19242b2407 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix 64k pages on non-partitioned machines
The page size encoding passed to tlbie is incorrect for new-style
large pages.  This fixes it.  This doesn't affect anything on older
machines because mmu_psize_defs[psize].penc (the page size encoding)
is 0 for 4k and 16M pages (the two are distinguished by a separate "is
a large page" bit).

133dda1e4f [PATCH] powerpc: Fix cell blade detection
The IBM Cell blade firmware might confuse the kernel to think it's a
pSeries machine. This fixes it for now. With a bit of luck, the firmware
will be updated to avoid that in the future but currently that patch is

The code in prom_init.c calling the firmware

5a47d749e3 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix boot on eMac
From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Prevent calling of some platform functions on the clock chips of the eMac
as it seems to cause it to lockup at boot.  For now, add a quirk to prevent
that from happening.  Later, I might find out what's wrong and fix it but
that doesn't seem to be important as the machine appear to work fine
without running those.  It's possible that Darwin doesn't run them.

0fba3a1f39 [PATCH] PowerMac: force only suspend-to-disk to be valid
For a very long time, echoing 'standby' or 'mem' into /sys/power/state has
killed the machine on powerpc.  This patch fixes that.

This patch adds the .valid callback to pm_ops on PowerMac so that only the
suspend to disk state can be entered.  Note that just returning 0 would
suffice since the upper layers don't pass PM_SUSPEND_DISK down, but we
handle it there regardless just in case that changes.

cb6b2eb9bc [PATCH] Fix pSeries identification in prom_init.c
The OF trampoline code prom_init.c still needs to identify IBM pSeries
(PAPR) machines in order to run some platform specific code on them like
instanciating the TCE tables. The code doing that detection was changed
recently in 2.6.17 early stages but was done slightly incorrectly. It
should be testing for an exact match of "chrp" and it currently tests
for anything that begins with "chrp". That means it will incorrectly
match with platforms using Maple-like device-trees and have open
firmware. This fixes it by using strcmp instead of strncmp to match what
the actual platform detection code does.

We currently single-step inline if the instruction on which a kprobe is

- variants (such as tdnei, used by BUG()) typically evaluate a condition
  and cause a trap only if the condition is satisfied.
- kprobes uses the unconditional "trap" (0x7fe00008) and single-stepping
  again on this instruction, resulting in another trap without
  evaluating the condition is obviously incorrect.

054d8ff377 [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: avoid crash in PCI code if mem system not up

patch will cause the system to punt instead of crashing with

We need to have a mem_map for high addresses in order to make fops->no_page

f10a04c034 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings.  Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation.  With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse.  Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.

The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages.  Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.

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.

183b73ae7c [PATCH] spufs: fix context-switch decrementer code
We found that when the 'decrementer' is saved, the PPE saves the current
time 'csa->suspend_time'. When restoring the 'decrementer', (Step 34)
decrementer seems to be adjusted with the number of cycles th= at a spu
thread has not been running.

In that code it is missing a substract ('-') because 'delta_time' is
assigned a not substracted(see bellow).

f48b8296b3 [PATCH] powerpc32: Set cpu explicitly in kernel compiles
Compile the 32bit kernel with -mcpu=powerpc. This reduces the imagesize
when a compiler is used that defaults to -mtune=power4. It inserts lots
of nops to please the 64bit cpu instruction scheduling. But all these nops
are not needed for 32bit kernels.

Example with SLES10 gcc 4.1.0 and arch/powerpc/configs/pmac32_defconfig:

                    vmlinux  vmlinux.strip  vmlinux.gz
 -O2                4980515     4187528      1846829
 -Os                4618801     3827084      1673333
 -O2 -mcpu=powerpc  4738851     3945868      1816253
 -Os -mcpu=powerpc  4532785     3741068      1664688

b055a9e10f [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: bugfix: balance calls to pci_device_put
Repeated calls to eeh_remove_device() can result in multiple
(and thus unbalanced) calls to pci_dev_put(). Make sure the
pci_device_put() is called only once (since there was only
one call to the matching pci_device_get()).

6f806ceed5 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix machine detection in prom_init.c
In e8222502ee the detection of machine types
in prom_init broke for some machines. We should be checking /device_type
instead of /model. This should make Power3 and Power4 boot again. Haven't
been able to test this.  We also need to relocate before comparing.

ddafddcfc7 [PATCH] powerpc: Ensure runlatch is off in the idle loop

to ensure its set off again in the idle loop. At the moment we dont turn
it off in the inner loop.

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.
