This will let me chop the code size of several drivers right down. In many cases the actual private data is very useful and constant for a given host controller so being able to just pass it at probe time would be very useful indeed (eg with the via driver would could pass the udma clocking and reduce the code size, or with the AMD one the UDMA multiplier and the offset) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

We needed the VDSO symbols in the arch/ppc asm-offsets.c, and there were a few usages of _systemcfg still left lying around. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

When we created the instructions to read/write SPRs in xmon, we were setting up a ppc64-style procedure descriptor and calling that, which doesn't work in 32-bit. For 32-bit a function pointer just points to the instructions of the function. This fixes it to do the right thing for both 32-bit and 64-bit. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

32-bit SMP powermacs weren't booting with ARCH=powerpc because the boot cpu wasn't saving away the state of various control registers, but the secondary CPUs were loading them from the uninitialized state. This adds the necessary save-state call. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Since the udbg code in ppc64 has no ppc32 equivalent, move it straight over into arch/powerpc (and include/asm-powerpc for udbg.h). In time, we probably want to meld the various bits and pieces of 32-bit early debugging code into udbg, but for now only include it on CONFIG_PPC64=y builds. The only change during the move is to standardise the protecting #ifdef/#define in udbg.h, and move its banner comment above the initial #ifdef (which seems to be normal practice). Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64). Built for 32bit multiplatform (ARCH=powerpc).

Convert to sparsemem and remove all the discontigmem code in the process. This has a few advantages: - The old numa_memory_lookup_table can go away - All the arch specific discontigmem magic can go away We also remove the triple pass of memory properties and instead create a list of per node extents that we iterate through. A final cleanup would be to change our lmb code to store extents per node, then we can reuse that information in the numa code.

Remove an unused numa define and move a discontigmem specific define inside the relevant ifdef. I will submit a separate patch to remove them from other architectures, but the ppc64 patches to follow depend on this.

If we dont have permission to read some information from the hypervisor, lparcfg outputs a warning on the console. Now that lparcfg is world readable this is a problem. Dont warn in the case of H_Authority, remove some unnecessary function prototypes and fix whitespace damage in a structure as well.

This is a patch for discussion addressing some receive buffer growing issues. This is partially related to the thread "Possible BUG in IPv4 TCP window handling..." last week. Specifically it addresses the problem of an interaction between rcvbuf moderation (receiver autotuning) and rcv_ssthresh. The problem occurs when sending small packets to a receiver with a larger MTU. (A very common case I have is a host with a 1500 byte MTU sending to a host with a 9k MTU.) In such a case, the rcv_ssthresh code is targeting a window size corresponding to filling up the current rcvbuf, not taking into account that the new rcvbuf moderation may increase the rcvbuf size. One hunk makes rcv_ssthresh use tcp_rmem[2] as the size target rather than rcvbuf. The other changes the behavior when it overflows its memory bounds with in-order data so that it tries to grow rcvbuf (the same as with out-of-order data). These changes should help my problem of mixed MTUs, and should also help the case from last week's thread I think. (In both cases though you still need tcp_rmem[2] to be set much larger than the TCP window.) One question is if this is too aggressive at trying to increase rcvbuf if it's under memory stress.

This is an updated version of the RFC3465 ABC patch originally for Linux 2.6.11-rc4 by Yee-Ting Li. ABC is a way of counting bytes ack'd rather than packets when updating congestion control. The orignal ABC described in the RFC applied to a Reno style algorithm. For advanced congestion control there is little change after leaving slow start.

TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful. On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and 50Mbits/sec without TSO. The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window unless we have filled, as per RFC2861. This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full with something smarter that accounts for TSO.
