271c3f35bd powerpc: Fix some compile problems with the VDSO stuff
We needed the VDSO symbols in the arch/ppc asm-offsets.c, and there
were a few usages of _systemcfg still left lying around.

548ccebc2a powerpc: Fix reading and writing SPRs from xmon on 32-bit
When we created the instructions to read/write SPRs in xmon, we were
setting up a ppc64-style procedure descriptor and calling that, which
doesn't work in 32-bit.  For 32-bit a function pointer just points
to the instructions of the function.  This fixes it to do the right
thing for both 32-bit and 64-bit.

22c841c9a4 powerpc: Initialize secondary CPU setup for 32-bit SMP
32-bit SMP powermacs weren't booting with ARCH=powerpc because the
boot cpu wasn't saving away the state of various control registers,
but the secondary CPUs were loading them from the uninitialized
state.  This adds the necessary save-state call.

a7f290dad3 [PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.

Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.

I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

35cd8785de [PATCH] powerpc: Move udbg code to arch/powerpc
Since the udbg code in ppc64 has no ppc32 equivalent, move it straight
over into arch/powerpc (and include/asm-powerpc for udbg.h).  In time,
we probably want to meld the various bits and pieces of 32-bit early
debugging code into udbg, but for now only include it on
CONFIG_PPC64=y builds.  The only change during the move is to
standardise the protecting #ifdef/#define in udbg.h, and move its
banner comment above the initial #ifdef (which seems to be normal
practice).

Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).  Built
for 32bit multiplatform (ARCH=powerpc).

45fb6cea09 [PATCH] ppc64: Convert NUMA to sparsemem (3)
Convert to sparsemem and remove all the discontigmem code in the
process. This has a few advantages:

- The old numa_memory_lookup_table can go away
- All the arch specific discontigmem magic can go away

We also remove the triple pass of memory properties and instead create a
list of per node extents that we iterate through. A final cleanup would
be to change our lmb code to store extents per node, then we can reuse
that information in the numa code.

0f34f49029 [PATCH] ppc64: fix PCI IO mapping
phbs_remap_io(), which maps the PCI IO space into the kernel virtual space,
is called too early on powermac, and thus doesn't work.

This fixes it by removing the call from all platforms and putting it back
into the ppc64 common code where it belongs, after the actual probing of
the bus.

That means that before that call, only the ISA IO space (if any) is mapped,
any PIO access (from quirks for example) will fail. This happens not to be
a problem for now, but we'll have to rework that code if it becomes one in
the future.

3ddfbcf19b [PATCH] powerpc: Consolidate asm compatibility macros
This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for
compatibility across different CPUs or configs.  A new header,
asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros.  It
uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use
in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files.  Headers (bitops.h,
uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility
macros are changed to use asm-compat.h.

ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces
that.  As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution
here than in asm-compat.h.

While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in
futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't.

26ef5c0957 [PATCH] powerpc: Merge cacheflush.h and cache.h
The ppc32 and ppc64 versions of cacheflush.h were almost identical.
The two versions of cache.h are fairly similar, except for a bunch of
register definitions in the ppc32 version which probably belong better
elsewhere.  This patch, therefore, merges both headers.  Notable
points:
	- there are several functions in cacheflush.h which exist only
on ppc32 or only on ppc64.  These are handled by #ifdef for now, but
these should probably be consolidated, along with the actual code
behind them later.
	- Confusingly, both ppc32 and ppc64 have a
flush_dcache_range(), but they're subtly different: it uses dcbf on
ppc32 and dcbst on ppc64, ppc64 has a flush_inval_dcache_range() which
uses dcbf.  These too should be merged and consolidated later.
	- Also flush_dcache_range() was defined in cacheflush.h on
ppc64, and in cache.h on ppc32.  In the merged version it's in
cacheflush.h
	- On ppc32 flush_icache_range() is a normal function from
misc.S.  On ppc64, it was wrapper, testing a feature bit before
calling __flush_icache_range() which does the actual flush.  This
patch takes the ppc64 approach, which amounts to no change on ppc32,
since CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE will never be set there, but does mean
renaming flush_icache_range() to __flush_icache_range() in
arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S and arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S
	- The PReP register info from asm-ppc/cache.h has moved to
arch/ppc/platforms/prep_setup.c
	- The 8xx register info from asm-ppc/cache.h has moved to a
new asm-powerpc/reg_8xx.h, included from reg.h
	- flush_dcache_all() was defined on ppc32 (only), but was
never called (although it was exported).  Thus this patch removes it
from cacheflush.h and from ARCH=powerpc (misc_32.S) entirely.  It's
left in ARCH=ppc for now, with the prototype moved to ppc_ksyms.c.

Built for Walnut (ARCH=ppc), 32-bit multiplatform (pmac, CHRP and PReP

a23414beb6 ppc/powerpc: workarounds for old Open Firmware versions
This adds code to work around some problems with old versions of
Open Firmware, such as on the early powermacs (7500 etc.) and the
"Longtrail" CHRP machine.  On these machines we have to claim
the physical and virtual address ranges explicitly when claiming
memory and then set up a V->P mapping.

The Longtrail has more problems: setprop doesn't work, and we have
to set an "allow-reclaim" variable to 0 in order to get claim on
physical memory ranges to fail if the memory is already claimed.

172ca92618 [PATCH] ppc64: PCI error event dispatcher
12-eeh-event-dispatcher.patch

ppc64: EEH Recovery dispatcher thread

This patch adds a mechanism to create recovery threads when an
EEH event is received.  Since an EEH freeze state may be detected
within an interrupt context, we need to get out of the interrupt
context before starting recovery. This dispatcher does this in
two steps: first, it uses a workqueue to get out, and then
lanuches a kernel thread, so that the recovery routine can
sleep for exteded periods without upseting the keventd.

A kernel thread is created with each EEH event, rather than
having one long-running daemon started at boot time.  This is
because it is anticipated that EEH events will be very rare
(very very rare, ideally) and so its pointless to cluter the
process tables with a daemon that will almost never run.

64c7c8f885 [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle rework
Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid.  Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.

* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
  and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
  atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
  when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
  protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.

- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
  won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.

- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
  TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.

- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
  after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.

Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.

* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
  becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
  (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.

- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
  to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
  assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
  held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
  to the idle thread.

- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
  most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
  set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
  a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.

  Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
  can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
  the idle task.

  POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

5bfb5d690f [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks
Run idle threads with preempt disabled.

Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?

Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.

We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.

After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.

By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

143dcec2f7 [PATCH] ppc64: add MODALIAS= for vio bus
A non-broken udev would autoload also the drivers for devices on the
pseries vio bus, like ibmveth, ibmvscsic and hvsc.  This is similar to pci,
usb and ieee1394:

 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.alias
alias vio:TvscsiSIBM,v-scsi* ibmvscsic
alias vio:TnetworkSIBM,l-lan* ibmveth
alias vio:Tserial-serverShvterm2* hvcs

fca5dcd483 powerpc: Simplify and clean up the xmon terminal I/O
This factors out the common bits of arch/powerpc/xmon/start_*.c into
a new nonstdio.c, and removes some stuff that was supposed to make
xmon's I/O routines somewhat stdio-like but was never used.

It also makes the parsing of the xmon= command line option common,
so that ppc32 can now use xmon={off,on,early} also.
