* [PATCH] powerpc: fix large nvram accessArnd Bergmann2006-01-091-56/+50
| | | | | | | | | | /dev/nvram uses the user-provided read/write size for kmalloc, which fails, if a large number is passed. This will always use a single page at most, which can be expected to succeed. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] powerpc/cell: disable legacy i/o areaDavid Woodhouse2006-01-091-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | We currently crash in the fedora installer because the keyboard driver tries to access I/O space that is not there on our hardware.

* [PATCH] powerpc/cell: add iommu support for larger memoryJens.Osterkamp@de.ibm.com2006-01-091-49/+176
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far, the iommu code was hardwired to a linear mapping between 0x20000000 and 0x40000000, so it could only support 512MB of RAM. This patch still keeps the linear mapping, but looks for proper ibm,dma-window properties to set up larger windows, this makes the maximum supported RAM size 2GB. If there is anything unusual about the dma-window properties, we fall back to the old behavior. We also support switching off the iommu completely now with the regular iommu=off command line option.

* [PATCH] spufs: fix mailbox pollingArnd Bergmann2006-01-096-24/+95
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Handling mailbox interrupts was broken in multiple respects, the combination of which was hiding the bugs most of the time. - The ibox interrupt mask was open initially even though there are no waiters on a newly created SPU. - Acknowledging the mailbox interrupt did not work because it is level triggered and the mailbox data is never retrieved from inside the interrupt handler. - The interrupt handler delivered interrupts with a disabled mask if another interrupt is triggered for the same class but a different mask. - The poll function did not enable the interrupt if it had not been enabled, so we might run into the poll timeout if none of the other bugs saved us and no signal was delivered. We probably still have a similar problem with blocking read/write on mailbox files, but that will result in extra wakeup in the worst case, not in incorrect behaviour.

* [PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability [part 2].Arnd Bergmann2006-01-093-27/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reduces lock complexity of SPU scheduler, particularly for involuntary preemptive switches. As a result the new code does a better job of mapping the highest priority tasks to SPUs. Lock complexity is reduced by using the system default workqueue to perform involuntary saves. In this way we avoid nasty lock ordering problems that the previous code had. A "minimum timeslice" for SPU contexts is also introduced. The intent here is to avoid thrashing. While the new scheduler does a better job at prioritization it still does nothing for fairness.

* [PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability.Arnd Bergmann2006-01-097-121/+202
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes it easier to preempt an SPU context by having the scheduler hold ctx->state_sema for much shorter periods of time. As part of this restructuring, the control logic for the "run" operation is moved from arch/ppc64/kernel/spu_base.c to fs/spufs/file.c. Of course the base retains "bottom half" handlers for class{0,1} irqs. The new run loop will re-acquire an SPU if preempted.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Fixups for kernel linked at 32 MBMichael Ellerman2006-01-093-16/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a few places where we need to fix things up for the kernel to work if it's linked at 32MB: - platforms/powermac/smp.c To start secondary cpus on pmac we patch the reset vector, which is fine. Except if we're above 32MB we don't have enough bits for an absolute branch, it needs to relative. - kernel/head_64.s - A few branches in the cpu hold code need to load the full target address and do a bctr. - after_prom_start needs to load PHYSICAL_START as the dest address, not 0. - The exception prolog needs to load the low word of the target adddress, not just the low halfword. - Fixup handling of the initial stab address. - kernel/setup_64.c smp_release_cpus() needs to write 1 to the spinloop flag near 0, not 32 MB.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries. This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1 gazillion for 64-bit. To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET, _not_ KERNELBASE. KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_. If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel you should subtract KERNELBASE.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Make hugepage mappings respect hint addressesDavid Gibson2006-01-091-4/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the powerpc version of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() entirely ignores the hint address. The only way to get a hugepage mapping at a specified address is with MAP_FIXED, in which case there's no way (short of parsing /proc/self/maps) for userspace to tell if it will clobber an existing mapping. This is inconvenient, so the patch below makes hugepage mappings use the given hint address if possible.
