for spe errors and exceptions.

Luke Browning <lukebr@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Currently, spu contexts need to be loaded to the SPU in order to take
class 0 and class 1 exceptions.
This change makes the actual interrupt-handlers much simpler (ie,
set the exception information in the context save area), and defers the
handling code to the spufs_handle_class[01] functions, called from
spufs_run_spu.
This should improve the concurrency of the spu scheduling leading to
greater SPU utilization when SPUs are overcommited.

Currently, part of the spufs code (switch.o, lscsa_alloc.o and fault.o)
is compiled directly into the kernel.
This change moves these components of spufs into the kernel.
The lscsa and switch objects are fairly straightforward to move in.
For the fault.o module, we split the fault-handling code into two
parts: a/p/p/c/spu_fault.c and a/p/p/c/spufs/fault.c. The former is for
the in-kernel spu_handle_mm_fault function, and we move the rest of the

Add platform specific SPU run control routines to the spufs. The current
spufs implementation uses the SPU master run control bit (MFC_SR1[S]) to
control SPE execution, but the PS3 hypervisor does not support the use of
this feature.
This change adds the run control wrapper routies spu_enable_spu() and
spu_disable_spu(). The bare metal routines use the master run control
bit, and the PS3 specific routines use the priv2 run control register.
An outstanding enhancement for the PS3 would be to add a guard to check
for incorrect access to the spu problem state when the spu context is
disabled. This check could be implemented with a flag added to the spu
context that would inhibit mapping problem state pages, and a routine
to unmap spu problem state pages. When the spu is enabled with
ps3_enable_spu() the flag would be set allowing pages to be mapped,
and when the spu is disabled with ps3_disable_spu() the flag would be
cleared and mapped problem state pages would be unmapped.

We can currently cause an oops by repeatedly creating and destroying
contexts, while doing getdents() calls on the "/spu" directory.
This is due to the context's top-level dentry remaining hashed while
the context is being destroyed.
Fix this by unhashing the context's dentry with the
dentry->d_inode->i_mutex held. This way, we'll hit the check for
d_unhashed in dentry_readdir, and won't be included in the
list of subdirs for /spu.

This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).
We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.
We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments. That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.

Because spufs might be built as a module, we can't have other parts of the

Currently we have two structures which hold callbacks for these stubs, the

At present, a built-in spufs will not use the spufs_calls callbacks, but
directly call sys_spu_create. This saves us an indirect branch, but
means we have duplicated functions - one for CONFIG_SPU_FS=y and one for
=m.
This change unifies the spufs syscall path, and provides access to the
spufs_calls structure through a get/put pair. At present, the only user
of the spufs_calls structure is spu_syscalls.c, but this will facilitate
adding the coredump calls later.
Everyone likes numbers, right? Here's a before/after comparison with
CONFIG_SPU_FS=y, doing spu_create(); close(); 64k times.
Before:
[jk@cell ~]$ time ./spu_create
performing 65536 spu_create calls
real 0m24.075s
user 0m0.146s
sys 0m23.925s
After:
[jk@cell ~]$ time ./spu_create
performing 65536 spu_create calls
real 0m24.777s
user 0m0.141s
sys 0m24.631s
So, we're adding around 11us per syscall, at the benefit of having
only one syscall path.
