Do not call prom exit prom_panic. It clears the screen and the exit message is lost. On some (or all?) pmacs it causes another crash when OF tries to print the date and time in its banner. Set of_platform earlier to catch more prom_panic() calls. Signed-off-by:

The address of variable val in prom_init_stdout is passed to prom_getprop. prom_getprop casts the pointer to u32 and passes it to call_prom in the hope that OpenFirmware stores something there. But the pointer is truncated in the lower bits and the expected value is stored somewhere else. In my testing I had a stackpointer of 0x0023e6b4. val was at offset 120, wich has address 0x0023e72c. But the value passed to OF was 0x0023e728. c00000000040b710: 3b 01 00 78 addi r24,r1,120 ... c00000000040b754: 57 08 00 38 rlwinm r8,r24,0,0,28 ... c00000000040b784: 80 01 00 78 lwz r0,120(r1) ... c00000000040b798: 90 1b 00 0c stw r0,12(r27) ... The stackpointer came from 32bit code. The chain was yaboot -> zImage -> vmlinux PowerMac OpenFirmware does appearently not handle the ELF sections correctly. If yaboot was compiled in /usr/src/packages/BUILD/lilo-10.1.1/yaboot, then the stackpointer is unaligned. But the stackpointer is correct if yaboot is compiled in /tmp/yaboot. This bug triggered since 2.6.15, now prom_getprop is an inline function. gcc clears the lower bits, instead of just clearing the upper 32 bits. Signed-off-by:

This patch is layered on top of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM and is patterned after direct mapping of LS. This patch allows mmap() of the following regions: "mfc", which represents the area from [0x3000 - 0x3fff]; "cntl", which represents the area from [0x4000 - 0x4fff]; "signal1" which begins at offset 0x14000; "signal2" which begins at offset 0x1c000. The signal1 & signal2 files may be mmap()'d by regular user processes. The cntl and mfc file, on the other hand, may only be accessed if the owning process has CAP_SYS_RAWIO, because they have the potential to confuse the kernel with regard to parallel access to the same files with regular file operations: the kernel always holds a spinlock when accessing registers in these areas to serialize them, which can not be guaranteed with user mmaps, Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a new file called 'mfc' to each spufs directory. The file accepts DMA commands that are a subset of what would be legal DMA commands for problem state register access. Upon reading the file, a bitmask is returned with the completed tag groups set. The file is meant to be used from an abstraction in libspe that is added by a different patch. From the kernel perspective, this means a process can now offload a memory copy from or into an SPE local store without having to run code on the SPE itself. The transfer will only be performed while the SPE is owned by one thread that is waiting in the spu_run system call and the data will be transferred into that thread's address space, independent of which thread started the transfer.

An SPU does not have a way to implement system calls itself, but it can create intercepts to the kernel. This patch uses the method defined by the JSRE interface for C99 host library calls from an SPU to implement Linux system calls. It uses the reserved SPU stop code 0x2104 for this, using the structure layout and syscall numbers for ppc64-linux. I'm still undecided wether it is better to have a list of allowed syscalls or a list of forbidden syscalls, since we can't allow an SPU to call all syscalls that are defined for ppc64-linux. This patch implements the easier choice of them, with a blacklist that only prevents an SPU from calling anything that interacts with its own execution, e.g fork, execve, clone, vfork, exit, spu_run and spu_create and everything that deals with signals.

powerpc currently declares some of its own system calls in <asm/unistd.h>, but not all of them. That place also contains remainders of the now almost unused kernel syscall hack. - Add a new <asm/syscalls.h> with clean declarations - Include that file from every source that implements one of these - Get rid of old declarations in <asm/unistd.h> This patch is required as a base for implementing system calls from an SPU, but also makes sense as a general cleanup.

Apparently we have found a bug in the CPU that causes external interrupts to sometimes get disabled indefinitely. This adds a workaround for the problem. Signed-off-by:

The current interrupt controller setup on Cell is done in a rather ad-hoc way with device tree properties that are not standardized at all. In an attempt to do something that follows the OF standard (or at least the IBM extensions to it) more closely, we have now come up with this patch. It still provides a fallback to the old behaviour when we find older firmware, that hack can not be removed until the existing customer installations have upgraded.

So that we can use firmware_has_feature() in a BUG_ON() and have the compiler elide the code entirely if the feature can never be set, change firmware_has_feature to a macro. Unfortunate, but necessary at least until GCC bug #26724 is fixed. Signed-off-by:

Change BUG_ON and WARN_ON to give the compiler a chance to perform compile-time optimsations. Depending on the complexity of the condition, the compiler may not do this very well, so if it's important check the object code. Current GCC's (4.x) produce good code as long as the condition does not include a function call, including a static inline. Signed-off-by:

Christoph noticed that sparse warned about all the enum tags in cuptable.h that had values that required them to be type log. (enum tags are ints according to the standard.) This patch attempts to fix them in the least intrusive way possible by turning them all into #defines except for the 32 bit CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE and CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS which are hard to construct that way. This works because these last two contain no bits above 2^31. Signed-off-by:

You can see a similar version that uses a multiply for the last few steps at http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#CountBitsSetParallel whch refers to "Software Optimization Guide for AMD Athlon 64 and Opteron Processors" http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/25112.PDF It's section 8.6, "Efficient Implementation of Population-Count Function in 32-bit Mode", pages 179-180. It uses the name that I am more familiar with, "popcount" (population count), although "Hamming weight" also makes sense. Anyway, the proof of correctness proceeds as follows: b = a - ((a >> 1) & 0x55555555); c = (b & 0x33333333) + ((b >> 2) & 0x33333333); d = (c + (c >> 4)) & 0x0f0f0f0f; #if SLOW_MULTIPLY e = d + (d >> 8) f = e + (e >> 16); return f & 63; #else /* Useful if multiply takes at most 4 cycles */ return (d * 0x01010101) >> 24; #endif The input value a can be thought of as 32 1-bit fields each holding their own hamming weight. Now look at it as 16 2-bit fields. Each 2-bit field a1..a0 has the value 2*a1 + a0. This can be converted into the hamming weight of the 2-bit field a1+a0 by subtracting a1. That's what the (a >> 1) & mask subtraction does. Since there can be no borrows, you can just do it all at once. Enumerating the 4 possible cases: 0b00 = 0 -> 0 - 0 = 0 0b01 = 1 -> 1 - 0 = 1 0b10 = 2 -> 2 - 1 = 1 0b11 = 3 -> 3 - 1 = 2 The next step consists of breaking up b (made of 16 2-bir fields) into even and odd halves and adding them into 4-bit fields. Since the largest possible sum is 2+2 = 4, which will not fit into a 4-bit field, the 2-bit ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "which will not fit into a 2-bit field" fields have to be masked before they are added. After this point, the masking can be delayed. Each 4-bit field holds a population count from 0..4, taking at most 3 bits. These numbers can be added without overflowing a 4-bit field, so we can compute c + (c >> 4), and only then mask off the unwanted bits. This produces d, a number of 4 8-bit fields, each in the range 0..8. From this point, we can shift and add d multiple times without overflowing an 8-bit field, and only do a final mask at the end. The number to mask with has to be at least 63 (so that 32 on't be truncated), but can also be 128 or 255. The x86 has a special encoding for signed immediate byte values -128..127, so the value of 255 is slower. On other processors, a special "sign extend byte" instruction might be faster. On a processor with fast integer multiplies (Athlon but not P4), you can reduce the final few serially dependent instructions to a single integer multiply. Consider d to be 3 8-bit values d3, d2, d1 and d0, each in the range 0..8. The multiply forms the partial products: d3 d2 d1 d0 d3 d2 d1 d0 d3 d2 d1 d0 + d3 d2 d1 d0 ---------------------- e3 e2 e1 e0 Where e3 = d3 + d2 + d1 + d0. e2, e1 and e0 obviously cannot generate any carries.
