2008-11-19powerpc/mpic: Use new smp_request_message_ipiMilton Miller
MPIC has 4 ipis, so it can use the new smp_request_message_ipi to reduce pathlength when receiving an ipi. This has the side effect of using the common ipi names, and also continuing to try request the remaining messages when one fails.

2008-11-19powerpc: Provide a separate handler for each IPI actionMilton Miller
With the new generic smp call function helpers, I noticed the code in smp_message_recv was a single function call in many cases. While getting the message number from the ipi data is easy, we can reduce the path length by a function and data-dependent switch by registering seperate IPI actions for these simple calls. Originally I left the ipi action array exposed, but then I realized the registration code should be common too. The three users each had their own name array, so I made a fourth to convert all users to use a common one.

2008-11-19powerpc: Correct page-in counter for CMM with 64k pagesRobert Jennings
Linux will report the number of page-ins so that the hypervisor can better determine partition memory pressure. The hardware page size and the OS page size can be different. In the case where the hardware page size is 4k and the OS is running with 64k pages the code in commit 409001948d9f221c94a61c3ee96de112755fc04d ("powerpc: Update page-in counter for CMM") would under-report the number of pages. This corrects the reporting to the hypervisor by incrementing the page_in count by 1 << PAGE_FACTOR each time.

2008-11-19of: Add helpers for finding device nodes which have a given propertyMichael Ellerman
This commit adds a routine for finding a device node which has a certain property. The contents of the property are not taken into account, merely the presence or absence of the property. Based on that routine, we add a for_each_ macro for iterating over all nodes that have a certain property.

2008-11-19powerpc: Optimise smp_rmbNick Piggin
After commit 598056d5af8fef1dbe8f96f5c2b641a528184e5a ("[POWERPC] Fix rmb to order cacheable vs. noncacheable"), rmb() becomes a sync instruction, which is needed to order cacheable vs noncacheable loads. However smp_rmb() is #defined to rmb(), and smp_rmb() can be an lwsync. This restores smp_rmb() performance by using lwsync there and updates the comments.

2008-11-19powerpc: Update 64bit __copy_tofrom_user() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STDMark Nelson
In exactly the same way that we updated memcpy() with new feature sections in commit 25d6e2d7c58ddc4a3b614fc5381591c0cfe66556 ("powerpc: Update 64bit memcpy() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD"), we do the same thing here for __copy_tofrom_user(). Once again this is purely a performance tweak for Cell and Power6 - this has no effect on all the other 64bit powerpc chips. We can make these same changes to __copy_tofrom_user() because the basic copy algorithm is the same as in memcpy() - this version just has all the exception handling logic needed when copying to or from userspace as well as a special case for copying whole 4K pages that are page aligned. CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU was added in commit 4ec577a28980a0790df3c3dfe9c81f6e2222acfb ("powerpc: Add new CPU feature: CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD"). We also make the same simple one line change from cmpldi r1,... to cmpldi cr1,... for consistency. Signed-off-by: Mark Nelson <markn@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-11-19powerpc: Remove superfluous WARN_ON() from dma-noncoherent.cHollis Blanchard
I can't tell why this WARN_ON exists, and there's no comment explaining it. Whether the pmd is present or not, pte_alloc_kernel() seems to handle both cases. Booting a 440 kernel with 64K PAGE_SIZE triggers the warning, but boot successfully completes and I see no problems beyond that.

2008-11-19powerpc: Tell gcc when we clobber the carry in inline asmPaul Mackerras
We have several instances of inline assembly code that use the addic or addic. instructions, but don't include XER in the list of clobbers. The addic and addic. instructions affect the carry bit, which is in the XER register. This adds "xer" to the list of clobbers for those inline asm statements that use addic or addic. and didn't already have it. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-11-19powerpc: udbg-based backend for hvc_consoleDavid Gibson
This adds a new backend for the hvc console based on the low-level udbg callbacks. This effectively implements a working runtime console in terms of the simple udbg primitives. This is kind of a hack - since udbg isn't something you really want to be using routinely - but it's really useful during bringup. This can be used to quickly implement a userspace-usable console while you're working on a proper driver for whatever console I/O device the hardware has. Or, it can be used to avoid writing a full blown tty/console driver entirely for quick-and-dirty I/O hardware that will later be replaced by something else.

2008-11-11V4L/DVB (9492): unplug oops from dvb_frontend_init...Daniel J Blueman
When inadvertently hot-unplugging a WT-220U USB DVB-T receiver with 2.6.24, I was met with an oops [1]. The problem is relevant to 2.6.25/26-rc also. dvb_frontend_init() was called either from re-creation of the kdvb-fe0 thread - seems unlikely, or someone called dvb_frontend_reinitialise(), causing this path in the thread - really unlikely, as I can't find any call-site for it. Either way, quite a number of drivers call dvb_usb_generic_rw() [2] without checking the validity of the relevant member in the dvb_usb_device struct - which had changed. Having dvb_usb_generic_rw() sanity-check and fail (rather than loading from 0x120) seems reasonable defensive programming [3], in light of it being called in this way. The problem with this, is that drivers don't check the return code of the init call [4]. Does it make sense to cook a patch which allows the failure to be propagated back up, or am I missing something else?

2008-11-11V4L/DVB (9485): ivtv: remove incorrect V4L1 & tvaudio dependencyHans Verkuil
ivtv used tvaudio in the past and at the time tvaudio required V4L1. Since tvaudio is no longer dependent on V4L1 and since ivtv actually no longer uses tvaudio at all, this is no removed from Kconfig. Without this patch ivtv won't be build if V4L1 is disabled.
