3f51dd91c8 [PATCH] spufs: fix spufs_fill_dir error path
If creating one entry failed in spufs_fill_dir,
we never cleaned up the freshly created entries.
Fix this by calling the cleanup function on error.

e80358ad86 [PATCH] spufs: check for proper file pointer in sys_spu_run
Only checking for SPUFS_MAGIC is not reliable, because
it might not be unique in theory. Worse than that,
we accidentally allow spu_run to be performed on
any file in spufs, not just those returned from
spu_create as intended.

a easy way to reproduce it is log into the system using ssh and do:
	cat >/dev/ttyCPM0
then, switch to minicom and write some stuff on it back to ssh, a control C
produce the oops

this happens because uart_close calls uart_shutdown which frees xmit.buf,
currently used by xchar sending in cpm_uart_tx_pump(), which seems wrong.

the attached patch fixes the oops and also fixes xchar sending.

14c89e7fc8 [PATCH] powerpc: Replace VMALLOCBASE with VMALLOC_START
On ppc64, we independently define VMALLOCBASE and VMALLOC_START to be
the same thing: the start of the vmalloc() area at 0xd000000000000000.
VMALLOC_START is used much more widely, including in generic code, so
this patch gets rid of the extraneous VMALLOCBASE.

This does require moving the definitions of region IDs from page_64.h
to pgtable.h, but they don't clearly belong in the former rather than
the latter, anyway.  While we're moving them, clean up the definitions
of the REGION_IDs:
	- Abolish REGION_SIZE, it was only used once, to define
REGION_MASK anyway
	- Define the specific region ids in terms of the REGION_ID()
macro.
	- Define KERNEL_REGION_ID in terms of PAGE_OFFSET rather than
KERNELBASE.  It amounts to the same thing, but conceptually this is
about the region of the linear mapping (which starts at PAGE_OFFSET)
rather than of the kernel text itself (which is at KERNELBASE).

This patch still keeps the linear mapping, but looks for
proper ibm,dma-window properties to set up larger windows,
this makes the maximum supported RAM size 2GB.

If there is anything unusual about the dma-window properties,
we fall back to the old behavior.

462c853eb5 [PATCH] spufs: fix hexdump format
Output from hexdump with "%08x" depends on HOST platform's endian.
When building linux by cross toolchain, that difference makes errors.

59d6d39f30 [PATCH] spufs: fix module refcount race
One of the two users of spufs_calls.owner still has a race
when calling try_module_get while the module is removed.
This makes it use the correct instance of owner.

Noticed by Milton Miller.

dad482c256 [PATCH] cell: add platform detection code
I can't really get a conclusive answer from the firmware
people what to check for, so I just try scanning for
anything that starts with "IBM,CPB", which should be
correct for all hardware produced so far and for
systemsim.

3a843d7cd3 [PATCH] spufs: fix mailbox polling
Handling mailbox interrupts was broken in multiple respects,
the combination of which was hiding the bugs most of the time.

- The ibox interrupt mask was open initially even though there
  are no waiters on a newly created SPU.

- Acknowledging the mailbox interrupt did not work because
  it is level triggered and the mailbox data is never retrieved
  from inside the interrupt handler.

- The interrupt handler delivered interrupts with a disabled
  mask if another interrupt is triggered for the same class
  but a different mask.

- The poll function did not enable the interrupt if it had not
  been enabled, so we might run into the poll timeout if none of
  the other bugs saved us and no signal was delivered.

We probably still have a similar problem with blocking
read/write on mailbox files, but that will result in extra
wakeup in the worst case, not in incorrect behaviour.

2a911f0bb7 [PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability [part 2].
This patch reduces lock complexity of SPU scheduler, particularly
for involuntary preemptive switches.  As a result the new code
does a better job of mapping the highest priority tasks to SPUs.

Lock complexity is reduced by using the system default workqueue
to perform involuntary saves.  In this way we avoid nasty lock
ordering problems that the previous code had.  A "minimum timeslice"
for SPU contexts is also introduced.  The intent here is to avoid
thrashing.

While the new scheduler does a better job at prioritization it
still does nothing for fairness.

5110459f18 [PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability.
This patch makes it easier to preempt an SPU context by
having the scheduler hold ctx->state_sema for much shorter
periods of time.

As part of this restructuring, the control logic for the "run"
operation is moved from arch/ppc64/kernel/spu_base.c to
fs/spufs/file.c.  Of course the base retains "bottom half"
handlers for class{0,1} irqs.  The new run loop will re-acquire
an SPU if preempted.
