David Gibson ea20ff5d03 [POWERPC] Add device tree for Ebony
Add a device tree for the Ebony evaluation board (440GP based).  This
tree is not complete or finalized.  This tree needs a version of dtc
recent enough to include reference-to-labels to process.

David Gibson 2cd9764770 [POWERPC] Add powerpc/platforms/44x, disable platforms/4xx for now
This prepares for Ebony/440 support by creating an
arch/powerpc/platforms/44x directory.  It is populated with a single
misc_44x.S file, into which is moved the 44x specific reset code from
head_44x.S (on the grounds that we should really stop clogging up the
head_* files with random asm helper routines).

At the same time, we disable the (empty save Kconfig and Makefile)
arch/powerpc/platforms/4xx directory from the arch/powerpc/platforms
Makefile.  Contrary to the comment in
arch/powerpc/platforms/4xx/Makefile, attempting to build such an empty
Makefile will fail, thus breaking compile for the 44x platforms we're
about to add.  It can go back in once we start porting some of the 40x
platforms (and thus it becomes non-empty).

Michael Ellerman 05af7bd2d7 [POWERPC] MPIC U3/U4 MSI backend
MPIC U3/U4 MSI backend. Based on code from Segher, heavily hacked by me.
This only deals with MSI on U3/U4 MPICs, aka. CPC 9x5.

If we find a U3/U4 then we enable this backend, ie. take over the ppc_md
MSI hooks. We might need more elaborate logic in future to decide which
backend is enabled.

We need our own irq_chip so that we can do MSI masking/unmasking on
the device itself. We also need to mask explicitly on shutdown to make
sure we don't get bitten by lazy-disable semantics.

Michael Ellerman a7de7c7422 [POWERPC] MPIC MSI allocator
To support MSI on MPIC we need a way to reserve and allocate hardware irq
numbers, this patch implements an allocator for that purpose.

New firmware platforms must define a "msi-available-ranges" property on their
MPIC node for MSI to work. For U3/U4 we do a best-guess setup.

Michael Ellerman 85f2bf9f60 [POWERPC] RTAS MSI implementation
Implement MSI support via RTAS (RTAS = run-time firmware on pSeries
machines).  For now we assumes that if the required RTAS tokens for
MSI are present, then we want to use the RTAS MSI routines.

When RTAS is managing MSIs for us, it will/may enable MSI on devices that
support it by default. This is contrary to the Linux model where a device
is in LSI mode until the driver requests MSIs.

To remedy this we add a pci_irq_fixup call, which disables MSI if they've
been assigned by firmware and the device also supports LSI. Devices that
don't support LSI at all will be left as is, drivers are still expected
to call pci_enable_msi() before using the device.

At the moment there is no pci_irq_fixup on pSeries, so we can just set it
unconditionally. If other platforms use the RTAS MSI backend they'll need
to check that still holds.

Michael Ellerman df87ef5508 [POWERPC] PowerPC MSI infrastructure
This provides the architecture specific hooks to support MSI on
powerpc.  We implement the newly added arch_setup_msi_irqs() and
arch_teardown_msi_irqs(), and then delegate to ppc_md routines.

Platforms that don't implement MSI will leave the ppc_md calls blank,
arch_msi_check_device() will detect this and return ENOSYS. Drivers
should detect this error and continue to use LSI.

David Gibson d1953c8888 [POWERPC] Remove use of 4level-fixup.h for ppc32
For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack,
to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels
rather than 4.  This patch removes this, instead using the newer
pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd
pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels).

This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily
compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.

Adds the pSeries platform implementation for a new PCI API
which can be used to issue various types of PCI-E reset,
including PCI-E warm reset and PCI-E hot reset. This is needed
for an ipr PCI-E adapter which does not properly implement BIST.
Running BIST on this adapter results in PCI-E errors. The only
reliable reset mechanism that exists on this hardware is PCI
Fundamental reset (warm reset).

Paul Mackerras 11fbb00c67 [POWERPC] Cope with PCI host bridge I/O window not starting at 0
Currently our code to set up the data structures for a PCI host bridge
and create the mapping for its I/O window assumes that the window
starts at I/O port 0 on the PCI side.  If this is not true, we can end
up with I/O port numbers in the resources for PCI devices which will
cause an oops if a driver tries to access them via inb/outb etc.,
because there is no mapping for the corresponding addresses.

Normally the I/O window starts at 0, but there are some situations on
partitioned machines with a hypervisor where the window may not start
at 0.

This fixes the problem by allocating space for the range from 0 to the
end of the I/O window.  That is, hose->io_base_virt contains the
virtual address for I/O port 0 on the PCI bus, and thus the assumption
that hose->io_base_virt - pci_io_base is the offset between the
"global" I/O port numbers (those in the PCI device resources) and the
I/O port numbers on the PCI bus is maintained.

For PCI host bridges that are present at boot, we only map the portion
of that range that correspond to the bridge's I/O window.  For bridges
added after boot we ioremap the range from 0 to the end of the I/O
window, for now; in fact hot-added bridges should be using
reserve_phb_iospace() and __ioremap_explicit (so they get sensible
global port numbers), but we don't have the infrastructure yet to do
that (basically a free_phb_iospace() routine plus appropriate
locking).

Interestingly, this makes the two arms of the if statement in
get_bus_io_range do almost exactly the same thing; that function could
now be simplified in a further patch.

Jeff Dike 16dd07bc64 uml: more page fault path trimming
More trimming of the page fault path.

Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per
int.  The permission values are copied from libc so that they can be
passed to mmap and mprotect without any further conversion.

The register sets used by do_syscall_stub and copy_context_skas0 are
initialized once, at boot time, rather than once per call.

wait_stub_done checks whether it is getting the signals it expects by
comparing the wait status to a mask containing bits for the signals of
interest rather than comparing individually to the signal numbers.  It
also has one check for a wait failure instead of two.  The caller is
expected to do the initial continue of the stub.  This gets rid of an
argument and some logic.  The fname argument is gone, as that can be
had from a stack trace.

user_signal() is collapsed into userspace() as it is basically one or
two lines of code afterwards.

The physical memory remapping stuff is gone, as it is unused.

flush_tlb_page is inlined.

current must be valid when IRQs are handled, and there is no current for this

start_idle_thread must use the bare equivalents, which don't do anything with
signals.

Jeff Dike 2adcec2197 uml: send pointers instead of structures to I/O thread
Instead of writing entire structures between UML and the I/O thread, we send
pointers.  This cuts down on the amount of data being copied and possibly
allows more requests to be pending between the two.

This requires that the requests be kmalloced and freed instead of living on
the stack.

Jeff Dike a0044bdf60 uml: batch I/O requests
Send as many I/O requests to the I/O thread as possible, even though it will
still only handle one at a time.  This provides an opportunity to reduce
latency by starting one request before the previous one has been finished in
the driver.

Request handling is somewhat modernized by requesting sg pieces of a request
and handling them separately, finishing off the entire request after all the
pieces are done.

When a request queue stalls, normally because its pipe to the I/O thread is
full, it is put on the restart list.  This list is processed by starting up
the queues on it whenever there is some indication that progress might be
possible again.  Currently, this happens in the driver interrupt routine.
Some requests have been finished, so there is likely to be room in the pipe
again.

This almost doubles throughput when copying data between devices, but made no
noticable difference on anything else I tried.

Jeff Dike a61f334fd2 uml: convert libc layer to call read and write
This patch converts calls in the os layer to os_{read,write}_file to calls
directly to libc read() and write() where it is clear that the I/O buffer is
in the kernel.

We can do that here instead of calling os_{read,write}_file_k since we are in
libc code and can call libc directly.

With the change in the calls, error handling needs to be changed to refer to
errno directly rather than the return value of the call.

CATCH_EINTR wrappers were also added where needed.

Jeff Dike ef0470c053 uml: tidy libc code
This patch lays some groundwork for the next one, which converts calls to
os_{read,write}_file into {read,write}, by doing some tidying in the affected
areas.

do_not_aio gets restructured to make the final result a bit cleaner.

There are also whitespace and other formatting fixes, fixes in error messages,
and a typo fix.

Jeff Dike 3d564047a5 uml: start fixing os_read_file and os_write_file
This patch starts the removal of a very old, very broken piece of code.  This
stems from the problem of passing a userspace buffer into read() or write() on
the host.  If that buffer had not yet been faulted in, read and write will
return -EFAULT.

To avoid this problem, the solution was to fault the buffer in before the
system call by touching the pages that hold the buffer by doing a copy-user of
a byte to each page.  This is obviously bogus, but it does usually work, in tt
mode, since the kernel and process are in the same address space and userspace
addresses can be accessed directly in the kernel.

In skas mode, where the kernel and process are in separate address spaces, it
is completely bogus because the userspace address, which is invalid in the
kernel, is passed into the system call instead of the corresponding physical
address, which would be valid.  Here, it appears that this code, on every host
read() or write(), tries to fault in a random process page.  This doesn't seem
to cause any correctness problems, but there is a performance impact.  This
patch, and the ones following, result in a 10-15% performance gain on a kernel
build.

This code can't be immediately tossed out because when it is, you can't log
in.  Apparently, there is some code in the console driver which depends on
this somehow.

However, we can start removing it by switching the code which does I/O using
kernel addresses to using plain read() and write().  This patch introduces
os_read_file_k and os_write_file_k for use with kernel buffers and converts
all call locations which use obvious kernel buffers to use them.  These
include I/O using buffers which are local variables which are on the stack or
kmalloc-ed.  Later patches will handle the less obvious cases, followed by a
mass conversion back to the original interface.
