The initial TLB mapping for the kernel boot didn't set the memory coherent attribute, MAS2[M], in SMP mode. If this code supported booting a secondary processor, which it doesn't yet, but if it did, then when a secondary processor boots, it would probably signal the primary processor by setting a variable called something like __secondary_hold_acknowledge. However, due to the lack of the M bit, the primary processor would not snoop the transaction (even if a transaction were broadcast). If primary CPU's L1 D-cache had a copy, it would not be flushed and the CPU would never see the ack. Which would have resulted in the primary CPU spinning for a long time, perhaps a full second before it gives up, while it would have waited for the ack from the secondary CPU that it wouldn't have been able to see because of the stale cache. The value of MAS2 for the boot page TLB1 entry is a compile time constant, so there is no need to calculate it in powerpc assembly language. Also, from the MPC8572 manual section 6.12.5.3, "Bits that represent offsets within a page are ignored and should be cleared." Existing code didn't clear them, this code does. The same when the page of KERNELBASE is found; we don't need to use asm to mask the lower 12 bits off. In the code that computes the address to rfi from, don't hard code the offset to 24 bytes, but have the assembler figure that out for us.

This patch add the handlers of SPE/EFP exceptions. The code is used to emulate float point arithmetic, when MSR(SPE) is enabled and receive EFP data interrupt or EFP round interrupt. This patch has no conflict with or dependence on FP math-emu. The code has been tested by TestFloat. Now the code doesn't support SPE/EFP instructions emulation (it won't be called when receive program interrupt), but it could be easily added.

PowerPC float point division emulation is derived from gcc. I reported this problem on gcc maillist and got this reply: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-03/msg00543.html Since UDIV_NEEDS_NORMALIZATION is not used by kernel, we should use _FP_DIV_MEAT_1_udiv_norm to make sure the single float point is normalized before udiv_qrnnd.

The test to check for a new winsize runs out-of-sync with the underlying tty. After a tty has been released and initialized again, the winsize might differ between the tty and the hp struct. The solution is to simply remove the check and always schedule the resize work.

of_node_put is needed before discarding a value received from of_find_node_by_name, e.g., in error handling code or when the device node is no longer used.

This adds a new function, of_get_gpio_flags, which is like of_get_gpio(), but accepts a new "flags" argument. This new function will be used by the drivers that need to retrieve additional GPIO information, such as active-low flag. Also, this changes the default ("simple") .xlate routine to warn about bogus (< 2) #gpio-cells usage: the second cell should always be present for GPIO flags.

This adds support for multiple BSR nodes in the OF device tree. Previously, the BSR driver only supported a single OF node describing a BSR. Apparently when an LPAR is set to use "all system resources" the BSR appears as a single node, but when it is handed out in pieces, each 8 byte piece gets its own node. So, this keeps a list of BSR devices instead of the array and includes all nodes. Also, this makes the code be more inclusive of what BSR devices we accept by only checking compatibility and not the device name property (which might change in the future versions of BSR).

As noted by Akinobu Mita in commit b1fceac2 ("x86: remove unnecessary memset and NULL check after alloc_bootmem()"), alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these functions is unnecessary. This was fixed using the following semantic patch. (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression E; statement S; @@ E = \(alloc_bootmem\|alloc_bootmem_low\|alloc_bootmem_pages\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages\|alloc_bootmem_node\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node\|alloc_bootmem_pages_node\)(...) ... when != E ( - BUG_ON (E == NULL); | - if (E == NULL) S ) @@ expression E,E1; @@ E = \(alloc_bootmem\|alloc_bootmem_low\|alloc_bootmem_pages\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages\|alloc_bootmem_node\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node\|alloc_bootmem_pages_node\)(...) ... when != E - memset(E,0,E1); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

We need to swap these out once we start using swiotlb, so add them to dma_ops. Create CONFIG_PPC_NEED_DMA_SYNC_OPS Kconfig option; this is currently enabled automatically if we're CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE. In the future, this will also be enabled for builds that need swiotlb. If PPC_NEED_DMA_SYNC_OPS is not defined, the dma_sync_*_for_* ops compile to nothing. Otherwise, they access the dma_ops pointers for the sync ops. This patch also changes dma_sync_single_range_* to actually sync the range - previously it was using a generous dma_sync_single. dma_sync_single_* is now implemented as a dma_sync_single_range with an offset of 0.

On my screen, when something crashes, I only have space for maybe 16 functions of the stack trace before the information above it scrolls off the screen. It's easy to hack the kernel to print out only that much, but it's harder to remember to do it. This introduces a config option for it so that I can keep the setting in my config.

The tlb invalidates in kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic can be called from IRQ context, however they are only local invalidates (on the processor that the kmap was called on). In the future we want to use IPIs to do tlb invalidates this causes issue since flush_tlb_page() is considered a broadcast invalidate. Add local_flush_tlb_page() as a non-broadcast invalidate and use it in kmap_atomic() since we don't have enough information in the flush_tlb_page() call to determine its local.

Count the insertion of new pages in the statistics used to drive the pageout scanning code. This should help the kernel quickly evict streaming file IO. We count on the fact that new file pages start on the inactive file LRU and new anonymous pages start on the active anon list. This means streaming file IO will increment the recent scanned file statistic, while leaving the recent rotated file statistic alone, driving pageout scanning to the file LRUs. Pageout activity does its own list manipulation.

Devices which share the same queue, like floppies and mtd devices, get registered multiple times in the bdi interface, but bdi accounts only the last registered device of the devices sharing one queue. On remove, all earlier registered devices leak, stay around in sysfs, and cause "duplicate filename" errors if the devices are re-created. This prevents the creation of multiple bdi interfaces per queue, and the bdi device will carry the dev_t name of the block device which is the first one registered, of the pool of devices using the same queue.
