390cbb56a7 [POWERPC] Fix detection of loader-supplied initrd on OF platforms
Commit 79c8541924 introduced code to move
the initrd if it was in a place where it would get overwritten by the
kernel image.  Unfortunately this exposed the fact that the code that
checks whether the values passed in r3 and r4 are intended to indicate
the start address and size of an initrd image was not as thorough as the
kernel's checks.  The symptom is that on OF-based platforms, the
bootwrapper can cause an exception which causes the system to drop back
into OF.

Previously it didn't matter so much if the code incorrectly thought that
there was an initrd, since the values for start and size were just passed
through to the kernel.  Now the bootwrapper needs to apply the same checks
as the kernel since it is now using the initrd data itself (in the process
of copying it if necessary).  This adds the code to do that.

0727702a3a [POWERPC] ibmebus: change probe/remove interface from using loc-code to DT path
In some cases, multiple OFDT nodes might share the same location code, so
the location code is not a unique identifier for an OFDT node. Changed the
ibmebus probe/remove interface to use the DT path of the device node instead
of the location code.

The DT path must be written into probe/remove right as it would appear in
the "devspec" attribute of the ebus device: relative to the DT root, with a
leading slash and without a trailing slash. One trailing newline will not
hurt; multiple newlines will (like perl's chomp()).

Example:

 Add a device "/proc/device-tree/foo@12345678" to ibmebus like this:
    echo /foo@12345678 > /sys/bus/ibmebus/probe

 Remove the device like this:
    echo /foo@12345678 > /sys/bus/ibmebus/remove

370a908db1 [POWERPC] DEBUG_PAGEALLOC for 64-bit
Here's an implementation of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC for 64 bits powerpc.
It applies on top of the 32 bits patch.

Unlike Anton's previous attempt, I'm not using updatepp. I'm removing
the hash entries from the bolted mapping (using a map in RAM of all the
slots). Expensive but it doesn't really matter, does it ? :-)

Memory hot-added doesn't benefit from this unless it's added at an
address that is below end_of_DRAM() as calculated at boot time.

ee4f2ea486 [POWERPC] Fix 32-bit mm operations when not using BATs
On hash table based 32 bits powerpc's, the hash management code runs with
a big spinlock. It's thus important that it never causes itself a hash
fault. That code is generally safe (it does memory accesses in real mode
among other things) with the exception of the actual access to the code
itself. That is, the kernel text needs to be accessible without taking
a hash miss exceptions.

This is currently guaranteed by having a BAT register mapping part of the
linear mapping permanently, which includes the kernel text. But this is
not true if using the "nobats" kernel command line option (which can be
useful for debugging) and will not be true when using DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
implemented in a subsequent patch.

This patch fixes this by pre-faulting in the hash table pages that hit
the kernel text, and making sure we never evict such a page under hash
pressure.

a741e67969 [POWERPC] Make tlb flush batch use lazy MMU mode
The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we
lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs
after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash
entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems.

This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather
stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the
paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu
mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range
of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given
CPU before it drops that lock.

We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush.

Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and
disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is
always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen
and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching
is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will
use the batch for that flush.

721151d004 [POWERPC] Allow drivers to map individual 4k pages to userspace
Some drivers have resources that they want to be able to map into
userspace that are 4k in size.  On a kernel configured with 64k pages
we currently end up mapping the 4k we want plus another 60k of
physical address space, which could contain anything.  This can
introduce security problems, for example in the case of an infiniband
adaptor where the other 60k could contain registers that some other
program is using for its communications.

This patch adds a new function, remap_4k_pfn, which drivers can use to
map a single 4k page to userspace regardless of whether the kernel is
using a 4k or a 64k page size.  Like remap_pfn_range, it would
typically be called in a driver's mmap function.  It only maps a
single 4k page, which on a 64k page kernel appears replicated 16 times
throughout a 64k page.  On a 4k page kernel it reduces to a call to
remap_pfn_range.

The way this works on a 64k kernel is that a new bit, _PAGE_4K_PFN,
gets set on the linux PTE.  This alters the way that __hash_page_4K
computes the real address to put in the HPTE.  The RPN field of the
linux PTE becomes the 4k RPN directly rather than being interpreted as
a 64k RPN.  Since the RPN field is 32 bits, this means that physical
addresses being mapped with remap_4k_pfn have to be below 2^44,
i.e. 0x100000000000.

The patch also factors out the code in arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c
that deals with demoting a process to use 4k pages into one function
that gets called in the various different places where we need to do
that.  There were some discrepancies between exactly what was done in
the various places, such as a call to spu_flush_all_slbs in one case
but not in others.

- Issue the command "ntpd -g".
- Wait about two minutes.
- Verify ntpd's status via "ntpq -pn" and by looking in /var/log/ntp.

This fixes this problem by adjusting the expected clock frequency.

3af82a8b00 [POWERPC] Clean up zImage handling of the command line
This cleans up how the zImage code manipulates the kernel
command line.  Notable improvements from the old handling:
	- Command line manipulation is consolidated into a new
prep_cmdline() function, rather than being scattered across start()
and some helper functions
	- Less stack space use: we use just a single global command
line buffer, which can be initialized by an external tool as before,
we no longer need another command line sized buffer on the stack.
	- Easier to support platforms whose firmware passes a
commandline, but not a device tree.  Platform code can now point new
loader_info fields to the firmware's command line, rather than having
to do early manipulation of the /chosen bootargs property which may
then be rewritten again by the core.

27fbaa9702 [POWERPC] Add device tree utility functions to zImage
This patch adds a library of useful device tree manipulation functions
to the zImage library, for use by platform code.  These functions are
based on the hooks already in dt_ops, so they're not dependent on a
particular device tree implementation.  This patch also slightly
streamlines the code in main.c using these new functions.

This is a consolidation of my work in this area with Scott Wood's
patches to a very similar end.

3467bfd340 [POWERPC] Use mtocrf instruction in asm when CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY=y
mtocrf is a faster single-field mtcrf (move to condition register
fields) instruction available in POWER4 and later processors.  It can
make quite a difference in performance on some implementations, so use
it for CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY builds.

569975591c [POWERPC] DMA 4GB boundary protection
There are many adapters which cannot handle DMAing across any 4 GB
boundary.  For instance, the latest Emulex adapters.

This normally is not an issue as firmware gives dma-windows under
4gigs.  However, some of the new System-P boxes have dma-windows above
4gigs, and this present a problem.

During initialization of the IOMMU tables, the last entry at each 4GB
boundary is marked as used.  Thus no mappings can cross the boundary.
If a table ends at a 4GB boundary, the entry is not marked as used.

A boot option to remove this 4GB protection is given w/ protect4gb=off.
This exposes the potential issue for driver and hardware development
purposes.

eb0cb8a07e [POWERPC] Add a unified uevent handler for bus based on of_device
This common uevent handler allow the several bus types based on
of_device to generate the uevent properly and avoiding
code duplication.

This handlers take a struct device as argument and can therefore
be used as the uevent call directly if no special treatment is
needed for the bus.
