sparc64: Fix bootup crash on sun4v.

2012-04-22T23:21:24+00:00

commit 9e0daff30fd7ecf698e5d20b0fa7f851e427cca5 upstream.

The DS driver registers as a subsys_initcall() but this can be too
early, in particular this risks registering before we've had a chance
to allocate and setup module_kset in kernel/params.c which is
performed also as a subsyts_initcall().

Register DS using device_initcall() insteal.

sparc64: Eliminate obsolete __handle_softirq() function

2012-04-22T23:21:24+00:00

commit 3d3eeb2ef26112a200785e5fca58ec58dd33bf1e upstream.

The invocation of softirq is now handled by irq_exit(), so there is no
need for sparc64 to invoke it on the trap-return path.  In fact, doing so
is a bug because if the trap occurred in the idle loop, this invocation
can result in lockdep-RCU failures.  The problem is that RCU ignores idle
CPUs, and the sparc64 trap-return path to the softirq handlers fails to
tell RCU that the CPU must be considered non-idle while those handlers
are executing.  This means that RCU is ignoring any RCU read-side critical
sections in those handlers, which in turn means that RCU-protected data
can be yanked out from under those read-side critical sections.

The shiny new lockdep-RCU ability to detect RCU read-side critical sections
that RCU is ignoring located this problem.

The fix is straightforward: Make sparc64 stop manually invoking the
softirq handlers.

sparc32: Add -Av8 to assembler command line.

2012-03-19T15:57:59+00:00

commit e0adb9902fb338a9fe634c3c2a3e474075c733ba upstream.

Newer version of binutils are more strict about specifying the
correct options to enable certain classes of instructions.

The sparc32 build is done for v7 in order to support sun4c systems
which lack hardware integer multiply and divide instructions.

So we have to pass -Av8 when building the assembler routines that
use these instructions and get patched into the kernel when we find
out that we have a v8 capable cpu.

sparc: Fix handling of orig_i0 wrt. debugging when restarting syscalls.

2012-01-06T22:14:05+00:00

[ A combination of upstream commits 1d299bc7732c34d85bd43ac1a8745f5a2fed2078 and
  e88d2468718b0789b4c33da2f7e1cef2a1eee279 ]

Although we provide a proper way for a debugger to control whether
syscall restart occurs, we run into problems because orig_i0 is not
saved and restored properly.

Luckily we can solve this problem without having to make debuggers
aware of the issue.  Across system calls, several registers are
considered volatile and can be safely clobbered.

Therefore we use the pt_regs save area of one of those registers, %g6,
as a place to save and restore orig_i0.

Debuggers transparently will do the right thing because they save and
restore this register already.

This is setting things up so that we can correct the return

buffer pointer.

sparc64: Patch sun4v code sequences properly on module load.

2012-01-06T22:14:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0b64120cceb86e93cb1bda0dc055f13016646907 ]

Some of the sun4v code patching occurs in inline functions visible
to, and usable by, modules.

Therefore we have to patch them up during module load.
