Christoph Hellwig eebead5b8f [POWERPC] spufs: Fix state_mutex leaks
Fix various state_mutex leaks.  The worst one was introduced by the
interrutible state_mutex conversion but there've been a few before
too.  Notably spufs_wait now returns without the state_mutex held
when returning an error, which actually cleans up some code.

Jeremy Kerr 60cf54db47 [POWERPC] spufs: Fix SPE single-step mode
Currently we only catch debug events through the 0x3fff status;

This change adds a handler for conditions where the SPE is stopped due

Christoph Hellwig c9101bdb1b [POWERPC] spufs: make state_mutex interruptible
Make most places that use spu_acquire/spu_acquire_saved interruptible,
this allows getting out of the spufs code when e.g. pressing ctrl+c.
There are a few places where we get called e.g. from spufs teardown
routines were we can't simply err out so these are left with a comment.
For now I've also not touched the poll routines because it's open what
libspe would expect in terms of interrupted system calls.

Luke Browning e65c2f6fce [POWERPC] spufs: decouple spu scheduler from spufs_spu_run (asynchronous scheduling)
Change spufs_spu_run so that the context is queued directly to the
scheduler and the controlling thread advances directly to spufs_wait()
for spe errors and exceptions.

nosched contexts are treated the same as before.

Jeremy Kerr d6ad39bc53 [POWERPC] spufs: rework class 0 and 1 interrupt handling
Based on original patches from
 Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergman@de.ibm.com>; and
 Luke Browning <lukebr@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently, spu contexts need to be loaded to the SPU in order to take
class 0 and class 1 exceptions.

This change makes the actual interrupt-handlers much simpler (ie,
set the exception information in the context save area), and defers the
handling code to the spufs_handle_class[01] functions, called from
spufs_run_spu.

This should improve the concurrency of the spu scheduling leading to
greater SPU utilization when SPUs are overcommited.

Masato Noguchi c25620d766 [POWERPC] cell: wrap master run control bit
Add platform specific SPU run control routines to the spufs.  The current
spufs implementation uses the SPU master run control bit (MFC_SR1[S]) to
control SPE execution, but the PS3 hypervisor does not support the use of
this feature.

This change adds the run control wrapper routies spu_enable_spu() and
spu_disable_spu().  The bare metal routines use the master run control
bit, and the PS3 specific routines use the priv2 run control register.

An outstanding enhancement for the PS3 would be to add a guard to check
for incorrect access to the spu problem state when the spu context is
disabled.  This check could be implemented with a flag added to the spu
context that would inhibit mapping problem state pages, and a routine
to unmap spu problem state pages.  When the spu is enabled with
ps3_enable_spu() the flag would be set allowing pages to be mapped,
and when the spu is disabled with ps3_disable_spu() the flag would be
cleared and mapped problem state pages would be unmapped.

This fixes a major bug which was happening when a SPU thread advances
its execution right after being restored to a SPU.  A potentially
outdated NPC value was being (re)written to the SPU.

So, spu_run_init, in this case, was either not doing anything relevant,
or breaking the execution of the SPU thread.

Currently we calculate the first timeslice for every context

Arnd Bergmann 57dace2391 [POWERPC] spufs: make spu page faults not block scheduling
Until now, we have always entered the spu page fault handler
with a mutex for the spu context held. This has multiple
bad side-effects:
- it becomes impossible to suspend the context during
  page faults
- if an spu program attempts to access its own mmio
  areas through DMA, we get an immediate livelock when
  the nopage function tries to acquire the same mutex

This patch makes the page fault logic operate on a
struct spu_context instead of a struct spu, and moves it
from spu_base.c to a new file fault.c inside of spufs.

We now also need to copy the dar and dsisr contents
of the last fault into the saved context to have it
accessible in case we schedule out the context before
activating the page fault handler.

Christoph Hellwig 7ec18ab923 [POWERPC] spufs: streamline locking for isolated spu setup
For quite a while now spu state is protected by a simple mutex instead
of the old rw_semaphore, and this means we can simplify the locking
around spu_setup_isolated a lot.

Instead of doing an spu_release before entering spu_setup_isolated and
then calling the complicated spu_acquire_exclusive we can now simply
enter the function locked an in guaranteed runnable state, so that the
only bit of spu_acquire_exclusive that's left is the call to
spu_unmap_mappings.

Similarly there's no more need to unlock and reacquire the state_mutex
when spu_setup_isolated is done, but we can always return with the
lock held and only drop it in spu_run_init in the failure case.

Christoph Hellwig 2eb1b12049 [POWERPC] spu sched: static timeslicing for SCHED_RR contexts
For SCHED_RR tasks we can do some really trivial timeslicing.  Basically
we fire up a time for every scheduler tick that searches for a higher
or same priority thread that is on the runqueue and if there is one
context switches to it.  Because we can't lock spus from timer context
we actually run this from a delayed runqueue instead of a timer.

A nice optimization would be to skip the actual priority bitmap search
when there are less contexts than physical spus available.  To implement
this I need a so far unpublished patch from Andre, and it will be added
after we have that patch in.

Note that right now we only do the time slicing for SCHED_RR tasks.
The code would work for SCHED_OTHER tasks aswell, but their prio
value is defered from the one the PPU thread has at time of spu_run,
and using this for spu scheduling decisions would make the code very
unfair.  SCHED_OTHER support will be enabled once we the spu scheduler
knows how to calculcate cpu_context.prio (very soon)

patch starts the isolated-mode loader in spu_run, rather than

Also (in conjunction with a mambo patch), this addresses #28565, as we
always set the runcntrl register when entering spu_run.

It is up to libspe to ensure that isolated-mode apps are cleaned up

arnd@arndb.de 0afacde3df [POWERPC] spufs: allow isolated mode apps by starting the SPE loader
This patch adds general support for isolated mode SPE apps.

Isolated apps are started indirectly, by a dedicated loader "kernel".
This patch starts the loader when spe_create is invoked with the
ISOLATE flag. We do this at spe_create time to allow libspe to pass the
isolated app in before calling spe_run.

The loader is read from the device tree, at the location
"/spu-isolation/loader". If the loader is not present, an attempt to
start an isolated SPE binary will fail with -ENODEV.

Update: loader needs to be correctly aligned - copy to a kmalloced buf.
Update: remove workaround for systemsim/spurom 'L-bit' bug, which has
        been fixed.
Update: don't write to runcntl on spu_run_init: SPU is already running.
Update: do spu_setup_isolated earlier

Arnd Bergmann 2dd14934c9 [PATCH] spufs: allow SPU code to do syscalls
An SPU does not have a way to implement system calls
itself, but it can create intercepts to the kernel.

This patch uses the method defined by the JSRE interface
for C99 host library calls from an SPU to implement
Linux system calls. It uses the reserved SPU stop code
0x2104 for this, using the structure layout and syscall
numbers for ppc64-linux.

I'm still undecided wether it is better to have a list
of allowed syscalls or a list of forbidden syscalls,
since we can't allow an SPU to call all syscalls that
are defined for ppc64-linux.

This patch implements the easier choice of them, with a
blacklist that only prevents an SPU from calling anything
that interacts with its own execution, e.g fork, execve,
clone, vfork, exit, spu_run and spu_create and everything
that deals with signals.

Arnd Bergmann ce8ab85412 [PATCH] spufs: move spu_run call to its own file
The logic for sys_spu_run keeps growing and it does
not really belong into file.c any more since we
moved away from using regular file operations to our
own syscall.

No functional change in here.
