e821ea70 introduced a bug by copying some 64-bit originated code as-is to be used by both 32 and 64-bit but this code contains a 64-bit ony "cmpdi" instruction. This changes it to cmpwi, which is fine since VRSAVE can only contains a 32-bit value anyway. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> CC: <stable@kernel.org>

At the moment when we EOI an interrupt we set the CPPR back to 0xFF regardless of its previous value. This could lead to problems if we take an interrupt with a priority of 5, but before EOIing it we get an IPI which has a priority of 4. The problem is that at the moment when we EOI the IPI we will set the CPPR to 0xFF, but it should really be set back to 5 (the previous priority). To keep track of the previous CPPR values we create the xics_cppr structure that has an array for CPPR values and an index pointing to the current priority. This can easily grow if new priorities get added in the future. This will also be useful because the partition adjunct option of upcoming machines will update the H_XIRR hcall to accept the CPPR as a parameter.

The recent patch to add cpu offline/online as part of the DLPAR process for pseries causes a build break if CONFIG_SMP is not defined. Original patch here; http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-November/078299.html This corrects the build break by moving the online_node_cpus and offline_node_cpus under the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE portions of dlpar.c. This patch also slightly modifies the online_node_cpus and offline_node_cpus routines to prepend dlpar_ to the them and make them static. These two routine are only used in the dlpar add/remove of cpus and these changes should help clarify that.

Writing a driver using SCLPC on the MPC5200B I detected, that the intspec arrays to map irqs to Linux virq cannot be const, because the mapping and xlate functions only take non const pointers. All those functions do not modify the intspec, so a const pointer could be used.

Update the TLB asm to make proper use of _PAGE_DIRY and _PAGE_ACCESSED. Get rid of _PAGE_HWWRITE too. Pros: - I/D TLB Miss never needs to write to the linux pte. - _PAGE_ACCESSED is only set on TLB Error fixing accounting - _PAGE_DIRTY is mapped to 0x100, the changed bit, and is set directly when a page has been made dirty. - Proper RO/RW mapping of user space. - Free up 2 SW TLB bits in the linux pte(add back _PAGE_WRITETHRU ?) - kernel RO/user NA support. Cons: - A few more instructions in the TLB Miss routines. Signed-off-by: Joakim Tjernlund <Joakim.Tjernlund@transmode.se> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation process comprises of two steps: - Set the indicators and to update the device tree with DLPAR node information. - Online/offline the allocated/deallocated CPU. This is achieved by writing to the sysfs tunables "probe" during allocation and "release" during deallocation. At the sametime, the userspace can independently online/offline the CPUs of the system using the sysfs tunable "online". It is quite possible that when a userspace tool offlines a CPU for the purpose of deallocation and is in the process of updating the device tree, some other userspace tool could bring the CPU back online by writing to the "online" sysfs tunable thereby causing the deallocate process to fail. The solution to this is to serialize writes to the "probe/release" sysfs tunable with the writes to the "online" sysfs tunable. This patch employs a mutex to provide this serialization, which is a no-op on all architectures except PPC_PSERIES Signed-off-by: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation on pSeries is a two step process from the Userspace. - Set the indicators and update the device tree by writing to the sysfs tunable "probe" during allocation and "release" during deallocation. - Online / Offline the CPUs of the allocated/would_be_deallocated node by writing to the sysfs tunable "online". This patch adds kernel code to online/offline the CPUs soon_after/just_before they have been allocated/would_be_deallocated. This way, the userspace tool that performs DLPAR operations would only have to deal with one set of sysfs tunables namely "probe" and release".

Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2 of the patch. In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system. This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding and removing cpus to/from the system. This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts from writes to the sysfs files. The creation and use of these files is regulated by the CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the capability will have the files created.

The Dynamic Logical Partitioning capabilities of the powerpc pseries platform allows for the addition and removal of resources (i.e. CPU's, memory, and PCI devices) from a partition. The removal of a resource involves removing the resource's node from the device tree and then returning the resource to firmware via the rtas set-indicator call. To add a resource, it is first obtained from firmware via the rtas set-indicator call and then a new device tree node is created using the ibm,configure-coinnector rtas call and added to the device tree. This patch provides the kernel DLPAR infrastructure in a new filed named dlpar.c. The functionality provided is for acquiring and releasing a resource from firmware and the parsing of information returned from the ibm,configure-connector rtas call. Additionally this exports the pSeries reconfiguration notifier chain so that it can be invoked when device tree updates are made.

In commit 0512a9a8, we unilaterally zero the "pwm invert" bit in the fan behavior configuration register. On my PowerBook G4, this results in the fans going to full speed at low temperature and shutting off at high temperature because the pwm invert bit is supposed to be set. Therefore, record the pwm invert bit at driver load time, and write the bit into the fan behavior control register. This restores correct behavior on my PBG4 and should work around the bit being set to the wrong value after suspend/resume (which is what the original patch was trying to fix). It also fixes a minor omission where the pwm invert bit correction is NOT performed when switching into automatic mode. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

This is a libata driver for the "macio" IDE controller used on most Apple PowerMac and PowerBooks. It's a libata equivalent of drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c It supports all the features of its predecessor, including mediabay hotplug and suspend/resume. It should also support module load/unload. The timing calculations have been simplified to use pre-calculated tables compared to drivers/ide/pmac.c and it uses the new mediabay interface provided by a previous patch.

The hotplug mediabay has tendrils deep into drivers/ide code which makes a libata port reather difficult. In addition it's ugly and could be done better. This reworks the interface between the mediabay and the rest of the world so that: - Any macio_driver can now have a mediabay_event callback which will be called when that driver sits on a mediabay and it's been either plugged or unplugged. The device type is passed as an argument. We can now move all the IDE cruft into the IDE driver itself - A check_media_bay() function can be used to take a peek at the type of device currently in the bay if any, a cleaner variant of the previous function with the same name. - A pair of lock/unlock functions are exposed to allow the IDE driver to block the hotplug callbacks during the initial setup and probing of the bay in order to avoid nasty race conditions. - The mediabay code no longer needs to spin on the status register of the IDE interface when it detects an IDE device, this is done just fine by the IDE code itself Overall, less code, simpler, and allows for another driver than our old drivers/ide based one.
