Add Kconfig option ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG

2011-08-03T15:12:37+00:00

cmpxchg() is widely used by lockless code, including NMI-safe lockless
code.  But on some architectures, the cmpxchg() implementation is not
NMI-safe, on these architectures the lockless code may need a
spin_trylock_irqsave() based implementation.

This patch adds a Kconfig option: ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so that
NMI-safe lockless code can depend on it or provide different
implementation according to it.

On many architectures, cmpxchg is only NMI-safe for several specific
operand sizes. So, ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG define in this patch
only guarantees cmpxchg is NMI-safe for sizeof(unsigned long).

net: filter: BPF 'JIT' compiler for PPC64

2011-07-21T19:38:32+00:00

An implementation of a code generator for BPF programs to speed up packet
filtering on PPC64, inspired by Eric Dumazet's x86-64 version.

Filter code is generated as an ABI-compliant function in module_alloc()'d mem
with stackframe & prologue/epilogue generated if required (simple filters don't
need anything more than an li/blr).  The filter's local variables, M[], live in
registers.  Supports all BPF opcodes, although "complicated" loads from negative
packet offsets (e.g. SKF_LL_OFF) are not yet supported.

There are a couple of further optimisations left for future work; many-pass
assembly with branch-reach reduction and a register allocator to push M[]
variables into volatile registers would improve the code quality further.

This currently supports big-endian 64-bit PowerPC only (but is fairly simple
to port to PPC32 or LE!).

Enabled in the same way as x86-64:

	echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

Or, enabled with extra debug output:

	echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

powerpc/47x: allow kernel to be loaded in higher physical memory

2011-07-12T14:34:24+00:00

The 44x code (which is shared by 47x) assumes the available physical memory
begins at 0x00000000.  This is not necessarily the case in an AMP
environment.

Support CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 476 in order to allow the kernel to be
loaded into a higher memory range.

powerpc: Add jump label support

2011-07-01T03:48:55+00:00

This patch adds support for the new "jump label" feature.

Unlike x86 and sparc we just merrily patch the code with no locks etc,
as far as I know this is safe, but I'm not really sure what the x86/sparc
code is protecting against so maybe it's not.

I also don't see any reason for us to implement the poke_early() routine,
even though sparc does.

arch: remove CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_{NEXT_BIT,BIT_LE,LAST_BIT}

2011-05-27T00:12:38+00:00

By the previous style change, CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT,
CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE, and CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_LAST_BIT are not used
to test for existence of find bitops anymore.

powerpc/ftrace: Implement raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC

2011-05-26T03:38:57+00:00

This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports
them for ftrace syscalls to use.

To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread
info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit
within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions
in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the
_TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing
is enabled.

In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and
arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to
work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that
start with a period.

mm, powerpc: move the RCU page-table freeing into generic code

2011-05-25T15:39:16+00:00

In case other architectures require RCU freed page-tables to implement
gup_fast() and software filled hashes and similar things, provide the
means to do so by moving the logic into generic code.
