[PATCH] spufs: The SPU file system, base This is the current version of the spu file system, used for driving SPEs on the Cell Broadband Engine. This release is almost identical to the version for the 2.6.14 kernel posted earlier, which is available as part of the Cell BE Linux distribution from http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/. The first patch provides all the interfaces for running spu application, but does not have any support for debugging SPU tasks or for scheduling. Both these functionalities are added in the subsequent patches. See Documentation/filesystems/spufs.txt on how to use spufs.

[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, Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
