2007-08-17[POWERPC] pseries: Eliminate global error_log_cnt variableLinas Vepstas
Eliminate the use of error_log_cnt as a global var shared across different directories. Pass it as a parameter instead.

2007-08-17[POWERPC] pseries: Fix jumbled no_logging flagLinas Vepstas
Get rid of the jumbled usage of the no_logging flag. Its use spans several directories, and is incorrectly/misleadingly documented. Instead, two changes: 1) nvram will accept error log as soon as its ready. 2) logging to nvram stops on the first fatal error reported.

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2Arjan van de Ven
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

2006-12-13[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() callsRobert P. J. Day
Run this: #!/bin/sh for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do echo "De-casting $f..." perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f done And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers to non-pointers. And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

2006-04-29[PATCH] nvram_print_partitions cosmetic fixupWill Schmidt
This is a cosmetic fixup. When printing the nvram partition table, the first couple entries have a shorter 'index' value than the others, so table is a bit askew. This change makes the table look pretty. Tested on pseries and g5. Footnote: yes, this table is normally hidden behind a DEBUG_NVRAM #define.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: fix large nvram accessArnd Bergmann
/dev/nvram uses the user-provided read/write size for kmalloc, which fails, if a large number is passed. This will always use a single page at most, which can be expected to succeed. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-18powerpc: Move remaining .c files from arch/ppc64 to arch/powerpcPaul Mackerras
This also deletes the now-unused Makefiles under arch/ppc64. Both of the files moved over could use some merging, but for now I have moved them as-is and arranged for them to be used only in 64-bit kernels. For 32-bit kernels we still use arch/ppc/kernel/idle.c and drivers/char/generic_nvram.c as before. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
