David S. Miller b4d1b82578 [SPARC64]: Fix powering off on SMP.
Doing a "SUNW,stop-self" firmware call on the other cpus is not the
correct thing to do when dropping into the firmware for a halt,
reboot, or power-off.

For now, just do nothing to quiet the other cpus, as the system should
be quiescent enough.  Later we may decide to implement smp_send_stop()
like the other SMP platforms do.

Based upon a report from Christopher Zimmermann.

David S. Miller 688cb30bdc [SPARC64]: Eliminate PCI IOMMU dma mapping size limit.
The hairy fast allocator in the sparc64 PCI IOMMU code
has a hard limit of 256 pages.  Certain devices can
exceed this when performing very large I/Os.

So replace with a more simple allocator, based largely
upon the arch/ppc64/kernel/iommu.c code.

David S. Miller c9c1083074 [SPARC64]: Fix boot failures on SunBlade-150
The sequence to move over to the Linux trap tables from
the firmware ones needs to be more air tight.  It turns
out that to be %100 safe we do need to be able to translate
OBP mappings in our TLB miss handlers early.

In order not to eat up a lot of kernel image memory with
static page tables, just use the translations array in
the OBP TLB miss handlers.  That solves the bulk of the
problem.

Furthermore, to make sure the OBP TLB miss path will work
even before the fixed MMU globals are loaded, explicitly
load %g1 to TLB_SFSR at the beginning of the i-TLB and
d-TLB miss handlers.

To ease the OBP TLB miss walking of the prom_trans[] array,
we sort it then delete all of the non-OBP entries in there
(for example, there are entries for the kernel image itself
which we're not interested in at all).

We also save about 32K of kernel image size with this change.
Not a bad side effect :-)

There are still some reasons why trampoline.S can't use the
setup_trap_table() yet.  The most noteworthy are:

1) OBP boots secondary processors with non-bias'd stack for
   some reason.  This is easily fixed by using a small bootup
   stack in the kernel image explicitly for this purpose.

2) Doing a firmware call via the normal C call prom_set_trap_table()
   goes through the whole OBP enter/exit sequence that saves and
   restores OBP and Linux kernel state in the MMUs.  This path
   unfortunately does a "flush %g6" while loading up the OBP locked
   TLB entries for the firmware call.

   If we setup the %g6 in the trampoline.S code properly, that
   is in the PAGE_OFFSET linear mapping, but we're not on the
   kernel trap table yet so those addresses won't translate properly.

   One idea is to do a by-hand firmware call like we do in the
   early bootup code and elsewhere here in trampoline.S  But this
   fails as well, as aparently the secondary processors are not
   booted with OBP's special locked TLB entries loaded.  These
   are necessary for the firwmare to processes TLB misses correctly
   up until the point where we take over the trap table.

This does need to be resolved at some point.

David S. Miller b1b510aa28 [SPARC64]: Fix net booting on Ultra5
We were not doing alignment properly when remapping the kernel image.

What we want is a 4MB aligned physical address to map at KERNBASE.
Mistakedly we were 4MB aligning the virtual address where the kernel
initially sits, that's wrong.

Instead, we should PAGE align the virtual address, then 4MB align the
physical address result the prom gives to us.

David S. Miller 5d8e1b181c [SPARC64]: Fix Ultra5, Ultra60, et al. boot failures.
On the boot processor, we need to do the move onto the Linux trap
table a little bit differently else we'll take unhandlable faults in
the firmware address space.

Previously we would do the following:

1) Disable PSTATE_IE in %pstate.
2) Set %tba by hand to sparc64_ttable_tl0
3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global
   trap registers.
4) Call prom_set_traptable()

That doesn't work very well actually with the way we boot the kernel
VM these days.  It worked by luck on many systems because the firmware
accesses for the prom_set_traptable() call happened to be loaded into
the TLB already, something we cannot assume.

So the new scheme is this:

1) Clear PSTATE_IE in %pstate and set %pil to 15
2) Call prom_set_traptable()
3) Initialize alternate, mmu, and interrupt global
   trap registers.

and this works quite well.  This sequence has been moved into a
callable function in assembler named setup-trap_table().  The idea is
that eventually trampoline.S can use this code as well.  That isn't
possible currently due to some complications, but eventually we should
be able to do it.

Thanks to Meelis Roos for the Ultra5 boot failure report.

David S. Miller 9ad98c5b44 [SPARC64]: Fix initrd when net booting.
By allocating early memory for the firmware page tables, we
can write over the beginning of the initrd image.

So what we do now is:

1) Read in firmware translations table while still on the
   firmware's trap table.
2) Switch to Linux trap table.
3) Init bootmem.
4) Build firmware page tables using __alloc_bootmem().

And this keeps the initrd from being clobbered.

This change was motivated by discovering that the D-cache on

Cheetah error handlers were assuming a 32K size.

There are still some pieces of code that are hard coding things and
will need to be fixed up at some point.

to run with interrupts disabled, and when the trap occurs at trap
level > 1 log the event via a counter displayed in /proc/cpuinfo.

David S. Miller 5642530651 [SPARC64]: Add CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support.
The trick is that we do the kernel linear mapping TLB miss starting
with an instruction sequence like this:

	ba,pt		%xcc, kvmap_load
	 xor		%g2, %g4, %g5

succeeded by an instruction sequence which performs a full page table
walk starting at swapper_pg_dir.

We first take over the trap table from the firmware.  Then, using this
constant PTE generation for the linear mapping area above, we build
the kernel page tables for the linear mapping.

After this is setup, we patch that branch above into a "nop", which
will cause TLB misses to fall through to the full page table walk.

With this, the page unmapping for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is trivial.

David S. Miller bff06d5522 [SPARC64]: Rewrite bootup sequence.
Instead of all of this cpu-specific code to remap the kernel
to the correct location, use portable firmware calls to do
this instead.

What we do now is the following in position independant
assembler:

	chosen_node = prom_finddevice("/chosen");
	prom_mmu_ihandle_cache = prom_getint(chosen_node, "mmu");
	vaddr = 4MB_ALIGN(current_text_addr());
	prom_translate(vaddr, &paddr_high, &paddr_low, &mode);
	prom_boot_mapping_mode = mode;
	prom_boot_mapping_phys_high = paddr_high;
	prom_boot_mapping_phys_low = paddr_low;
	prom_map(-1, 8 * 1024 * 1024, KERNBASE, paddr_low);

and that replaces the massive amount of by-hand TLB probing and
programming we used to do here.

The new code should also handle properly the case where the kernel
is mapped at the correct address already (think: future kexec
support).

Consequently, the bulk of remap_kernel() dies as does the entirety
of arch/sparc64/prom/map.S

We try to share some strings in the PROM library with the ones used
at bootup, and while we're here mark input strings to oplib.h routines
with "const" when appropriate.

There are many more simplifications now possible.  For one thing, we
can consolidate the two copies we now have of a lot of cpu setup code
sitting in head.S and trampoline.S.

This is a significant step towards CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support.

Ingo Molnar fb1c8f93d8 [PATCH] spinlock consolidation
This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
things:

 - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code

 - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files

 - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
   features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.

 - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.

Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)

Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.

The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:

 include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
 include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16

I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:

   SMP                         |  UP
   ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
   asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
   linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
   asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
   linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h
   linux/spinlock.h            |  linux/spinlock.h

/*
 * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
 *
 * on SMP builds:
 *
 *  asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
 *                        initializers
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
 *                        defines the generic type and initializers
 *
 *  asm/spinlock.h:       contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
 *                        implementations, mostly inline assembly code
 *
 *   (also included on UP-debug builds:)
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
 *                        contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.

All SMP and UP architectures are converted by this patch.

arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via
crosscompilers.  m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should
be mostly fine.

From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>

  Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
  Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested).  I did not try to build
  non-SMP kernels.  That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.

  I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t.  Doing so avoids
  some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files.  Those particular locks
  are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code.  I do NOT
  expect any new issues to arise with them.

 If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
  need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
  that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
  (load and clear word).

Dipankar Sarma b835996f62 [PATCH] files: lock-free fd look-up
With the use of RCU in files structure, the look-up of files using fds can now
be lock-free.  The lookup is protected by rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock().
This patch changes the readers to use lock-free lookup.

Dipankar Sarma badf16621c [PATCH] files: break up files struct
In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
be updated atomically.  Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure.  This
patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct.  It also changes all
the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro.  Subsequent
applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.
