2007-06-29[POWERPC] disallow building powermac and tsi108 without PCIArnd Bergmann
The TSI108 code and the 32 bit powermac and chrp platforms have dependency on PCI that is not easy or desirable to get rid of. The easiest fix is to always select CONFIG_PCI if one of those platforms is enabled. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2007-06-29[POWERPC] rename add_bridge to avoid namespace clashesArnd Bergmann
Many platforms currently define their own add_bridge function, some of them globally. This breaks some multiplatform configurations. Prefixing each of these functions with the platform name avoids this problem. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Rewrite IO allocation & mapping on powerpc64Benjamin Herrenschmidt
This rewrites pretty much from scratch the handling of MMIO and PIO space allocations on powerpc64. The main goals are: - Get rid of imalloc and use more common code where possible - Simplify the current mess so that PIO space is allocated and mapped in a single place for PCI bridges - Handle allocation constraints of PIO for all bridges including hot plugged ones within the 2GB space reserved for IO ports, so that devices on hotplugged busses will now work with drivers that assume IO ports fit in an int. - Cleanup and separate tracking of the ISA space in the reserved low 64K of IO space. No ISA -> Nothing mapped there. I booted a cell blade with IDE on PIO and MMIO and a dual G5 so far, that's it :-) With this patch, all allocations are done using the code in mm/vmalloc.c, though we use the low level __get_vm_area with explicit start/stop constraints in order to manage separate areas for vmalloc/vmap, ioremap, and PCI IOs. This greatly simplifies a lot of things, as you can see in the diffstat of that patch :-) A new pair of functions pcibios_map/unmap_io_space() now replace all of the previous code that used to manipulate PCI IOs space. The allocation is done at mapping time, which is now called from scan_phb's, just before the devices are probed (instead of after, which is by itself a bug fix). The only other caller is the PCI hotplug code for hot adding PCI-PCI bridges (slots). imalloc is gone, as is the "sub-allocation" thing, but I do beleive that hotplug should still work in the sense that the space allocation is always done by the PHB, but if you unmap a child bus of this PHB (which seems to be possible), then the code should properly tear down all the HPTE mappings for that area of the PHB allocated IO space. I now always reserve the first 64K of IO space for the bridge with the ISA bus on it. I have moved the code for tracking ISA in a separate file which should also make it smarter if we ever are capable of hot unplugging or re-plugging an ISA bridge. This should have a side effect on platforms like powermac where VGA IOs will no longer work. This is done on purpose though as they would have worked semi-randomly before. The idea at this point is to isolate drivers that might need to access those and fix them by providing a proper function to obtain an offset to the legacy IOs of a given bus.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Fix per-cpu allocation on oldworld SMP powermacsPaul Mackerras
The per-cpu area(a) for the secondary CPU(s) isn't getting allocated on old SMP powermacs that don't have the secondary CPU(s) listed in the device tree, as per-cpu areas are now only allocated for CPUs in the cpu_possible_map, and we aren't setting the bits for the secondary CPU(s) until smp_prepare_cpus(), which is after per-cpu allocation. Therefore this sets the bits for CPUs 1..3 in cpu_possible_map in pmac_setup_arch, so they get per-cpu data allocated. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This allows "hotplugging" of CPUs on G5 machines. CPUs that are disabled are put into an idle loop with the decrementer frequency set to minimum.

2007-05-02[POWERPC] Fix suspend states againJohannes Berg
In commit 0fba3a1f39f8b0a50b56c8b068fa52131cbc84c2 (a very long time ago, May 2006), I fixed a bug that caused powermacs to crash when you tried entering standby/mem suspend states. As I'm now getting more familiar with the suspend code I notice a few more things: 1. we previously misunderstood what pm_ops is for, it isn't supposed to be for doing platform dependent suspend/resume stuff that needs to be done for suspend to disk (as we currently try to use it!), it is instead for entering platform dependent suspend states ("standby", "mem"). 2. due to the first point, we never properly save FPU and altivec states when suspending to disk. It probably hasn't hurt yet because the process that writes the "disk" to /sys/power/state uses neither and its context is used. This patch addresses these points as follows: 1. remove all pm_ops from powermac, powermac suspend to ram isn't currently usable via /sys/power/state but is done via the PMU instead. 2. move the code responsible for storing FPU/altivec state into save_processor_state and the set_context() call to restore_processor_state. 3. add a call to kernel_enable_spe() It may look like there is some code removal missing but that is actually because the new suspend.h file overrides the ppc/suspend.h one which was previously used.

2007-02-20backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphoreRichard Purdie

Therefore add a global mutex to take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all. Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't need it.

This patch first splits of_device.c and of_platform.c, the later containing the bits relative to of_platform_device's. On the "breaks" side of things, drivers uisng of_platform_device(s) need to include asm/of_platform.h now and of_(un)register_driver is now of_(un)register_platform_driver. In addition to a few utility functions to locate of_platform_device(s), the main new addition is of_platform_bus_probe() which allows the platform code to trigger an automatic creation of of_platform_devices for a whole tree of devices. The function acts based on the type of the various "parent" devices encountered from a provided root, using either a default known list of bus types that can be "probed" or a passed-in list. It will only register devices on busses matching that list, which mean that typically, it will not register PCI devices, as expected (since they will be picked up by the PCI layer). This will be used by Cell platforms using 4xx-type IOs in the Axon bridge and can be used by any embedded-type device as well.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Make pci_read_irq_line the defaultBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch reworks the way IRQs are fixed up on PCI for arch powerpc. It makes pci_read_irq_line() called by default in the PCI code for devices that are probed, and add an optional per-device fixup in ppc_md for platforms that really need to correct what they obtain from pci_read_irq_line(). It also removes ppc_md.irq_bus_setup which was only used by pSeries and should not be needed anymore. I've also removed the pSeries s7a workaround as it can't work with the current interrupt code anyway. I'm trying to get one of these machines working so I can test a proper fix for that problem. I also haven't updated the old-style fixup code from 85xx_cds.c because it's actually buggy :) It assigns pci_dev->irq hard coded numbers which is no good with the new IRQ mapping code. It should at least use irq_create_mapping(NULL, hard_coded_number); and possibly also set_irq_type() to set them as level low.

2006-10-10[POWERPC] Fix secondary CPU startup on old "powersurge" SMP powermacsPaul Mackerras
On the old "powersurge" SMP powermacs, the second CPU is started up by sending it an IPI, which has the side effect of stopping the timebase clock (so the secondary CPU's timebase can be synchronized with the primary's). The routine that did this used udelay, which will hang forever when the timebase is stopped, since udelay now spins until the timebase reaches a certain value. The end result is that the kernel would hang when bringing up the second CPU. This fixes it by using a simple loop which just does a fixed number of iterations to generate the delay. These old systems were all clocked at around 200 MHz or so, so a fixed number of iterations is acceptable. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-04[POWERPC] Get default baud rate in udbg_sccBenjamin Herrenschmidt
On powermac, when open firmware is set to use the SCC for console, this causes the low level udbg early console to read back the speed and re-use it instead of hard coding 57600 bps. This doesn't (yet) pass the detected speed all the way to pmac_zilog though. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
