When we introduced VSX, we changed the way FPRs are stored in the thread_struct. Unfortunately we missed the load/store float double alignment handler code when updating how we access FPRs in the thread_struct. Below fixes this and merges the little/big endian case.

This patch reworks the hot_add_scn_to_nid and its supporting functions to make them easier to understand. There are no functional changes in this patch and has been tested on machine with memory represented in the device tree as memory nodes and in the ibm,dynamic-memory property. My previous patch that introduced support for hotplug memory add on systems whose memory was represented by the ibm,dynamic-memory property of the device tree only left the code more unintelligible. This will hopefully makes things easier to understand. Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

While testing partition migration with heavy CPU load using shared processors, it was observed that sometimes the migration would never complete and would appear to hang. Currently, the migration code assumes that if H_SUCCESS is returned from the H_JOIN then the migration is complete and the processor is waking up on the target system. If there was an outstanding PROD to the processor when the H_JOIN is called, however, it will return H_SUCCESS on the source system, causing the migration to hang, or in some scenarios cause the kernel to crash on the complete call waking the caller of rtas_percpu_suspend_me. Fix this by calling H_JOIN multiple times if necessary during the migration. Signed-off-by: Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

There are hardware limitations on the number of available MSIs, which firmware expresses using a property named "ibm,pe-total-#msi". This property tells us how many MSIs are available for devices below the point in the PCI tree where we find the property. For old firmwares which don't have the property, we assume there are 8 MSIs available per "partitionable endpoint" (PE). The PE can be found using existing EEH code, which uses the methods described in PAPR. For our purposes we want the parent of the node that's identified using this method. When a driver requests n MSIs for a device, we first establish where the "ibm,pe-total-#msi" property above that device is, or we find the PE if the property is not found. In both cases we call this node the "pe_dn". We then count all non-bridge devices below the pe_dn, to establish how many devices in total may need MSIs. The quota is then simply the total available divided by the number of devices, if the request is less than or equal to the quota, the request is fine and we're done. If the request is greater than the quota, we try to determine if there are any "spare" MSIs which we can give to this device. Spare MSIs are found by looking for other devices which can never use their full quota, because their "req#msi(-x)" property is less than the quota. If we find any spare, we divide the spares by the number of devices that could request more than their quota. This ensures the spare MSIs are spread evenly amongst all over-quota requestors.

If a driver asks for more MSIs than the devices "req#msi(-x)" property, we currently return -ENOSPC. This doesn't give the driver any chance to make a new request with a number that might work. So if "req#msi(-x)" is less than the request, return its value. To be 100% safe, make sure we return an error if req_msi == 0.

cbe_cpufreq has a partial dependency on cbe_cpufreq_pmi, which cannot be easily expressed in Kconfig. This fixes it by introducing an extra Kconfig symbol CBE_CPUFREQ_PMI_ENABLE. To make the dependency clearer, turn PPC_PMI into an automatic symbol.

Currently, spu_handle_mm_fault disregards the 'ret' variable and always returns -EFAULT on error. This change refactos spu_handle_mm_fault a little, to return the ret variable as appropriate. This allows us to combine the error and sucess paths. Also, remove the #if-0-ed IS_VALID_EA() check, it has never been used.

At the moment we size the hashtable based on 4kB pages / 2, even on a 64kB kernel. This results in a hashtable that is much larger than it needs to be.

Old OF variants used to create a 'dummy' parent node "multifunc-device" for devices with more than one PCI function. Our code that matches OF nodes to PCI devices dealt with that in one place but not in another, this fixes it. This has the practical effect of fixing interrupt routing of multifunction PCI cards on some older PowerMac machines.

Create a new header that becomes a single location for defining PowerPC opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about. We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already have. Added support for the new dcbzl, dcbal, msgsnd, tlbilx, & wait instructions since older assemblers don't know about them.

Impact: clean up, remove duplicate code When ftrace was first ported to PowerPC, there existed a create_function_call that would create the instruction to make a call to a given address. Unfortunately, this call expected to write to the address it was given, and since it used the address to calculate the offset, it could not be faked. ftrace needed a way to create the instruction without actually writing that instruction to the text section. So ftrace had to implement its own code. Now we have create_branch in the code patching library, which does exactly what ftrace needs. This patch replaces ftrace's implementation with the library function. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The original port of ftrace to PowerPC kept a lot of the code used by x86. Some of this code was to handle x86's 5 byte instruction. This was handled by using character arrays to manipulate the code. PowerPC has a consistent 4 byte instruction. Using unsigned ints makes the code more efficient as well as more readable. By converting to use unsigned ints to represent instructions, I was able to remove the side effects that were needed for manipulating character strings. i.e. memcpy and memcmp Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The TOCS used by modules are different than the one used by the core kernel code. The function graph tracer must save and restore the TOC whenever it traces a module call. But this is an added overhead to burden the majority of core kernel code being traced. Benjamin Herrenschmidt suggested in testing the entry of the call to tell if it is a core kernel function or a module. He recommended using the REGION_ID() macro to perform this test. This patch implements Benjamin's idea, and uses a different return_to_handler routine dependent on if the entry is a core kernel function or not. The module version saves the TOC, where as the core kernel version does not. Geoff Lavand tested on PS3.

If a USB PCI controller is behind a cardbus bridge, we are trying to restore its configuration registers too early, before the cardbus bridge is operational. To fix this, call pci_restore_state() from usb_hcd_pci_resume() and remove usb_hcd_pci_resume_early() which is no longer necessary (the configuration spaces of USB controllers that are not behind cardbus bridges will be restored by the PCI PM core with interrupts disabled anyway). This patch fixes the regression from 2.6.28 tracked as http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12659 [ Side note: the proper long-term fix is probably to just force the unplug event at suspend time instead of doing a plug/unplug at resume time, but this patch is fine regardless - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
