463ce0e103 [PATCH] powerpc: serial port discovery (#2)
This moves the discovery of legacy serial ports to a separate file,
makes it common to ppc32 and ppc64, and reworks it to use the new OF
address translators to get to the ports early. This new version can also
detect some PCI serial cards using legacy chips and will probably match
those discovered port with the default console choice.

Only ppc64 gets udbg still yet, unifying udbg isn't finished yet.

It also adds some speed-probing code to udbg so that the default console
can come up at the same speed it was set to by the firmware.

d1405b8698 [PATCH] powerpc: Add OF address parsing code (#2)
Parsing addresses extracted from Open Firmware isn't a simple matter. We
have various bits of code that try to do it in various place, including
some heuristics in prom.c that pre-parse addresses at boot and fill
device-nodes "addrs", but those are dodgy at best and I want to
deprecate them. So this patch introduces a new set of routines that
should be capable of parsing most types of addresses and translating
them into CPU physical addresses. It currently works for things on PCI
busses and ISA busses and should work on "standard" busses like the root
bus or the MacIO bus that don't put funky flags in addresses. If you
have other bus types that do use funky flags, you'll have to add new bus
type translators, which is fairly easy.

8b3d6663c6 [PATCH] spufs: cooperative scheduler support
This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use
more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the
system.

Currently, there is no support for preempting a running
SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering
an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the
owning thread or by sending a signal to it.

This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU
in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore
to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath
us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change
the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save
or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore
to read-only.

401d1f029b [PATCH] syscall entry/exit revamp
This cleanup patch speeds up the null syscall path on ppc64 by about 3%,
and brings the ppc32 and ppc64 code slightly closer together.

The ppc64 code was checking current_thread_info()->flags twice in the
syscall exit path; once for TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A before disabling
interrupts, and then again for TIF_SIGPENDING|TIF_NEED_RESCHED etc after
disabling interrupts. Now we do the same as ppc32 -- check the flags
only once in the fast path, and re-enable interrupts if necessary in the
ptrace case.

The patch abolishes the 'syscall_noerror' member of struct thread_info
and replaces it with a TIF_NOERROR bit in the flags, which is handled in
the slow path. This shortens the syscall entry code, which no longer
needs to clear syscall_noerror.

The patch adds a TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag which causes the syscall exit slow
path to save the non-volatile GPRs into a signal frame. This removes the
need for the assembly wrappers around sys_sigsuspend(),
sys_rt_sigsuspend(), et al which existed solely to save those registers
in advance. It also means I don't have to add new wrappers for ppoll()
and pselect(), which is what I was supposed to be doing when I got
distracted into this...

Finally, it unifies the ppc64 and ppc32 methods of handling syscall exit
directly into a signal handler (as required by sigsuspend et al) by
introducing a TIF_RESTOREALL flag which causes _all_ the registers to be
reloaded from the pt_regs by taking the ret_from_exception path, instead
of the normal syscall exit path which stomps on the callee-saved GPRs.

It appears to pass an LTP test run on ppc64, and passes basic testing on
ppc32 too. Brief tests of ptrace functionality with strace and gdb also
appear OK. I wouldn't send it to Linus for 2.6.15 just yet though :)

3d1229d6ae [PATCH] powerpc: Merge kexec
This patch merges, to some extent, the PPC32 and PPC64 kexec implementations.

We adopt the PPC32 approach of having ppc_md callbacks for the kexec functions.
The current PPC64 implementation becomes the "default" implementation for PPC64
which platforms can select if they need no special treatment.

I've added these default callbacks to pseries/maple/cell/powermac, this means
iSeries no longer supports kexec - but it never worked anyway.

I've renamed PPC32's machine_kexec_simple to default_machine_kexec, inline with
PPC64. Judging by the comments it might be better named machine_kexec_non_of,
or something, but at the moment it's the only implementation for PPC32 so it's
the "default".

Kexec requires machine_shutdown(), which is in machine_kexec.c on PPC32, but we
already have in setup-common.c on powerpc. All this does is call
ppc_md.nvram_sync, which only powermac implements, so instead make
machine_shutdown a ppc_md member and have it call core99_nvram_sync directly
on powermac.

I've also stuck relocate_kernel.S into misc_32.S for powerpc.

Built for ARCH=ppc, and 32 & 64 bit ARCH=powerpc, with KEXEC=y/n. Booted on
P5 LPAR and successfully kexec'ed.

8b1af56b29 powerpc: Fix i8259 cascade on pSeries with XICS interrupt controller
It turns out that commit f9bd170a87
broke the cascade from XICS to i8259 on pSeries machines; specifically
we ended up not ever doing the EOI on the XICS for the cascade.  The
result was that interrupts from the serial ports (and presumably any
other devices using ISA interrupts) didn't get through.  This fixes
it and also simplifies the code, by doing the EOI on the XICS in the
xics_get_irq routine after reading and acking the interrupt on the
i8259.

23ed6cb9a2 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix SLB flushing path in hugepage
On ppc64, when opening a new hugepage region, we need to make sure any
old normal-page SLBs for the area are flushed on all CPUs.  There was
a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into
the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss
handler) only on one CPU, not on all.  This could cause incorrect SLB
entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running
simultaneously on several CPUs.  This patch corrects the error,
copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm
in question before flushing any existing SLB entries.

cbf52afdc0 [PATCH] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepages
On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so
between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed.
Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache
clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and
it being mapped into userspace for execute.  We were not doing this
for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation.

We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying
the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page
in question.

dabcafd3f3 [PATCH] powerpc: Set cache info defaults
Cache info is setup by walking the device tree in initialize_cache_info().
However, icache_flush_range might be called before that, in
slb_initialize()->patch_slb_encoding, which modifies the load immediate
instructions used with SLB fault code.

Not only that, but depending on memory layout, we might take SLB faults
during unflatten_device_tree. So that fault will load an SLB entry that
might not contain the right LLP flags for the segment.

Either we can walk the flattened device tree to setup cache info, or
we can pick the known defaults that are known to work. Doing it in the
flattened device tree is hairier since we need to know the machine type
to know what property to look for, etc, etc.

For now, it's just easier to go with the defaults. Worst thing that
happens from it is that we might waste a few cycles doing too small
dcbst/icbi increments.

6aab341e0a mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logic
This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP.  It allows a
VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.

Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
indeed mark them any other way.  It just works.  As a side effect, doing
mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.

Blah.  The patch [0] I recently sent fixing errors with

an off-by-one bug.  Furthermore, the related functions
touches_hugepage_*_range() and within_hugepage_*_range() are also
buggy.  Some of the bugs, like those addressed in [0] originated with
commit 7d24f0b8a5 where we tweaked the
semantics of where hugepages are allowed.  Other bugs have been there
essentially forever, and are due to the undefined behaviour of '<<'
with shift counts greater than the type width (LOW_ESID_MASK could
return non-zero for high ranges with the right congruences).

The good news is that I now have a testsuite which should pick up
things like this if they creep in again.

Commit 7d24f0b8a5 fixed bugs in the ppc64 SLB
miss handler with respect to hugepage handling, and in the process tweaked
the semantics of the hugepage address masks in mm_context_t.

Unfortunately, it left out a couple of necessary changes to go with that
change.  First, the in_hugepage_area() macro was not updated to match,
second prepare_hugepage_range() was not updated to correctly handle
hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB point.

The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map such
a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages() is
triggered at the wrong point.  This patch addresses both bugs.

8bf1101bd5 [PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execve
Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return
probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve,
do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread.  The fix is to
remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread().  This fix has
been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has
been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64).  Please apply.

BACKGROUND

Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a
task exits, and when it execs.  Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is
correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more
return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit().  Neither
is the case for sys_execve() and its callees.

Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless
because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function
back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its
kretprobe_instance.  When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety
measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and
x86_64.  sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for
return probes until this fix was developed.

7ce774b480 [PATCH] mm: powerpc init_mm without ptlock
Restore an earlier mod which went missing in the powerpc reshuffle: the 4xx
mmu_mapin_ram does not need to take init_mm.page_table_lock.

01edcd891c [PATCH] mm: powerpc ptlock comments
Update comments (only) on page_table_lock and mmap_sem in arch/powerpc.
Removed the comment on page_table_lock from hash_huge_page: since it's no
longer taking page_table_lock itself, it's irrelevant whether others are; but
how it is safe (even against huge file truncation?) I can't say.

0b14c179a4 [PATCH] unpaged: VM_UNPAGED
Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few
drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage.  The
PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in
zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages
just leak away.

Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core,
to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they
have then it's not to be touched.  Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in
core mm by VM_UNPAGED.  Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and
sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range.

Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there.  Is it
needed anywhere?  It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special
vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be
eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it
kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages
don't get on).

Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no
purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.

54c4e6b5fe powerpc: Fix bug in timebase synchronization on 32-bit SMP powermac
We were using udelay in the loop on the primary cpu waiting for the
secondary cpu to take the timebase value.  Unfortunately now that
udelay uses the timebase, and the timebase is stopped at this point,
the udelay never terminated.  This fixes it by not using udelay, and
increases the number of loops before we time out to compensate.

f8ef270596 powerpc: Merge pci.h
This involves some minor changes: a few unused functions that the
ppc32 pci.c provides are no longer declared here or exported;
pcibios_assign_all_busses now just refers to the pci_assign_all_buses
variable on both 32-bit and 64-bit; pcibios_scan_all_fns is now
just 0 instead of a function that always returns 0 on 64-bit.

800fc3eeb0 [PATCH] powerpc: Remove imalloc.h
asm-ppc64/imalloc.h is only included from files in arch/powerpc/mm.
We already have a header for mm local definitions,
arch/powerpc/mm/mmu_decl.h.  Thus, this patch moves the contents of
imalloc.h into mmu_decl.h.  The only exception are the definitions of
PHBS_IO_BASE, IMALLOC_BASE and IMALLOC_END.  Those are moved into
pgtable.h, next to similar definitions of VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_SIZE.

Built for multiplatform 32bit and 64bit (ARCH=powerpc).

e53566409c [PATCH] powerpc: Fix setting MPIC priority
Trying to set the priority would just disable the interrupt due to an
incorrect mask used. We rarely use that call, in fact, I think only in
the powermac code for the cmd-power key combo that triggers xmon. So it
got unnoticed for a while.
