2005-09-23[PATCH] ppc64: Fix huge pages MMU mapping bugBenjamin Herrenschmidt2-5/+7
Current kernel has a couple of sneaky bugs in the ppc64 hugetlb code that cause huge pages to be potentially left stale in the hash table and TLBs (improperly invalidated), with all the nasty consequences that can have. One is that we forgot to set the "secondary" bit in the hash PTEs when hashing a huge page in the secondary bucket (fortunately very rare). The other one is on non-LPAR machines (like Apple G5s), flush_hash_range() which is used to flush a batch of PTEs simply did not work for huge pages. Historically, our huge page code didn't batch, but this was changed without fixing this routine. This patch fixes both.

2005-09-22[PATCH] uml: replace printk with "stack-friendly" printf - to report console ↵Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso1-16/+42
failure User get *a lot* confused when consoles don't work but we don't report anything. And, as reported in the comment, using printk to report "your console doesn't work" isn't likely to go that far. Fix the problem on the base of this: stack consumption by host printf(). Use kernel sprintf() and os_write_file, using a wild guess that one page will be enough for the message, to preallocate the buffer with kmalloc().

setup_initial_poll is only called with sigio_lock() held, so use appropriate allocation. Also, parse_chan() can also be called when holding a spinlock (see line_open() -> parse_chan_pair()). I have sporadic problems (spinlock taken twice, with spinlock debugging on UP) which could be caused by a sequence like "take spinlock, alloc and go to sleep, take again the spinlock in the other thread".

2005-09-22[PATCH] uml: avoid fixing faults while atomicPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso1-0/+7
Following i386, we should maybe refuse trying to fault in pages when we're doing atomic operations, because to handle the fault we could need to take already taken spinlocks. Also, if we're doing an atomic operation (in the sense of in_atomic()) we're surely in kernel mode and we're surely going to handle adequately the failed fault, so it's safe to behave this way. Currently, on UML SMP is rarely used, and we don't support PREEMPT, so this is unlikely to create problems right now, but it might in the future.

2005-09-22[PATCH] uml: run mconsole "sysrq" in process contextPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso1-1/+1
Things are breaking horribly with sysrq called in interrupt context. I want to try to fix it, but probably this is simpler. To tell the truth, sysrq is normally run in interrupt context, so there shouldn't be any problem. There's also a warning from the fault handler because it's run in atomic context (I have a patch for that, only I deferred it). This is why I'm doing this.

2005-09-22[PATCH] uml: fix hang in TT mode on faultPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2-3/+19
The current code doesn't handle well general protection faults on the host - it thinks that cr2 is always the address of a page fault. While actually, on general protection faults, that address is not accessible, so we'd better assume we couldn't satisfy the fault. Currently instead we think we've fixed it, so we go back, retry the instruction and fault again endlessly. This leads to the kernel hanging when doing copy_from_user(dest, -1, ...) in TT mode, since reading *(-1) causes a GFP, and we don't support kernel preemption.

2005-09-22[PATCH] ppc64: SMU driver update & i2c supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt5-15/+30
The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines including the iMac G5. It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time clock, etc... The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more than reading the real time clock synchronously. This is a completely rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors. This driver is a basic block for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

zImage.vmode was recently added. It's a version of zImage in which the ELF note section used by open firmware indicates that it requires a virtual mode instance of OF instead of real mode. This allows it to work with Apple OF, and thus is directly bootable (or netbootable) from OF command line. (Unfortunately, pSeries OF sort-of requires real mode and Apple OF sort-of requires virtual mode, and both tend to be unhappy if no notes section specifies the mode at all). However, we forgot to add zImage.vmode to the default G5 build. This fixes it.
