cdc39363d3 [PATCH] Directed yield: direct yield of spinlocks for powerpc
Powerpc already has a directed yield for CONFIG_PREEMPT="n".  To make it
work with CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" as well the _raw_{spin,read,write}_relax
primitives need to be defined to call __spin_yield() for spinlocks and
__rw_yield() for rw-locks.

ef6edc9746 [PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locks
On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
regard to spinlocks and rw-locks.  If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
lock (directed yield).

With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
common code changes.  Powerpc already does this.

With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
_raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c.  If the lock
could not be taken cpu_relax is called.  A directed yield is not possible
because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock.  To be able to
yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed.  The new _raw_spin_relax,
_raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

684f978347 [PATCH] Let WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE return the condition
Letting WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE return the condition means that you could do

if (WARN_ON(blah)) {
	handle_impossible_case
}

Rather than

if (unlikely(blah)) {
	WARN_ON(1)
	handle_impossible_case
}

I checked all the newly added WARN_ON_ONCE users and none of them test the
return status so we can still change it.

46a82b2d55 [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros
One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.

Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.

Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

7d452c326c [POWERPC] powerpc: fix building gdb against asm/ptrace.h
Ulrich Weigand found a bug with the current version of the
asm-powerpc/ptrace.h that prevents building at least the
SPU target version of gdb, since some ptrace opcodes are
not defined.

The problem seems to have originated in the merging of 32 and
64 bit versions of that file, the problem is that some opcodes
are only valid on 64 bit kernels, but are also used by 32 bit
programs, so they can't depends on the __powerpc64__ symbol.

f007cacffc [POWERPC] Fix MMIO ops to provide expected barrier behaviour
This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction
before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected
behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed
to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory.

To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering
between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions
have had an sync added before the load.

Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed
to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb()
is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous
behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required.
Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by
__raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock.  If it is
set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it.

This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX.  32-bit already has a
sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus
doesn't need the per-cpu flag.

Tested on G5 (PPC970) and POWER5.

The performance monitor implementation (including CTRL register behaviour)
is just included in PPC v2 as an example, it's not truly part of the base.

It's actually a somewhat misleading feature, but I'll leave that be for
now: The presence of the register is not what the feature bit is used
for, but instead it's used to determine if it contains the runlatch
bit for idle reporting of the performance monitor. For alternative
implementations, the register might still exist but the bit might have
different meaning (or no meaning at all).

For now, split it off and don't include it in CPU_FTR_PPCAS_ARCH_V2_BASE.

case for the second PT_LOAD segment. This is not an issue for 4K page
size because the the first page (32K backup) is copied to second

e0d872d536 [POWERPC] Fix problem with time not advancing on 32-bit platforms
This fixes a problem introduced in 5db9fa9593.
The last_jiffy per-cpu variable is only 32 bits on 32-bit machines, but it
was being compared with a 64-bit quantity (tb_next_jiffy), which resulted in
time not advancing.

This fixes it by changing last_jiffy to be 64 bits on all platforms.  With
this, we no longer need tb_last_stamp as a 32-bit version of tb_last_jiffy,
so this gets rid of tb_last_stamp and we just use tb_last_jiffy instead.
This also fixes a bug when the boot cpu is not online, because using
tb_last_stamp could have caused the wrong timebase origin value to be used
when calculating the time of day.

7233593b78 [POWERPC] Support for "weird" MPICs and fixup mpc7448_hpc2
This adds a new hardware information table for mpic. This enables
the mpic code to deal with mpic controllers with different register
layouts and hardware behaviours.

This introduces CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD.  For boards with non standard mpic
controllers, select CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD and add its hardware information
in the mpic_infos[] array.

TSI108/109 PIC takes the first index of weird hardware information
table.  :)  The table can be extended. The Tsi108/109 PIC looks like
standard OpenPIC but, in fact, is different in register mapping and
behavior.

The patch does not affect the behavior of standard mpic.  If
CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD is not defined, the code is essentially identical to
the current code.

[benh@kernel.crashing.org:
This patch is a slightly cleaned up version of Zang Roy's support for
the TSI108 MPIC variant. It also fixes up MPC7448_hpc2 to use the new
version of the type macros and changes the way MPIC is selected in
Kconfig to better match what is done for other system devices.

Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled.  The
slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary.  The free
path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around
an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers.  With slab debugging turned
on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not.
This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for
the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK.

The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least
significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable
cache types.  Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of
the huge pte pointer.

5db9fa9593 [POWERPC] Fix gettimeofday inaccuracies
There are two problems in the powerpc gettimeofday code which can
cause incorrect results to be returned.

The first is that there is a race between do_gettimeofday and the
timer interrupt:

1. do_gettimeofday does get_tb()

2. decrementer exception on boot cpu which runs timer_recalc_offset,
   which also samples the timebase and updates the do_gtod structure
   with a greater timebase value.

3. do_gettimeofday calls __do_gettimeofday, which leads to the
   negative result from tb_val - temp_varp->tb_orig_stamp.

The second is caused by taking the boot cpu offline, which can cause
the value of tb_last_jiffy to be increased past the currently
available timebase, causing the same underflow as above.

Kill host_set->next
Fix simplex support
Allow per platform setting of IDE legacy bases

Some of this can be tidied further later on, in particular all the
legacy port gunge belongs as a PCI quirk/PCI header decode to understand
the special legacy IDE rules in the PCI spec.

Longer term Jeff also wants to move the request_irq/free_irq out of core
which will make this even cleaner.

tj: folded in three followup patches - ata_piix-fix, broken-arch-fix
and fix-new-legacy-handling, and separated per-dev xfermask into
separate patch preceding this one.  Folded in fixes are...

* ata_piix-fix: fix build failure due to host_set->next removal
* broken-arch-fix: add missing include/asm-*/libata-portmap.h
* fix-new-legacy-handling:
	* In ata_pci_init_legacy_port(), probe_num was incorrectly
          incremented during initialization of the secondary port and
          probe_ent->n_ports was incorrectly fixed to 1.

	* Both legacy ports ended up having the same hard_port_no.

	* When printing port information, both legacy ports printed
	  the first irq.

2f6093c847 [POWERPC] Implement SLB shadow buffer
This adds a shadow buffer for the SLBs and regsiters it with PHYP.
Only the bolted SLB entries (top 3) are shadowed.

The SLB shadow buffer tells the hypervisor what the kernel needs to
have in the SLB for the kernel to be able to function.  The hypervisor
can use this information to speed up partition context switches.

40681b95a4 [POWERPC] Make doc comments extractable
We don't have much in the way of doc comments, but some of those we do have
don't work because they start with "/***" or "/*", not "/**" which is what
kernel-doc requires.
