2009-12-09x86-64, paravirt: Call set_iopl_mask() on 64 bitsH. Peter Anvin
set_iopl_mask() is a no-op on 64 bits, but it is also a paravirt hook, so call it even on 64 bits. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <1260403316-5679-3-git-send-email-brgerst@gmail.com>
2009-12-09x86-32: Avoid pipeline serialization in PTREGSCALL1 and 2H. Peter Anvin
In the PTREGSCALL1 and 2 macros, we can trivially avoid an unnecessary pipeline serialization, so do so. In PTREGSCALLS3 this is much less clear-cut since we have to push a new value to the stack. Leave it alone for now assuming it is as good as it is going to be; may want to check on Atom or another in-order x86 to see if we can do better. Signed-off-by: H.

2009-12-09OMAP: Add support for VRFB rotation engineTomi Valkeinen
VRFB rotation engine is a block in OMAP2/3 that offers 12 independent contexts that can be used for framebuffer rotation. Each context has a backend area of real memory, where it stores the pixels in undisclosed format. This memory is offered to users via 4 virtual memory areas, which see the same memory area in different rotation angles (0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees).

2009-12-09OMAP: Add VRAM managerTomi Valkeinen
Add a Video RAM manager for OMAP 2 and 3 platforms. VRAM manager is used to allocate large continuous blocks of SDRAM or SRAM. The features VRAM manager has that are missing from dma_alloc_* functions are: - Support for OMAP2's SRAM - Allocate without ioremapping - Allocate at defined physical addresses - Allows larger VRAM area and larger allocations The upcoming DSS2 uses VRAM manager. VRAM area size can be defined in kernel config, board file or with kernel boot parameters. Board file definition overrides kernel config, and boot parameter overrides kernel config and board file.

2009-12-09sparc64: Fix overly strict range type matching for PCI devices.David S. Miller
When we are trying to see if a range property entry applies to a given address, we are overly strict about the type. We should only allow I/O ranges for I/O addresses, and only allow CONFIG space ranges for CONFIG space address. However for MEM ranges, they come in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. And a lack of an exact match is OK if the range is 32-bit and the address is 64-bit. We can assign a 64-bit address properly into a 32-bit parent range just fine. So allow it.

2009-12-09hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering themFrederic Weisbecker
Currently, when ptrace needs to modify a breakpoint, like disabling it, changing its address, type or len, it calls modify_user_hw_breakpoint(). This latter will perform the heavy and racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new one. This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle. So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it after if necessary.

2009-12-09m68k: rename global variable vmalloc_end to m68k_vmalloc_endTejun Heo
On SUN3, m68k defines macro VMALLOC_END as unsigned long variable vmalloc_end which is adjusted from mmu_emu_init(). This becomes problematic if a local variables vmalloc_end is defined in some function (not very unlikely) and VMALLOC_END is used in the function - the function thinks its referencing the global VMALLOC_END value but would be referencing its own local vmalloc_end variable. Rename the global variable to m68k_vmlloc_end which is much less likely to be used as local variable name.

2009-12-09powerpc/pseries: Track previous CPPR values to correctly EOI interruptsMark Nelson
At the moment when we EOI an interrupt we set the CPPR back to 0xFF regardless of its previous value. This could lead to problems if we take an interrupt with a priority of 5, but before EOIing it we get an IPI which has a priority of 4. The problem is that at the moment when we EOI the IPI we will set the CPPR to 0xFF, but it should really be set back to 5 (the previous priority). To keep track of the previous CPPR values we create the xics_cppr structure that has an array for CPPR values and an index pointing to the current priority. This can easily grow if new priorities get added in the future. This will also be useful because the partition adjunct option of upcoming machines will update the H_XIRR hcall to accept the CPPR as a parameter.

2009-12-09powerpc/pseries: Correct pseries/dlpar.c build break without CONFIG_SMPNathan Fontenot
The recent patch to add cpu offline/online as part of the DLPAR process for pseries causes a build break if CONFIG_SMP is not defined. Original patch here; http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-November/078299.html This corrects the build break by moving the online_node_cpus and offline_node_cpus under the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE portions of dlpar.c. This patch also slightly modifies the online_node_cpus and offline_node_cpus routines to prepend dlpar_ to the them and make them static. These two routine are only used in the dlpar add/remove of cpus and these changes should help clarify that.

2009-12-09powerpc/pseries: Serialize cpu hotplug operations during deactivate Vs ↵Gautham R Shenoy
deallocate Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation process comprises of two steps: - Set the indicators and to update the device tree with DLPAR node information. - Online/offline the allocated/deallocated CPU. This is achieved by writing to the sysfs tunables "probe" during allocation and "release" during deallocation. At the sametime, the userspace can independently online/offline the CPUs of the system using the sysfs tunable "online". It is quite possible that when a userspace tool offlines a CPU for the purpose of deallocation and is in the process of updating the device tree, some other userspace tool could bring the CPU back online by writing to the "online" sysfs tunable thereby causing the deallocate process to fail. The solution to this is to serialize writes to the "probe/release" sysfs tunable with the writes to the "online" sysfs tunable. This patch employs a mutex to provide this serialization, which is a no-op on all architectures except PPC_PSERIES Signed-off-by: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-12-09sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release filesNathan Fontenot
Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2 of the patch. In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system. This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding and removing cpus to/from the system. This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts from writes to the sysfs files. The creation and use of these files is regulated by the CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the capability will have the files created.

2009-12-09powerpc/pseries: Kernel DLPAR InfrastructureNathan Fontenot
The Dynamic Logical Partitioning capabilities of the powerpc pseries platform allows for the addition and removal of resources (i.e. CPU's, memory, and PCI devices) from a partition. The removal of a resource involves removing the resource's node from the device tree and then returning the resource to firmware via the rtas set-indicator call. To add a resource, it is first obtained from firmware via the rtas set-indicator call and then a new device tree node is created using the ibm,configure-coinnector rtas call and added to the device tree. This patch provides the kernel DLPAR infrastructure in a new filed named dlpar.c. The functionality provided is for acquiring and releasing a resource from firmware and the parsing of information returned from the ibm,configure-connector rtas call. Additionally this exports the pSeries reconfiguration notifier chain so that it can be invoked when device tree updates are made.
