Currently, page fault handlers don't issue a mfc restart if the context
switch pending flag is set, which can leave us with a hanging DMA after
a context restore.
This patch introduces fault pending flag that is set by the fault
handler and read by the context switch code, so that the latter can add
the restart bit at the right spot, after it has successfuly saved the
state of the mfc control register.

Currently, we re-route SPU interrupts to the current cpu, which may be
on a remote node. In the case of time slicing, all spu interrupts will
end up routed to the same cpu, where the spusched_tick occurs.
This change routes mfc interrupts to the cpu where the controlling
thread last ran, provided that cpu is on the same node as the spu
(otherwise don't reroute interrupts).
This should improve performance and provide a more predictable
environment for processing spu exceptions. In the past we have seen
concurrent delivery of spu exceptions to two cpus. This eliminates that
concern.

synchronize_irq() provides the serialization for
SPU_CONTEXT_SWITCH_PENDING which is read with a simple load. This
routine guarantees that the relevant interrupt handlers are not running,
so that the next time they do run they will see the update
memory value.
This must be done correctly so that exception handling code does not
restart the mfc in the middle of a context switch while we are trying
to atomically stop it and save state.

We currently have two issues with the MFC save code:
* save_mfc_decr doesn't handle a transition of 1 -> 0 of the Ds bit
* The Q bit may be stale in the CSA
This change fixes the first issue by clearing the relevant bits from
the MFC_CNTL value in the CSA before or-ing in the updated status.
Also, we add the Q bit to the updated status.

Currently, we can introduce invalid entries into the MFC queues:
1) context starts a DMA
2) context gets scheduled out during a DMA
- kernel saves MFC queue to CSA
- kernel saves 0x0 in csa->mfc_control_RW
3) context gets scheduled in
- csa->mfc_control[Q] ('queues empty') isn't set, so DMA queues are
restored from the CSA
4) context's DMA is completed
5) context gets scheduled out again, no DMA occuring this time
- kernel sees that MFC_CNTL[Q] ('queues empty') is set, so doesn't
touch saved queue data in CSA
- kernel saves 0x0 in csa->mfc_control_RW
6) context gets scheduled in
- csa->mfc_control[Q] ('queues empty') isn't set (we saved is as 0!),
so DMA queues are restored from the CSA
In this last restore, we've restored the queue status from step 2,
which are now invalid.
This change makes save_mfc_cntl() closer to the save/restore sequence,
as specified in the CBE handbook.
With changes from Luke Browning.

During the context save process, we currently save the MFC command

There is a small race between the context save procedure
and the SPU interrupt handling, where we expect all interrupt
processing to have finished after disabling them, while
an interrupt is still being processed on another CPU.
The obvious fix is to call synchronize_irq() after disabling
the interrupts at the start of the context save procedure
to make sure we never access the SPU any more during an
ongoing save or even after that.
Thanks to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for pointing this out.

At present, the __spufs_trap_data_map and __spu_trap_data_seq functions
exit if spu->flags has the SPU_CONTEXT_SWITCH_ACTIVE set. This was
resulting in suprious returns from these functions, as they may be
legitimately called when we have this bit set.
We only use it in these two sanity checks, so this change removes the
flag completely. This fixes hangs in the page-fault path of SPE apps.

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.

Currently, part of the spufs code (switch.o, lscsa_alloc.o and fault.o)
is compiled directly into the kernel.
This change moves these components of spufs into the kernel.
The lscsa and switch objects are fairly straightforward to move in.
For the fault.o module, we split the fault-handling code into two
parts: a/p/p/c/spu_fault.c and a/p/p/c/spufs/fault.c. The former is for
the in-kernel spu_handle_mm_fault function, and we move the rest of the
fault-handling code into spufs.

Currently, we have a possibilty that the SLBs setup during context
switch don't cover the entirety of the necessary lscsa and code
regions, if these regions cross a segment boundary.
This change checks the start and end of each region, and inserts a SLB
entry for each, if unique. We also remove the assumption that the
spu_save_code and spu_restore_code reside in the same segment, by using
the specific code array for save and restore.

Currently, the SPU context switch code (spufs/switch.c) sets up the
SPU's SLBs directly, which requires some low-level mm stuff.
This change moves the kernel SLB setup to spu_base.c, by exposing
a function spu_setup_kernel_slbs() to do this setup. This allows us
to remove the low-level mm code from switch.c, making it possible
to later move switch.c to the spufs module.
Also, add a struct spu_slb for the cases where we need to deal with
SLB entries.

This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).
We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.
We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments. That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.

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.

The SPU code doesn't properly invalidate SPUs SLBs when necessary,
for example when changing a segment size from the hugetlbfs code. In
addition, it saves and restores the SLB content on context switches
which makes it harder to properly handle those invalidations.
This patch removes the saving & restoring for now, something more
efficient might be found later on. It also adds a spu_flush_all_slbs(mm)
that can be used by the core mm code to flush the SLBs of all SPEs that
are running a given mm at the time of the flush.
In order to do that, it adds a spinlock to the list of all SPEs and move
some bits & pieces from spufs to spu_base.c

SPRN_SDR1 and the SPE's MFC SDR are hypervisor resources and
are not accessible from a logical partition. This change adds an
access wrapper.
When running on bare H/W, the spufs needs to only set the SPE's MFC SDR
to the value of the PPE's SPRN_SDR1 once at SPE initialization, so this
change renames mfc_sdr_set() to mfc_sdr_setup() and moves the
access of SPRN_SDR1 into the mmio wrapper. It also removes the now
unneeded member mfc_sdr_RW from struct spu_priv1_collapsed.

For better explanation, I break down the page fault handling into steps:
1) There is a page fault caused by DMA operation initiated by SPU and
DMA is suspended.
2) The interrupt handler 'spu_irq_class_1()/__spu_trap_data_map()' is
called and it just wakes up the sleeping spe-manager thread.
3) by PPE scheduler, the corresponding bottom half,
spu_irq_class_1_bottom() is called in process context and DMA is
restarted.
There can be a quite large time gap between 2) and 3) and I found
the following problem:
Between 2) and 3) If the context becomes unbound, 3) is not executed
because when the spe-manager thread is awaken, the context is already
saved. (This situation can happen, for example, when a high priority spe
thread newly started in that time gap)
But the actual problem is that the corresponding SPU context does not
work even if it is bound again to a SPU.
Besides I can see the following warning in mambo simulator when the
context becomes
unbound(in save_mfc_cmd()), i.e. when unbind() is called for the
context after step 2) before 3) :
'WARNING: 61392752237: SPE2: MFC_CMD_QUEUE channel count of 15 is
inconsistent with number of available DMA queue entries of 16'
After I go through available documents, I found that the problem is
because the suspended DMA is not restarted when it is bound again.

In the context save/restore code, the SPU MFC command queue purge
code has a bug:
static inline void wait_purge_complete(struct spu_state *csa, struct
spu *spu)
{
struct spu_priv2 __iomem *priv2 = spu->priv2;
/* Save, Step 28:
* Poll MFC_CNTL[Ps] until value '11' is
* read
* (purge complete).
*/
POLL_WHILE_FALSE(in_be64(&priv2->mfc_control_RW)
& MFC_CNTL_PURGE_DMA_COMPLETE);
}
This will exit as soon as _one_ of the 2 bits that compose
MFC_CNTL_PURGE_DMA_COMPLETE is set, and one of them happens to be
"purge in progress"... which means that we'll happily continue
restoring the MFC while it's being purged at the same time.

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.

In a hypervisor based setup, direct access to the first
priviledged register space can typically not be allowed
to the kernel and has to be implemented through hypervisor
calls.
As suggested by Masato Noguchi, let's abstract the register
access trough a number of function calls. Since there is
currently no public specification of actual hypervisor
calls to implement this, I only provide a place that
makes it easier to hook into.

Handling mailbox interrupts was broken in multiple respects,
the combination of which was hiding the bugs most of the time.
- The ibox interrupt mask was open initially even though there
are no waiters on a newly created SPU.
- Acknowledging the mailbox interrupt did not work because
it is level triggered and the mailbox data is never retrieved
from inside the interrupt handler.
- The interrupt handler delivered interrupts with a disabled
mask if another interrupt is triggered for the same class
but a different mask.
- The poll function did not enable the interrupt if it had not
been enabled, so we might run into the poll timeout if none of
the other bugs saved us and no signal was delivered.
We probably still have a similar problem with blocking
read/write on mailbox files, but that will result in extra
wakeup in the worst case, not in incorrect behaviour.
