Well, it's a bit late right now, as we are merging stuff that is already
in our trees, and we are busy with that, so this is likely to be ignored
until after .38-rc1 is out.

So, care to resend this after .38-rc1 is out so people can pay attention
to it?

Are you sure this is still an issue?  I thought we solved this last
kernel or so with a simple patch?

I was afraid of this. I didn't get a chance to get it out sooner but thought
I would send it out anyway.

I'll go back and look at this again.

What I recall fixing is the symbolic linking from the node* to the
memory section.  In that case, we cached the most recent mem section
and since they always were added sequentially, the cache saved a rescan.

Of course, I could be remembering something completely unrelated.

* [PATCH 00/13] powerpc: Backport 8xx TLB to 2.4
From: Joakim Tjernlund @ 2011-01-10 21:37 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Willy Tarreau, Scott Wood, linuxppc-dev

This is a backport from 2.6 which I did to overcome 8xx CPU
bugs. 8xx does not update the DAR register when taking a TLB
error caused by dcbX and icbi insns which makes it very
tricky to use these insns. Also the dcbst wrongly sets the
the store bit when faulting into DTLB error.
A few more bugs very found during development.

I know 2.4 is in strict maintenance mode and 8xx is obsolete
but as it is still in use I wanted 8xx to age with grace.

Joakim Tjernlund (13):
  8xx: Use a macro to simpliy CPU6 errata code.
  8xx: Tag DAR with 0x00f0 to catch buggy instructions.
  8xx: invalidate non present TLBs
  8xx: Fix CONFIG_PIN_TLB
  8xx: Update TLB asm so it behaves as linux mm expects.
  8xx: Always pin kernel instruction TLB
  8xx: Fixup DAR from buggy dcbX instructions.
  8xx: CPU6 errata make DTLB error too big to fit.
  8xx: Add missing Guarded setting in DTLB Error.
  8xx: Restore _PAGE_WRITETHRU
  8xx: start using dcbX instructions in various copy routines
  8xx: Optimize ITLBMiss handler.
  8xx: Optimize TLB Miss handlers

* [PATCH 02/13] 8xx: Tag DAR with 0x00f0 to catch buggy instructions.

  To: Willy Tarreau, Scott Wood, linuxppc-dev
In-Reply-To: <1294695479-344-1-git-send-email-Joakim.Tjernlund@transmode.se>

dcbz, dcbf, dcbi, dcbst and icbi do not set DAR when they
cause a DTLB Error. Dectect this by tagging DAR with 0x00f0
at every exception exit that modifies DAR.
This also fixes MachineCheck to pass DAR and DSISR as well.

8xx sometimes need to load a invalid/non-present TLBs in
it DTLB asm handler.
These must be invalidated separaly as linux mm don't.

* [PATCH 05/13] 8xx: Update TLB asm so it behaves as linux mm expects.
From: Joakim Tjernlund @ 2011-01-10 21:37 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Willy Tarreau, Scott Wood, linuxppc-dev
In-Reply-To: <1294695479-344-1-git-send-email-Joakim.Tjernlund@transmode.se>

Update the TLB asm to make proper use of _PAGE_DIRTY and _PAGE_ACCESSED.
Get rid of _PAGE_HWWRITE too.
Pros:
  - PRESENT is copied to ACCESSED, fixing accounting
  - DIRTY is mapped to 0x100, the changed bit, and is set directly
    when a page has been made dirty.
  - Proper RO/RW mapping of user space.
  - Free up 2 SW TLB bits in the linux pte(add back _PAGE_WRITETHRU ?)
  - kernel RO/user NA support. Not sure this is really needed, would save
    a few insn if not required.
Cons:
  - A few more instructions in the DTLB Miss routine.

* [PATCH 06/13] 8xx: Always pin kernel instruction TLB
From: Joakim Tjernlund @ 2011-01-10 21:37 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Willy Tarreau, Scott Wood, linuxppc-dev
In-Reply-To: <1294695479-344-1-git-send-email-Joakim.Tjernlund@transmode.se>

Various kernel asm modifies SRR0/SRR1 just before executing
a rfi. If such code crosses a page boundary you risk a TLB miss
which will clobber SRR0/SRR1. Avoid this by always pinning
kernel instruction TLB space.

* [PATCH 07/13] 8xx: Fixup DAR from buggy dcbX instructions.
From: Joakim Tjernlund @ 2011-01-10 21:37 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Willy Tarreau, Scott Wood, linuxppc-dev
In-Reply-To: <1294695479-344-1-git-send-email-Joakim.Tjernlund@transmode.se>

This is an assembler version to fixup DAR not being set
by dcbX, icbi instructions. There are two versions, one
uses selfmodifing code, the other uses a
jump table but is much bigger(default).

only DTLB Miss did set this bit, DTLB Error needs too otherwise
the setting is lost when the page becomes dirty.

8xx has not had WRITETHRU due to lack of bits in the pte.
After the recent rewrite of the 8xx TLB code, there are
two bits left. Use one of them to WRITETHRU.

* [PATCH 11/13] 8xx: start using dcbX instructions in various copy routines
From: Joakim Tjernlund @ 2011-01-10 21:37 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Willy Tarreau, Scott Wood, linuxppc-dev
In-Reply-To: <1294695479-344-1-git-send-email-Joakim.Tjernlund@transmode.se>

Now that 8xx can fixup dcbX instructions, start using them
where possible like every other PowerPc arch do.

* [PATCH] ehci-fsl: Fix 'have_sysif_regs' detection
From: Peter Tyser @ 2011-01-10 23:34 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-usb; +Cc: Peter Tyser, Anatolij Gustschin, linuxppc-dev, David Brownell

Previously a check was done on an ID register at the base of a CPU's
internal USB registers to determine if system interface regsiters were
present.  The check looked for an ID register that had the format
ID[0:5] == ~ID[8:13] as described in the MPC5121 User's Manual to
determine if a MPC5121 or MPC83xx/85xx was being used.

There are two issues with this method:
- The ID register is not defined on the MPC83xx/85xx CPUs, so its
  unclear what is being checked on them.
- Newer CPUs such as the P4080 also don't document the ID register, but
  do share the same format as the MPC5121.  Thus the previous code did
  not set 'have_sysif_regs' properly which results in the P4080 not
  properly initializing its USB ports.

Using the device tree 'compatible' node is a cleaner way to determine if
'have_sysif_regs' should be set and resolves the USB initialization issue
seen on the P4080.

Tested on a P4080-based system and compile tested on mpc512x_defconfig
with Freescale EHCI driver enabled.

Right so instead of a 1:1 mapping you have a N:1 mapping. We support
both forms, tho it would have been nice if the fsl PCI code had properly
reconfigured the controller based on the DT.

Yes, definitely try different controllers. Also check your voltages just
in case....

Other things you can do is double check the settings of things like max
read request size, max payload size etc... in the PCIe config space of
the device and the bridge.

Thank you very much for taking care of this, that's very much appreciated.
I'll look at this ASAP. Just a quick question in order to be certain, did
you have the opportunity to test all of these changes on real hardware ?

I tested these on real 8xx HW but I used an older 2.4 linux as we haven't
moved forward on 2.4 for quite some time.
The affected files were almost identical though. Would be great if
Scott could give them a spin on 8xx with current 2.4.

a better workaround in the TLB error handler so this bad
