[PATCH] ppc32: set smp_tb_synchronized on UP with SMP kernel

2005-12-12T03:26:39+00:00

ppc32 kernel, when built with CONFIG_SMP and booted on a single CPU
machine, will not properly set smp_tb_synchronized, thus causing
gettimeofday() to not use the HW timebase and to be limited to jiffy
resolution.  This, among others, causes unacceptable pauses when launching
X.org.

[PATCH] ppc: fix floating point register corruption

2005-11-30T03:47:03+00:00

I recently discovered a bug on PPC which causes the floating point
registers to get corrupted when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

The problem occurred while running a multi threaded Java application that
does floating point.  The problem could be reproduced in anywhere from 2 to
6 hours.  With the patch I have included below it ran for over a week
without failure.

[PATCH] powerpc: merge align.c

2005-11-18T03:39:23+00:00

This patch merges align.c, the result isn't quite what was in ppc64 nor
what was in ppc32 :) It should implement all the functionalities of both
though. Kumar, since you played with that in the past, I suppose you
have some test cases for verifying that it works properly before I dig
out the 601 machine ? :)

Since it's likely that I won't be able to test all scenario, code
inspection is much welcome.

[PATCH] ppc: Fix boot with yaboot with ARCH=ppc

2005-11-16T02:51:58+00:00

The merge of machine types broke boot with yaboot & ARCH=ppc due to the
old code still retreiving the old-syle machine type passed in by yaboot.
This patch fixes it by translating those old numbers. Since that whole
mecanism is deprecated, this is a temporary fix until ARCH=ppc uses the
new prom_init that the merged architecture now uses for both ppc32 and
ppc64 (after 2.6.15)

powerpc: Fix some compile problems with the VDSO stuff

2005-11-11T12:04:40+00:00

We needed the VDSO symbols in the arch/ppc asm-offsets.c, and there
were a few usages of _systemcfg still left lying around.

[PATCH] PCI: NCR 53c810 quirk

2005-11-11T00:09:16+00:00

Move the PPC fixup for old NCR 810 controllers to generic quirks -
it's needed for Alpha, x86 and other architectures that use
setup-bus.c.

Thanks to Jay Estabrook for pointing out the issue.
