[POWERPC] Fix return value from memcpy

2006-08-31T03:22:58+00:00

As pointed out by Herbert Xu , our
memcpy implementation didn't return the destination pointer as its
return value, and there is code in the kernel that expects that.
This fixes it.

[PATCH] remove powerpc bitops in favor of existing generic bitops

2006-05-24T06:08:58+00:00

There already exists a big endian safe bitops implementation in
lib/find_next_bit.c.  The code in it is 90%+ common with the powerpc
specific version, so the powerpc version is redundant.  This patch
makes the necessary changes to use the generic bitops in powerpc, and
removes the powerpc specific version.

[PATCH] powerpc: trivial: modify comments to refer to new location of files

2006-02-10T05:53:51+00:00

This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files
in the now defunct arch/ppc64 tree.  I think this accomplises
everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed.

[PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACA

2006-01-13T10:17:39+00:00

At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries
hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level
per-cpu structure.  This doesn't have to be so, the patch below
removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures.

This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel
memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and
hypervisor portions of every PACA.  On the other hand it means an
extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.

The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca
address to a local variable for no particular reason.

powerpc: Fix find_next_bit on 32-bit

2005-11-10T01:01:41+00:00

We had a "64" that didn't get changed to BITS_PER_LONG, resulting
in find_next_bit not working correctly.
