Christoph Hellwig ae142e0c52 powerpc/sputrace: Use the generic event tracer
I wrote sputrace before generic tracing infrastrucure was available.
Now that we have the generic event tracer we can convert it over and
remove a lot of code:

To use it make sure CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled and then enable
the spufs trace channel by

  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/spufs/spufs_context/enable

and then read the trace records using e.g.

  cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

There are userspace instrumentation tools that need to monitor spu

Jeremy Kerr c368392a99 [POWERPC] spufs: fix rescheduling of non-runnable contexts
At present, we can hit the BUG_ON in __spu_update_sched_info by reading
the regs file of a context between two calls to spu_run. The
spu_release_saved called by spufs_regs_read() is resulting in the (now
non-runnable) context being placed back on the run queue, so the next
call to spu_run ends up in the bug condition.

This change uses the SPU_SCHED_SPU_RUN flag to only reschedule a context
if it's still in spu_run().

Jeremy Kerr 0111a70186 [POWERPC] spufs: fix invalid scheduling of forgotten contexts
At present, we have a situation where a context with no owner is
re-scheduled by spu_forget:

	Thread 1: reading regs file	Thread 2: context owner

					spu_forget()
						- ctx->owner = NULL
						- set SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE

	spu_acquire_saved()
	- context is in saved state

	spu_release_saved()
	- SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE is set,
	  so spu_activate() the context,
	  which now has no owner

In spu_forget(), we shouldn't be requesting a re-schedule by setting
SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE. This change removes the set_bit in spu_forget(),
so that spu_release_saved() doesn't reinsert this destroyed context on
to the run queue.

Christoph Hellwig 9d78592ed7 [POWERPC] spusched: Fix initial timeslice calculation
Currently we calculate the first timeslice for every context
incorrectly - alloc_spu_context calls spu_set_timeslice before we set
ctx->prio so we always calculate the longest possible timeslice for the

This patch makes sure to update the schedule-related fields before
calculating the timeslice and also makes sure we update the timeslice for
a non-running context when entering spu_run so a priority change affects
the context as soon as possible.

Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which
are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data
structures.

Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn).  Check pointer
returned from kzalloc.  Eliminated unnecessary cast.  Better error
handling and cleanup in the related area.  64-bit unsigned long parameter
was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to

Christoph Hellwig fe443ef2ac [POWERPC] spusched: Dynamic timeslicing for SCHED_OTHER
Enable preemptive scheduling for non-RT contexts.

We use the same algorithms as the CPU scheduler to calculate the time
slice length, and for now we also use the same timeslice length as the
CPU scheduler. This might be not enough for good performance and can be
changed after some benchmarking.

Note that currently we do not boost the priority for contexts waiting
on the runqueue for a long time, so contexts with a higher nice value
could starve ones with less priority.  This could easily be fixed once
the rework of the spu lists that Luke and I discussed is done.

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)

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 17e0e27020 [POWERPC] spufs: Fix bitrot of the SPU mmap facility
It looks like we've had some serious bitrot there mostly due to tracking
of address_space's of mmap'ed files getting out of sync with the actual
mmap code. The mfc, mss and psmap were not tracked properly and thus
not invalidated on context switches (oops !)

I also removed the various file->f_mapping = inode->i_mapping;
assignments that were done in the other open() routines since that
is already done for us by __dentry_open.

One improvement we might want to do later is to assign the various
ctx-> fields at mmap time instead of file open/close time so that we
don't call unmap_mapping_range() on thing that have not been mmap'ed

Finally, I added some smp_wmb's after assigning the ctx-> fields to make
sure they are visible to other CPUs. I don't think this is really
necessary as I suspect locking in the fs layer will make that happen
anyway but better safe than sorry.

communicate arbitrary data through this storage, we need to ensure that
isolated physical SPEs can be reused for subsequent applications.

Add a file ("recycle") in a spethread dir to enable isolated-mode
recycling. By writing to this file, the kernel will reload the
isolated-mode loader kernel, allowing a new app to be run on the same
physical SPE.

This requires the spu_acquire_exclusive function to enforce exclusive
access to the SPE while the loader is initialised.

Arnd Bergmann 6263203ed6 [POWERPC] spufs: Add infrastructure needed for gang scheduling
Add the concept of a gang to spufs as a new type of object.
So far, this has no impact whatsover on scheduling, but makes
it possible to add that later.

A new type of object in spufs is now a spu_gang. It is created
with the spu_create system call with the flags argument set
to SPU_CREATE_GANG (0x2). Inside of a spu_gang, it
is then possible to create spu_context objects, which until
now was only possible at the root of spufs.

There is a new member in struct spu_context pointing to
the spu_gang it belongs to, if any. The spu_gang maintains
a list of spu_context structures that are its children.
This information can then be used in the scheduler in the
future.

There is still a bug that needs to be resolved in this
basic infrastructure regarding the order in which objects
are removed. When the spu_gang file descriptor is closed
before the spu_context descriptors, we leak the dentry
and inode for the gang. Any ideas how to cleanly solve
this are appreciated.

Use kzalloc when allocating a new spu context, rather than kmalloc +
zeroing.

Booted & tested on cell.

Mark Nutter 6df10a82f8 [PATCH] spufs: enable SPE problem state MMIO access.
This patch is layered on top of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM
and is patterned after direct mapping of LS.

This patch allows mmap() of the following regions:
"mfc", which represents the area from [0x3000 - 0x3fff];
"cntl", which represents the area from [0x4000 - 0x4fff];
"signal1" which begins at offset 0x14000; "signal2" which
begins at offset 0x1c000.

The signal1 & signal2 files may be mmap()'d by regular user
processes.  The cntl and mfc file, on the other hand, may
only be accessed if the owning process has CAP_SYS_RAWIO,
because they have the potential to confuse the kernel
with regard to parallel access to the same files with
regular file operations: the kernel always holds a spinlock
when accessing registers in these areas to serialize them,
which can not be guaranteed with user mmaps,

Arnd Bergmann a33a7d7309 [PATCH] spufs: implement mfc access for PPE-side DMA
This patch adds a new file called 'mfc' to each spufs directory.
The file accepts DMA commands that are a subset of what would
be legal DMA commands for problem state register access. Upon
reading the file, a bitmask is returned with the completed
tag groups set.

The file is meant to be used from an abstraction in libspe
that is added by a different patch.

From the kernel perspective, this means a process can now
offload a memory copy from or into an SPE local store
without having to run code on the SPE itself.

The transfer will only be performed while the SPE is owned
by one thread that is waiting in the spu_run system call
and the data will be transferred into that thread's
address space, independent of which thread started the
transfer.
