Defer copying of ptes until fault time when it is possible to reconstruct the pte from backing store. Idea from Andi Kleen and Nick Piggin. Thanks to input from Rik van Riel and Linus and to Hugh for correcting my blundering. Ray Fucillo <fucillo@intersystems.com> reports: "I applied this latest patch to a 2.6.12 kernel and found that it does resolve the problem. Prior to the patch on this machine, I was seeing about 23ms spent in fork for ever 100MB of shared memory segment. After applying the patch, fork is taking about 1ms regardless of the shared memory size." Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

It appears that a memory barrier soon after a mispredicted branch, not just in the delay slot, can cause the hang condition of this cpu errata. So move them out-of-line, and explicitly put them into a "branch always, predict taken" delay slot which should fully kill this problem. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When the spinlock routines were moved out of line into kernel/spinlock.c this made it so that the debugging spinlocks record lock acquisition program counts in the kernel/spinlock.c functions not in their callers. This makes the debugging info kind of useless. So record the correct caller's program counter and now this feature is useful once more. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Current uncorrectable error handling was poor enough that the processor could just loop taking the same trap over and over again. Fix things up so that we at least get a log message and perhaps even some register state. In the process, much consolidation became possible, particularly with the correctable error handler. Prefix assembler and C function names with "spitfire" to indicate that these are for Ultra-I/II/IIi/IIe only. More work is needed to make these routines robust and featureful to the level of the Ultra-III error handlers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* ieee1394_device_id has kernel_ulong_t field after an odd number of __u32 ones. Since mod_devicetable.h is included both from kernel and from host build helper, we may be in trouble if we are building on 32bit host for 64bit target - userland sees unsigned long long, kernel sees unsigned long and while their sizes match, alignments might not. Fixed by forcing alignment. Fortunately, almost nobody else needs that - the rest of such fields is naturally aligned as it is. * of_device_id has void * in it. Host userland helpers need kernel_ulong_t instead, since their void * might have nothing to do with the kernel one. Fixed in the same way it's done for similar problems in pcmcia_device_id (ifdef __KERNEL__). * pcmcia_device_id has the same problem as ieee1394_device_id. Fixed the same way.

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes, confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled. The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked. 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_ NetBSD 2.0 *). The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this). 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being handled is not blocked. The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to the way most Unix boxes work. Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU 3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX. * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that behaves differently here with #2.

Paulus, I think this is now a reasonable candidate for the post-2.6.13 queue. Relax address restrictions for hugepages on ppc64 Presently, 64-bit applications on ppc64 may only use hugepages in the address region from 1-1.5T. Furthermore, if hugepages are enabled in the kernel config, they may only use hugepages and never normal pages in this area. This patch relaxes this restriction, allowing any address to be used with hugepages, but with a 1TB granularity. That is if you map a hugepage anywhere in the region 1TB-2TB, that entire area will be reserved exclusively for hugepages for the remainder of the process's lifetime. This works analagously to hugepages in 32-bit applications, where hugepages can be mapped anywhere, but with 256MB (mmu segment) granularity. This patch applies on top of the four level pagetable patch (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc64/patch?id=1936).

If both CONFIG_XMON and CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is enabled in the .config, there is no way to disable xmon again. setup_system calls first xmon_init, later parse_early_param.

We can now remove CONFIG_MSCHUNKS as it doesn't do anything interesting anymore. The only macro in abs_addr.h which is called by non-iSeries code is phys_to_abs(), so remove the other dummy implementations, and we add a firmware feature check to phys_to_abs().

lmb_phys_mem_size() can always return lmb.memory.size, as long as it's called after lmb_analyze(), which it is. There's no need to recalculate the size on every call. lmb_analyze() was calculating a few things we then threw away, so just don't calculate them to start with.

abs_to_phys() is a macro that turns out to do nothing, and also has the unfortunate property that it's not the inverse of phys_to_abs() on iSeries. The following is for my benefit as much as everyone else. With CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled, the lmb code is changed such that it keeps a physbase variable for each lmb region. This is used to take the possibly discontiguous lmb regions and present them as a contiguous address space beginning from zero. In this context each lmb region's base address is its "absolute" base address, and its physbase is it's "physical" address (from Linux's point of view). The abs_to_phys() macro does the mapping from "absolute" to "physical". Note: This is not related to the iSeries mapping of physical to absolute (ie. Hypervisor) addresses which is maintained with the msChunks structure. And the msChunks structure is not controlled via CONFIG_MSCHUNKS. Once upon a time you could compile for non-iSeries with CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled. But these days CONFIG_MSCHUNKS depends on CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES, so for non-iSeries code abs_to_phys() is a no-op. On iSeries we always have one lmb region which spans from 0 to systemcfg->physicalMemorySize (arch/ppc64/kernel/iSeries_setup.c line 383). This region has a base (ie. absolute) address of 0, and a physbase address of 0 (as calculated in lmb_analyze() (arch/ppc64/kernel/lmb.c line 144)). On iSeries, abs_to_phys(aa) is defined as lmb_abs_to_phys(aa), which finds the lmb region containing aa (and there's only one, ie. 0), and then does: return lmb.memory.region[0].physbase + (aa - lmb.memory.region[0].base) physbase == base == 0, so you're left with "return aa". So remove abs_to_phys(), and lmb_abs_to_phys() which is the implementation of abs_to_phys() for iSeries.

The lmb code is all written to use a pointer to an lmb struct. But it's always the same lmb struct, called "lmb". So we take the address of lmb, call it _lmb and then start using _lmb->foo everywhere, which is silly. This patch removes the _lmb pointers and replaces them with direct references to the one "lmb" struct. We do the same for some _mem and _rsv pointers which point to lmb.memory and lmb.reserved respectively. This patch looks quite busy, but it's basically just: s/_lmb->/lmb./g s/_mem->/lmb.memory./g s/_rsv->/lmb.reserved./g s/_rsv/&lmb.reserved/g s/mem->/lmb.memory./g Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Chunks are 256KB, so use constants for the size/shift/mask, rather than getting them from the msChunks struct. The iSeries debugger (??) might still need access to the values in the msChunks struct, so we keep them around for now, but set them from the constant values. Replace msChunks_entry typedef with regular u32. Simplify msChunks_alloc() to manipulate klimit directly, rather than via a parameter. Move msChunks_alloc() and msChunks into iSeries_setup.c, as that's where they're used. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The msChunks code was written to work on pSeries, but now it's only used on iSeries. This means there's no need to do PTRRELOC anymore, so remove it all. A few places were getting "extern reloc_offset()" from abs_addr.h, move it into system.h instead.
