2006-03-28[ARM] Fix decompressor serial IO to give CRLF not LFCRRussell King
As per the corresponding change to the serial drivers, arrange for ARM decompressors to give CRLF. Move the common putstr code into misc.c such that machines only need to supply "putc" and "flush" functions. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-03-22[ARM] 3381/1: ixp2000: fix slowport write timing control register fieldsLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The original version of the chip docs had the PW and SU fields in the slowport write timing control register accidentally reversed. This is mentioned in the errata (documentation change #4) and fixed in newer docs. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@wantstofly.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-03-22[ARM] 3380/1: ixp2000: simplify ixdp2x00_master_npu() checkLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek On the IXDP2x00s, the NPU that is PCI master is always the egress (i.e. 'master') NPU. At least on the IXDP2800, both NPUs have flash, so the ixp2000_has_flash() check in ixdp2x00_master_npu() is useless.

Patch from Deepak Saxena This patch adds support for Intel's IXDP28x5 platform.

2006-03-21[ARM] Remove asm/arch/irq.hRussell King
asm/arch/irq.h used to be included from asm/irq.h, but was removed from the ARM kernel a long time ago. Consequently, the contents of asm/arch/irq.h (which mostly contain a definition for fixup_irq()) have not been used. Hence, remove asm/arch/irq.h. Some machine support files incorrectly included this file, making little or no use of the contents. Move the contents to a local include file, and remove those include statements as well.

2006-01-13[ARM] 3257/1: ixp2000: map in scratch and sramLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek For the ixp2000 netdev driver, we need to map in a chunk of SRAM (to store the transmit and receive descriptors) and the scratch get/put area (so that we can use the scratchpad rings in the cpu for managing the descriptors.)

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek In its interrupt handler, the (NAPI) ixp2000 netdev driver needs to use the masked thread interrupt status register (instead of the raw one) to prevent scheduling polling when polling is already running when a TXdone interrupt comes in.

2005-11-01[ARM] 3052/1: add ixp2000 microcode loaderLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek This patch adds a microcode loader for the ixp2000 architecture. The ixp2000 is an xscale-based CPU with a number of additional small CPUs ('microengines') on die that can be programmed to do various things. Depending on the ixp2000 model, there are between 2 and 16 microengines. This code provides an API that allows configuring the microengines, loading code into them, and starting and stopping them and reading out a number of status registers, and is used by the microengine network driver that was recently announced to netdev.

When using XCB=101, writes to the same functional unit are still guaranteed to complete in order, so we only need to protect against: - reordering of writes to different functional units - masking an interrupt and then reenabling the IRQ bit in CPSR Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@wantstofly.org> Signed-off-by: Deepak Saxena <dsaxena@plexity.net> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-11-01[ARM] 3063/1: allow slave ixp2000 cpu resetLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek On the ixdp2x00, the slave CPU is currently not allowed to reset itself for fear that it will do something 'funky' on the PCI bus. This fear is ungrounded -- the slave CPU is wired up such that a CPU reset will not cause a PCI bus reset to be done.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The enp2611 version of the ixp2000 netdev driver needs to be able to access a number of on-board peripherals. ioremap() is not suitable for this, as that will cause XCB=000 mappings to be done, which will make the cpu susceptible to crashing on ixp2400 erratum #66. Properly aligned iotable mappings with MT_IXP2000_DEVICE will cause section mappings with XCB=101 to be done, which is safe.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek Introduce ixp2000_reg_wrb, which is a variant of ixp2000_reg_write that does a readback from the target register, to make sure that the write has been flushed out of the write buffer. Unlike the previous (ineffective) readback in ixp2000_reg_write, this readback is followed by an instruction that depends on the value of the readback so that the CPU actually stalls until the readback has completed.

2005-10-29[ARM] 3050/1: remove ixp2000_reg_write erratum #66 workaroundLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The workaround that we do for avoiding triggering ixp2400 erratum #66 involves mapping I/O pages using XCB=101 instead of XCB=000 so that we prevent the I/O signal to the gasket from being asserted (which can cause data corruption.) But XCB=101 mappings are write-buffered while mappings using XCB=000 are not, which is why if we use XCB=101 mappings we do a readback for every CSR store in an attempt to make sure that the store has been pushed out of the xscale core and the gasket. Unfortunately, there are two issues with this: - we do a readback for every CSR store, which is wrong, because the register we are writing to might have unwanted side-effects on read, for example, in the case of the scratchpad ring enqueue/dequeue registers; and - the readback is totally ineffective in the way we currently do it, because we just issue a load but do not issue any instruction that depends on the return value of that load, so the xscale core does not wait for the load to complete before continuing. See this linux-arm-kernel mailing list post for further information: http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2005-September/031314.html This means that my ixp2400 boxes have been running for many months without a working readback in ixp2000_reg_write, without any apparent adverse effects. Two of them have been running for a week now with the actual readback deleted from ixp2000_reg_write, also without any apparent ill effects. So, because in its current form it does more harm than good, the readback in ixp2000_reg_write should simply be killed, as the patch below does.

2005-09-15[ARM] 2911/1: ixp2000_reg_{read,write} accessorsLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek This patch: - changes the ixp2000_reg_write accessor to take a 'volatile void *' instead of a 'volatile unsigned long *', which then allows passing in a u32 * as first argument without being greeted with a warning; and - adds an ixp2000_reg_read accessor. We can then use these accessors in ixp2000 code to access on-chip peripherals, instead of directly dereferencing pointers. This is for use by the ixp2000 microengine driver which was recently announced on netdev. We can't use readl/writel on the ixp2000 since it is usually run in big-endian mode, and on big-endian platforms, readl/writel perform byteswapping. A future patch will remove the readback from ixp2000_reg_write, since it's not needed to prevent erratum #66, and add manual readbacks to the places that need them (writes are not synchronous since we map in device space using XCB=101 nowadays), such as interrupt disabling and GPIO manipulation.

Since this address is not 1M-aligned, a regular page mapping will be used instead of a section mapping, which opens up the possibility of triggering ixp2400 erratum #66 as we only do the XCB=101 workaround thing for section mappings. There is still a lot of space higher up in the virtual memory map for 1M mappings, so move the cpld mapping to 0xfe000000 and make it 1M big so that a section mapping will be used for it.

2005-06-20[PATCH] ARM: 2701/1: free up ixp2000 timer 4 for the watchdogLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The IXP2000 has four timers, but if we're on an A-step IXP2800, timer 2 and 3 don't work. We need two timers for timekeeping (one for the timer interrupt and one for tracking missed jiffies), so on early IXP2800s we have no other choice but to use timer 1 and 4 for that, but on all other IXP2000s we'd rather leave timer 4 free since that's the only timer we can use for the watchdog. So, on buggy IXP2000s (i.e. the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 4 for tracking missed jiffies, and on all all non-buggy IXP2000s (i.e. everything but the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 2. On a pre-production IXP2800, this patch should print these messages on boot: Enabling IXP2800 erratum #25 workaround Unable to use IXP2000 watchdog due to IXP2800 erratum #25 On any non-buggy IXP2800 (as well as on IXP2400s) you shouldn't see anything at all, and the watchdog should be usable again.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.
