powerpc: Fix device tree claim code

2011-08-16T01:31:42+00:00

commit 966728dd88b4026ec58fee169ccceaeaf56ef120 upstream.

I have a box that fails in OF during boot with:

DEFAULT CATCH!, exception-handler=fff00400
at   %SRR0: 49424d2c4c6f6768   %SRR1: 800000004000b002

ie "IBM,Logh". OF got corrupted with a device tree string.

Looking at make_room and alloc_up, we claim the first chunk (1 MB)
but we never claim any more. mem_end is always set to alloc_top
which is the top of our available address space, guaranteeing we will
never call alloc_up and claim more memory.

Also alloc_up wasn't setting alloc_bottom to the bottom of the
available address space.

This doesn't help the box to boot, but we at least fail with
an obvious error. We could relocate the device tree in a future
patch.

powerpc/kdump: Fix timeout in crash_kexec_wait_realmode

2011-08-05T04:58:37+00:00

commit 63f21a56f1cc0b800a4c00349c59448f82473d19 upstream.

The existing code it pretty ugly.  How about we clean it up even more
like this?

From: Anton Blanchard 

We check for timeout expiry in the outer loop, but we also need to
check it in the inner loop or we can lock up forever waiting for a
CPU to hit real mode.

irq_work, ppc: Fix up arch hooks

2011-08-05T04:58:35+00:00

commit 4f8b50bbbe63ae4ec6bea28a90a9a603c745ea71 upstream.

Commit e360adbe29 ("irq_work: Add generic hardirq context
callbacks") fouled up the ppc bit, not properly naming the
arch specific function that raises the 'self-IPI'.

arch/powerpc: use printk_ratelimited instead of printk_ratelimit

2011-06-29T05:31:01+00:00

Since printk_ratelimit() shouldn't be used anymore (see comment in
include/linux/printk.h), replace it with printk_ratelimited.

powerpc/rtas-rtc: remove sideeffects of printk_ratelimit

2011-06-29T05:30:43+00:00

Don't use printk_ratelimit() as an additional condition for returning
on an error. Because when the ratelimit is reached, printk_ratelimit
will return 0 and e.g. in rtas_get_boot_time won't check for an error
condition.

powerpc/e500: fix breakage with fsl_rio_mcheck_exception

2011-06-22T11:15:16+00:00

The wrong MCSR bit was being used on e500mc.  MCSR_BUS_RBERR only exists
on e500v1/v2.  Use MCSR_LD on e500mc, and remove all MCSR checking
in fsl_rio_mcheck_exception as we now no longer call that function
if the appropriate bit in MCSR is not set.

If RIO support was enabled at compile-time, but was never probed, just
return from fsl_rio_mcheck_exception rather than dereference a NULL
pointer.

TODO: There is still a remaining, though comparitively minor, issue in
that this recovery mechanism will falsely engage if there's an unrelated
MCSR_LD event at the same time as a RIO error.

powerpc: Force page alignment for initrd reserved memory

2011-06-09T06:52:38+00:00

When using 64K pages with a separate cpio rootfs, U-Boot will align
the rootfs on a 4K page boundary. When the memory is reserved, and
subsequent early memblock_alloc is called, it will allocate memory
between the 64K page alignment and reserved memory. When the reserved
memory is subsequently freed, it is done so by pages, causing the
early memblock_alloc requests to be re-used, which in my case, caused
the device-tree to be clobbered.

This patch forces the reserved memory for initrd to be kernel page
aligned, and will move the device tree if it overlaps with the range
extension of initrd. This patch will also consolidate the identical
function free_initrd_mem() from mm/init_32.c, init_64.c to mm/mem.c,
and adds the same range extension when freeing initrd. free_initrd_mem()
is also moved to the __init section.

Many thanks to Milton Miller for his input on this patch.

powerpc/book3e: Fix CPU feature handling on e5500 in 32-bit mode

2011-06-02T20:29:09+00:00

We are missing FPU feature bit that user space may require.  In the
64-bit mode this gets set since we pull it in via COMMON_USER_PPC64.  We
just explicitly set it so user space will be happy again.
