There are userspace instrumentation tools that need to monitor spu context switches. This patch adds a new file called 'switch_log' to each spufs context directory that can be used to monitor the context switches. Context switch in/out and exit from spu_run are monitored after the file was first opened and can be read from it. Signed-off-by:

At present, ppu-gdb can't trace spu infomation with coredump generated by the kernel. While the core dumps notes have correct contents, they have the wrong names, as the file descriptors used to generate the note names are off-by-one. An application that opens a SPE context as fd 3, the current core dump code will generate notes like: SPU/4/mem SPU/4/regs etc. This confuses GDB, which knows it is looking for SPE context 3 (from parsing the spu_context_run system call arguments), and cannot find any notes that match context 3. This change corrects the file descriptor counting, to only increment the fd until after we've written the note name. Signed-off-by:

During spu_process callback, we release then acquire the SPU, but keep a pointer to the local store memory. Since the context may have been scheduled out during the callback, the ls pointer may become invalid. This change reacquires the pointer to the context local store after spu_acquire()-ing, so that it isn't invalidated by a context switch. Signed-off-by:

The cell IOMMU code to parse the dma-ranges properties, used for the fixed mapping, was broken in two ways for some devices. Firstly it didn't cope with empty dma-ranges properties. An empty property implies no translation so can be safely skipped. The code also wrongly assumed it would be looking at PCI devices, and hard coded the number of address and size cells.

At present, we can hit the BUG_ON in __spu_update_sched_info by reading the regs file of a context between two calls to spu_run. The spu_release_saved called by spufs_regs_read() is resulting in the (now non-runnable) context being placed back on the run queue, so the next call to spu_run ends up in the bug condition. This change uses the SPU_SCHED_SPU_RUN flag to only reschedule a context if it's still in spu_run(). Signed-off-by:

The only tricky part is we need to adjust the PTE insertion loop to cater for holes in the page table. The PTEs for each segment start on a 4K boundary, so with 16M pages we have 16 PTEs per segment and then a gap to the next 4K page boundary. It might be possible to allocate the PTEs for each segment separately, saving the memory currently filling the gaps. However we'd need to check that's OK with the hardware, and that it actually saves memory. Signed-off-by:

Currently the cell IOMMU code allocates the entire IOMMU page table in a contiguous chunk. This is nice and tidy, but for machines with larger amounts of RAM the page table allocation can fail due to it simply being too large. So split the segment table and page table setup routine, and arrange to have the dynamic and fixed page tables allocated separately. Signed-off-by:

The cell IOMMU tce build and free routines use pte_offset to convert the index passed from the generic IOMMU code into a page table offset. This takes into account the SPIDER_DMA_OFFSET which sets the top bit of every DMA address. However it doesn't cater for the IOMMU window starting at a non-zero address, as the base of the window is not incorporated into pte_offset at all. As it turns out tbl->it_offset already contains the value we need, it takes into account the base of the window and also pte_offset. So use it instead! Signed-off-by:

There is a potential race between flushes of the entire SLB in the MFC and the point where new entries are being established. The problem is that we might put a ESID entry into the MFC SLB when the VSID entry has just been cleared by the global flush. This can be circumvented by holding the register_lock throughout both the flushing and the creation of SLB entries. Signed-off-by:

When we replace an SLB entry in the MFC after using up all the available entries, there is a short window in which an incorrect entry is marked as valid. The problem is that the 'valid' bit is stored in the ESID, which is always written after the VSID. Overwriting the VSID first will make the original ESID entry point to the new VSID, which means that any concurrent DMA accessing the old ESID ends up being redirected to the new virtual address. A few cycles later, we write the new ESID and everything is fine again. That race can be closed by writing a zero entry to the ESID first, which makes sure that the VSID is not accessed until we write the new ESID. Note that we don't actually need to invalidate the SLB entry using the invalidation register, which would also flush any ERAT entries for that segment, because the segment translation does not become invalid but is only removed from the SLB cache.

There is a small race between the context save procedure and the SPU interrupt handling, where we expect all interrupt processing to have finished after disabling them, while an interrupt is still being processed on another CPU. The obvious fix is to call synchronize_irq() after disabling the interrupts at the start of the context save procedure to make sure we never access the SPU any more during an ongoing save or even after that.

We have a small window where a spu context may be destroyed while we're servicing a page fault (from another thread) to the context's problem state mapping. After we up_read() the mmap_sem, it's possible that the context is destroyed by its owning thread, and so the later references to ctx are invalid. This can maifest as a deadlock on the (now free()-ed) context state mutex. This change adds a reference to the context before we release the mmap_sem, so that the context cannot be destroyed.

2.6.25 has a regression where we can starve the scheduler by creating (N_SPES+1) contexts, then running them one at a time. The final context will never be run, as the other contexts are loaded on the SPEs, none of which are repoted as free (ie, spu->alloc_state != SPU_FREE), so spu_get_idle() doesn't give us a spu to run on. Because all of the contexts are stopped, none are descheduled by the scheduler tick, as spusched_tick returns if spu_stopped(ctx). This change replaces the spu_stopped() check with checking for SCHED_IDLE in ctx->policy. We set a context's policy to SCHED_IDLE when we're not in spu_run(). We also favour SCHED_IDLE contexts when looking for contexts to unbind, but leave their timeslice intact for later resumption.

Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case (one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path. - Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback. Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the callback instead of the marker site. Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the preempt disable section. - Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically armed. Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused. This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe "arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a va_list * instead of a "...". If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it, connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail. It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations : Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.
