c594adad56 [PATCH] Dynamic hugepage addresses for ppc64
Paulus, I think this is now a reasonable candidate for the post-2.6.13
queue.

Relax address restrictions for hugepages on ppc64

Presently, 64-bit applications on ppc64 may only use hugepages in the
address region from 1-1.5T.  Furthermore, if hugepages are enabled in
the kernel config, they may only use hugepages and never normal pages
in this area.  This patch relaxes this restriction, allowing any
address to be used with hugepages, but with a 1TB granularity.  That
is if you map a hugepage anywhere in the region 1TB-2TB, that entire
area will be reserved exclusively for hugepages for the remainder of
the process's lifetime.  This works analagously to hugepages in 32-bit
applications, where hugepages can be mapped anywhere, but with 256MB
(mmu segment) granularity.

This patch applies on top of the four level pagetable patch
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc64/patch?id=1936).

If both CONFIG_XMON and CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is enabled in the .config,
there is no way to disable xmon again. setup_system calls first xmon_init,
later parse_early_param. So a new 'xmon=off' cmdline option will do the right

e88bcd1b29 [PATCH] ppc64: Remove redundant abs_to_phys() macro
abs_to_phys() is a macro that turns out to do nothing, and also has the
unfortunate property that it's not the inverse of phys_to_abs() on iSeries.

The following is for my benefit as much as everyone else.

With CONFIG_MSCHUNKS enabled, the lmb code is changed such that it keeps
a physbase variable for each lmb region. This is used to take the possibly
discontiguous lmb regions and present them as a contiguous address space
beginning from zero.

In this context each lmb region's base address is its "absolute" base
address, and its physbase is it's "physical" address (from Linux's point of
view). The abs_to_phys() macro does the mapping from "absolute" to "physical".

Note: This is not related to the iSeries mapping of physical to absolute
(ie. Hypervisor) addresses which is maintained with the msChunks structure.
And the msChunks structure is not controlled via CONFIG_MSCHUNKS.

Once upon a time you could compile for non-iSeries with CONFIG_MSCHUNKS
enabled. But these days CONFIG_MSCHUNKS depends on CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES, so
for non-iSeries code abs_to_phys() is a no-op.

On iSeries we always have one lmb region which spans from 0 to
systemcfg->physicalMemorySize (arch/ppc64/kernel/iSeries_setup.c line 383).
This region has a base (ie. absolute) address of 0, and a physbase address
of 0 (as calculated in lmb_analyze() (arch/ppc64/kernel/lmb.c line 144)).

On iSeries, abs_to_phys(aa) is defined as lmb_abs_to_phys(aa), which finds
the lmb region containing aa (and there's only one, ie. 0), and then does:

 return lmb.memory.region[0].physbase + (aa - lmb.memory.region[0].base)

physbase == base == 0, so you're left with "return aa".

So remove abs_to_phys(), and lmb_abs_to_phys() which is the implementation
of abs_to_phys() for iSeries.

34c8f6961f [PATCH] ppc64: msChunks cleanups
Chunks are 256KB, so use constants for the size/shift/mask, rather than
getting them from the msChunks struct. The iSeries debugger (??) might still
need access to the values in the msChunks struct, so we keep them around
for now, but set them from the constant values.

Replace msChunks_entry typedef with regular u32.

Simplify msChunks_alloc() to manipulate klimit directly, rather than via
a parameter.

Move msChunks_alloc() and msChunks into iSeries_setup.c, as that's where
they're used.

2e2446ea07 [PATCH] Remove NACA fixed address constraint
Comments in head.S suggest that the iSeries naca has a fixed address,
because tools expect to find it there.  The only tool which appears to
access the naca is addRamDisk, but both the in-kernel version and the
version used in RHEL and SuSE in fact locate the NACA the same way as
the hypervisor does, by following the pointer in the hvReleaseData
structure.

Since the requirement for a fixed address seems to be obsolete, this
patch removes the naca from head.S and replaces it with a normal C
initializer.

For good measure, it removes an old version of addRamDisk.c which was
sitting, unused, in the ppc32 tree.

e28f7faf05 [PATCH] Four level pagetables for ppc64
Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64

This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby
extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T).

The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level,
and a quarter page for the intermediate levels.  It uses full 64-bit
pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of
physical memory.  This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow
matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available
contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.

I recently had a BUG_ON() go off spuriously on a gcc 4.0 compiled kernel.
It turns out gcc-4.0 was removing a sign extension while earlier gcc

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23422

It turns out we need to cast the input in order to tell gcc to sign extend
it.

2ad5649662 [PATCH] iSeries build with newer assemblers and compilers
Paulus suggested that we put xLparMap in its own .c file so that we can

It would be good if this could be included in 2.6.13 as it solves our
build problems with various versions of binutils and gcc.  In
particular, it allows us to build an iSeries kernel on Debian unstable
using their biarch compiler.

This has been built and booted on iSeries and built for pSeries and g5.

488f84994c [PATCH] ppc64: remove another fixed address constraint
Presently the LparMap, one of the structures the kernel shares with the
legacy iSeries hypervisor has a fixed offset address in head.S.  This patch
changes this so the LparMap is a normally initialized structure, without
fixed address.  This allows us to use macros to compute some of the values
in the structure, which wasn't previously possible because the assembler
always uses signed-% which gets the wrong answers for the computations in
question.

Unfortunately, a gcc bug means that doing this requires another structure
(hvReleaseData) to be initialized in asm instead of C, but on the whole the
result is cleaner than before.

533f08172e [PATCH] ppc64: dynamically allocate segment tables
PPC64 machines before Power4 need a segment table page allocated for each
CPU.  Currently these are allocated statically in a big array in head.S for
all CPUs.  The segment tables need to be in the first segment (so
do_stab_bolted doesn't take a recursive fault on the stab itself), but
other than that there are no constraints which require the stabs for the
secondary CPUs to be statically allocated.

This patch allocates segment tables dynamically during boot, using
lmb_alloc() to ensure they are within the first 256M segment.  This reduces
the kernel image size by 192k...

8dc4fd87f2 [PATCH] ppc64: Turn runlatch on in exception entry
Enable the runlatch at the start of each exception.  Unfortunately we are out
of space in the 0x300 handler, so I added it a bit later.

The SPR write is fairly expensive, perhaps we should cache the runlatch state
in the paca and avoid the write when possible.

We don't need to turn the runlatch off, we do that in the idle loop.  Better
to take the hit in the idle loop than for each exception exit.

a2f7a9ce2a [PATCH] ppc64: Fix runlatch code to work on pseries machines
Not all ppc64 CPUs have the CTRL SPR, so we need a cputable feature for it.

719d1cd867 [PATCH] ppc64: Replace custom locking code with a spinlock
The hvlpevent_queue (formally ItLpQueue) has a member called xInUseWord
which is used for serialising access to the queue. Because it's a word
(ie. 32 bit) there's a custom 32-bit version of test_and_set_bit() or
thereabouts in ItLpQueue.c.

The xInUseWord is not shared with they hypervisor, so we can replace it
with a spinlock and remove the custom code.

There is also another locking mechanism (ItLpQueueInProcess). This is
redundant because it's only manipulated while the lock's held. Remove it.

ed094150bd [PATCH] ppc64: Simplify counting of lpevents, remove lpevent_count from paca
Currently there's a per-cpu count of lpevents processed, a per-queue (ie.
global) total count, and a count by event type.

Replace all that with a count by event for each cpu. We only need to add
it up int the proc code.

74889802a1 [PATCH] ppc64: Don't count number of events processed for caller
Currently we count the number of lpevents processed in 3 seperate places.

One of these counters is never read, so just remove it. This means
hvlpevent_queue_process() no longer needs to return the number of events
processed.

Rename xItLpQueue to hvlpevent_queue and make the type struct hvlpevent_queue.
