Jag Raman says: ==================== sparc64: Add MDESC & VIO support for VCC This series of patches is part of an effort to add VCC (Virtual Console Concentrator) support to Linux. VCC enables the virtualization of serial console on SPARC processors. VCC provides access to the guest domain's serial console. VCC depends on some core functionalities in the linux kernel for SPARC. The functionalities include LDC (Logical Domain Channels), MDESC (Machine Descriptor) and VIO (Virtual IO protocol). In order for VCC to be enabled, it requires that these core functionalities support them. This series of patches adds MDESC & VIO support to enable VCC on Linux. It is the second batch of changes to enable VCC. This version of the series addresses the following changes suggested by Dave Miller Patch 4/5: - "name" field in vdev_port md_node_info is declared as "const char *" - Code has been modified to dynamically allocate & free "name" in vdev_port md_node_info - Parameters to mdesc_get_node(), mdesc_get_node_info() & mdesc_get_node_ops() have been updated to use "const char *" Patch 6/5: - "node_name" parameter in vio_create_one() has been changed to "const char *" type from "char *" - Typecasts in vio_create_one() invocations to convert "const char *" to "char *" have been removed Patch 11/5: - Invocations of mdesc_node_get() & mdesc_get_node_info() have been updated to use the prototypes defined in patch 4/5 ==================== Signed-off-by:David S.

Enhances search for VIO device in MDESC by leveraging already existing MDESC APIs. Enhances changes in earlier patch, "sparc: Machine description indices can vary", by using existing MD search functions. It also specifies a match function, thereby enabling device_find_child() to use it for the purpose of matching device nodes in MDESC. An API to find VDEV node in MDESC based on its md_node_info is also added. It is planned to be used by VIO device clients in the future. Signed-off-by:

Pavel Tatashin says: ==================== sparc64: Early boot timestamp Changelog: v2 - v3: - __aligned(64) -> __cacheline_aligned - Replaced in sched_clock() wmb() with barrier() v1 - v2: - Early boot timestamps are now available on all 64-bit sparc processors - New hot-patched get_tick() function. This patch set: - enables early boot timestamps on SPARC, - adds offset so we count time from zero, the same as it is done on other platforms - improves the performance by inling, hot patching, and combining loads into the same cacheline. (and few other optimizations). So, the final performance of sched_clock() is faster than now: the fewer number of loads, and all of them are coming from the same cacheline. Loads can run while we are reading tick value, and we do not do function call.

In Linux it is possible to configure printk() to output timestamp next to every line. This is very useful to determine the slow parts of the boot process, and also to avoid regressions, as boot time is visiable to everyone. Also, there are scripts that change these time stamps to intervals. However, on larger machines these timestamps start appearing many seconds, and even minutes into the boot process. This patch gets stick-frequency property early from OpenBoot, and uses its value to initialize time stamps before the first printk() messages are printed. Signed-off-by:

In clock sched we now have three loads: - Function pointer - quotient for multiplication - offset However, it is possible to improve performance substantially, by guaranteeing that all three loads are from the same cacheline. By moving these three values first in sparc64_tick_ops, and by having tick_operations 64-byte aligned we guarantee this. Signed-off-by:

On most platforms, time is shown from the beginning of boot. This patch is adding offset to sched_clock() for SPARC, to also show time from 0. This means we will have one more load, but we saved one in an ealier patch. Signed-off-by:

Orabug: 20902628 When an ldc control-only packet is received during data exchange in read_nonraw(), a new rx head is calculated but the rx queue head is not actually advanced (rx_set_head() is not called) and a branch is taken to 'no_data' at which point two things can happen depending on the value of the newly calculated rx head and the current rx tail: - If the rx queue is determined to be not empty, then the wrong packet is picked up. - If the rx queue is determined to be empty, then a read error (EAGAIN) is eventually returned since it is falsely assumed that more data was expected. The fix is to update the rx head and return in case of a control only packet during data exchange. Signed-off-by:
