powerpc: Make load_hander handle upto 64k offset

2012-11-15T04:08:03+00:00

If we change load_hander() to use an ori instead of addi, we can load handlers
upto 64k away provided we are still 64k aligned.

powerpc: Set paca->data_offset = 0 for boot cpu

2012-09-27T02:51:06+00:00

In commit 407821a we assigned a poison value to the paca->data_offset.

Unfortunately with CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y lockdep will read & write to percpu
data very early in boot, prior to us initialising the percpu areas,
leading to a crash.

We have been getting away with this because the data_offset was previously
set to zero. This causes lockdep to read & write to the initial copy of
the percpu variables, which are discarded later in boot.

Although that is "fishy", it does work, and for lock statistics it is no
big deal to discard the counts from early boot.

So set the paca->data_offset = 0 for the boot cpu paca only.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

2012-03-28T22:58:21+00:00

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

KVM: PPC: Convert RMA allocation into generic code

2012-03-05T12:57:25+00:00

We have code to allocate big chunks of linear memory on bootup for later use.
This code is currently used for RMA allocation, but can be useful beyond that
extent.

Make it generic so we can reuse it for other stuff later.

powerpc: Add gpages reservation code for 64-bit FSL BOOKE

2011-12-07T05:26:23+00:00

For 64-bit FSL_BOOKE implementations, gigantic pages need to be
reserved at boot time by the memblock code based on the command line.
This adds the call that handles the reservation, and fixes some code
comments.

It also removes the previous pr_err when reserve_hugetlb_gpages
is called on a system without hugetlb enabled - the way the code is
structured, the call is unconditional and the resulting error message
spurious and confusing.

powerpc: Copy down exception vectors after feature fixups

2011-11-16T03:47:54+00:00

kdump fails because we try to execute an HV only instruction. Feature
fixups are being applied after we copy the exception vectors down to 0
so they miss out on any updates.

We have always had this issue but it only became critical in v3.0
when we added CFAR support (breaks POWER5) and v3.1 when we added
POWERNV (breaks everyone).

powerpc: various straight conversions from module.h --> export.h

2011-10-31T23:30:44+00:00

All these files were including module.h just for the basic
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure.  We can shift them off to the
export.h header which is a way smaller footprint and thus
realize some compile time gains.
