The issue is the SPU code is not holding the kernel mutex lock while adding samples to the kernel buffer. This patch creates per SPU buffers to hold the data. Data is added to the buffers from in interrupt context. The data is periodically pushed to the kernel buffer via a new Oprofile function oprofile_put_buff(). The oprofile_put_buff() function is called via a work queue enabling the funtion to acquire the mutex lock. The existing user controls for adjusting the per CPU buffer size is used to control the size of the per SPU buffers. Similarly, overflows of the SPU buffers are reported by incrementing the per CPU buffer stats. This eliminates the need to have architecture specific controls for the per SPU buffers which is not acceptable to the OProfile user tool maintainer. The export of the oprofile add_event_entry() is removed as it is no longer needed given this patch. Note, this patch has not addressed the issue of indexing arrays by the spu number. This still needs to be fixed as the spu numbering is not guarenteed to be 0 to max_num_spus-1.

If the vmlinux binary in memory is larger than 4 MiB than it collides with the initial boot code which is linked at 4 MiB in case of cuBoot. If the the uncompressed image size (on disk size) is less than 4 MiB then it would fit. The difference between those two sizes is the bss section. In cuBoot we have the dtb embedded right after the data section so it is very likely that the reset of the bss section (in kernel's start up code) will overwrite the dtb blob. Therefore we reallocate the dtb. Something similar is allready done to the initrd.

This patch improves redability of the code responsible for trying to find a node with enough SPUs not committed to other affinity gangs. An additional check is also added, to avoid taking into account gangs that have no SPU affinity. Signed-off-by: Andre Detsch <adetsch@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

With most file readers (eg cat, dd), reading a context's regs file will result in two reads: the first to read the data, and the second to return EOF. Because each read performs a spu_acquire_saved, we end up descheduling and re-scheduling the context twice. This change does a simple check to see if we'd return EOF before calling spu_acquire_saved(), saving the extra schedule operation. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

Currently, read() on the sputrace log will block until the read buffer is full. This makes it difficult to retrieve the end of the buffer, as the user will need to read with the right-sized buffer. In a similar method as 91553a1b5e0df006a3573a88d98ee7cd48a3818a, this change makes the switch_log return if there has already been data read. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

Currently, we use ctx->mapping_lock and ctx->switch_log->lock for the context switch log. The mapping lock only prevents concurrent open()s, so we require the switch_lock->lock for reads. Since writes to the switch log buffer occur on context switches, we're better off synchronising with the state_mutex, which is held during a switch. Since we're serialised througout the buffer reads and writes, we can use the state mutex to protect open and release too, and can now kfree() the log buffer on release. This allows us to perform the switch log notify without taking any extra locks. Because the buffer is only present while the file is open, we can use it to prevent multiple simultaneous openers.

Currently, read() on the sputrace buffer will only return data when the user buffer is exhausted. This may mean that we never see the end of the event log, unless we read() with exactly the right-sized buffer. This change makes sputrace_read not block if we have data ready to return.

Currently, sputrace will start logging to the event buffer before the log buffer has been open()ed. This results in a heap of "lost samples" warnings if the sputrace file hasn't yet been opened. Since the buffer is reset on open() anyway, there's no need to enable logging when no-one has opened the log. Because open clears the log, make it return EBUSY for mutliple open calls.

Support for new features needed by the PPC 405EZ boards introduced some errors in the MAL and EMAC feature handling. This broke 'allmodconfig' builds as CONFIG_PPC_DCR_NATIVE is not set for those.

This adds a common board file for almost all of the "simple" PowerPC 40x boards that exist today. This is intended to be a single place to add support for boards that do not differ in platform support from most of the evaluation boards that are used as reference platforms. Boards that have specific requirements or custom hardware setup should still have their own board.c file. The first board ported to this is the AMCC PowerPC 405EZ Acadia board.

When we skip unrecognized options in xfs_fs_remount we should just break out of the switch and not return because otherwise we may skip clearing the xfs-internal read-only flag. This will only show up on some operations like touch because most read-only checks are done by the VFS which thinks this filesystem is r/w. Eventually we should replace the XFS read-only flag with a helper that always checks the VFS flag to make sure they can never get out of sync. Bug reported and fix verified by Marcel Beister on #xfs. Bug fix verified by updated xfstests/189.
