      [PATCH] ppc64: janitor log_rtas_error() call arguments · e1148e37
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      This patch from Linas Vepstas (rediffed by me) fixes the confusing argument
aliasing of the log_rtas_error() subroutine.

This patch makes no functional changes, it just cleans up some strange
usage.

The rtas_args used to communicate with firmware are always taken from the
paca struct, so as to keep the args at a fixed, low-memory location.  But
the log_rtas_error() routine also took an rtas_args pointer, which it
assumed was aliased to the paca struct.  This aliasing is both
un-neccessary, and confusing; this patch eliminates this confusion.

      [PATCH] ppc64: PACA cleanup · 16b004a7
      David Gibson authored 
      Cleanup the PPC64 PACA structure.  It was previously a big mess of
unecessary fields, overengineered cache layout and uninformative comments. 
This is essentially a rewrite of include/asm-pp64/paca.h with associated
changes elsewhere.  The patch:

- Removes unused PACA fields

- Removes uneeded #includes

- Uses gcc attributes instead of explicit padding to get the desired
  cacheline layout, also rethinks the layout and comments accordingly.

- Better comments where asm or firmware dependencies apply non-obvious
  layout constraints.

- Splits up the pointless STAB structure, letting us move its elements
  independently.

- Uses offsetof instead of hardcoded offset in spinlocks.

- Eradicates xStudlyCaps identifiers

- Replaces PACA guard page with an explicitly defined emergency stack
  (removing more than NR_CPUS pages from the initialized data segment).

      [PATCH] ppc64: remove RTAS arguments from PACA · 78c39c9f
      David Gibson authored 
      This patch removes the RTAS arguments structure on ppc64 from the PACA. 
The args have to be in the RMO, but since we have a global spinlock for
RTAS anyway, there's no reason to have a separate copy of the args per-CPU.
 This patch replaces the PACA field with a single instance in the global
rtas structure.

The one exception is for the rtas_stop_self() call, which can't take the
lock, because it never returns.  But it has a fixed set of arguments, so we
can use another global instance which is initialized at boot.

This lets us remove rtas.h from paca.h, which substantially reduces overall
#include hairiness (because paca.h is now, as it wants to be, a nice
low-level structure-defining header which relies on very little and can
safely be included almost anywhere).  Although it does add some noise to
the patch, because a bunch of places relied on the indirect inclusion of
rtas.h, or even more indirect inclusions (see the hunks applying to eeh.h
and current.h!).
