454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

379507181a [POWERPC] spufs: one more fix for 64k pages
The SPU context save/restore code is currently built
for a 4k page size and we provide a _shipped version
of it since most people don't have the spu toolchain
that is needed to rebuild that code.

This patch hardcodes the data structures to a 64k
page alignment, which also guarantees 4k alignment
but unfortunately wastes 60k of memory per SPU
context that is created in the running system.

We will follow up on this with another patch to
reduce that overhead or maybe redo the context
save/restore logic to do this part entirely different,
but for now it should make experimental systems
work with either page size.

ba723fe2b2 [POWERPC] spufs: clear class2 interrupt status before wakeup
SPU interrupt status must be cleared before handle it.
Otherwise, kernel may drop some interrupt packet.

Currently, class2 interrupt treated like:
 1) call callback to wake up waiting process
 2) mask raised mailbox interrupt
 3) clear interrupt status

I changed like:
 1) mask raised mailbox interrupt
 2) clear interrupt status
 3) call callback to wake up waiting process

Clearing status before masking will make spurious interrupt.
Thus, it is necessary to hold by steps I described above, I think.

7b1a701480 [POWERPC] spufs: add a phys-id attribute to each SPU context
For performance analysis, it is often interesting to know
which physical SPE a thread is currently running on, and,
more importantly, if it is running at all.

This patch adds a simple attribute to each SPU directory
with that information.
The attribute is read-only and called 'phys-id'. It contains
an ascii string with the number of the physical SPU (e.g.
"0x5"), or alternatively the string "0xffffffff" (32 bit -1)
when it is not running at all at the time that the file
is read.

It doesn't yet handle some of the RAS interrupts (the ones described in

are essentially a cascaded controller by themselves (sic !) though I may
just handle them locally to the iic driver. I need also to sync with
David Erb on the way he hooked in the performance monitor interrupt.

So that's all for 2.6.17 and I'll do more work on that with my rework of

79c227a92c [PATCH] spufs: Fix endless protection fault on LS writes by SPE.
If an SPE attempts a DMA put to a local store after already doing
a get, the kernel must update the HW PTE to allow the write access.
This case was not being handled correctly.

47952d5ea6 [PATCH] powerpc: use guarded ioremap for cell on-chip mappings
I'm not sure where the information came from, but I assumed
that doing cache-inhibited mappings for mmio regions was
sufficient.

It seems we also need the guarded bit set, like everyone
else, which is the default for ioremap.

2fa68747da [PATCH] powerpc: fix spider-pic affinity setting
As noticed by Milton Miller, setting the initial affinity in
spider-pic can go wrong if the target node field was not orinally
empty.

ca3e91cb0c [PATCH] spufs: initialize context correctly
the mfc member of a new context was not initialized to zero,
which potentially leads to wild memory accesses.

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,

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.

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.
