[PATCH] powerpc: Remove device_node addrs/n_addr

2006-01-09T03:53:55+00:00

The pre-parsed addrs/n_addrs fields in struct device_node are finally
gone. Remove the dodgy heuristics that did that parsing at boot and
remove the fields themselves since we now have a good replacement with
the new OF parsing code. This patch also fixes a bunch of drivers to use
the new code instead, so that at least pmac32, pseries, iseries and g5
defconfigs build.

[PATCH] powerpc: Separate usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET

2006-01-09T03:51:54+00:00

This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't
looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on
PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries.

This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1
gazillion for 64-bit.

To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET,
_not_ KERNELBASE.

KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's
often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_.

If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel
you should subtract KERNELBASE.

[PATCH] powerpc: Unify udbg (#2)

2006-01-09T03:49:54+00:00

This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the
merged achitecture. xmon now has a single "back end". The powermac udbg
stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In
addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well,
approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations.
The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify
them in a later patch.

For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using
"btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg
output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a
later patch.

powerpc: Get 64-bit configs to compile with ARCH=powerpc

2005-10-10T12:50:37+00:00

This is a bunch of mostly small fixes that are needed to get
ARCH=powerpc to compile for 64-bit.  This adds setup_64.c from
arch/ppc64/kernel/setup.c and locks.c from arch/ppc64/lib/locks.c.

powerpc: Merge in the ppc64 version of the prom code.

2005-10-06T02:06:20+00:00

This brings in the ppc64 version of prom_init.c, prom.c and btext.c
and makes them work for ppc32.  This also brings in the new calling
convention, where the first entry to the kernel (with r5 != 0) goes
to the prom_init code, which then restarts from the beginning (with
r5 == 0) after it has done its stuff.

For now this also brings in the ppc32 version of setup.c.  It also
merges lmb.h.
