2007-06-28[POWERPC] PS3: System-bus reworkGeoff Levand
Rework the PS3 system bus to unify device support. - DMA region sizes must be a power of two - storage bus DMA updates: - Small fixes for the PS3 DMA core: o fix alignment bug o kill superfluous test o indentation o spelling o export ps3_dma_region_{create,free}() - ps3_dma_region_init(): o Add `addr' and `len' parameters, so you can create a DMA region that does not cover all memory (use `NULL' and `0' to cover all memory). This is needed because there are not sufficient IOMMU resources to have all DMA regions cover all memory. o Uninline - Added remove and shutdown routines to all drivers. - Added loadable module support to all drivers. - Added HV calls for iopte management (needed by sound driver).

2007-06-25[POWERPC] Fix Kexec/Kdump for power6Sachin P. Sant
On Power machines supporting VRMA, Kexec/Kdump does not work. VRMA (virtual real-mode area) means that accesses with IR/DR = 0 (i.e. the MMU "off") actually still go through the hash table, using entries put there by the hypervisor. This means that when we clear out the hash table on kexec, we need to make sure these entries are left untouched. This also adds plpar_pte_read_raw() on the lines of plpar_pte_remove_raw().

2007-06-25[POWERPC] Fix interrupt distribution in ppc970Mohan Kumar M
In some of the PPC970 based systems, interrupt would be distributed to offline cpus also even when booted with "maxcpus=1". So check whether cpu online map and cpu present map are equal or not. If they are equal default_distrib_server is used as interrupt server otherwise boot cpu (default_server) used as interrupt server. In addition to this, if an interrupt is assigned to a specific cpu (ie smp affinity) and if that cpu is not online, the earlier code used to return the default_distrib_server as interrupt server. This introduces an additional parameter to the get_irq function, called strict_check. Based on this parameter, if the cpu is not online either default_distrib_server or -1 is returned.

2007-06-25[POWERPC] When appropriate, wrap device tree with zImageMark A. Greer
There are 2 config options that indicate whether the platform being built has a device tree source file associated with it. Namely, CONFIG_WANT_DEVICE_TREE and CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE. When CONFIG_WANT_DEVICE_TREE is 'y' and CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE isn't an empty string, automatically wrap the specified device tree with the zImage being built. To achieve this, the 'dts' variable will only be set when the conditions above are true. The changes to the zImage.initrd.% and zImage.% rules cause the device tree to be wrapped when 'dts' is set; otherwise, they will work as they previosly did (i.e., build a zImage with no device tree).

2007-06-25[POWERPC] Remove spinlock from struct cpu_purr_dataNathan Lynch
cpu_purr_data is a per-cpu array used to account for stolen time on partitioned systems. It used to be the case that cpus accessed each others' cpu_purr_data, so each entry was protected by a spinlock. However, the code was reworked ("Simplify stolen time calculation") with the result that each cpu accesses its own cpu_purr_data and not those of other cpus. This means we can get rid of the spinlock as long as we're careful to disable interrupts when accessing cpu_purr_data in process context.

2007-06-25[POWERPC] Don't link timer.o for powerpc systems using generic rtcGuennadi Liakhovetski
With both generic rtc and powerpc timer suspend / resume code now in the (powerpc.git) tree, powerpc platforms using the generic timer and enabling power management will have timer.o linked in the kernel, which they don't need. Moreover, it will likely WARN_ON(!ppc_md.get_rtc_time), save zero-time and return no error on suspend... As a possible solution we can choose not to build timer.o when RTC_CLASS is enabled. However, I can imagine systems with 2 rtc's, one served by the ppc-rtc, another one generic built as a module, in which case using the ppc-rtc for suspend / resume will be impossible. Not to say, that such a configuration would be ugly... Signed-off-by: G. Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-25[POWERPC] pasemi: Electra IDE/pata_platform glueOlof Johansson
Glue code to hook up the pata_platform on the PA Semi Electra eval board. CFE sets up device tree entries for the IDE interface, with device type 'ide' and compatible field 'electra-ide'. We unfortunately need to modify the resources before calling the generic platform driver, since the device tree only has one register window in it and the driver expects two. Adding this as an of_platform driver instead doesn't give us any benefit, it just adds one more layer of register/probe functions. Since CONFIG_PATA_PLATFORM depends on CONFIG_EMBEDDED, add that as a default for PPC_PASEMI. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-25[POWERPC] Use mktime in timer sysdevJohannes Berg

2007-06-25[POWERPC] kexec: Send slaves to new kernel earlierMilton Miller
With this, when kexec-ing, we copy the code and start the slaves on their journey to the next kernel's spin loop as soon as we copy the kexec image into place. The kernel doesn't know exactly which slaves are spinning in kexec_wait. This allows us to pass more than max-cpus to the next kernel. But it also means that we might leave some behind. Moving the code here means they have the time it takes us to clear the hash table to wake up and move on. Moving the code any earlier would reuqire walking the image description to search for the code, which could span multiple pages.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Fix problems with device tree representation of TSI-1xx bridgesDavid Gibson
This fixes some problems with the way the some things represented in the device tree for the Holly and Taiga boards. This means changes both to the dts files, and to the code which instantiates the tsi108 ethernet platform devices based on the device tree. - First, and most importantly, the ethernet PHYs are given with an identical 'reg' property. This reg currently encodes the accessible register used to initiate mdio interaction with the PHYs, rather than a meaningful address on the parent bus (mdio in this case), which is incorrect. Instead we give the address of these registers as 'reg' in the mdio node itself, and encode the ID of each phy in their 'reg' propertyies. - Currently the platform device constructor enables a workaround in the tsi108 ethernet driver based on the compatible property of the PHY. This is incorrect, because the workaround in question is necessary due to the board's wiring of the PHY, not the model of PHY itself. This patch alters the constructor to instead enable the workaround based on a new special property in the PHY node. - The compatible properties on a number of nodes in the device tree are insufficiently precise. In particular the PHYs give only "bcm54xx", which is broken, since there are many bcm54xx PHY models, and they have differences which matter. The mdio had a compatible property of "tsi-ethernet" identical to the ethernet MAC nodes, which doesn't make sense. The ethernet, i2c, bridge and PCI nodes were given only as "tsi-*" which is somewhat inprecise, we replace with "tsi108-*" in the case of Taiga (which has a TSI108 bridge), and "tsi109-*", "tsi108-*" in the case of Holly (which has a TSI109 bridge). - We remove some "model" properties from the ethernets on Taiga board which were neither useful nor adequately precise. - On Holly we change to using a dtc label instead of a full path to reference the MPIC node, which makes the dts a little more readable.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Don't store a command line in the Holly device treeDavid Gibson
Currently, the Holly device tree includes a bootargs property in /chosen, which gives a commandline. This is somewhat inconvenient, because it means an alternative default command line can't be given in the kernel config - the value obtained from the dts via the bootwrapper will always override CONFIG_CMDLINE. This removes the command line from the dts, and instead puts the same command line as a default in holly_defconfig.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Consolidate cuboot initialization codeDavid Gibson
The various cuboot platforms (i.e. pre-device tree aware u-boot for 83xx, 85xx and Ebony) share a certain amount of code for parsing the boot parameters. To a certain extent that's inevitable, since they platforms have different definitions of the bd_t structure. However, with some macro work and a helper function, this patch improves the situation a bit. In the process, this fixes a bug on Ebony, which was incorrectly handling the parameters passed form u-boot for the command line (the bug was copied from 83xx and 85xx which have subsequently been fixed).

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Derive ebc ranges property from EBC registersDavid Gibson
In the device tree for Ebony, the 'ranges' property in the node for the EBC bridge shows the mappings from the chip select / address lines actually used for the EBC peripherals into the address space of the OPB. At present, these mappings are hardcoded in ebony.dts for the mappings set up by the OpenBIOS firmware when it configures the EBC bridge. This replaces the hardcoded mappings with code in the zImage to read the EBC configuration registers and create an appropriate ranges property based on them. This should make the zImage and kernel more robust to changes in firmware configuration. In particular, some of the Ebony's DIP switches can change the effective address of the Flash and other peripherals in OPB space. With this patch, the kernel will be able to cope with at least some of the possible variations.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Merge CPU features pertaining to icache coherencyDavid Gibson
Currently the powerpc kernel has a 64-bit only feature, COHERENT_ICACHE used for those CPUS which maintain icache/dcache coherency in hardware (POWER5, essentially). It also has a feature, SPLIT_ID_CACHE, which is used on CPUs which have separate i and d-caches, which is to say everything except 601 and Freescale E200. In nearly all the places we check the SPLIT_ID_CACHE, what we actually care about is whether the i and d-caches are coherent (which they will be, trivially, if they're the same cache). This tries to clarify the situation a little. The COHERENT_ICACHE feature becomes availble on 32-bit and is set for all CPUs where i and d-cache are effectively coherent, whether this is due to special logic (POWER5) or because they're unified. We check this, instead of SPLIT_ID_CACHE nearly everywhere. The SPLIT_ID_CACHE feature itself is replaced by a UNIFIED_ID_CACHE feature with reversed sense, set only on 601 and Freescale E200. In the two places (one Freescale BookE specific) where we really care whether it's a unified cache, not whether they're coherent, we check this feature. The CPUs with unified cache are so few, we could consider replacing this feature bit with explicit checks against the PVR. This will make unifying the 32-bit and 64-bit cache flush code a little more straightforward. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Kill typedef-ed structs for hash PTEs and BATsDavid Gibson
Using typedefs to rename structure types if frowned on by CodingStyle. However, we do so for the hash PTE structure on both ppc32 (where it's called "PTE") and ppc64 (where it's called "hpte_t"). On ppc32 we also have such a typedef for the BATs ("BAT"). This removes this unhelpful use of typedefs, in the process bringing ppc32 and ppc64 closer together, by using the name "struct hash_pte" in both cases.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Split low-level OF-related bootloader code into separate filesDavid Gibson
Currently, all OF-related code in the bootloader is contained in of.c. of.c also provides the platform specific things necessary to boot on an OF platform. However, there are platforms (such as PReP) which can include an OF implementation, but are not bootable as pure OF systems. For use by such platforms, this patch splits out the low-level parts of the OF code (call_prom() and various wrappers thereof) into a new oflib.c file. In addition, the code related to bootwrapper console output via OF are moved to a new ofconsole.c file.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Donate idle CPU cycles on dedicated partitionsJake Moilanen
A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it (via the HMC). This enables that to work properly on P6. This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the VPA. To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and have the donate bit set in the VPA. Then call H_CEDE. The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to increase the capacity of the shared CPU pool.

set_dabr() and thread.dabr exist on 32 bits as well nowadays (they actually may do something even, depending on what CPU you have). So this removes the ifdef. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Merge creation of signal frameBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The code for creating signal frames was still duplicated and split in strange ways between 32 and 64 bits, including the SA_ONSTACK handling being in do_signal on 32 bits but inside handle_rt_signal on 64 bits etc... This moves the 64 bits get_sigframe() to the generic signal.c, cleans it a bit, moves the access_ok() call done by all callers to it as well, and adapts/cleanups the 3 different signal handling cases to use that common function.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Remove obsolete freezer bitsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The powerpc signal code still had some obsolete freezer bits that have long been removed from x86 (it's now done in generic code). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Consolidate do_signalChristoph Hellwig
do_signal has exactly the same behaviour on 32bit and 64bit and 32bit compat on 64bit for handling 32bit signals. Consolidate all these into one common function in signal.c. The only odd left over is the try_to_free in the 32bit version that no other architecture has in mainline (only in i386 for some odd SuSE release). We should probably get rid of it in a separate patch.
