lite5200 and a Lite5200B, both booted a kernel via tftp and mounted the root via nfs successfully.

| * [POWERPC] Fix deadlock with mmu_hash_lock in hash_page_syncBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-04-031-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hash_page_sync() takes and releases the low level mmu hash lock in order to sync with other processors disposing of page tables. Because that lock can be needed to service hash misses triggered by interrupt handlers, taking it must be done with interrupts off. However, hash_page_sync() appears to be called with interrupts enabled, thus causing occasional deadlocks. We fix it by making sure hash_page_sync() masks interrupts while holding the lock.

| * [POWERPC] Fix iSeries hard irq enabling regressionBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-04-032-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | vmcoreinfo: add the symbol "phys_base"Ken'ichi Ohmichi2008-04-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the problem that makedumpfile sometimes fails on x86_64 machine. This patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. On x86_64 kernel which compiled with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x0 and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, makedumpfile fails like the following: # makedumpfile -d31 /proc/vmcore dumpfile The kernel version is not supported. The created dumpfile may be incomplete. _exclude_free_page: Can't get next online node. makedumpfile Failed. # The cause is the lack of the symbol "phys_base" in a vmcoreinfo data. If the symbol "phys_base" does not exist, makedumpfile considers an x86_64 kernel as non relocatable. As the result, makedumpfile misunderstands the physical address where the kernel is loaded, and it cannot translate a kernel virtual address to physical address correctly. To fix this problem, this patch adds the symbol "phys_base" to a vmcoreinfo data. Signed-off-by: Ken'ichi Ohmichi <oomichi@mxs.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: "Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some IOMMUs allocate memory areas spanning LLD's segment boundary limit. It forces low level drivers to have a workaround to adjust scatter lists that the IOMMU builds. We are in the process of making all the IOMMUs respect the segment boundary limits to remove such work around in LLDs. SPARC64 IOMMUs were rewritten to use the IOMMU helper functions and the commit 89c94f2f70d093f59b55d3ea8042d13889169346 made the IOMMUs not allocate memory areas spanning the segment boundary limit. However, SPARC64 IOMMUs allocate memory areas first then try to merge them (while some IOMMUs walk through all the sg entries to see how they can be merged first and allocate memory areas). So SPARC64 IOMMUs also need the boundary limit checking when they try to merge sg entries.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a bug in the powerpc DABR (data access breakpoint) handling, which can result in us missing breakpoints if several threads are trying to break on the same address. The circumstances are that do_page_fault() calls do_dabr(), this clears the DABR (sets it to 0) and sets up the signal which will report to userspace that the DABR was hit. The do_signal() code will restore the DABR value on the way out to userspace. If we reschedule before calling do_signal(), __switch_to() will check the cached DABR value and compare it to the new thread's value, if they match we don't set the DABR in hardware. So if two threads have the same DABR value, and we schedule from one to the other after taking the interrupt for the first thread hitting the DABR, the second thread will run without the DABR set in hardware. The cleanest fix is to move the cache update into set_dabr(), that way we can't forget to do it.

That needs to happen once the general pagetable setup has been done. Previously, the UP shared_info was set up one in xen_start_kernel, but that was left pointing to the dummy shared info. Unfortunately there's no really good place to do a later setup of the shared_info in UP, so just do it once the pagetable setup has been done.

Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock. The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather costly and unnecessary. The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will be processed. This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.
