Paul E. McKenney 4d084617fb sparc64: Prevent sparc64 from invoking irq handlers on offline CPUs
Make sparc64 refrain from clearing a given to-be-offlined CPU's bit in the
cpu_online_mask until it has processed pending irqs.  This change
prevents other CPUs from being blindsided by an apparently offline CPU
nevertheless changing globally visible state.

Based upon a report and initial patch by Friedrich Oslage.

The intention is to provide this facility for
__trigger_all_cpu_backtrace even if MAGIC_SYSRQ is not set.

The only part that should have MAGIC_SYSRQ ifdef protection is the
sparc_globalreg_op sysrq regitration and immediate code.

Ideally this could be simplified further such that we could pass

David S. Miller 1992663053 sparc64: Call xcall_deliver() directly in some cases.
For these cases the callers make sure:

1) The cpus indicated are online.

2) The current cpu is not in the list of indicated cpus.

Therefore we can pass a pointer to the mask directly.

One of the motivations in this transformation is to make use of
"&cpumask_of_cpu(cpu)" which evaluates to a pointer to constant
data in the kernel and thus takes up no stack space.

Hopefully someone in the future will change the interface of
arch_send_call_function_ipi() such that it passes a const cpumask_t
pointer so that this will optimize ever further.

Jens Axboe 3d44223327 Add generic helpers for arch IPI function calls
This adds kernel/smp.c which contains helpers for IPI function calls. In
addition to supporting the existing smp_call_function() in a more efficient
manner, it also adds a more scalable variant called smp_call_function_single()

The core of this is based on the x86-64 patch from Nick Piggin, lots of
changes since then. "Alan D. Brunelle" <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> has
contributed lots of fixes and suggestions as well. Also thanks to

David S. Miller 93dae5b70e sparc64: Add global register dumping facility.
When a cpu really is stuck in the kernel, it can be often
impossible to figure out which cpu is stuck where.  The
worst case is when the stuck cpu has interrupts disabled.

Therefore, implement a global cpu state capture that uses
SMP message interrupts which are not disabled by the
normal IRQ enable/disable APIs of the kernel.

As long as we can get a sysrq 'y' to the kernel, we can
get a dump.  Even if the console interrupt cpu is wedged,
we can trigger it from userspace using /proc/sysrq-trigger

The output is made compact so that this facility is more
useful on high cpu count systems, which is where this
facility will likely find itself the most useful :)

David S. Miller 64658743fd [SPARC64]: Remove most limitations to kernel image size.
Currently kernel images are limited to 8MB in size, and this causes
problems especially when enabling features that take up a lot of
kernel image space such as lockdep.

The code now will align the kernel image size up to 4MB and map that
many locked TLB entries.  So, the only practical limitation is the
number of available locked TLB entries which is 16 on Cheetah and 64
on pre-Cheetah sparc64 cpus.  Niagara cpus don't actually have hw
locked TLB entry support.  Rather, the hypervisor transparently
provides support for "locked" TLB entries since it runs with physical
addressing and does the initial TLB miss processing.

Fully utilizing this change requires some help from SILO, a patch for
which will be submitted to the maintainer.  Essentially, SILO will
only currently map up to 8MB for the kernel image and that needs to be
increased.

Note that neither this patch nor the SILO bits will help with network
booting.  The openfirmware code will only map up to a certain amount
of kernel image during a network boot and there isn't much we can to
about that other than to implemented a layered network booting
facility.  Solaris has this, and calls it "wanboot" and we may
implement something similar at some point.

David S. Miller 4f0234f4f9 [SPARC64]: Initial LDOM cpu hotplug support.
Only adding cpus is supports at the moment, removal
will come next.

When new cpus are configured, the machine description is
updated.  When we get the configure request we pass in a
cpu mask of to-be-added cpus to the mdesc CPU node parser
so it only fetches information for those cpus.  That code
also proceeds to update the SMT/multi-core scheduling bitmaps.

cpu_up() does all the work and we return the status back
over the DS channel.

CPUs via dr-cpu need to be booted straight out of the
hypervisor, and this requires:

1) A new trampoline mechanism.  CPUs are booted straight
   out of the hypervisor with MMU disabled and running in
   physical addresses with no mappings installed in the TLB.

   The new hvtramp.S code sets up the critical cpu state,
   installs the locked TLB mappings for the kernel, and
   turns the MMU on.  It then proceeds to follow the logic
   of the existing trampoline.S SMP cpu bringup code.

2) All calls into OBP have to be disallowed when domaining
   is enabled.  Since cpus boot straight into the kernel from
   the hypervisor, OBP has no state about that cpu and therefore
   cannot handle being invoked on that cpu.

   Luckily it's only a handful of interfaces which can be called
   after the OBP device tree is obtained.  For example, rebooting,
   halting, powering-off, and setting options node variables.

CPU removal support will require some infrastructure changes
here.  Namely we'll have to process the requests via a true
kernel thread instead of in a workqueue.  workqueues run on
a per-cpu thread, but when unconfiguring we might need to
force the thread to execute on another cpu if the current cpu
is the one being removed.  Removal of a cpu also causes the kernel
to destroy that cpu's workqueue running thread.

Another issue on removal is that we may have interrupts still
pointing to the cpu-to-be-removed.  So new code will be needed
to walk the active INO list and retarget those cpus as-needed.

Ingo Molnar 0437e109e1 sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing code
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.

this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.

(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)

under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

David S. Miller 22adb358e8 [SPARC64]: Eliminate NR_CPUS limitations.
Cheetah systems can have cpuids as large as 1023, although physical
systems don't have that many cpus.

Only three limitations existed in the kernel preventing arbitrary
NR_CPUS values:

1) dcache dirty cpu state stored in page->flags on
   D-cache aliasing platforms.  With some build time
   calculations and some build-time BUG checks on
   page->flags layout, this one was easily solved.

2) The cheetah XCALL delivery code could only handle
   a cpumask with up to 32 cpus set.  Some simple looping
   logic clears that up too.

3) thread_info->cpu was a u8, easily changed to a u16.

There are a few spots in the kernel that still put NR_CPUS
sized arrays on the kernel stack, but that's not a sparc64
specific problem.

David S. Miller 112f48716d [SPARC64]: Add clocksource/clockevents support.
I'd like to thank John Stul and others for helping
me along the way.

A lot of cleanups fell out of this.  For example, the get_compare()
tick_op was totally unused, so was deleted.  And the most often used
tick_op members were grouped together for cache-friendlyness.

The sparc64 TSC is given to the kernel as a one-shot timer.

tick_ops->init_timer() simply turns off the privileged bit in
the tick register (when possible), and disables the interrupt
by setting bit 63 in the compare register.  The ->disable_irq()
op also sets this bit.

tick_ops->add_compare() is changed to:

1) Add the given delta to "tick" not to "compare"
2) Return a boolean which, if true, means that the tick
   value read after writing the compare value was found
   to have incremented past the initial tick value.  This
   mirrors logic used in the HPET driver's ->next_event()
   method.

Each tick_ops implementation also now provides a name string.
And we feed this into the clocksource and clockevents layers.
