powerpc: Move cpu hotplug driver lock from pseries to powerpc

2010-01-15T02:26:18Z

Move the defintion and lock helper routines for the cpu hotplug driver lock from pseries to powerpc code to avoid build breaks for platforms other than pseries that use cpu hotplug. Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot Acked-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: stop_this_cpu: remove the cpu from the online map.

Remove the CPU from the online map to prevent smp_call_function from sending messages to a stopped CPU. Signed-off-by: Valentine Barshak Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

percpu: make percpu symbols in powerpc unique

2009-10-29T13:34:14Z

This patch updates percpu related symbols in powerpc such that percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols. This serves two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols. * arch/powerpc/kernel/perf_callchain.c: s/callchain/cpu_perf_callchain/ * arch/powerpc/kernel/setup-common.c: s/pvr/cpu_pvr/ * arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dtl.c: s/dtl/cpu_dtl/ * arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/interrupt.c: s/iic/cpu_iic/ Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars which cause name clashes" patch.

cpumask: Use accessors for cpu_*_mask: powerpc

2009-09-24T00:04:48Z

Use the accessors rather than frobbing bits directly (the new versions are const). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Mike Travis

cpumask: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask: powerpc

2009-09-24T00:04:45Z

We're weaning the core code off handing cpumask's around on-stack. This introduces arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(), and by defining it, the old arch_send_call_function_ipi is defined by the core code. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

powerpc/85xx: Fix SMP compile error and allow NULL for smp_ops

powerpc/pseries: Reduce the polling interval in __cpu_up()

2009-08-27T03:12:54Z

Time time taken for a single cpu online operation on a pseries machine is as follows: Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): ~220ms. Shared LPAR (POWER5) : ~240ms. Of this time, approximately 200ms is taken up by __cpu_up(). This is because we poll every 200ms to check if the new cpu has notified it's presence through the cpu_callin_map. We repeat this operation until the new cpu sets the value in cpu_callin_map or 5 seconds elapse, whichever comes earlier. However, using completion_structs instead of polling loops, the time taken by the new processor to indicate it's presence has found to be less than 1ms on pseries. This method however may not work on all powerpc platforms due to the time-base synchronization code. Keeping this in mind, we could reduce msleep polling interval from 200ms to 1ms while retaining the 5 second timeout. With this, the time taken for a cpu online operation changes as follows: Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): 20-25ms. Shared LPAR (POWER5) : 60-80ms. In both these cases, it was found that the code polls through the loop only once indicating that 1ms is a reasonable value, atleast on pseries. The code needs testing on other powerpc platforms.

powerpc/pmac: Fix issues with PowerMac "PowerSurge" SMP

2009-06-26T04:37:24Z

The old PowerSurge SMP (ie, dual or quad 604 machines) code has numerous issues in modern world. One is cpu_possible_map is set too late (the device-tree is bogus) so we fail to allocate the interrupt stacks and crash. Another problem is the fact the timebase is frozen by the bringup of the second CPU so the delays in the generic code will hang, we need to move some of the calling procedure to inside the powermac code. This makes it boot again for me Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt
