[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it

2006-07-03T11:36:01+00:00

This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one.  Because
there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value
of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus),
etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code
over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later
in bisecting).

This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt
tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber
interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the
new code now.

For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is
created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt
presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match
any device node that isn't a 8259.  That works fine on pSeries and
avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source
controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees.

The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt
range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node
(including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help
porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't
have a proper interrupt tree.

[POWERPC] Fix various offb and BootX-related issues

2006-07-03T07:19:48+00:00

This patch fixes various issues with offb (the default fbdev used on
powerpc when no proper fbdev is supported). It was broken when using
BootX under some circumstances and would fail to properly get the
framebuffer base address in others.

[PATCH] node hotplug: register cpu: remove node struct

2006-06-28T00:32:37+00:00

With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime.  I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.

I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.

In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add.  But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu().  When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.

This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.

This removes node arguments from register_cpu().

Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument.  But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch).  We can get struct node in generic way.  So, this argument is not
necessary now.

This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined.  It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs.  cpu-hot-add patch following this.

Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument.  This patch removes it.

Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

[PATCH] powerpc: Parse early parameters earlier

2006-05-19T05:02:13+00:00

Currently we have call parse_early_param() earliyish, but not really very
early. In particular, it's not early enough to do things like mem=x or
crashkernel=blah, which is annoying.

So do it earlier. I've checked all the early param handlers, and none of them
look like they should have any trouble with this. I haven't tested the
booke_wdt ones though.

On 32-bit we were doing the CONFIG_CMDLINE logic twice, so don't.

[PATCH] powerpc: Make early xmon logic immune to location of early parsing

2006-05-19T05:02:12+00:00

Currently early_xmon() calls directly into debugger() if xmon=early is passed.
This ties the invocation of early xmon to the location of parse_early_param(),
which might change.

Tested on P5 LPAR and F50.

powerpc: provide ppc_md.panic() for both ppc32 & ppc64

2006-05-05T05:02:08+00:00

Allow boards to provide a panic callback on ppc32.  Moved the code to sets
this up into setup-common.c so its shared between ppc32 & ppc64.  Also moved
do_init_bootmem prototype into setup.h.

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.
