Change ehca's Kconfig to activates scaling code as default. After several measurements we saw that this feature prevents dropped packets (UD) in stress situation. Thus, enabling it helps to improve ehca's bandwidth through IPoIB. Signed-off-by: Hoang-Nam Nguyen <hnguyen@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

Assure 4K alignment for firmware control blocks in 64K page mode, because kzalloc()'s result address might not be 4K aligned if 64K pages are enabled. Thus, we introduce wrappers called ehca_{alloc,free}_fw_ctrlblock(), which use a slab cache for objects with 4K length and 4K alignment in order to alloc/free firmware control blocks in 64K page mode. In 4K page mode those wrappers just are defines of get_zeroed_page() and free_page(). Signed-off-by: Hoang-Nam Nguyen <hnguyen@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

It turns out that the linker warnings on 64-bit powerpc about "section blah exceeds stub group size" were being triggered by conditional branches in head_64.S branching to global symbols, whether in head_64.S or in other files. This eliminates the warnings by making some global symbols in head_64.S no longer global, and by rearranging some branches. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> [ Yee-haa.

Since the "mask" bit is in the low word, when we write a new entry, we need to write the high word first, before we potentially unmask it. The exception is when we actually want to mask the interrupt, in which case we want to write the low word first to make sure that the high word doesn't change while the interrupt routing is still active.

This is preparation for fixing the ordering of the accesses that got broken by the commit cf4c6a2f when factoring out the "common" io apic routing entry accesses. Move the accessor function (that were only used by io_apic.c) out of a header file, and use proper memory-mapped accesses rather than making up our own "volatile" pointers.

ahci_softreset() used to use ahci_tf_read() which reads D2H_REG area to check for the Status register. However, this area is zeroed on initialization and not set by initial signature FIS. Replace it with ahci_check_status(). This bug prevented CLO code from being activated whenever BSY and/or DRQ is set prior to softreset. This fix makes AHCI_FLAG_RESET_NEEDS_CLO flag redundant.

The alignment exception used to only check the exception table for -EFAULT, not for other errors. That opens an oops window if we can coerce the kernel into getting an alignment exception for other reasons in what would normally be a user-protected accessor, which can be done via some of the futex ops. This fixes it by always checking the exception tables. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

On powerpc, probing on emulate_step function will crash 2.6.18.1 when it is triggered. When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and will cause recursive kprobe fault. And branch_taken() is called in emulate_step(). This disallows kprobes on both of them. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

If mmiowb() is always used prior to releasing spinlock as Doc suggests, then it's safe against preemption; but I'm not convinced that's always the case. If preemption occurs between sync and get_paca()->io_sync = 0, I believe there's no problem. But in the unlikely event that gcc does the store relative to another register than r13 (as it did with current), then there's a small danger of setting another cpu's io_sync to 0, after it had just set it to 1. Rewrite ppc64 mmiowb to prevent that. The remaining io_sync assignments in io.h all get_paca()->io_sync = 1, which is harmless even if preempted to the wrong cpu (the context switch itself syncs); and those in spinlock.h are while preemption is disabled.

Checking source for other get_paca()->field preemption dangers found that open_high_hpage_areas does a structure copy into its paca while preemption is enabled: unsafe however gcc accomplishes it. Just remove that copy: it's done safely afterwards by on_each_cpu, as in open_low_hpage_areas.

Repeated -j20 kernel builds on a G5 Quad running an SMP PREEMPT kernel would often collapse within a day, some exec failing with "Bad address". In each case examined, load_elf_binary was doing a kernel_read, but generic_file_aio_read's access_ok saw current->thread.fs.seg as USER_DS instead of KERNEL_DS. objdump of filemap.o shows gcc 4.1.0 emitting "mr r5,r13 ... ld r9,416(r5)" here for get_paca()->__current, instead of the expected and much more usual "ld r9,416(r13)"; I've seen other gcc4s do the same, but perhaps not gcc3s. So, if the task is preempted and rescheduled on a different cpu in between the mr and the ld, r5 will be looking at a different paca_struct from the one it's now on, pick up the wrong __current, and perhaps the wrong seg. Presumably much worse could happen elsewhere, though that split is rare. Other architectures appear to be safe (x86_64's read_pda is more limiting than get_paca), but ppc64 needs to force "current" into one instruction.
