2010-04-14sparc64: Allocate sufficient stack space in ftrace stubs.David S. Miller1-4/+4
128 bytes is sufficient for the register window save area, but the calling conventions allow the callee to save up to 6 incoming argument registers into the stack frame after the register window save area. This means a minimal stack frame is 176 bytes (128 + (6 * 8)). This fixes random crashes when using the function tracer. Reported-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-04-13sparc64: Fix memory leak in pci_register_iommu_region().David S. Miller1-3/+8
Found by kmemleak. If request_resource() fails, we leak the struct resource we allocated to represent the IOMMU mapping area. This actually happens on sun4v machines because the IOMEM area is only reported sans the IOMMU region, unlike all previous systems. I'll need to fix that at some point, but for now fix the leak.

It's probably useful to be able to look at a dump of these things either via debugfs or similar, and thus we could at some point store them in some kind of table and therefore get rid of this annotation.

2010-04-13sparc64: Adjust __raw_local_irq_save() to cooperate in NMIs.David S. Miller1-2/+12
If we are in an NMI then doing a plain raw_local_irq_disable() will write PIL_NORMAL_MAX into %pil, which is lower than PIL_NMI, and thus we'll re-enable NMIs and recurse. Doing a simple: %pil = %pil | PIL_NORMAL_MAX does what we want, if we're already at PIL_NMI (15) we leave it at that setting, else we set it to PIL_NORMAL_MAX (14).

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo25-12/+18
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

For 32-bit processes, we save the full 64-bits of the regs in pt_regs. But unlike when the userspace actually does load and store instructions, the top 32-bits don't get automatically truncated by the cpu in kernel mode (because the kernel doesn't execute with PSTATE_AM address masking enabled). So we have to do it by hand. Reported-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2010-03-13dma-mapping: sparc: unify 32bit and 64bit dma_set_maskFUJITA Tomonori3-22/+13
This patchset transforms the PCI DMA API into the generic device model. It's one of the reasons why we introduced the generic DMA API long ago; driver writers are always able to use the generic DMA API with any bus instead of using bus specific DMA APIs such as pci_map_single, sbus_map_single, etc (only two bus specific APIs exist now; pci and ssb). Some of the PCI DMA API are already implented on the top of the generic DMA API (include/asm-generic/pci-dma-compat.h). But there are some exceptions. This patchset finishes the transformation. This patch: sparc has two dma_set_mask implementations for 32bit and 64bit. They are same except for the error returned value. We can safely unify them since the error returned value doesn't matter as long as it is negative (as DMA-API.txt describes). This patch also changes dma_set_mask not to call pci_set_dma_mask. Instead, dma_set_mask does the same thing that pci_set_dma_mask does. This change enables ut to change pci_set_dma_mask to call dma_set_mask; we can implement pci_set_dma_mask as pci-dma-compat.h does.

2010-03-13Add generic sys_ipc wrapperChristoph Hellwig5-117/+6
Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical. There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for "third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch maintainers looks over this in details. Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

2010-03-03sparc64: Make prom entry spinlock NMI safe.David S. Miller1-5/+7
If we do something like try to print to the OF console from an NMI while we're already in OpenFirmware, we'll deadlock on the spinlock. Use a raw spinlock and disable NMIs when we take it. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-03-03sparc64: Kill off old sys_perfctr system call and state.David S. Miller12-247/+18
People should be using the perf events interfaces, and the way these system call facilities used the %pcr conflicts with the usage of the NMI watchdog and perf events. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
