total_lowmem represents the amount of low memory, not the physical address that low memory ends at. If the start of memory is at 0 it happens that total_lowmem can be used as both the size and the address that lowmem ends at (or more specifically one byte beyond the end). To make the code a bit more clear and deal with the case when the start of memory isn't at physical 0, we introduce lowmem_end_addr that represents one byte beyond the last physical address in the lowmem region.

A number of users of PPC_MEMSTART (40x, ppc_mmu_32) can just always use 0 as we don't support booting these kernels at non-zero physical addresses since their exception vectors must be at 0 (or 0xfffx_xxxx). For the sub-arches that support relocatable interrupt vectors (book-e), it's reasonable to have memory start at a non-zero physical address. For those cases use the variable memstart_addr instead of the #define PPC_MEMSTART since the only uses of PPC_MEMSTART are for initialization and in the future we can set memstart_addr at runtime to have a relocatable kernel.

Fedora 9 works on Efika without the separate 'device-tree supplement', thanks to the kernel's own fixups. With one exception -- because 'CHRP' still appears on the 'machine:' line in /proc/cpuinfo, the installer misdetects the platform and misconfigures yaboot, putting it into a PReP boot partition instead of in the /boot filesystem where the Efika's firmware could find it. The kernel's fixups for Efika already correct one instance of 'chrp', in the 'device_type' property. This fixes it in the 'CODEGEN,description' property too, since that's what's exposed to userspace in /proc/cpuinfo.

This implements various helpers to support OF bindings for the GPIO LIB API. Previously this was PowerPC specific, but it seems this code isn't arch-dependent anyhow, so let's place it into of/. SPARC will not see this addition yet, real hardware seem to not use GPIOs at all. But this might change: http://www.leox.org/docs/faq_MLleon.html "16-bit I/O port" sounds promising. :-) Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com> Acked-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This fixes the handling of the preempt count when switching interrupt stacks so that HW interrupt properly get the softirq mask copied over from the previous stack. It also initializes the softirq stack preempt_count to 0 instead of SOFTIRQ_OFFSET, like x86, as __do_softirq() does the increment, and we hit some lockdep checks if we have it twice. That means we do run for a little while off the softirq stack with the preempt-count set to 0, which could be deadly if we try to take a softirq at that point, however we do so with interrupts disabled, so I think we are ok.

Currently, we initialize the "current" pointer in the PACA (which is used by the "current" macro in the kernel) before calling setup_system(). That means that early_setup() is called with current still "NULL" which is -not- a good idea. It happens to work so far but breaks with lockdep when early code calls printk. This changes it so that all PACAs are statically initialized with __current pointing to the init task. For non-0 CPUs, this is fixed up before use.

This fixes a potential bug at drivers/char/hvc_beat.c. - hvc_put_term_char routine will decrement "rest" variable twice, and forget to advance "buf" pointer by "nlen" bytes. This bug was not hit previously because the output handler in drivers/char/hvc_console.c splits given output into 16 bytes at maximum.

This changes the cpu_idle loop for 44x platforms to utilize the Wait Enable feature of the CPU. This helps virtulization solutions know when the guest Linux kernel is in an idle state. A command line option called "idle" is also added to allow people to change the idle loop back to the original variation. This is done by setting "idle=spin" on the kernel command line.

There is a potential bug in __lmb_alloc_base where we subtract `size' from the base address of a reserved region without checking whether the subtraction could wrap around and produce a very large unsigned value. In fact it probably isn't possible to hit the bug in practice since it would only occur in the situation where we can't satisfy the allocation request and there is a reserved region starting at 0. This fixes the potential bug by breaking out of the loop when we get to the point where the base of the reserved region is less than the size requested. This also restructures the loop to be a bit easier to follow. The same logic got copied into lmb_alloc_nid_unreserved, so this makes a similar change there. Here the bug is more likely to be hit because the outer loop (in lmb_alloc_nid) goes through the memory regions in increasing order rather than decreasing order as __lmb_alloc_base does, and we are therefore more likely to hit the case where we are testing against a reserved region with a base address of 0.

This makes no semantic changes. It fixes the whitespace and formatting a bit, gets rid of a local DBG macro and uses the equivalent pr_debug instead, and restructures one while loop that had a function call and assignment in the condition to be a bit more readable. Some comments about functions being called with relocation disabled were also removed as they would just be confusing to most readers now that the code is in lib/.

A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails. The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the allocator. It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer 'this_nid'. It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start', and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory assosciated with 'nid' ends. This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might not be working yet. This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted "careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers, it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.

The mv643xx_eth driver is being modified to support multiple instances of the ethernet silicon block on the same platform. Each block contains a single register bank containing the registers for up to three ports interleaved within that bank. This patch updates the PowerPC OF to platform_device glue code to support multiple silicon blocks, each with up to three ethernet ports. The main difference is that we now allow multiple mv64x60_shared platform_devices to be registered and we provide each port platform_device with a pointer to its associated shared platform_device. The pointer will not be used until the mv643xx_eth driver changes are committed.

If an SLB miss interrupt happens while the RI bit of MSR is zero, we can't just return, because RI being zero indicates that SRR0/SRR1 potentially had live values in them, and the process of taking an interrupt overwrites them. This should never happen, but if it does, we try to print a nice oops message. That doesn't work, however, because the code at unrecov_slb assumes that the MMU has been turned on, but we call it with the MMU off (and have done so since the SLB miss handler was rewritten to run without turning the MMU on) -- except on iSeries, where everything runs with the MMU on. This fixes it by adding the necessary code to turn the MMU on if necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
