* [SPARC64]: Fix powering off on SMP.David S. Miller2005-10-141-16/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Doing a "SUNW,stop-self" firmware call on the other cpus is not the correct thing to do when dropping into the firmware for a halt, reboot, or power-off. For now, just do nothing to quiet the other cpus, as the system should be quiescent enough. Later we may decide to implement smp_send_stop() like the other SMP platforms do. Based upon a report from Christopher Zimmermann. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [SPARC64]: Fix boot failures on SunBlade-150David S. Miller2005-10-121-113/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sequence to move over to the Linux trap tables from the firmware ones needs to be more air tight. It turns out that to be %100 safe we do need to be able to translate OBP mappings in our TLB miss handlers early. In order not to eat up a lot of kernel image memory with static page tables, just use the translations array in the OBP TLB miss handlers. That solves the bulk of the problem. Furthermore, to make sure the OBP TLB miss path will work even before the fixed MMU globals are loaded, explicitly load %g1 to TLB_SFSR at the beginning of the i-TLB and d-TLB miss handlers. To ease the OBP TLB miss walking of the prom_trans[] array, we sort it then delete all of the non-OBP entries in there (for example, there are entries for the kernel image itself which we're not interested in at all). We also save about 32K of kernel image size with this change. Not a bad side effect :-) There are still some reasons why trampoline.S can't use the setup_trap_table() yet. The most noteworthy are: 1) OBP boots secondary processors with non-bias'd stack for some reason. This is easily fixed by using a small bootup stack in the kernel image explicitly for this purpose. 2) Doing a firmware call via the normal C call prom_set_trap_table() goes through the whole OBP enter/exit sequence that saves and restores OBP and Linux kernel state in the MMUs. This path unfortunately does a "flush %g6" while loading up the OBP locked TLB entries for the firmware call. If we setup the %g6 in the trampoline.S code properly, that is in the PAGE_OFFSET linear mapping, but we're not on the kernel trap table yet so those addresses won't translate properly. One idea is to do a by-hand firmware call like we do in the early bootup code and elsewhere here in trampoline.S But this fails as well, as aparently the secondary processors are not booted with OBP's special locked TLB entries loaded. These are necessary for the firwmare to processes TLB misses correctly up until the point where we take over the trap table. This does need to be resolved at some point. Signed-off-by: David S.

* [SPARC64]: Fix initrd when net booting.David S. Miller2005-10-051-100/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By allocating early memory for the firmware page tables, we can write over the beginning of the initrd image. So what we do now is: 1) Read in firmware translations table while still on the firmware's trap table. 2) Switch to Linux trap table. 3) Init bootmem. 4) Build firmware page tables using __alloc_bootmem(). And this keeps the initrd from being clobbered. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [SPARC64]: Replace cheetah+ code patching with variables.David S. Miller2005-10-041-6/+20
| | | | | | | | Instead of code patching to handle the page size fields in the context registers, just use variables from which we get the proper values. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [SPARC64]: Simplify user fault fixup handling.David S. Miller2005-09-281-8/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of doing byte-at-a-time user accesses to figure out where the fault occurred, read the saved fault_address from the current thread structure. For the sake of defensive programming, if the fault_address does not fall into the user buffer range, simply assume the whole area faulted. This will cause the fixup for copy_from_user() to clear the entire kernel side buffer. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [SPARC64]: Convert to use generic exception table support.David S. Miller2005-09-283-88/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | The funny "range" exception table entries we had were only used by the compat layer socketcall assembly, and it wasn't even needed there. For free we now get proper exception table sorting and fast binary searching. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [SPARC64]: Do not do TLB pre-filling any more.David S. Miller2005-09-262-35/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | In order to do it correctly on UltraSPARC-III+ and later we'd need to add some complicated code to set the TAG access extension register before loading the TLB. Since this optimization gives questionable gains, it's best to just remove it for now instead of adding the fix for Ultra-III+ Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [SPARC64]: Simplify Spitfire D-cache page flush.David S. Miller2005-09-261-46/+23
| | | | | | | | | | It tries to batch up the tag loads and comparisons, and then the stores. And this is just complicated instead of efficient. Also, make the symbol of the Cheetah version more grepable. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [SPARC64]: Add CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support.David S. Miller2005-09-251-3/+106
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The trick is that we do the kernel linear mapping TLB miss starting with an instruction sequence like this: ba,pt %xcc, kvmap_load xor %g2, %g4, %g5 succeeded by an instruction sequence which performs a full page table walk starting at swapper_pg_dir. We first take over the trap table from the firmware. Then, using this constant PTE generation for the linear mapping area above, we build the kernel page tables for the linear mapping. After this is setup, we patch that branch above into a "nop", which will cause TLB misses to fall through to the full page table walk. With this, the page unmapping for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is trivial. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [SPARC64]: Rewrite bootup sequence.David S. Miller2005-09-221-93/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of all of this cpu-specific code to remap the kernel to the correct location, use portable firmware calls to do this instead. What we do now is the following in position independant assembler: chosen_node = prom_finddevice("/chosen"); prom_mmu_ihandle_cache = prom_getint(chosen_node, "mmu"); vaddr = 4MB_ALIGN(current_text_addr()); prom_translate(vaddr, &paddr_high, &paddr_low, &mode); prom_boot_mapping_mode = mode; prom_boot_mapping_phys_high = paddr_high; prom_boot_mapping_phys_low = paddr_low; prom_map(-1, 8 * 1024 * 1024, KERNBASE, paddr_low); and that replaces the massive amount of by-hand TLB probing and programming we used to do here. The new code should also handle properly the case where the kernel is mapped at the correct address already (think: future kexec support). Consequently, the bulk of remap_kernel() dies as does the entirety of arch/sparc64/prom/map.S We try to share some strings in the PROM library with the ones used at bootup, and while we're here mark input strings to oplib.h routines with "const" when appropriate. There are many more simplifications now possible. For one thing, we can consolidate the two copies we now have of a lot of cpu setup code sitting in head.S and trampoline.S. This is a significant step towards CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [SPARC64]: Remove unnecessary paging_init() cruft.David S. Miller2005-09-221-99/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because we don't access the PAGE_OFFSET linear mappings any longer before we take over the trap table from the firmware, we don't need to load dummy mappings there into the TLB and we don't need the bootmap_base hack any longer either. While we are here, check for a larger than 8MB kernel and halt the boot with an error message. We know that doesn't work, so instead of failing mysteriously we should let the user know exactly what's wrong. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [SPARC64]: Do not allocate OBP page tables using bootmemDavid S. Miller2005-09-221-47/+100
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Just allocate them physically starting from the end of the kernel image. This incredibly simplifies our MM bootstrap in that we don't need any mappings in the linear PAGE_OFFSET area working in order to bootstrap ourselves and take over the trap table from the firmware. Many further simplifications are possible now, and this also sets the stage for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [SPARC64]: Remove ktlb.S instruction patching.David S. Miller2005-09-211-20/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was kind of ugly, and actually buggy. The bug was that we didn't handle a machine with memory starting > 4GB. If the 'prompmd' was allocated in physical memory > 4GB we'd croak because the obp_iaddr_patch and obp_daddr_patch things only supported a 32-bit physical address. So fix this by just loading the appropriate values from two variables in the kernel image, which is locked into the TLB and thus accesses to them can't cause a recursive TLB miss.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The page->flags D-cache dirty state tracking depended upon NR_CPUS being a power-of-2 via it's "NR_CPUS - 1" masking.

* [SPARC64]: Avoid membar instructions in delay slots.David S. Miller2005-06-272-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, avoid membar instructions in the delay slot of a jmpl instruction. UltraSPARC-I, II, IIi, and IIe have a bug, documented in the UltraSPARC-IIi User's Manual, Appendix K, Erratum 51 The long and short of it is that if the IMU unit misses on a branch or jmpl, and there is a store buffer synchronizing membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions. If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the chip will unwedge itself, but performance will suffer. We already had a workaround for this bug in a few spots, but it's better to have the entire tree sanitized for this rule. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [PATCH] Hugepage consolidationDavid Gibson2005-06-211-171/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six. Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64. Notes: - this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more analagous to set_pte() - does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

* [PATCH] sparc64: Do not flush dcache for ZERO_PAGE.David S. Miller2005-04-171-4/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This case actually can get exercised a lot during an ELF coredump of a process which contains a lot of non-COW'd anonymous pages. GDB has this test case which in partiaular creates near terabyte process full of ZERO_PAGEes.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-168-0/+3612
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
