953039c8df [PATCH] powerpc: Allow devices to register with numa topology
Change of_node_to_nid() to traverse the device tree, looking for a numa id.
Cell uses this to assign ids to SPUs, which are children of the CPU node.
Existing users of of_node_to_nid() are altered to use of_node_to_nid_single(),
which doesn't do the traversal.

Export an attach_sysdev_to_node() function, allowing system devices (eg.
SPUs) to link themselves into the numa topology in sysfs.

1269277a5e [PATCH] powerpc: Use check_legacy_ioport() on ppc32 too.
Some people report that we die on some Macs when we are expecting to
catch machine checks after poking at some random I/O address. I'd seen
it happen on my dual G4 with serial ports until we fixed those to use
OF, but now other users are reporting it with i8042.

This expands the use of check_legacy_ioport() to avoid that situation

f749edae5e [PATCH] powerpc64: Fix loading of modules without a .toc section
Normally, ppc64 module .ko files contain a table-of-contents (.toc)
section, but if the module doesn't reference any static or external
data or external procedures, it is possible for gcc/binutils to
generate a .ko that doesn't have a .toc.  Currently the module
loader refuses to load such a module, since it needs the address
of the .toc section to use in relocations.

This patch fixes the problem by using the address of the .stubs
section instead, which is an acceptable substitute in this situation.

2889773131 [PATCH] powerpc: Lower threshold for DART enablement to 1GB
Turn on the DART already at 1GB. This is needed because of crippled
devices in some systems, i.e. Airport Extreme cards, only supporting
30-bit DMA addresses.

Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually
enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good.

Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of
enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O
as well as over NFS).

iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the
overhead (and don't need it for any devices).

f39224a8c1 powerpc: Use correct sequence for putting CPU into nap mode
We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into
nap mode.  When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus
started hanging when we put them into nap mode.  Changing to the
recommended sequence fixes that.

The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that
keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode.  Clearly we need some way
to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt,
decrementer, performance monitor) occurs.  Here we use a bit in
the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception
entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return
to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop.
We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can
alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence.

The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing
there too.

This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on
32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to
get trashed.

70524490ee [PATCH] splice: add support for sys_tee()
Basically an in-kernel implementation of tee, which uses splice and the
pipe buffers as an intelligent way to pass data around by reference.

Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and
file output, this syscall merely duplicates the data inside a pipe to
another pipe. No data is copied, the output just grabs a reference to the
input pipe data.

856d08ec46 [PATCH] powerpc: iSeries needs slb_initialize to be called
Since the powerpc 64k pages patch went in, systems that have SLBs
(like Power4 iSeries) needed to have slb_initialize called to set up
some variables for the SLB miss handler.  This was not being called
on the boot processor on iSeries, so on single cpu iSeries machines,
we would get apparent memory curruption as soon as we entered user mode.

This patch fixes that by calling slb_initialize on the boot cpu if the
processor has an SLB.

34422fed65 [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: misc lparcfg fixes
This fixes several problems with the lparcfg code.  In case
someone gets a sense of deja-vu, part of this was submitted last Sep, I
thought the changes went in, but either got backed out, or just got
lost.

First, change the local_buffer declaration to be unsigned char *.  We
had a bad-math problem in a 2.4 tree which was built with a
"-fsigned-char" parm.  I dont believe we ever build with that parm
now-a-days, but to be safe, I'd prefer the declaration be explicit.

Second, fix a bad math calculation for splpar_strlen.

Third, on the rtas_call for get-system-parameter, pass in
RTAS_DATA_BUF_SIZE for the rtas_data_buf size, instead of letting random
data determine the size.   Until recently, we've had a sufficiently
large 'random data' value get passed in, so the function just happens to
have worked OK.   Now it's getting passed a '0', which causes the
rtas_call to return success, but no data shows up in the buffer.
(oops!).   This was found by the LTC test org.

This is in a branch of code that only gets run on SPLPAR systems.
Tested on power5 Lpar.

9b41046cd0 [PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]
The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and
parse_args(,unknown_bootoption).

And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().

	start_kernel()
		-> parse_args()
			-> unknown_bootoption()
				-> obsolete_checksetup()

If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
handled.

If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
->setup_func().  If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
a parameter is seted to argv_init[].

Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.

This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

_machine.

9fe901d124 [PATCH] powerpc: Workaround for pSeries RTAS bug
A bug in the RTAS services incorrectly interprets some bits in the CR
when called from the OS.  Specifically, bits in CR4.  The result could
be a firmware crash that also takes down the partition.  A firmware
fix is in the works.  We have seen this situation when performing DLPAR
operations.  As a temporary workaround, clear the CR in enter_rtas().
Note that enter_rtas() will not set any bits in CR4 before calling RTAS.

Also note that the 32 bit version of enter_rtas() should have the same
work around even though the chances of hitting the bug are much smaller
due to the lack of DLPAR on 32 bit kernels.  However, my assembly skills
are a bit rusty and the 32 bit code doesn't seem to follow the conventions
for where things should be saved.  In addition, I don't have a system
to test 32 bit kernels.  Help creating and at least touch testing the
same workaround for 32 bit would be appreciated.

11089f08d9 [PATCH] powerpc: fix incorrect SA_ONSTACK behaviour for 64-bit processes
*) When setting a sighandler using sigaction() call, if the flag
SA_ONSTACK is set and no alternate stack is provided via sigaltstack(),
the kernel still try to install the alternate stack. This behavior is
the opposite of the one which is documented in Single Unix
Specifications V3.

*) Also when setting an alternate stack using sigaltstack() with the
flag SS_DISABLE, the kernel try to install the alternate stack on
signal delivery.

These two use cases makes the process crash at signal delivery.

This fixes it.

d0160bf0b3 [PATCH] powerpc: Rename and export ppc64_firmware_features
We need to export ppc64_firmware_features for modules. Before we do that
I think we should probably rename it to powerpc_firmware_features.
