aed9c6ccb8 [PATCH] ppc32: Put cache flush routines back into .relocate_code section
In 2.6.14, we had the following definition of _GLOBAL() in
include/asm-ppc/processor.h:

#define _GLOBAL(n)\
        .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\
        .globl n;\
n:

In 2.6.15, as part of the great powerpc merge, we moved this definition to
include/asm-powerpc/ppc_asm.h, where it appears (to 32-bit code) as:

#define _GLOBAL(n)      \
        .text;          \
        .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\
        .globl n;       \
n:

Mostly, this is fine.  However, we also have the following, in
arch/ppc/boot/common/util.S:

        .section ".relocate_code","xa"
[...]
_GLOBAL(flush_instruction_cache)
[...]
_GLOBAL(flush_data_cache)
[...]

The addition of the .text section definition in the definition of
_GLOBAL overrides the .relocate_code section definition.  As a result,
these two functions don't end up in .relocate_code, so they don't get
relocated correctly, and the boot fails.

There's another suspicious-looking usage at kernel/swsusp.S:37 that
someone should look into.  I did not exhaustively search the source
tree, though.

The following is the minimal patch that fixes the immediate problem.
I could easily be convinced that the _GLOBAL definition should be
modified to remove the ".text;" line either instead of, or in addition
to, this fix.

2fb9d20636 [PATCH] spufs: set irq affinity for running threads
For far, all SPU triggered interrupts always end up on
the first SMT thread, which is a bad solution.

This patch implements setting the affinity to the
CPU that was running last when entering execution on
an SPU. This should result in a significant reduction
in IPI calls and better cache locality for SPE thread
specific data.

f0831acc4b [PATCH] spufs: abstract priv1 register access.
In a hypervisor based setup, direct access to the first
priviledged register space can typically not be allowed
to the kernel and has to be implemented through hypervisor
calls.

As suggested by Masato Noguchi, let's abstract the register
access trough a number of function calls. Since there is
currently no public specification of actual hypervisor
calls to implement this, I only provide a place that
makes it easier to hook into.

14c89e7fc8 [PATCH] powerpc: Replace VMALLOCBASE with VMALLOC_START
On ppc64, we independently define VMALLOCBASE and VMALLOC_START to be
the same thing: the start of the vmalloc() area at 0xd000000000000000.
VMALLOC_START is used much more widely, including in generic code, so
this patch gets rid of the extraneous VMALLOCBASE.

This does require moving the definitions of region IDs from page_64.h
to pgtable.h, but they don't clearly belong in the former rather than
the latter, anyway.  While we're moving them, clean up the definitions
of the REGION_IDs:
	- Abolish REGION_SIZE, it was only used once, to define
REGION_MASK anyway
	- Define the specific region ids in terms of the REGION_ID()
macro.
	- Define KERNEL_REGION_ID in terms of PAGE_OFFSET rather than
KERNELBASE.  It amounts to the same thing, but conceptually this is
about the region of the linear mapping (which starts at PAGE_OFFSET)
rather than of the kernel text itself (which is at KERNELBASE).

3a843d7cd3 [PATCH] spufs: fix mailbox polling
Handling mailbox interrupts was broken in multiple respects,
the combination of which was hiding the bugs most of the time.

- The ibox interrupt mask was open initially even though there
  are no waiters on a newly created SPU.

- Acknowledging the mailbox interrupt did not work because
  it is level triggered and the mailbox data is never retrieved
  from inside the interrupt handler.

- The interrupt handler delivered interrupts with a disabled
  mask if another interrupt is triggered for the same class
  but a different mask.

- The poll function did not enable the interrupt if it had not
  been enabled, so we might run into the poll timeout if none of
  the other bugs saved us and no signal was delivered.

We probably still have a similar problem with blocking
read/write on mailbox files, but that will result in extra
wakeup in the worst case, not in incorrect behaviour.

2a911f0bb7 [PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability [part 2].
This patch reduces lock complexity of SPU scheduler, particularly
for involuntary preemptive switches.  As a result the new code
does a better job of mapping the highest priority tasks to SPUs.

Lock complexity is reduced by using the system default workqueue
to perform involuntary saves.  In this way we avoid nasty lock
ordering problems that the previous code had.  A "minimum timeslice"
for SPU contexts is also introduced.  The intent here is to avoid
thrashing.

While the new scheduler does a better job at prioritization it
still does nothing for fairness.

5110459f18 [PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability.
This patch makes it easier to preempt an SPU context by
having the scheduler hold ctx->state_sema for much shorter
periods of time.

As part of this restructuring, the control logic for the "run"
operation is moved from arch/ppc64/kernel/spu_base.c to
fs/spufs/file.c.  Of course the base retains "bottom half"
handlers for class{0,1} irqs.  The new run loop will re-acquire
an SPU if preempted.

spufs is rather noisy when debugging is enabled, this
turns off the messages for production use.

b41305a39a [PATCH] spufs: Fix oops when spufs module is not loaded
try_module_get returns true when NULL arguments, so
we first need to check if there is a module loaded before
getting the reference count.
