2008-04-27KVM: ppc: PowerPC 440 KVM implementationHollis Blanchard
This functionality is definitely experimental, but is capable of running unmodified PowerPC 440 Linux kernels as guests on a PowerPC 440 host. (Only tested with 440EP "Bamboo" guests so far, but with appropriate userspace support other SoC/board combinations should work.) See Documentation/powerpc/kvm_440.txt for technical details.

2008-04-24[POWERPC] Port fixmap from x86 and use for kmap_atomicKumar Gala
The fixmap code from x86 allows us to have compile time virtual addresses that we change the physical addresses of at run time. This is useful for applications like kmap_atomic, PCI config that is done via direct memory map, kexec/kdump. We got ride of CONFIG_HIGHMEM_START as we can now determine a more optimal location for PKMAP_BASE based on where the fixmap addresses start and working back from there. Additionally, the kmap code in asm-powerpc/highmem.h always had debug enabled. Moved to using CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM to determine if we should have the extra debug checking.

2008-04-24[POWERPC] 85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and booting at non-zero)Kumar Gala
Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and kdump). The support can be configured at compile time by setting CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as desired. Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. Setting this config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START. If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning. However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program header physical address field in the resulting ELF image. Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a multiple of 256M. This is due to how we map TLBs to cover lowmem. This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment in the future. It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a non-aligned physical address. All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings. ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. /dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

2008-02-08[POWERPC] Add arch-specific walk_memory_remove() for 64-bit powerpcBadari Pulavarty
walk_memory_resource() verifies if there are holes in a given memory range, by checking against /proc/iomem. On x86/ia64 system memory is represented in /proc/iomem. On powerpc, we don't show system memory as IO resource in /proc/iomem - instead it's maintained in /proc/device-tree. This provides a way for an architecture to provide its own walk_memory_resource() function. On powerpc, the memory region is small (16MB), contiguous and non-overlapping. So extra checking against the device-tree is not needed.

2008-02-07[POWERPC] bootwrapper: Build multiple cuImagesGrant Likely
Currently, the kernel uses CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE to wrap a kernel image with a fdt blob which means for any given configuration only one dts file can be selected and so support for only one board can be built This moves the selection of the default .dts file out of the kernel config and into the bootwrapper makefile. The makefile chooses which images to build based on the kernel config and the dts source file name is taken directly from the image name. For example "cuImage.ebony" will use "ebony.dts" as the device tree source file. In addition, this patch allows a specific image to be requested from the command line by adding "cuImage.%" and "treeImage.%" targets to the list of valid built targets in arch/powerpc/Makefile. This allows the default dts selection to be overridden. Another advantage to this change is it allows a single defconfig to be supplied for all boards using the same chip family and only differing in the device tree. Important note: This patch adds two new zImage targets; zImage.dtb.% and zImage.dtb.initrd.% for zImages with embedded dtb files. Currently there are 5 platforms which require this: ps3, ep405, mpc885ads, ep88xc, adder875-redboot and ep8248e. This patch *changes the zImage filenames* for those platforms. ie. 'zImage.ps3' is now 'zImage.dtb.ps3'. This new zImage.dtb targets were added so that the .dts file could be part of the dependancies list for building them.

2008-01-24[POWERPC] Provide a way to protect 4k subpages when using 64k pagesPaul Mackerras
Using 64k pages on 64-bit PowerPC systems makes life difficult for emulators that are trying to emulate an ISA, such as x86, which use a smaller page size, since the emulator can no longer use the MMU and the normal system calls for controlling page protections. Of course, the emulator can emulate the MMU by checking and possibly remapping the address for each memory access in software, but that is pretty slow. This provides a facility for such programs to control the access permissions on individual 4k sub-pages of 64k pages. The idea is that the emulator supplies an array of protection masks to apply to a specified range of virtual addresses. These masks are applied at the level where hardware PTEs are inserted into the hardware page table based on the Linux PTEs, so the Linux PTEs are not affected. Note that this new mechanism does not allow any access that would otherwise be prohibited; it can only prohibit accesses that would otherwise be allowed. This new facility is only available on 64-bit PowerPC and only when the kernel is configured for 64k pages. The masks are supplied using a new subpage_prot system call, which takes a starting virtual address and length, and a pointer to an array of protection masks in memory. The array has a 32-bit word per 64k page to be protected; each 32-bit word consists of 16 2-bit fields, for which 0 allows any access (that is otherwise allowed), 1 prevents write accesses, and 2 or 3 prevent any access. Implicit in this is that the regions of the address space that are protected are switched to use 4k hardware pages rather than 64k hardware pages (on machines with hardware 64k page support). In fact the whole process is switched to use 4k hardware pages when the subpage_prot system call is used, but this could be improved in future to switch only the affected segments. The subpage protection bits are stored in a 3 level tree akin to the page table tree. The top level of this tree is stored in a structure that is appended to the top level of the page table tree, i.e., the pgd array. Since it will often only be 32-bit addresses (below 4GB) that are protected, the pointers to the first four bottom level pages are also stored in this structure (each bottom level page contains the protection bits for 1GB of address space), so the protection bits for addresses below 4GB can be accessed with one fewer loads than those for higher addresses.

2007-12-23[POWERPC] 4xx: PLB to PCI Express supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds to the previous 2 patches the support for the 4xx PCI Express cells as found in the 440SPe revA, revB and 405EX. Unfortunately, due to significant differences between these, and other interesting "features" of those pieces of HW, the code isn't as simple as it is for PCI and PCI-X and some of the functions differ significantly between the 3 implementations. Thus, not only this code can only support those 3 implementations for now and will refuse to operate on any other, but there are added ifdef's to avoid the bloat of building a fairly large amount of code on platforms that don't need it. Also, this code currently only supports fully initializing root complex nodes, not endpoint. Some more code will have to be lifted from the arch/ppc implementation to add the endpoint support, though it's mostly differences in memory mapping, and the question on how to represent endpoint mode PCI in the device-tree is thus open.

2007-12-21[POWERPC] Make non-PCI build work againStephen Rothwell
Maple and pasemi both require PCI as does CONFIG_OF_PLATFORM_PCI. The default setting of CONFIG_ISA_DMA_API is set to match the protection around the relevant routines in asm/dma.h. I also had to remove the PMAC platform from the combined build. The precis is that to build a 64 bit kernel with no PCI, you can only include pSeries and iSeries.

2007-11-29Fix boot problem with iSeries lacking hugepage supportMel Gorman
Ordinarily the size of a pageblock is determined at compile-time based on the hugepage size. On PPC64, the hugepage size is determined at runtime based on what is supported by the machine. With legacy machines such as iSeries that do not support hugepages, HPAGE_SHIFT is 0. This results in pageblock_order being set to -PAGE_SHIFT and a crash results shortly afterwards. This patch adds a function to select a sensible value for pageblock order by default when HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is set. It checks that HPAGE_SHIFT is a sensible value before using the hugepage size; if it is not MAX_ORDER-1 is used. This is a fix for 2.6.24. Credit goes to Stephen Rothwell for identifying the bug and testing candidate patches. Additional credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for spotting a problem with respects to IA-64 before releasing. Additional credit to David Gibson for testing with the libhugetlbfs test suite.

2007-10-19Combine instrumentation menus in kernel/Kconfig.instrumentationMathieu Desnoyers
Quoting Randy: "It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file, 20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into 20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing. However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make _one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES, and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

2007-10-11[POWERPC] Adjust TASK_SIZE on ppc32 systems to 3GB that are capableKumar Gala
All ppc32 systems except PReP and 8xx are capable of handling 3G of user address space. Old legacy had set this to 2GB and no one has bothered to fix it. 8xx could be bumped up to 3GB if its SW TLB miss handlers were fixed up to properly determine kernel/user addresses.
