The description says:
Cause IO segments sent to a device for DMA to be merged virtually
by the IOMMU when they happen to have been allocated contiguously.
This doesn't add pressure to the IOMMU allocator. However, some
drivers don't support getting large merged segments coming back
from *_map_sg().
Most drivers don't have this problem; it is safe to say Y here.
It's out of date. Long ago, drivers didn't have a way to tell IOMMUs
about their segment length limit (that is, the maximum segment length
that they can handle). So IOMMUs merged as many segments as possible
and gave too large segments to drivers.
dma_get_max_seg_size() was introduced to solve the above
problem. Device drives can use the API to tell IOMMU about the maximum
segment length that they can handle. In addition, the default limit
(64K) should be safe for everyone.
So this config option seems to be unnecessary.
Note that this config option just enables users to disable the virtual
merging by default. Users can still disable the virtual merging by the
boot parameter.

powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers
From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the
advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors:
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported
Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440
hardware. I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC
and 2 DAC registers. For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as
well as the DAC ranges.

With dynamic irq descriptors the overhead of a large NR_IRQS is much lower
than it used to be. With more MSI-X capable adapters and drivers exploiting
multiple vectors we may as well allow the user to increase it beyond the
current maximum of 512.
32768 seems large enough that we'd never have to bump it again (although I bet
my prediction is horribly wrong). It boot tests OK and the vmlinux footprint
increase is only around 500kB due to:
struct irq_map_entry irq_map[NR_IRQS];

Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to
Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2
of the patch.
In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an
interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system.
This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate
cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each
arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding
and removing cpus to/from the system.
This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts
from writes to the sysfs files.
The creation and use of these files is regulated by the
CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the
capability will have the files created.

Just as with kexec, hibernation may fail even on well-tested platforms:
some PCI device, a driver of which doesn't play well with hibernation,
is enough to break resuming.
Hibernation code is not much platform dependent, and hiding features only
because these were not verified on a particular hardware is
counterproductive: we just prevent the features from being widely tested.
For example, with this patch I just tested hibernation on a MPC83xx
board, and it works quite well, modulo a few drivers that need some
fixing.
So, let's make it possible to select hibernation support for all
PowerPCs, then let's wait for any possible bug reports, and actually fix
(or just collect ;-) the bugs instead of hiding them. If some platforms
really can't stand hibernation, we can make a blacklist, with proper
comments why exactly hibernation doesn't work, whether it is possible to
fix, and what needs to be done to fix it.
CONFIG_HIBERNATION is still =n by default, so the commit doesn't change
anything apart from ability to set it to =y.
I'm not sure if EXPERIMENTAL dependency is needed, I'd rather not add it
for a few reasons:
1) It doesn't matter much, for distro kernels user has no clue that some
feature is experimental. Majority of defconfigs enable EXPERIMENTAL
anyway (90 vs. 4, which, btw, means that EXPERIMENTAL is overused
in Kconfigs);
2) EXPERIMENTAL is a good thing for features that change default
behaviour of a kernel, while for hibernation user has to explicitly
issue 'echo disk > /sys/power/state' to trigger any hibernation bugs;
3) Per init/Kconfig, EXPERIMENTAL is a good thing to scare and discourage
users from 'widespread use of a feature', while we want to encourage
that use.

Some System p configurations can already have more than 16 nodes so we
need to increase NODES_SHIFT. I chose 256 to give us some room to grow in the
future, although we can look at something smaller if the memory bloat is
considered too much.
Unless we clamp MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS we end up with 300kB of extra bloat in
early_node_map in mm/page_alloc.c:
< 6144 early_node_map
> 307200 early_node_map
due to:
#if MAX_NUMNODES >= 32
/* If there can be many nodes, allow up to 50 holes per node */
#define MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS (MAX_NUMNODES*50)
#else
/* By default, allow up to 256 distinct regions */
#define MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS 256
Since our memory is mostly contiguous it seems reasonable to keep this
at 256 for now. I also set 32bit to 32 to save space (is there any chance
a 32bit system will have more than 32 discontiguous memory ranges?).
Even with that fixed we have a few data structures that grow:
< 896 bootmem_node_data

< 1280 node_devices
> 20480 node_devices

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

The current definitions set ranges and defaults for 32 and 64-bit
only using "PPC_STD_MMU" which means hash based MMU. This uselessly
restrict the usefulness for the upcoming 64-bit BookE port, but more
than that, it's broken on 32-bit since the only 32-bit platform
supporting multiple page sizes currently is 44x which does -not-

Add the low level irq tracing hooks for 32-bit powerpc needed
to enable full lockdep functionality.
The approach taken to deal with the code in entry_32.S is that
we don't trace all the transitions of MSR:EE when we just turn
it off to peek at TI_FLAGS without races. Only when we are
calling into C code or returning from exceptions with a state
that have changed from what lockdep thinks.
There's a little bugger though: If we take an exception that
keeps interrupts enabled (such as an alignment exception) while
interrupts are enabled, we will call trace_hardirqs_on() on the
way back spurriously. Not a big deal, but to get rid of it would
require remembering in pt_regs that the exception was one of the
type that kept interrupts enabled which we don't know at this
stage. (Well, we could test all cases for regs->trap but that
sucks too much).

This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
dynamic percpu allocator. The first chunk is allocated using
embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules. This ensures that
the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
introduce much breakage.
s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
range limit the addressing model imposes. Unfortunately, this breaks
if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
archs aren't converted.
The following architectures are affected by this change.
* sh
* arm
* cris
* mips
* sparc(32)
* blackfin
* avr32
* parisc (broken, under investigation)
* m32r
* powerpc(32)
As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
archs. These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
conversion is not trivial.
* powerpc(64)
* sparc(64)
* ia64
* alpha
* s390
Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
doesn't use default first chunk initialization). Compile tested on
sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.
Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc. The problem is
still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
forward and fixing parisc later.

This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc. Since we
don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet,
only software counters can be used.
Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as
64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of
set_perf_counter_pending(). This needs to arrange for
perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled.
Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit
set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the
decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending
in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already
pending). When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be
called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending().
We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call
perf_counter_do_pending() or not.
This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT,
which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU
support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the
powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.

The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a
Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing
actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there),
or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single
PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual
address space.
This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically
locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole
in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that
area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes
from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but

This reverts commit 33f00dcedb.
While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead
of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc
one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since
dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts
and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\ that :-(
Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all
drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to
our custom virtual space allocator.
There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping
would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time.
However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is
both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things
do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

The powerpc kernel always requires an Open Firmware like device tree
to supply device information. On systems without OF, this comes from
a flattened device tree blob. This blob is usually generated by dtc,
a tool which compiles a text description of the device tree into the
flattened format used by the kernel. Sometimes, the bootwrapper makes
small changes to the pre-compiled device tree blob (e.g. filling in
the size of RAM). To do this it uses the libfdt library.
Because these are only used on powerpc, the code for both these tools
is included under arch/powerpc/boot (these were imported and are
periodically updated from the upstream dtc tree).
However, the microblaze architecture, currently being prepared for
merging to mainline also uses dtc to produce device tree blobs. A few
other archs have also mentioned some interest in using dtc.
Therefore, this patch moves dtc and libfdt from arch/powerpc into
scripts, where it can be used by any architecture.
The vast bulk of this patch is a literal move, the rest is adjusting
the various Makefiles to use dtc and libfdt correctly from their new
locations.

CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().
This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

The recent addition of CONFIG_LOWMEM_CAM_BOOL and
CONFIG_LOWMEM_CAM_NUM cause the latter to show up in configs
that do not need it during 'make oldconfig'. Make LOWMEM_CAM_NUM
depend on FSL_BOOKE.

CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is a remain of the pre-powerpc days and isn't
really meaningful anymore. It was basically equivalent to PPC64 || 6xx.
This removes it along with the following changes:
- 32-bit platforms that relied on PPC32 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now rely
on 6xx which is what they want anyway.
- A new symbol, PPC_BOOK3S, is defined that represent compliance with
the "Server" variant of the architecture. This is set when either 6xx
or PPC64 is set and open the door for future BOOK3E 64-bit.
- 64-bit platforms that relied on PPC64 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now use
PPC64 && PPC_BOOK3S
- A separate and selectable CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE option is now
used to control the use of prom_init.c

This patch rewrites consistent dma allocations support to use vmalloc
layer to allocate virtual memory space from vmalloc pool and get rid
of CONFIG_CONSISTENT_{START,SIZE}.
This greatly simplifies the code by effectively removing a custom
allocator we had for virtual space.

This is a port of the function graph tracer that was written by
Frederic Weisbecker for the x86.
This only works for PPC64 at the moment and only for static tracing.
PPC32 and dynamic function graph tracing support will come later.
The trace produces a visual calling of functions:
