2008-07-09powerpc: rework 4xx PTE access and TLB missBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This is some preliminary work to improve TLB management on SW loaded TLB powerpc platforms. This introduce support for non-atomic PTE operations in pgtable-ppc32.h and removes write back to the PTE from the TLB miss handlers. In addition, the DSI interrupt code no longer tries to fixup write permission, this is left to generic code, and _PAGE_HWWRITE is gone.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] Introduce lowmem_end_addr to distinguish from total_lowmemKumar Gala
total_lowmem represents the amount of low memory, not the physical address that low memory ends at. If the start of memory is at 0 it happens that total_lowmem can be used as both the size and the address that lowmem ends at (or more specifically one byte beyond the end). To make the code a bit more clear and deal with the case when the start of memory isn't at physical 0, we introduce lowmem_end_addr that represents one byte beyond the last physical address in the lowmem region.

2007-11-01[POWERPC] 4xx: Deal with 44x virtually tagged icacheBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches in their distro... This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon return to user space when that happens. This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which isn't something I want to deal with.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Remove the dregs of APUS support from arch/powerpcDavid Gibson
APUS (the Amiga Power-Up System) is not supported under arch/powerpc and it's unlikely it ever will be. Therefore, this patch removes the fragments of APUS support code from arch/powerpc which have been copied from arch/ppc. A few APUS references are left in asm-powerpc in .h files which are still used from arch/ppc.

2007-05-02[POWERPC] Revise PPC44x MMU code for arch/powerpcDavid Gibson
This patch takes the definitions for the PPC44x MMU (a software loaded TLB) from asm-ppc/mmu.h, cleans them up of things no longer necessary in arch/powerpc and puts them in a new asm-powerpc/mmu_44x.h file. It also substantially simplifies arch/powerpc/mm/44x_mmu.c and makes a couple of small fixes necessary for the 44x MMU code to build and work properly in arch/powerpc.

2005-09-26powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.Paul Mackerras
This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm, arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc. For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc. The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
