If we have two cache events that require different settings of the L2SEL bits in MMCR1 then we can not schedule those events simultaneously. Add logic to the constraint handling to express that.

PPC_PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO, PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG and PPC_PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG are PowerPC specific ptrace flags that use the watchpoint register. While they are targeted primarily towards BookE users, user-space applications such as GDB have started using them for BookS too. This patch enables the use of generic hardware breakpoint interfaces for these new flags. Apart from the usual benefits of using generic hw-breakpoint interfaces, these changes allow debuggers (such as GDB) to use a common set of ptrace flags for their watchpoint needs and allow more precise breakpoint specification (length of the variable can be specified).

The function initialize_flash_pde_data is only called four times. All four calls are in the function rtas_flash_init, and on the failure of any of the calls, remove_flash_pde is called on the third argument of each of the calls. There is thus no need for initialize_flash_pde_data to call remove_flash_pde on the same argument. remove_flash_pde kfrees the data field of its argument, and does not clear that field, so this amounts ot a possible double free. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ identifier f,free,a; parameter list[n] ps; type T; expression e; @@ f(ps,T a,...) { ... when any when != a = e if(...) { ... free(a); ... return ...; } ... when any } @@ identifier r.f,r.free; expression x,a; expression list[r.n] xs; @@ * x = f(xs,a,...); if (...) { ... free(a); ... return ...; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

There're couples of functions defined to print debugging messages during initializing P7IOC. However, we got bogus output from those functions like pe_info(). The problem here is that the message level (the first parameter to printk()) isn't printable and that caused the bogus output. The patch fixes the issue by merging __pe_printk() to the macro define_pe_printk_level() so that we can pass the message level directly to printk().

It is possible to configure a kernel which has xmon enabled, but has no udbg backend to provide IO. This can make xmon rather confusing, as it produces no output, blocks for two seconds, and then returns. As a last resort we can instead try to printk(), which may deadlock or otherwise crash, but tries quite hard not to.

Currently xmon_depth_to_print is static and global, but it's only ever used in xmon_show_stack(). At least with a modern compiler it's inlined, so there's no point in it being static, we could #define it but it's only used in one place. By reworking the logic we can drop count and just decrement the max value as a loop counter. Also switch to a while loop so we actually print no more than 64 frames as you'd expect based on the variable name.

We have two #defines that rename scanhex() and skipbl() to xmon_scanhex() and xmon_skipbl() - but no one ever uses those names.

The routines in start.c are only ever called from nonstdio.c, so if we move them in there they can become static which is nice. I suspect the idea behind the separation was that start.c could be replaced in order to build xmon in userland. If anyone still cares about doing that we could handle that with an ifdef or two.

I'm reviving an old patch from 2009 that adds support for GXT4000P and GXT6500P adapter to the gxt4500 driver. See threads at http://marc.info/?l=linux-fbdev-devel&m=124345080216952&w=2 and https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-June/072672.html for more details. This patch adds support for GXT4000P and GXT6500P cards found on some IBM pSeries machines. GXT4000P/6000P and GXT4500P/6500P couples are identical from software's point of view and are based on the same Raster Engine (RC1000), except for a different reference clock for the PLL. GXT6x00P models are equipped with an additional Geometry Engine (GT1000) but this driver doesn't use it.

Earlier without cpuidle framework on pseries, the native arch idle routine comprised of both snooze and nap states. smt_snooze_delay variable was used to delay the idle process entry to deeper idle state like nap. With the coming of cpuidle, this arch specific idle was replaced by two different idle routines, one for supporting snooze and other for nap. This enabled addition of more low level idle states on pseries in the future. On adopting the generic cpuidle framework for POWER systems, the decision of which idle state to choose from, given a predicted idle time is taken by the menu governor based on target_residency and exit_latency of the idle states. target_residency is the minimum time to be resident in that idle state. Exit_latency is time taken to exit out of idle state. Deeper the idle state, both the target residency and exit latency would be higher. In the current design, smt_snooze_delay is used as target_residency for the snooze state which is incorrect, as it is not the minimum but the maximum duration to be in snooze state. This would result in the governor in taking bad decision, as presently target_residency of nap < target_residency of snooze inspite of nap being deeper idle state. This patch aims to fix this problem by replacing the smt_snooze_delay loop in snooze state, with the need_resched() as the governor is aware of entry and exit of various idle transitions based on which next idle time prediction. The governor is intelligent enough to determine the idle state the needs to be transitioned to and maintains a whole of heuristics including io load, previous idle states predictions etc for the same, based on which idle state entry decision is taken. With this fix, of setting target_residency of snooze to 0 nap to smt_snooze_delay if the predicted idle time is less than smt_snooze_delay (target_residency of nap) value governor would pick snooze state, else nap. This adhers to the previous native idle design. Signed-off-by: Deepthi Dharwar <deepthi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

smt_snooze_delay was designed to delay idle loop's nap entry in the native idle code before it got ported over to use as part of the cpuidle framework. A -ve value assigned to smt_snooze_delay should result in busy looping, in other words disabling the entry to nap state. - https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2010-May/082450.html This particular functionality can be achieved currently by echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/state1/disable but it is broken when one assigns -ve value to the smt_snooze_delay variable either via sysfs entry or ppc64_cpu util. This patch aims to fix this, by disabling nap state when smt_snooze_delay variable is set to -ve value.

Remove the redundant target residency initialisation in pseries_cpuidle_driver_init(). This is currently over-writing the residency time updated as part of the static table, resulting in all the idle states having the same target residency of 100us which is incorrect.

It seems I accidentally switched the guard on linux/elf-fdpic.h from #ifdef __KERNEL__ to #ifndef __KERNEL__ when attempting to expand the guarded region to cover the elf_fdpic_params struct when doing the UAPI split - with the result that the struct became unavailable to kernel code. Move incorrectly guarded bits back to the kernelspace header. Whilst we're at it, the __KERNEL__ guards can be deleted as they're no longer necessary.
