7568cb4ef6 powerpc: Move most remaining ppc64 files over to arch/powerpc
Also deletes files in arch/ppc64 that are no longer used now that
we don't compile with ARCH=ppc64 any more.

3136254ca5 [PATCH] powerpc: kill ppc64 rtc.c, use genrtc instead
This moves the rtas RTC callbacks to rtas-rtc.c in arch/powerpc/kernel,
and kills the rest of arch/ppc64/kernel/rtc.c which was just a duplicate
of the genrtc functionality. Also enable build of genrtc for
CONFIG_PPC64 (it just works are we already have the required callbacks)
and enable it in all defconfigs.

The userspace kexec-tools need to know the location of the htab on non-lpar

c5e24354ef [PATCH] powerpc: Turn cpu_irq_down into kexec_cpu_down
We currently have a ppc_md member called cpu_irq_down, which disables IRQs
for the cpu in question. The only caller of cpu_irq_down is the kexec code.

On pSeries we need to do more than just teardown IRQs at kexec time, so rename
the ppc_md member to kexec_cpu_down and expand it. The pSeries code needs to
know, and other platforms might too, whether we're doing a crash shutdown (ie.
panicking) or a regular kexec, so add a flag for that.

The pSeries implementation of kexec_cpu_down does an unregister VPA call, which
tells the Hypervisor to stop writing stuff into our pacas. Without this we can
get weird memory corruption bugs when we kexec, caused by the Hypervisor
writing into the first kernel's pacas which happens to be somewhere interesting
in the second kernel's memory.

a7f290dad3 [PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.

Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.

I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

35cd8785de [PATCH] powerpc: Move udbg code to arch/powerpc
Since the udbg code in ppc64 has no ppc32 equivalent, move it straight
over into arch/powerpc (and include/asm-powerpc for udbg.h).  In time,
we probably want to meld the various bits and pieces of 32-bit early
debugging code into udbg, but for now only include it on
CONFIG_PPC64=y builds.  The only change during the move is to
standardise the protecting #ifdef/#define in udbg.h, and move its
banner comment above the initial #ifdef (which seems to be normal
practice).

Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).  Built
for 32bit multiplatform (ARCH=powerpc).

45fb6cea09 [PATCH] ppc64: Convert NUMA to sparsemem (3)
Convert to sparsemem and remove all the discontigmem code in the
process. This has a few advantages:

- The old numa_memory_lookup_table can go away
- All the arch specific discontigmem magic can go away

We also remove the triple pass of memory properties and instead create a
list of per node extents that we iterate through. A final cleanup would
be to change our lmb code to store extents per node, then we can reuse
that information in the numa code.

0f34f49029 [PATCH] ppc64: fix PCI IO mapping
phbs_remap_io(), which maps the PCI IO space into the kernel virtual space,
is called too early on powermac, and thus doesn't work.

This fixes it by removing the call from all platforms and putting it back
into the ppc64 common code where it belongs, after the actual probing of
the bus.

That means that before that call, only the ISA IO space (if any) is mapped,
any PIO access (from quirks for example) will fail. This happens not to be
a problem for now, but we'll have to rework that code if it becomes one in
the future.

In the current 2.6.14-rc2-git6 kernel, performing a Dynamic LPAR Add

The root cause was that __init __alloc_bootmem() was called long after

One an EEH event is triggers, all further I/O to a device is blocked (until

64c7c8f885 [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle rework
Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid.  Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.

* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
  and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
  atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
  when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
  protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.

- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
  won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.

- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
  TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.

- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
  after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.

Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.

* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
  becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
  (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.

- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
  to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
  assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
  held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
  to the idle thread.

- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
  most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
  set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
  a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.

  Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
  can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
  the idle task.

  POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

5bfb5d690f [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks
Run idle threads with preempt disabled.

Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?

Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.

We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.

After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.

By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

as an example, this should keep the MAX_ORDER block size at 16MB.

183d020258 [PATCH] ppc64: SMU partition recovery
This patch adds the ability to the SMU driver to recover missing
calibration partitions from the SMU chip itself. It also adds some
dynamic mecanism to /proc/device-tree so that new properties are visible
to userland.

991a51d83a [PATCH] Kprobes: Use RCU for (un)register synchronization - arch changes
Changes to the arch kprobes infrastructure to take advantage of the locking
changes introduced by usage of RCU for synchronization.  All handlers are now
run without any locks held, so they have to be re-entrant or provide their own
synchronization.

66ff2d0691 [PATCH] Kprobes: rearrange preempt_disable/enable() calls
The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability.  We
currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution
using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock.

With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held.  It also
allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as
we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis.  It is now necessary
that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on
multiple processors.

All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64
has been compile tested only.

The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks:

patch 1: 	Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls
patches 2-7: 	Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution
patches 8-9: 	Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler
		execution.

Thanks to Maneesh Soni, James Keniston and Anil Keshavamurthy for their
review and suggestions. Thanks again to Anil, Hien Nguyen and Kevin Stafford
for testing the patches.

This patch:

Reorder preempt_disable/enable() calls in arch kprobes files in preparation to
introduce locking changes.  No functional changes introduced by this patch.

c8e3c8b21b [PATCH] ppc64: Fix zImage boot
The zImage wrapper has a bug where it doesn't claim() the memory for the
kernel properly, it forgets to take into account the offset between the ELF
header and the kernel itself.  This results on some machines, like G5s,
into a kernel that crashes at boot when clearing the BSS.
