sparc64: sparse irq

2014-10-05T23:53:40+00:00

This patch attempts to do a few things. The highlights are: 1) enable SPARSE_IRQ unconditionally, 2) kills off !SPARSE_IRQ code 3) allocates ivector_table at boot time and 4) default to cookie only VIRQ mechanism for supported firmware. The first firmware with cookie only support for me appears on T5. You can optionally force the HV firmware to not cookie only mode which is the sysino support. The sysino is a deprecated HV mechanism according to the most recent SPARC Virtual Machine Specification. HV_GRP_INTR is what controls the cookie/sysino firmware versioning. The history of this interface is: 1) Major version 1.0 only supported sysino based interrupt interfaces. 2) Major version 2.0 added cookie based VIRQs, however due to the fact that OSs were using the VIRQs without negoatiating major version 2.0 (Linux and Solaris are both guilty), the VIRQs calls were allowed even with major version 1.0 To complicate things even further, the VIRQ interfaces were only actually hooked up in the hypervisor for LDC interrupt sources. VIRQ calls on other device types would result in HV_EINVAL errors. So effectively, major version 2.0 is unusable. 3) Major version 3.0 was created to signal use of VIRQs and the fact that the hypervisor has these calls hooked up for all interrupt sources, not just those for LDC devices. A new boot option is provided should cookie only HV support have issues. hvirq - this is the version for HV_GRP_INTR. This is related to HV API versioning. The code attempts major=3 first by default. The option can be used to override this default. I've tested with SPARSE_IRQ on T5-8, M7-4 and T4-X and Jalap?no. Signed-off-by: Bob Picco Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

irq: Consolidate do_softirq() arch overriden implementations

2013-10-01T10:53:25+00:00

All arch overriden implementations of do_softirq() share the following common code: disable irqs (to avoid races with the pending check), check if there are softirqs pending, then execute __do_softirq() on a specific stack. Consolidate the common parts such that archs only worry about the stack switch.

sparc: delete cpuinit/CPUINIT usage from all users

2013-07-14T23:36:52+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/sparc uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files and removes __CPUINIT from assembly files. Note that even though arch/sparc/kernel/trampoline_64.S has instances of ".previous" in it, they are all paired off against explicit ".section" directives, and not implicitly paired with __CPUINIT (unlike mips and arm were).

sparc32: Trivial removal of sun4c references in comments.

2012-05-12T07:35:45+00:00

I left some around, like the ones in the openprom headers, since we need to think about which pieces of those datastructures and code we can completely toss now. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sparc: remove several unnecessary module.h include instances

2011-10-31T23:30:54+00:00

Building an allyesconfig doesn't reveal a hidden need for any of these. Since module.h brings in the whole kitchen sink, it just needlessly adds 30k+ lines to the cpp burden. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

sparc: convert old cpumask API into new one

2011-05-16T20:38:07+00:00

Adapt new API. Almost change is trivial, most important change are to remove following like =operator. cpumask_t cpu_mask = *mm_cpumask(mm); cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed; Because cpumask_var_t is =operator unsafe. These usage might prevent kernel core improvement. No functional change. Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
