Mike Kravetz 9fe901d124 [PATCH] powerpc: Workaround for pSeries RTAS bug
A bug in the RTAS services incorrectly interprets some bits in the CR
when called from the OS.  Specifically, bits in CR4.  The result could
be a firmware crash that also takes down the partition.  A firmware
fix is in the works.  We have seen this situation when performing DLPAR
operations.  As a temporary workaround, clear the CR in enter_rtas().
Note that enter_rtas() will not set any bits in CR4 before calling RTAS.

Also note that the 32 bit version of enter_rtas() should have the same
work around even though the chances of hitting the bug are much smaller
due to the lack of DLPAR on 32 bit kernels.  However, my assembly skills
are a bit rusty and the 32 bit code doesn't seem to follow the conventions
for where things should be saved.  In addition, I don't have a system
to test 32 bit kernels.  Help creating and at least touch testing the
same workaround for 32 bit would be appreciated.

Laurent MEYER 11089f08d9 [PATCH] powerpc: fix incorrect SA_ONSTACK behaviour for 64-bit processes
*) When setting a sighandler using sigaction() call, if the flag
SA_ONSTACK is set and no alternate stack is provided via sigaltstack(),
the kernel still try to install the alternate stack. This behavior is
the opposite of the one which is documented in Single Unix
Specifications V3.

*) Also when setting an alternate stack using sigaltstack() with the
flag SS_DISABLE, the kernel try to install the alternate stack on
signal delivery.

These two use cases makes the process crash at signal delivery.

This fixes it.

This fixes a mistake I made when editing these functions - when I
took out the interrupt disabling code (because interrupts are now
disabled by the caller) I left the register that is used for the MSR

Also updated some of the comments in idle_power4.S and removed some
code that was copied over from idle_6xx.S but is no longer relevant
(we don't ever clear the CPU_FTR_CAN_NAP bit at runtime for POWER4).

Anton Blanchard 4df20460a3 [PATCH] powerpc: Allow non zero boot cpuids
We currently have a hack to flip the boot cpu and its secondary thread
to logical cpuid 0 and 1. This means the logical - physical mapping will
differ depending on which cpu is boot cpu. This is most apparent on
kexec, where we might kexec on any cpu and therefore change the mapping
from boot to boot.

The patch below does a first pass early on to work out the logical cpuid
of the boot thread. We then fix up some paca structures to match.

Ive also removed the boot_cpuid_phys variable for ppc64, to be
consistent we use get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid) everywhere.

Olaf Hering 6088857b16 [PATCH] correct the comment about stackpointer alignment in __boot_from_prom
The address of variable val in prom_init_stdout is passed to prom_getprop.
prom_getprop casts the pointer to u32 and passes it to call_prom in the hope
that OpenFirmware stores something there.
But the pointer is truncated in the lower bits and the expected value is
stored somewhere else.

In my testing I had a stackpointer of 0x0023e6b4. val was at offset 120,
wich has address 0x0023e72c. But the value passed to OF was 0x0023e728.

c00000000040b710:       3b 01 00 78     addi    r24,r1,120
...
c00000000040b754:       57 08 00 38     rlwinm  r8,r24,0,0,28
...
c00000000040b784:       80 01 00 78     lwz     r0,120(r1)
...
c00000000040b798:       90 1b 00 0c     stw     r0,12(r27)
...

The stackpointer came from 32bit code.
The chain was yaboot -> zImage -> vmlinux

PowerMac OpenFirmware does appearently not handle the ELF sections
correctly.  If yaboot was compiled in
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/lilo-10.1.1/yaboot, then the stackpointer is
unaligned. But the stackpointer is correct if yaboot is compiled in
/tmp/yaboot.

This bug triggered since 2.6.15, now prom_getprop is an inline
function. gcc clears the lower bits, instead of just clearing the
upper 32 bits.

Prasanna S Panchamukhi 50e21f2b28 [PATCH] kprobes: fix broken fault handling for powerpc64
Provide proper kprobes fault handling, if a user-specified pre/post handlers
tries to access user address space, through copy_from_user(), get_user() etc.

The user-specified fault handler gets called only if the fault occurs while
executing user-specified handlers.  In such a case user-specified handler is
allowed to fix it first, later if the user-specifed fault handler does not fix
it, we try to fix it by calling fix_exception().

The user-specified handler will not be called if the fault happens when single
stepping the original instruction, instead we reset the current probe and
allow the system page fault handler to fix it up.

Paul Mackerras 0a45d4491d powerpc: Fix problem with time going backwards
The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side
effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by
gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond.  There were two reasons:
(1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31
timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and
(2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of
jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards
when the timebase factor gets reduced.

This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in
2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b)
adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday
result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock
and the timer interrupt is late).  In this case the adjustment will
reduce to zero eventually because of (a).

Paul Mackerras 1bd79336a4 powerpc: Fix various syscall/signal/swapcontext bugs
A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
simplified and improved:

* 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
  path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
  bit being set.  In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
  the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
  which is not necessarily the current system call.

* 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
  path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.

* _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
  _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
  by system calls.  I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.

* On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
  to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
  was traced or single-stepped).  Thus the non-volatile registers
  weren't restored on exit from a signal handler.  We probably got
  away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
  alter the non-volatile registers.

* On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
  making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
  preemption and signal delivery.

* 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
  set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
  non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.

* I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
  non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
  enable interrupts first.

Linus Torvalds c05b477045 ppc64: make sure to align stack pointer to 16 bytes at boot
yaboot is scrogged and calls us with an invalid stack alignment,
it seems.

On logically-partitioned machines the first element of the reg
property in the memory node is defined to be the "RMO" region,
i.e. the memory that the processor can access in real mode.  On other
machines the first element has no special meaning, so only take it to
be the RMO region on LPAR machines.

Paul Mackerras cd8a5673e9 powerpc: Fix might-sleep warning in program check exception handler
On 32-bit, the exception prolog for the program check exception doesn't
enable interrupts early on.  If it is an illegal instruction exception,
we read the instruction in order to emulate certain instructions, and
the get_user of the instruction triggers a WARN_ON since interrupts
are still disabled.  This adds a local_irq_enable() to enable
interrupts before reading the instruction.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0551fbd29e [PATCH] Add mm->task_size and fix powerpc vdso
This patch adds mm->task_size to keep track of the task size of a given mm
and uses that to fix the powerpc vdso so that it uses the mm task size to
decide what pages to fault in instead of the current thread flags (which
broke when ptracing).

(akpm: I expect that mm_struct.task_size will become the way in which we
finally sort out the confusion between 32-bit processes and 32-bit mm's.  It
may need tweaks, but at this stage this patch is powerpc-only.)

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 634473db86 [PATCH] powerpc: vdso 64bits gettimeofday bug
A bug in the assembly code of the vdso can cause gettimeofday() to hang
or to return incorrect results. The wrong register was used to test for
pending updates of the calibration variables and to create a dependency
for subsequent loads. This fixes it.

Kumar Gala 329dda083e [PATCH] powerpc: Fix mem= cmdline handling on arch/powerpc for !MULTIPLATFORM
mem= command line option was being ignored in arch/powerpc if we were not
a CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM (which is handled via prom_init stub). The initial
command line extraction and parsing needed to be moved earlier in the boot
process and have code to actual parse mem= and do something about it.

Also, fixed a compile warning in the file.
