powerpc: converted embedded platforms to use new define_machine support

2006-03-31T05:39:57+00:00

Removed platform_init usage on 83xx and 85xx and use define_machine and
probe().  For now we always return true in the problem since you can only
build for one specific board at a time.  This is an artificial constraint.
When we get ride of it we will need to update the Kconfig's for these
sub-arch's and make the board's probe() functions actually do something.

[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.

powerpc: remove OCP references

2006-03-28T05:48:37+00:00

OCP isn't used in arch/powerpc and hopefully will never be.

powerpc: Unify the 32 and 64 bit idle loops

2006-03-27T04:03:03+00:00

This unifies the 32-bit (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and 64-bit idle
loops.  It brings over the concept of having a ppc_md.power_save
function from 32-bit to ARCH=powerpc, which lets us get rid of
native_idle().  With this we will also be able to simplify the idle
handling for pSeries and cell.

[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.

powerpc: Introduce a new config symbol to control 16550 early debug code

2006-01-10T05:19:05+00:00

The previous change by Kumar Gala in this area led to legacy_serial.c
and udbg_16550.c being built as modules when CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=m.
Fix this by introducing a new symbol, CONFIG_PPC_UDBG_16550, to
control whether these files get built, and arrange for it to be selected
for those platforms that need it.

[PATCH] powerpc: Call find_legacy_serial_ports() if we enable CONFIG_SERIAL_8250

2006-01-09T04:34:31+00:00

In setup_arch and setup_system call find_legacy_serial_ports() if we
build in support for 8250 serial ports instead of basing it on PPC_MULTIPLATFORM.

[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.
