treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12Z

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

spufs: fix a leak in spufs_create_context()

2025-03-13T02:13:36Z

Leak fixes back in 2008 missed one case - if we are trying to set affinity and spufs_mkdir() fails, we need to drop the reference to neighbor. Fixes: 58119068cb27 "[POWERPC] spufs: Fix memory leak on SPU affinity" Signed-off-by: Al Viro

spufs: fix gang directory lifetimes

2025-03-13T02:13:34Z

prior to "[POWERPC] spufs: Fix gang destroy leaks" we used to have a problem with gang lifetimes - creation of a gang returns opened gang directory, which normally gets removed when that gets closed, but if somebody has created a context belonging to that gang and kept it alive until the gang got closed, removal failed and we ended up with a leak. Unfortunately, it had been fixed the wrong way. Dentry of gang directory was no longer pinned, and rmdir on close was gone. One problem was that failure of open kept calling simple_rmdir() as cleanup, which meant an unbalanced dput(). Another bug was in the success case - gang creation incremented link count on root directory, but that was no longer undone when gang got destroyed. Fix consists of * reverting the commit in question * adding a counter to gang, protected by ->i_rwsem of gang directory inode. * having it set to 1 at creation time, dropped in both spufs_dir_close() and spufs_gang_close() and bumped in spufs_create_context(), provided that it's not 0. * using simple_recursive_removal() to take the gang directory out when counter reaches zero.

spufs: fix a leak on spufs_new_file() failure

2025-03-13T02:13:27Z

It's called from spufs_fill_dir(), and caller of that will do spufs_rmdir() in case of failure. That does remove everything we'd managed to create, but... the problem dentry is still negative. IOW, it needs to be explicitly dropped. Fixes: 3f51dd91c807 "[PATCH] spufs: fix spufs_fill_dir error path" Signed-off-by: Al Viro

powerpc/xmon: Remove SPU debug and disassembly

2025-02-26T15:45:08Z

Now that the IBM Cell Blade support is removed, the xmon SPU support is effectively unusable. That is because PS3 doesn't implement udbg_getc which is required to send input to xmon. So remove the xmon SPU support. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241218105523.416573-6-mpe@ellerman.id.au

powerpc/cell: Remove CBE_CPUFREQ_SPU_GOVERNOR

2025-02-26T15:45:07Z

Although this driver is still buildable, it can't actually do anything in practice now that the low-level cpufreq driver for Cell has been disabled due to the removal of CBE_RAS.

powerpc: Remove PPC_PMI and driver

2025-02-26T15:45:07Z

CONFIG_PPC_PMI is no longer selectable now that PPC_IBM_CELL_BLADE has been removed, via the dependency on PPC_IBM_CELL_POWERBUTTON. So remove it and the driver, and the pmi.h header which it was the only user of.

powerpc/cell: Remove support for IBM Cell Blades

2025-02-26T15:45:07Z

IBM Cell Blades used the Cell processor and the "blade" server form factor. They were sold as models QS20, QS21 & QS22 from roughly 2006 to 2012 [1]. They were used in a few supercomputers (eg. Roadrunner) that have since been dismantled, and were not that widely used otherwise. Until recently I still had a working QS22, which meant I was able to keep the platform support working, but unfortunately that machine has now died. I'm not aware of any users. If there is a user that wants to keep the upstream support working, we can look at bringing some of the code back as appropriate. See previous discussion at [2]. Remove the top-level config symbol PPC_IBM_CELL_BLADE, and then the dependent symbols PPC_CELL_NATIVE, PPC_CELL_COMMON, CBE_RAS, PPC_IBM_CELL_RESETBUTTON, PPC_IBM_CELL_POWERBUTTON, CBE_THERM, and AXON_MSI. Then remove the associated C files and headers, and trim unused header content (some is shared with PS3). Note that PPC_CELL_COMMON sounds like it would build code shared with PS3, but it does not. It's a relic from when code was shared between the Blade support and QPACE support. Most of the primary authors already have CREDITS entries, with the exception of Christian, so add one for him.
