2009-11-24x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: use a private structure rather than the ACPI MCFG oneBjorn Helgaas
This adds a struct pci_mmcfg_region with a little more information than the struct acpi_mcfg_allocation used previously. The acpi_mcfg structure is defined by the spec, so we can't change it. To begin with, struct pci_mmcfg_region is basically the same as the ACPI MCFG version, but future patches will add more information.

2009-11-24x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: reject MMCONFIG apertures at address zeroBjorn Helgaas
Since all MMCONFIG regions go through pci_mmconfig_add(), we can test the address once there. If the caller supplies an address of zero, we never insert it in the pci_mmcfg_config[] table, so no need to test it elsewhere.

2009-11-24x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: centralize MCFG structure managementBjorn Helgaas
This patch encapsulate pci_mmcfg_config[] updates. All alloc/free is now done in pci_mmconfig_add() and free_all_mcfg(), so all updates to pci_mmcfg_config[] and pci_mmcfg_config_num are in those two functions. This replaces the previous sequence of extend_mmcfg(), fill_one_mmcfg() with the single pci_mmconfig_add() interface. This interface is currently static but will eventually be used in the host bridge hot-add path.

2009-11-24x86/PCI: remove early PCI pr_debug statementsAlex Chiang
commit db635adc turned -DDEBUG for x86/pci on when CONFIG_PCI_DEBUG is set. In general, I agree with that change. However, it exposes a bunch of very low level PCI debugging in the early x86 path, such as: 0 reading 2 from a: ffff 1 reading 2 from a: ffff 2 reading 2 from a: ffff 3 reading 2 from a: 300 3 reading 2 from 0: 1002 3 reading 2 from 2: 515e These statements add a lot of noise to the boot and aren't likely to be necessary even when handling random upstream bug reports. [In contrast, statements such as these: pci 0000:02:04.0: found [14e4:164a] class 000200 header type 00 pci 0000:02:04.0: reg 10: [mem 0xf8000000-0xf9ffffff 64bit] pci 0000:02:04.0: reg 30: [mem 0x00000000-0x0001ffff pref] are indeed useful when remote debugging users' machines] Remove the noisy printks and save electrons everywhere.

2009-11-24[ACPI/CPUFREQ] Introduce bios_limit per cpu cpufreq sysfs interfaceThomas Renninger
This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for similar use-cases. Why is this needed: Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited. People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have happened by: - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq - thermal limitations - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to: - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits frequency - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs. While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations. All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch: - powernow-k8 - powernow-k7 - acpi-cpufreq Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1) via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit: # echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2600000 2600000 2200000 2200000 # #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations # cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit 2600000 2600000 2800000 2800000 # #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation CC: Pallipadi Venkatesh <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> CC: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> CC: davej@codemonkey.org.uk CC: linux@dominikbrodowski.net Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

2009-11-24[CPUFREQ] Enable ACPI PDC handshake for VIA/Centaur CPUsHarald Welte
In commit 0de51088e6a82bc8413d3ca9e28bbca2788b5b53, we introduced the use of acpi-cpufreq on VIA/Centaur CPU's by removing a vendor check for VENDOR_INTEL. However, as it turns out, at least the Nano CPU's also need the PDC (processor driver capabilities) handshake in order to activate the methods required for acpi-cpufreq. Since arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc() contains another vendor check for Intel, the PDC is not initialized on VIA CPU's. The resulting behavior of a current mainline kernel on such systems is: acpi-cpufreq loads and it indicates CPU frequency changes. However, the CPU stays at a single frequency This trivial patch ensures that init_intel_pdc() is called on Intel and VIA/Centaur CPU's alike.

The validate_event() was failing on valid event combinations. The function was assuming that if x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it meant error. But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and 0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function returns a negative value. Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups because the event->pmu was not set until after hw_perf_event_init().

2009-11-24ARM: dma-mapping: switch ARMv7 DMA mappings to retain 'memory' attributeRussell King
On ARMv7, it is invalid to map the same physical address multiple times with different memory types. Since system RAM is already mapped as 'memory', subsequent remapping of it must retain this attribute. However, DMA memory maps it as "strongly ordered". Fix this by introducing 'pgprot_dmacoherent()' which provides the necessary page table bits for DMA mappings.

This is a subset of what goes on in __dma_alloc(), and there is no reason why dma_alloc_writecombine() should not be given the same treatment (except, maybe, that IXP23xx doesn't use it.)

2009-11-24sh: Minor optimisations to FPU handlingStuart Menefy
A number of small optimisations to FPU handling, in particular: - move the task USEDFPU flag from the thread_info flags field (which is accessed asynchronously to the thread) to a new status field, which is only accessed by the thread itself. This allows locking to be removed in most cases, or can be reduced to a preempt_lock(). This mimics the i386 behaviour. - move the modification of regs->sr and thread_info->status flags out of save_fpu() to __unlazy_fpu(). This gives the compiler a better chance to optimise things, as well as making save_fpu() symmetrical with restore_fpu() and init_fpu(). - implement prepare_to_copy(), so that when creating a thread, we can unlazy the FPU prior to copying the thread data structures. Also make sure that the FPU is disabled while in the kernel, in particular while booting, and for newly created kernel threads, In a very artificial benchmark, the execution time for 2500000 context switches was reduced from 50 to 45 seconds.

2009-11-24sh: Improve performance of SH4 versions of copy/clear_user_highpageStuart Menefy
The previous implementation of clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage checked to see if there was a D-cache aliasing issue between the user and kernel mappings of a page, but if there was they always did a flush with writeback on the dirtied kernel alias. However as we now have the ability to map a page into kernel space with the same cache colour as the user mapping, there is no need to write back this data. Currently we also invalidate the kernel alias as a precaution, however I'm not sure if this is actually required. Also correct the definition of FIX_CMAP_END so that the mappings created by kmap_coherent() are actually at the correct colour.

2009-11-24sh: add sleazy FPU optimizationGiuseppe CAVALLARO
sh port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature currently implemented for some architectures such us i386. Right now the SH kernel has a 100% lazy fpu behaviour. This is of course great for applications that have very sporadic or no FPU use. However for very frequent FPU users... you take an extra trap every context switch. The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: after 5 consecutive context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context gets restored every context switch. After 256 switches, this is reset and the 100% lazy behavior is returned. Tests with LMbench showed no regression. I saw a little improvement due to the prefetching (~2%). The tests below also show that, with this sLeazy patch, indeed, the number of FPU exceptions is reduced. To test this. I hacked the lat_ctx LMBench to use the FPU a little more. sLeasy implementation =========================================== switch_to calls | 79326 sleasy calls | 42577 do_fpu_state_restore calls| 59232 restore_fpu calls | 59032 Exceptions: 0x800 (FPU disabled ): 16604 100% Leazy (default implementation) =========================================== switch_to calls | 79690 do_fpu_state_restore calls | 53299 restore_fpu calls | 53101 Exceptions: 0x800 (FPU disabled ): 53273 Signed-off-by: Giuseppe Cavallaro <peppe.cavallaro@st.com> Signed-off-by: Stuart Menefy <stuart.menefy@st.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
