[PATCH] powerpc: Use check_legacy_ioport() on ppc32 too.

2006-04-28T11:04:55+00:00

Some people report that we die on some Macs when we are expecting to
catch machine checks after poking at some random I/O address. I'd seen
it happen on my dual G4 with serial ports until we fixed those to use
OF, but now other users are reporting it with i8042.

This expands the use of check_legacy_ioport() to avoid that situation
even on 32-bit kernels.

[PATCH] for_each_possible_cpu: powerpc

2006-03-29T02:44:15+00:00

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.  We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs.  This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.

We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.

This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers

2006-03-28T12:15:54+00:00

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

[PATCH] powerpc: Allow non zero boot cpuids

2006-03-27T03:48:48+00:00

We currently have a hack to flip the boot cpu and its secondary thread
to logical cpuid 0 and 1. This means the logical - physical mapping will
differ depending on which cpu is boot cpu. This is most apparent on
kexec, where we might kexec on any cpu and therefore change the mapping
from boot to boot.

The patch below does a first pass early on to work out the logical cpuid
of the boot thread. We then fix up some paca structures to match.

Ive also removed the boot_cpuid_phys variable for ppc64, to be
consistent we use get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid) everywhere.

[PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversions

2006-03-23T15:38:17+00:00

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all.  The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().

This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS.  I found very
few instances of this bug, if any.  But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

Input: pcspkr - separate device and driver registration

2006-03-14T05:11:50+00:00

The current pcspkr code combines the device and driver registration.
This patch splits these, putting the device registration in the arch
specific code.

PowerPC and MIPS only have the pcspkr present sometimes.

[PATCH] powerpc: Allow for ppc_md restart, power_off, and halt to be NULL

2006-01-14T00:12:23+00:00

On a number of embedded reference boards there isn't always a
way to reset, power_off, or halt the board.  Rather than having
each board implement a spin loop just let the generic code do
it.

[PATCH] powerpc: Add a is_kernel_addr() macro

2006-01-09T03:51:50+00:00

There's a bunch of code that compares an address with KERNELBASE to see if
it's a "kernel address", ie. >= KERNELBASE. The proper test is actually to
compare with PAGE_OFFSET, since we're going to change KERNELBASE soon.

So replace all of them with an is_kernel_addr() macro that does that.

[PATCH] powerpc: serial port discovery (#2)

2006-01-09T03:49:50+00:00

This moves the discovery of legacy serial ports to a separate file,
makes it common to ppc32 and ppc64, and reworks it to use the new OF
address translators to get to the ports early. This new version can also
detect some PCI serial cards using legacy chips and will probably match
those discovered port with the default console choice.

Only ppc64 gets udbg still yet, unifying udbg isn't finished yet.

It also adds some speed-probing code to udbg so that the default console
can come up at the same speed it was set to by the firmware.
