From 6df10a82f8de89c66eb91c371d62d76e87b2cbba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Nutter Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 00:00:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] spufs: enable SPE problem state MMIO access. This patch is layered on top of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM and is patterned after direct mapping of LS. This patch allows mmap() of the following regions: "mfc", which represents the area from [0x3000 - 0x3fff]; "cntl", which represents the area from [0x4000 - 0x4fff]; "signal1" which begins at offset 0x14000; "signal2" which begins at offset 0x1c000. The signal1 & signal2 files may be mmap()'d by regular user processes. The cntl and mfc file, on the other hand, may only be accessed if the owning process has CAP_SYS_RAWIO, because they have the potential to confuse the kernel with regard to parallel access to the same files with regular file operations: the kernel always holds a spinlock when accessing registers in these areas to serialize them, which can not be guaranteed with user mmaps, Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras --- include/asm-powerpc/spu.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'include/asm-powerpc') diff --git a/include/asm-powerpc/spu.h b/include/asm-powerpc/spu.h index 8564b8234069..f431d8b0b651 100644 --- a/include/asm-powerpc/spu.h +++ b/include/asm-powerpc/spu.h @@ -110,6 +110,7 @@ struct spu { char *name; unsigned long local_store_phys; u8 *local_store; + unsigned long problem_phys; struct spu_problem __iomem *problem; struct spu_priv1 __iomem *priv1; struct spu_priv2 __iomem *priv2; -- cgit v1.2.3
