[PATCH] ppc64: Fix PER_LINUX32 behaviour

2005-06-08T23:24:15+00:00

This patch fixes some bugs in the ppc64 PER_LINUX32 implementation,
noted by Juergen Kreileder:

* uname(2) doesn't respect PER_LINUX32, it returns 'ppc64' instead of 'ppc'
* Child processes of a PER_LINUX32 process don't inherit PER_LINUX32

Along the way I took the opportunity to move things around so that
sys_ppc32.c only has 32-bit syscall emulation functions and to remove
the obsolete "fakeppc" command line option.

[PATCH] AGP fix for Xen VMM

2005-06-07T19:35:43+00:00

When Linux is running on the Xen virtual machine monitor, physical
addresses are virtualised and cannot be directly referenced by the AGP
GART.  This patch fixes the GART driver for Xen by adding a layer of
abstraction between physical addresses and 'GART addresses'.

Architecture-specific functions are also defined for allocating and freeing
the GATT.  Xen requires this to ensure that table really is contiguous from
the point of view of the GART.

These extra interface functions are defined as 'no-ops' for all existing
architectures that use the GART driver.

[PATCH] ppc64: cleanup iseries runlight support

2005-06-02T22:12:30+00:00

The iseries has a bar graph on the front panel that shows how busy it is.
The operating system sets and clears a bit in the CTRL register to control
it.

Instead of going to the complexity of using a thread info bit, just set and
clear it in the idle loop.

Also create two helper functions, ppc64_runlatch_on and ppc64_runlatch_off.

Finally don't use the short form of the SPR defines.

[PATCH] ppc64: cleanup SPR definitions

2005-06-02T22:12:30+00:00

There are a bunch of irrelevant SPR definitions in asm/processer.h.  Cut
them down a bit, also add a DABR_TRANSLATION define which will be used
shortly.

[PATCH] ppc32/ppc64: cleanup /proc/device-tree

2005-06-01T14:54:14+00:00

This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64.  It does the following things:

 - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
   exist with the same name as a child node of the parent.  We now
   simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
   /proc with random result...

 - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
   address is 0.  This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
   buggy and didn't always work anyway.

 - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
   node.  These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
   the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
   dentry and inode cache bloat.

This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

[PATCH] ppc64 iSeries: fix boot time setting

2005-05-25T17:13:43+00:00

For quite a while, there has existed a hypervisor bug on legacy iSeries
which means that we do not get the boot time set in the kernel.  This
patch works around that bug.  This was most noticable when the root
partition needed to be checked at every boot as the kernel thought it
was some time in 1905 until user mode reset the time correctly.

[PATCH] ppc64: global interrupt queue cleanup

2005-05-06T15:07:01+00:00

Move the code to set global interrupt queue membership to xics.c,
and remove no longer needed extern declarations.  Also call it on
all cpus (even the boot cpu) to prepare for kexec.

[PATCH] ppc64: pgtable.h and other header cleanups

2005-05-05T23:36:32+00:00

This patch started as simply removing a few never-used macros from
asm-ppc64/pgtable.h, then kind of grew.  It now makes a bunch of
cleanups to the ppc64 low-level header files (with corresponding
changes to .c files where necessary) such as:
	- Abolishing never-used macros
	- Eliminating multiple #defines with the same purpose
	- Removing pointless macros (cases where just expanding the
macro everywhere turns out clearer and more sensible)
	- Removing some cases where macros which could be defined in
terms of each other weren't
	- Moving imalloc() related definitions from pgtable.h to their
own header file (imalloc.h)
	- Re-arranging headers to group things more logically
	- Moving all VSID allocation related things to mmu.h, instead
of being split between mmu.h and mmu_context.h
	- Removing some reserved space for flags from the PMD - we're
not using it.
	- Fix some bugs which broke compile with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

[PATCH] asm/signal.h unification

2005-05-04T14:33:15+00:00

New file - asm-generic/signal.h.  Contains declarations of
__sighandler_t, __sigrestore_t, SIG_DFL, SIG_IGN, SIG_ERR and default
definitions of SIG_BLOCK, SIG_UNBLOCK and SIG_SETMASK.

asm-*/signal.h switched to including it.  The only exception is
asm-parisc/signal.h that wants its own declaration of __sighandler_t;
that one is left as-is.

asm-ppc64/signal.h required one more thing - unlike everybody else it
used __sigrestorer_t instead of usual __sigrestore_t.  PPC64 switched to
common spelling.

[PATCH] move SA_xxx defines to linux/signal.h

2005-05-01T15:59:02+00:00

The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,
SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to
linux/signal.h.  This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code
was consolidated.  The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are
still left per-arch.

Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this
patch does:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you
add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too.  So I think such
a clean-up makes sense.
