powerpc: TIF_ABI_PENDING bit removal

2010-02-09T12:51:02+00:00

commit 94f28da8409c6059135e89ac64a0839993124155 upstream.

Here are the powerpc bits to remove TIF_ABI_PENDING now that
set_personality() is called at the appropriate place in exec.

module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

2010-01-18T18:19:51+00:00

commit d4703aefdbc8f9f347f6dcefcddd791294314eb7 upstream.

powerpc applies relocations to the kcrctab.  They're absolute symbols,
but it's not completely unreasonable: other archs may too, but the
relocation is often 0.

powerpc: Fix DEBUG_HIGHMEM build break from d4515646699

2009-11-30T22:33:45+00:00

Code was added to mm/higmem.c that depends on several
kmap types that powerpc does not support.  We add dummy
invalid definitions for KM_NMI, KM_NM_PTE, and KM_IRQ_PTE.

According to list discussion, this fix should not be needed
anymore starting with 2.6.33.  The code is commented to this
effect so hopefully we will remember to remove this.

powerpc: Fix hypervisor TLB batching

2009-10-14T05:58:37+00:00

Profiling of a page fault scalability microbenchmark shows flush_hash_range
is not calling the batch hpte invalidate hcall (H_BULK_REMOVE).

It turns out we have a duplicate firmware feature for hcall-bulk and the
current setup code stops after finding the first match. This meant we never
batch and always do individual invalidates.

The patch below removes the duplicate and shifts FW_FEATURE_CMO to close
the gap. With the patch applied the single threaded page fault rate improves
from 217169 to 238755 per second on a POWER5 test box, a 10% improvement.

powerpc/mm: Fix 40x and 8xx vs. _PAGE_SPECIAL

2009-09-24T05:31:49+00:00

The test to check whether we have _PAGE_SPECIAL defined is broken,
since we always define it, just not always to a meaninful value :-)

That broke 8xx and 40x under some circumstances.

This fixes it by adding _PAGE_SPECIAL for both of these since they
had a free PTE bit, and removing the condition around advertising
it.

powerpc: Change archdata dma_data to a union

2009-09-24T05:31:43+00:00

Sometimes this is used to hold a simple offset, and sometimes
it is used to hold a pointer.  This patch changes it to a union containing
void * and dma_addr_t.  get/set accessors are also provided, because it was
getting a bit ugly to get to the actual data.

powerpc: Rename get_dma_direct_offset get_dma_offset

2009-09-24T05:31:43+00:00

The former is no longer really accurate with the swiotlb case now
a possibility.  I also move it into dma-mapping.h - it no longer
needs to be in dma.c, and there are about to be some more accessors
that should all end up in the same place.  A comment is added to
indicate that this function is not used in configs where there is no
simple dma offset, such as the iommu case.
