[POWERPC] Fix CHRP platforms with only 8259

2006-10-25T03:49:22+00:00

On CHRP platforms with only a 8259 controller, we should set the
default IRQ host to the 8259 driver's one for the IRQ probing
fallbacks to work in case the IRQ tree is incorrect (like on
Pegasos for example). Without this fix, we get a bunch of WARN_ON's
during boot.

[POWERPC] Cell timebase bug workaround

2006-10-25T01:54:18+00:00

The Cell CPU timebase has an erratum. When reading the entire 64 bits
of the timebase with one mftb instruction, there is a handful of cycles
window during which one might read a value with the low order 32 bits
already reset to 0x00000000 but the high order bits not yet incremeted
by one. This fixes it by reading the timebase again until the low order
32 bits is no longer 0. That might introduce occasional latencies if
hitting mftb just at the wrong time, but no more than 70ns on a cell
blade, and that was considered acceptable.

[POWERPC] Support feature fixups in vdso's

2006-10-25T01:54:07+00:00

This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up.
The main issue was that the construct:

        .long   label  (or .llong on 64 bits)

will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will
generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc,
which is not something we can deal with in the vdso.

The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like:

1:
        .long   label - 1b

That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of
code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry
itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've
modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest
of the kernel as well.

Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel
need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not
support 32 bits code with a statement of the form:

        .llong  label - 1b  (Or even just .llong label)

That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use
to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific
case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are
using a modified macro that generates:

        .long   0xffffffff
        .llong  label - 1b

Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by
the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always
before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the
other way around).

[POWERPC] Support nested cpu feature sections

2006-10-25T01:54:02+00:00

This patch adds some macros that can be used with an explicit label in
order to nest cpu features. This should be used very careful but is
necessary for the upcoming cell TB fixup.

[POWERPC] Consolidate feature fixup code

2006-10-25T01:42:10+00:00

There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the
feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In
addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations
for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and
separately for 32 and 64 bits.

This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are
slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from
assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any
problem.

IRQ: Use the new typedef for interrupt handler function pointers

2006-10-09T11:19:47+00:00

Use the new typedef for interrupt handler function pointers rather than
actually spelling out the full thing each time.  This was scripted with the
following small shell script:

#!/bin/sh
egrep -nHrl -e 'irqreturn_t[ 	]*[(][*]' $* |
while read i
do
    echo $i
    perl -pi -e 's/irqreturn_t\s*[(]\s*[*]\s*([_a-zA-Z0-9]*)\s*[)]\s*[(]\s*int\s*,\s*void\s*[*]\s*[)]/irq_handler_t \1/g' $i || exit $?
