powerpc: gamecube/wii: do not include PCI support

2009-12-13T05:24:27+00:00

The Nintendo GameCube and Wii video game consoles do not have PCI hardware.
Avoid wasting their scarce memory by not including PCI support into the
kernel.

sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release files

2009-12-09T06:09:33+00:00

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.

powerpc/85xx/86xx: Add suspend/resume support

2009-11-12T03:43:28+00:00

This patch adds suspend/resume support for MPC8540 and MPC8641D-
compatible CPUs. To reach sleep state, we just write the SLP bit
into the PM control and status register.

So far we don't support Deep Sleep mode as found in newer MPC85xx
CPUs (i.e. MPC8536). It can be relatively easy implemented though,
and for it we reserve 'mem' suspend type.

powerpc: Enable sparse irq_descs on powerpc

2009-10-30T06:21:31+00:00

Defining CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ enables generic code that gets rid of the
static irq_desc array, and replaces it with an array of pointers to
irq_descs.

It also allows node local allocation of irq_descs, however we
currently don't have the information available to do that, so we just
allocate them on all on node 0.

powerpc: Make NR_IRQS a CONFIG option

2009-10-30T06:20:54+00:00

The irq_desc array consumes quite a lot of space, and for systems
that don't need or can't have 512 irqs it's just wasted space.

The first 16 are reserved for ISA, so the minimum of 32 is really
16 - and no one has asked for more than 512 so leave that as the
maximum.

powerpc: Make it possible to select hibernation on all PowerPCs

2009-10-30T06:20:52+00:00

Just as with kexec, hibernation may fail even on well-tested platforms:
some PCI device, a driver of which doesn't play well with hibernation,
is enough to break resuming.

Hibernation code is not much platform dependent, and hiding features only
because these were not verified on a particular hardware is
counterproductive: we just prevent the features from being widely tested.

For example, with this patch I just tested hibernation on a MPC83xx
board, and it works quite well, modulo a few drivers that need some
fixing.

So, let's make it possible to select hibernation support for all
PowerPCs, then let's wait for any possible bug reports, and actually fix
(or just collect ;-) the bugs instead of hiding them. If some platforms
really can't stand hibernation, we can make a blacklist, with proper
comments why exactly hibernation doesn't work, whether it is possible to
fix, and what needs to be done to fix it.

CONFIG_HIBERNATION is still =n by default, so the commit doesn't change
anything apart from ability to set it to =y.

I'm not sure if EXPERIMENTAL dependency is needed, I'd rather not add it
for a few reasons:

1) It doesn't matter much, for distro kernels user has no clue that some
   feature is experimental. Majority of defconfigs enable EXPERIMENTAL
   anyway (90 vs. 4, which, btw, means that EXPERIMENTAL is overused
   in Kconfigs);

2) EXPERIMENTAL is a good thing for features that change default
   behaviour of a kernel, while for hibernation user has to explicitly
   issue 'echo disk > /sys/power/state' to trigger any hibernation bugs;

3) Per init/Kconfig, EXPERIMENTAL is a good thing to scare and discourage
   users from 'widespread use of a feature', while we want to encourage
   that use.

powerpc: Increase NODES_SHIFT on 64bit from 4 to 8

2009-09-24T05:31:46+00:00

Some System p configurations can already have more than 16 nodes so we
need to increase NODES_SHIFT. I chose 256 to give us some room to grow in the
future, although we can look at something smaller if the memory bloat is
considered too much.

Unless we clamp MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS we end up with 300kB of extra bloat in
early_node_map in mm/page_alloc.c:

< 6144   early_node_map
> 307200 early_node_map

due to:

    #if MAX_NUMNODES >= 32
      /* If there can be many nodes, allow up to 50 holes per node */
      #define MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS (MAX_NUMNODES*50)
    #else
      /* By default, allow up to 256 distinct regions */
    #define MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS 256

Since our memory is mostly contiguous it seems reasonable to keep this
at 256 for now. I also set 32bit to 32 to save space (is there any chance
a 32bit system will have more than 32 discontiguous memory ranges?).

Even with that fixed we have a few data structures that grow:

< 896   bootmem_node_data
> 14336 bootmem_node_data

< 1280  node_devices
> 20480 node_devices

< 25088 kmalloc_caches
> 59648 kmalloc_caches

< 1632  hstates
> 21792 hstates

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events

2009-09-21T12:28:04+00:00

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )
