* [PATCH] ppc64: silence perfmon exception warningsAnton Blanchard2005-07-071-13/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | We dont need to use the PERFMON exception on POWER5, in fact the firmware returns an error. Due to this just remove the warning. Also now that we have proper runlatch support we can remove the bootup hack.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable the runlatch at the start of each exception. Unfortunately we are out of space in the 0x300 handler, so I added it a bit later. The SPR write is fairly expensive, perhaps we should cache the runlatch state in the paca and avoid the write when possible. We don't need to turn the runlatch off, we do that in the idle loop. Better to take the hit in the idle loop than for each exception exit.

| * [PATCH] ppc64: Replace custom locking code with a spinlockMichael Ellerman2005-06-301-36/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hvlpevent_queue (formally ItLpQueue) has a member called xInUseWord which is used for serialising access to the queue. Because it's a word (ie. 32 bit) there's a custom 32-bit version of test_and_set_bit() or thereabouts in ItLpQueue.c. The xInUseWord is not shared with they hypervisor, so we can replace it with a spinlock and remove the custom code. There is also another locking mechanism (ItLpQueueInProcess). This is redundant because it's only manipulated while the lock's held. Remove it.

But all these pointers end up pointing to the one place, ie. xItLpQueue. So remove the pointer from the paca struct and just refer to xItLpQueue directly where needed. The only complication is that the spread_lpevents logic was implemented by having a NULL lpqueue pointer in the paca on CPUs that weren't supposed to process events. Instead we just compare the spread_lpevents value to the processor id to get the same behaviour.

Quite a few systems with misdescribed IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll. It also fixes up the VIA systems although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically). A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for. In those cases it doesn't help.

| * [PATCH] Return probe redesign: ppc64 specific implementationRusty Lynch2005-06-272-0/+103
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following is a patch provided by Ananth Mavinakayanahalli that implements the new PPC64 specific parts of the new function return probe design. NOTE: Since getting Ananth's patch, I changed trampoline_probe_handler() to consume each of the outstanding return probem instances (feedback on my original RFC after Ananth cut a patch), and also added the arch_init() function (adding arch specific initialization.) I have cross compiled but have not testing this on a PPC64 machine. Changes include: * Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back to the original return address. * Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on kretprobe_trampoline * Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation. This is the function that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function and returning control back at the original return address * Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when a caller enters the target function. (A return probe instance contains all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.) * Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

| * [PATCH] kprobes: fix single-step out of line - take2Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli2005-06-271-4/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that PPC64 has no-execute support, here is a second try to fix the single step out of line during kprobe execution. Kprobes on x86_64 already solved this problem by allocating an executable page and using it as the scratch area for stepping out of line. Reuse that.
