PowerPC's NUMA domain doesn't currently set up some of the newer
sched-domains parameters.
Brian Twichell <tbrian@us.ibm.com> discovered and diagnosed a 1.5% OLTP
database regression on a 4 core POWER5 system that was due to the use of
NUMA scheduling on ppc64.
This patch applies some saneish values to the parameters, in line with
other architectures. This solves the regression.

The vDSO functions should have the same calling convention as a syscall.
Unfortunately, they currently don't set the cr0.so bit which is used to
indicate an error. This patch makes them clear this bit unconditionally
since all functions currently succeed. The syscall fallback done by some
of them will eventually override this if the syscall fails.
This also changes the symbol version of all vdso exports to make sure
glibc can differenciate between old and fixed calls for existing ones
like __kernel_gettimeofday.

The merge of machine types broke boot with yaboot & ARCH=ppc due to the
old code still retreiving the old-syle machine type passed in by yaboot.
This patch fixes it by translating those old numbers. Since that whole
mecanism is deprecated, this is a temporary fix until ARCH=ppc uses the
new prom_init that the merged architecture now uses for both ppc32 and
ppc64 (after 2.6.15)

ever since suspend to disk works I had the problem that headphone
(un)plugging doesn't get detected properly anymore after the first
resume.
Reloading the module worked around this ever since, however the real
cause of the problem was that after a resume the driver only got
interrupts on "unplug" not on "plug". Reactivating the headphone status
interrupt in tumbler_resume fixes this. This shouldn't cause
any trouble with software suspend, but it would be nice if somebody
could confirm this:

I discovered that in some cases (PowerMac for example) we wouldn't
properly map the PCI IO space on recent kernels. In addition, the code
for initializing PCI host bridges was scattered all over the place with
some duplication between platforms.
This patch fixes the problem and does a small cleanup by creating a
pcibios_alloc_controller() in pci_64.c that is similar to the one in
pci_32.c (just takes an additional device node argument) that takes care
of all the grunt allocation and initialisation work. It should work for
both boot time and dynamically allocated PHBs.

Currently 8xx fails to boot due to endless pagefaults.
Seems the bug is exposed by the change which avoids flushing the
TLB when not necessary (in case the pte has not changed), introduced
recently:
__handle_mm_fault():
entry = pte_mkyoung(entry);
if (!pte_same(old_entry, entry)) {
ptep_set_access_flags(vma, address, pte, entry, write_access);
update_mmu_cache(vma, address, entry);
lazy_mmu_prot_update(entry);
} else {
/*
* This is needed only for protection faults but the arch code
* is not yet telling us if this is a protection fault or not.
* This still avoids useless tlb flushes for .text page faults
* with threads.
*/
if (write_access)
flush_tlb_page(vma, address);
}
The "update_mmu_cache()" call was unconditional before, which caused the TLB
to be flushed by:
if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
struct page *page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
if (!PageReserved(page)
&& !test_bit(PG_arch_1, &page->flags)) {
if (vma->vm_mm == current->active_mm) {
#ifdef CONFIG_8xx
/* On 8xx, cache control instructions (particularly
* "dcbst" from flush_dcache_icache) fault as write
* operation if there is an unpopulated TLB entry
* for the address in question. To workaround that,
* we invalidate the TLB here, thus avoiding dcbst
* misbehaviour.
*/
_tlbie(address);
#endif
__flush_dcache_icache((void *) address);
} else
flush_dcache_icache_page(page);
set_bit(PG_arch_1, &page->flags);
}
Which worked to due to pure luck: PG_arch_1 was always unset before, but
now it isnt.
The root of the problem are the changes against the 8xx TLB handlers introduced
during v2.6. What happens is the TLBMiss handlers load the zeroed pte into
the TLB, causing the TLBError handler to be invoked (thats two TLB faults per
pagefault), which then jumps to the generic MM code to setup the pte.
The bug is that the zeroed TLB is not invalidated (the same reason
for the "dcbst" misbehaviour), resulting in infinite TLBError faults.
The "two exception" approach requires a TLB flush (to nuke the zeroed TLB)
at each PTE update for correct behaviour:

This patch should fix the crashes we have been seeing on 64-bit
powerpc systems with a memory hole when sparsemem is enabled.
I'd appreciate it if people who know more about NUMA and sparsemem
than me could look over it.
There were two bugs. The first was that if NUMA was enabled but there
was no NUMA information for the machine, the setup_nonnuma() function
was adding a single region, assuming memory was contiguous. The
second was that the loops in mem_init() and show_mem() assumed that
all pages within the span of a pgdat were valid (had a valid struct
page).
I also fixed the incorrect setting of num_physpages that Mike Kravetz
pointed out.

Our performance validation on 2.6.15-rc1 caught a disastrous performance
regression on ia64 with netperf (-98%) and volanomark (-58%) compares to
previous kernel version 2.6.14-git7. See the following chart (result
group 1 & 2).
http://kernel-perf.sourceforge.net/results.machine_id=26.html
We have root caused it to commit 64c7c8f885
This changeset broke the ia64 task resched notification. In
sched.c:resched_task(), a reschedule IPI is conditioned upon
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG. However, the above changeset unconditionally set
the polling thread flag for idle tasks regardless whether pal_halt_light
is in use or not. As a result, resched IPI is not sent from
resched_task(). And since the default behavior on ia64 is to use
pal_halt_light, we end up delaying the rescheduling task until next
timer tick, and thus cause the performance regression.
This fixes the performance bug. I'm glad our performance suite is
turning up bad performance bug like this in time.
