Currently ppc64 has two mm_structs for the kernel, init_mm and also

instead restricting vmallocs to the lower 1TB of the init_mm's range and
placing io mappings in the upper 1TB. This simplifies the code in a number
of places and eliminates an unecessary set of pagetables. It also tweaks
the unmap/free path a little, allowing us to remove the unmap_im_area() set
of page table walkers, replacing them with unmap_vm_area().

Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
causes huge performance increases in thread creation.
The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
kernel.
The problem is twofold:
1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
the last search ended. Before the change new areas were always
searched from the base address on.
So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
large and available for larger requests.
2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of
1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.
The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
current free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared
against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.
The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
requires 0.7s system time.
Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.
Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.
The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
usage side.
Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
__smp_processor_id.
In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:
- smp_processor_id(): debug variant.
- raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.
There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:
- debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
smp_processor_id().
Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or
clarified.
I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:
{SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}
I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other
architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64. It does the following things:
- Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
exist with the same name as a child node of the parent. We now
simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
/proc with random result...
- Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
buggy and didn't always work anyway.
- Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
dentry and inode cache bloat.
This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

This patch strips those bogus zero's from the node full path when

On PPC64, we keep track of when we need to update jiffies (and the
variables used to calculate the time of day) based on the time base.
If the time base frequence is sufficiently high compared to the
processor clock frequency, then it is possible for the time of day
variables to be corrupted at the time of the first decrementer interrupt
we take. This became obvious on a legacy iSeries where the time base
frequency is the same as the processor clock.
This one line patch fixes the initialisation so that the time of day
variables and the indicator we use to tell when updates are due are

gcc-4.0 generates altivec code implicitly when -mcpu indicates an
altivec capable CPU which is not suitable for the kernel. However, we
used to set -mcpu=970 when CONFIG_ALTIVEC was set because a gcc-3.x bug
prevented from using -maltivec along with -mcpu=power4, thus prevented
building the RAID6 altivec code.
This patch fixes all of this by testing for the gcc version. If 4.0 or
later, just normally use -mcpu=power4 and let the RAID6 code add
-maltivec to the few files it needs to be compiled with altivec support.
For 3.x, we still use -mcpu=970 to work around the above problem, which
is fine as 3.x will never implicitly generate altivec code.
The Makefile hackery may not be the most lovely, I welcome anybody more
skilled than me to improve it.

It turns out that our current __hash_page code will do a very hot busy-wait
loop waiting on _PAGE_BUSY to be cleared. It even does ldarx/stdcx in the
loop, which will bounce reservations around like crazy if there's more than
one CPU spinning on the same PTE (or even another PTE in the same
reservation granule). The end result is that each fault takes longer when
there's contention, which in turn increases the chance of another thread
hitting the same fault and also piling up. Not pretty.
There's two options here:
1. Do an out-of-line busy loop a'la spinlocks with just loads (no
reserves)
2. Just bail and refault if needed.
(2) makes sense here: If the PTE is busy, chances are it's in flux anyway
and the other code path making a change might just be ready to hash it.
This fixes a stampede seen on a large-ish system where a multithreaded
HPC app faults in the same text pages on several cpus at the same time.

When I tried Ben's patches to the powermac sound driver on my G5, I found
that it was taking enormous numbers of sound DMA transmit interrupts. This
turned out to be because it was incorrectly configured as level-sensitive
instead of edge-sensitive, which in turn was because the code that parses
the interrupt tree that Open Firmware gives us was incorrectly assigning
another device the same irq number as the sound DMA transmit interrupt
(i.e. 1).
This patch fixes the problem, in a somewhat quick and dirty way for now,
but one which will work for all the machines we currently run on.
Ultimately Ben and I want to do something more general and robust, but this
should go in for 2.6.12.

This patch from Roland adds a PT_NOTE section to both 32 and 64 bits vDSOs
to expose the kernel version to glibc, thus avoiding a uname syscall on
every launch. This is equivalent to the patches Roland posted already for
x86 and x86-64.
Note: the 64 bits .note is actually using the 32 bits format. This is
normal. The ELF spec specifies a different format for 64 bits .note, but
for some reason, this was never properly implemented, the core dumps for
example are all using 32 bits format .note, and binutils cannot even read a
64 bits format .note. Talking to our toolchain folks, they think we'd
rather stick to 32 bits format .note everywhere and get the spec fixed some
day ...

When the kernel creates a signal frame on the user stack, it puts the
old stack pointer value at the beginning so that the signal frame is
linked into the chain of stack frames like any other frame.
Unfortunately, for 32-bit processes we are writing the old stack
pointer as a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit value, and the process
sees that as a null pointer, since it only looks at the first 32 bits,
which are zero since ppc is bigendian and the stack pointer is below
4GB. This bug is in SLES9 and RHEL4 too, hence the ccs.
This patch fixes the bug by making the signal code write the old stack
pointer as a u32 instead of an unsigned long.

We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments,
but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually
invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that.
While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it
take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made,
because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall.
Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for
the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register
rather than only returning a single register.
Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'.

ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer being
called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them.
The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted elsewhere
and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the
motions of freeing nothing. Since ia64 does need a special case, restore to
ppc64 the special case of skipping them.
The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though it
probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's
been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from another
region into the hugetlb region.
In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than in
the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the page
at the bottom is larger. Here we need to scale down each addr before passing
it to the standard free_pgd_range. Was about to write a hugely_scaled_down
macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose. Fixed
off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range.
Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64. Make sure the
vma-gathering loop in free_pgtables cannot join a hugepage_only_range to any
other (safe to join huges? probably but don't bother).

During some code inspection using gcc 4.0 I noticed a stack frame was being
created for a number of functions that didnt require it. For example:
c0000000000df944 <._spin_unlock>:
c0000000000df944: fb e1 ff f0 std r31,-16(r1)
c0000000000df948: f8 21 ff c1 stdu r1,-64(r1)
c0000000000df94c: 7c 3f 0b 78 mr r31,r1

c0000000000df954: e8 21 00 00 ld r1,0(r1)
c0000000000df958: 38 00 00 00 li r0,0

c0000000000df964: 4e 80 00 20 blr
It turns out we are adding -fno-omit-frame-pointer to ppc64 which is
causing the above behaviour. Removing that flag results in much better
code:
c0000000000d5b30 <._spin_unlock>:
c0000000000d5b30: 7c 20 04 ac lwsync
c0000000000d5b34: 38 00 00 00 li r0,0

This patch adds detection of the Altivec capability of the CPU via the
firmware in addition to the cpu table. This allows newer CPUs that aren't
in the table to still have working altivec support in the kernel.
It also fixes a problem where if a CPU isn't recognized as having altivec
features, and takes an altivec unavailable exception due to userland
issuing altivec instructions, the kernel would happily enable it and
context switch the registers ... but not all of them (it would basically
forget vrsave). With this patch, the kernel will refuse to enable altivec
when the feature isn't detected for the CPU (SIGILL).

This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel
to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable
segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use
get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to
after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so
that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before
create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the
proper address).
While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at
their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where
they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should be
possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

This patch hacks the current PowerMac Alsa driver to add some basic support
of analog sound output to some desktop G5s. It has severe limitations
though:
- Only 44100Khz 16 bits
- Only work on G5 models using a TAS3004 analog code, that is early
single CPU desktops and all dual CPU desktops at this date, but none
of the more recent ones like iMac G5.
- It does analog only, no digital/SPDIF support at all, no native
AC3 support
Better support would require a complete rewrite of the driver (which I am
working on, but don't hold your breath), to properly support the diversity
of apple sound HW setup, including dual codecs, several i2s busses, all the
new codecs used in the new machines, proper clock switching with digital,
etc etc etc...
This patch applies on top of the other PowerMac sound patches I posted in
the past couple of days (new powerbook support and sleep fixes).
Note: This is a FAQ entry for PowerMac sound support with TI codecs: They
have a feature called "DRC" which is automatically enabled for the internal
speaker (at least when auto mute control is enabled) which will cause your
sound to fade out to nothing after half a second of playback if you don't
set a proper "DRC Range" in the mixer. So if you have a problem like that,
check alsamixer and raise your DRC Range to something reasonable.
Note2: This patch will also add auto-mute of the speaker when line-out jack
is used on some earlier desktop G4s (and on the G5) in addition to the
headphone jack. If that behaviour isn't what you want, just disable
auto-muting and use the manual mute controls in alsamixer.

My previous patch that added sleep support for uninorth-agp and some AGP
"off" stuff in radeonfb and aty128fb is breaking some configs. More
specifically, it has problems with rage128 setups since the DRI code for
these in X doesn't properly re-enable AGP on wakeup or console switch
(unlike the radeon DRM).
This patch fixes the problem for pmac once for all by using a different
approach. The AGP driver "registers" special suspend/resume callbacks with
some arch code that the fbdev's can later on call to suspend and resume
AGP, making sure it's resumed back in the same state it was when suspended.
This is platform specific for now. It would be too complicated to try to
do a generic implementation of this at this point due to all sort of weird
things going on with AGP on other architectures. We'll re-work that whole
problem cleanly once we finally merge fbdev's and DRI.
In the meantime, please apply this patch which brings back some r128 based
laptops into working condition as far as system sleep is concerned.
