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.

2008-04-18[POWERPC] Fix device-tree locking vs. interruptsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Lockdep found out that we can occasionally take the device-tree lock for reading from softirq time (from rtas_token called by the rtas real time clock code called by the NTP code), while we take it occasionally for writing without masking interrupts. The combination of those two can thus deadlock. While some of those cases of interrupt read lock could be fixed (such as caching the RTAS tokens) I figured that taking the lock for writing is so rare (device-tree modification) that we may as well penalize that case and allow reading from interrupts. Thus, this turns all the writers to take the lock with irqs masked to avoid the situation.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] pseries/phyp dump: Reserve a variable amount of space at bootManish Ahuja
This changes the way we calculate how much space to reserve for the pHyp dump. Currently we reserve 256MB only. With this change, the code first checks to see if an amount has been specified on the boot command line with the "phyp_dump_reserve_size" option, and if so, uses that much. Otherwise it computes 5% of total ram and rounds it down to a multiple of 256MB, and uses the larger of that or 256MB. This is for large systems with a lot of memory (10GB or more). The aim is to have more space available for the kernel on reboot on machines with more resources. Although the dump will be collected pretty fast and the memory released really early on allowing the machine to have the full memory available, this alleviates any issues that can be caused by having way too little memory on very very large systems during those few minutes.

2008-03-26[POWERPC] pseries: phyp dump: Disable phyp-dump through boot-varManish Ahuja
This adds a kernel command line option "phyp_dump", which takes a 0/1 value for disabling/ enabling phyp_dump at boot time. Kdump can use this on cmdline (phyp_dump=0) to disable phyp-dump during boot when enabling itself. This will ensure only one dumping mechanism is active at any given time.

dt_mem_next_cell() currently does of_read_ulong(). This does not allow for the case where #size-cells and/or #address-cells = 2 on a 32-bit system, as it will end up reading 32 bits instead of the expected 64.

2007-12-11[POWERPC] Use SLB size from the device treeMichael Neuling
Currently we hardwire the number of SLBs to 64, but PAPR says we should use the ibm,slb-size property to obtain the number of SLB entries. This uses this property instead of assuming 64. If no property is found, we assume 64 entries as before. This soft patches the SLB handler, so it shouldn't change performance at all.

2007-11-01[POWERPC] 4xx: Workaround for the 440EP(x)/GR(x) processors identical PVR issue.Valentine Barshak
PowerPC 440EP(x) 440GR(x) processors have the same PVR values, since they have identical cores. However, FPU is not supported on GR(x) and enabling APU instruction broadcast in the CCR0 register (to enable FPU) may cause unpredictable results. There's no safe way to detect FPU support at runtime. This patch provides a workarund for the issue. We use a POWER6 "logical PVR approach". First, we identify all EP(x) and GR(x) processors as GR(x) ones (which is safe). Then we check the device tree cpu path. If we have a EP(x) processor entry, we call identify_cpu again with PVR | 0x8. This bit is always 0 in the real PVR. This way we enable FPU only for 440EP(x). Signed-off-by: Valentine Barshak <vbarshak@ru.mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2007-10-09[POWERPC] Use cache-inhibited large page bit from firmwarePaul Mackerras
Discussions with firmware architects have confirmed that the bit in the ibm,pa-features property that indicates support for cache-inhibited large (>= 64kB) page mappings does in fact mean that the hypervisor allows 64kB mappings to I/O devices. Thus we can now enable the code that tests that bit and sets our CPU_FTR_CI_LARGE_PAGE feature bit. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-03-08[POWERPC] Automatically lmb_reserve() initrdDavid Gibson
At present, when an initrd is passed to the kernel used flat device tree properties, the memory the initrd occupies must also be reserved in the flat tree's reserve map, or the kernel may overwrite it. That makes life more complicated than it could be for the bootwrapper. This patch makes the kernel automatically reserve the initrd's space. That in turn requires parsing the initrd parameters earlier than they are currently, in early_init_dt_scan_chosen() instead of check_for_initrd().

2007-03-08[POWERPC] Allow duplicate lmb_reserve() callsDavid Gibson
At present calling lmb_reserve() (and hence lmb_add_region()) twice for exactly the same memory region will cause strange behaviour. This makes life difficult when booting from a flat device tree with memory reserve map. Which regions are automatically reserved by the kernel has changed over time, so it's quite possible a newer kernel could attempt to auto-reserve a region which is also explicitly listed in the device tree's reserve map, leading to trouble. This patch avoids the problem by making lmb_reserve() ignore a call to reserve a previously reserved region. It also removes a now redundant test designed to avoid one specific case of the problem noted above. At present, this patch deals only with duplicate reservations of an identical region. Attempting to reserve two different, but overlapping regions will still cause problems. I might post another patch later dealing with this case, but I'm avoiding it now since it is substantially more complicated to deal with, less likely to occur and more likely to indicate a genuine bug elsewhere if it does occur.

2006-12-11[POWERPC] Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodesPaul Mackerras
For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an alternative, more compact representation for the information about the memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information. This adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation. The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can handle the alternative representation. There is however a subtlety here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory representation we request is different from the representation that firmware is currently using. This is because firmware can't change the representation on the fly. Further, some firmware versions used on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000). Because of this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines. We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the ibm,client-architecture-support call. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-12-04[POWERPC] Distinguish POWER6 partition modes and tell userspacePaul Mackerras
This adds code to look at the properties firmware puts in the device tree to determine what compatibility mode the partition is in on POWER6 machines, and set the ELF aux vector AT_HWCAP and AT_PLATFORM entries appropriately. Specifically, we look at the cpu-version property in the cpu node(s). If that contains a "logical" PVR value (of the form 0x0f00000x), we call identify_cpu again with this PVR value. A value of 0x0f000001 indicates the partition is in POWER5+ compatibility mode, and a value of 0x0f000002 indicates "POWER6 architected" mode, with various extensions disabled. We also look for various other properties: ibm,dfp, ibm,purr and ibm,spurr. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
