[PATCH] powerpc: Set cache info defaults

2005-12-09T04:42:52+00:00

Cache info is setup by walking the device tree in initialize_cache_info().
However, icache_flush_range might be called before that, in
slb_initialize()->patch_slb_encoding, which modifies the load immediate
instructions used with SLB fault code.

Not only that, but depending on memory layout, we might take SLB faults
during unflatten_device_tree. So that fault will load an SLB entry that
might not contain the right LLP flags for the segment.

Either we can walk the flattened device tree to setup cache info, or
we can pick the known defaults that are known to work. Doing it in the
flattened device tree is hairier since we need to know the machine type
to know what property to look for, etc, etc.

For now, it's just easier to go with the defaults. Worst thing that
happens from it is that we might waste a few cycles doing too small
dcbst/icbi increments.

[PATCH] powerpc: Export htab start/end via device tree

2005-11-14T05:34:06+00:00

The userspace kexec-tools need to know the location of the htab on non-lpar
machines, as well as the end of the kernel. Export via the device tree.

NB. This patch has been updated to use "linux,x" property names. You may
need to update your kexec-tools to match.

[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel

2005-11-11T11:25:39+00:00

This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.

Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.

I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

powerpc: Move some extern declarations from C code into headers

2005-11-10T04:53:40+00:00

This also make klimit have the same type on 32-bit as on 64-bit,
namely unsigned long, and defines and initializes it in one place.

[PATCH] powerpc: merge code values for identifying platforms

2005-11-10T02:37:51+00:00

This patch merges platform codes.  systemcfg->platform is no longer used,
systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed
_systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch),
_machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32.  Platform codes aren't gone
yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S
is also turned into C code.

powerpc: Simplify and clean up the xmon terminal I/O

2005-11-08T11:55:08+00:00

This factors out the common bits of arch/powerpc/xmon/start_*.c into
a new nonstdio.c, and removes some stuff that was supposed to make
xmon's I/O routines somewhat stdio-like but was never used.

It also makes the parsing of the xmon= command line option common,
so that ppc32 can now use xmon={off,on,early} also.

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix ppc32 initrd

2005-11-08T00:16:41+00:00

OK, the Fedora ppc32 and ppc64 kernels should both be arch/powerpc by
tomorrow. They're booting on G5, POWER5, and my powerbook. I'll test
pmac SMP and Pegasos later -- but pmac smp is known broken in arch/ppc
anyway, and I'll live with a potential Pegasos regression for now; it
wasn't supported officially in FC4 either.

I needed to fix ppc32 initrd -- we were never setting initrd_start.

[PATCH] powerpc: Kill ppcdebug

2005-11-07T01:37:45+00:00

The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
accomplished with a command line option for that purpose.  The other
was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.

This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.

Built and booted on iSeries and pSeries POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc).
