powerpc: Unconditionally enabled irq stacks

2010-06-15T05:02:37+00:00

Irq stacks provide an essential protection from stack overflows through
external interrupts, at the cost of two additionals stacks per CPU.

Enable them unconditionally to simplify the kernel build and prevent
people from accidentally disabling them.

powerpc: Use more accurate limit for first segment memory allocations

2010-05-21T07:31:10+00:00

Author: Milton Miller 

On large machines we are running out of room below 256MB. In some cases we
only need to ensure the allocation is in the first segment, which may be
256MB or 1TB.

Add slb0_limit and use it to specify the upper limit for the irqstack and
emergency stacks.

On a large ppc64 box, this fixes a panic at boot when the crashkernel=
option is specified (previously we would run out of memory below 256MB).

powerpc: Use common cpu_die (fixes SMP+SUSPEND build)

2010-05-21T07:31:08+00:00

Configuring a powerpc 32 bit kernel for both SMP and SUSPEND turns on
CPU_HOTPLUG to enable disable_nonboot_cpus to be called by the common
suspend code.  Previously the definition of cpu_die for ppc32 was in
the powermac platform code, causing it to be undefined if that platform
as not selected.

arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function 'cpu_idle':
arch/powerpc/kernel/idle.c:98: undefined reference to 'cpu_die'

Move the code from setup_64 to smp.c and rename the power mac
versions to their specific names.

Note that this does not setup the cpu_die pointers in either
smp_ops (request a given cpu die) or ppc_md (make this cpu die),
for other platforms but there are generic versions in smp.c.

powerpc: Fix swiotlb to respect the boot option

2010-03-19T05:38:16+00:00

powerpc initializes swiotlb before parsing the kernel boot options so
swiotlb options (e.g. specifying the swiotlb buffer size) are ignored.

Any time before freeing bootmem works for swiotlb so this patch moves
powerpc's swiotlb initialization after parsing the kernel boot
options, mem_init (as x86 does).

powerpc: Dynamically allocate pacas

2010-03-09T00:52:52+00:00

On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for
each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically
allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will
waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus.

We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at
boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access
the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system.

The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas,
but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any
unused pacas.

swiotlb: Defer swiotlb init printing, export swiotlb_print_info()

2009-11-10T11:32:00+00:00

This enables us to avoid printing swiotlb memory info when we
initialize swiotlb. After swiotlb initialization, we could find
that we don't need swiotlb.

This patch removes the code to print swiotlb memory info in
swiotlb_init() and exports the function to do that.

powerpc: Enable sparse irq_descs on powerpc

2009-10-30T06:21:31+00:00

Defining CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ enables generic code that gets rid of the
static irq_desc array, and replaces it with an array of pointers to
irq_descs.

It also allows node local allocation of irq_descs, however we
currently don't have the information available to do that, so we just
allocate them on all on node 0.
