This changes the cpu_idle loop for 44x platforms to utilize the Wait Enable feature of the CPU. This helps virtulization solutions know when the guest Linux kernel is in an idle state. A command line option called "idle" is also added to allow people to change the idle loop back to the original variation. This is done by setting "idle=spin" on the kernel command line.

Board specific defconfigs are useful, however with the ability to do multi-board defconfigs they aren't needed in the top level configs directory. Move the 4xx board specific defconfigs to individual directories under arch/powerpc/configs. Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

There is a potential bug in __lmb_alloc_base where we subtract `size' from the base address of a reserved region without checking whether the subtraction could wrap around and produce a very large unsigned value. In fact it probably isn't possible to hit the bug in practice since it would only occur in the situation where we can't satisfy the allocation request and there is a reserved region starting at 0. This fixes the potential bug by breaking out of the loop when we get to the point where the base of the reserved region is less than the size requested. This also restructures the loop to be a bit easier to follow. The same logic got copied into lmb_alloc_nid_unreserved, so this makes a similar change there. Here the bug is more likely to be hit because the outer loop (in lmb_alloc_nid) goes through the memory regions in increasing order rather than decreasing order as __lmb_alloc_base does, and we are therefore more likely to hit the case where we are testing against a reserved region with a base address of 0.

This makes no semantic changes. It fixes the whitespace and formatting a bit, gets rid of a local DBG macro and uses the equivalent pr_debug instead, and restructures one while loop that had a function call and assignment in the condition to be a bit more readable. Some comments about functions being called with relocation disabled were also removed as they would just be confusing to most readers now that the code is in lib/.

A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails. The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the allocator. It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer 'this_nid'. It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start', and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory assosciated with 'nid' ends. This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might not be working yet. This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted "careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers, it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.

The iSeries HV only needs the first two fields of the paca statically initialised, so create an alternate paca that contains only those and switch to our real paca immediately after boot. This is in order to make the 1024 cpu patches easier since they will no longer have to statically initialise the pacas for iSeries.

The mv643xx_eth driver is being modified to support multiple instances of the ethernet silicon block on the same platform. Each block contains a single register bank containing the registers for up to three ports interleaved within that bank. This patch updates the PowerPC OF to platform_device glue code to support multiple silicon blocks, each with up to three ethernet ports. The main difference is that we now allow multiple mv64x60_shared platform_devices to be registered and we provide each port platform_device with a pointer to its associated shared platform_device. The pointer will not be used until the mv643xx_eth driver changes are committed.

If an SLB miss interrupt happens while the RI bit of MSR is zero, we can't just return, because RI being zero indicates that SRR0/SRR1 potentially had live values in them, and the process of taking an interrupt overwrites them. This should never happen, but if it does, we try to print a nice oops message. That doesn't work, however, because the code at unrecov_slb assumes that the MMU has been turned on, but we call it with the MMU off (and have done so since the SLB miss handler was rewritten to run without turning the MMU on) -- except on iSeries, where everything runs with the MMU on. This fixes it by adding the necessary code to turn the MMU on if necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The reason is that some architectures add the "-traditional" flag to the invocation of $(AS), which disables variadic macro argument support.

Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to an unsigned int. Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS interfaces use a one-byte device node number. But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this: pnp: PnP ACPI init kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. Call Trace: [<a000000100010720>] show_stack+0x40/0xa0 [<a0000001000107b0>] dump_stack+0x30/0x60 [<a0000001001dbdf0>] kobject_add+0x290/0x2c0 [<a0000001002bfd40>] device_add+0x160/0x860 [<a0000001002c0470>] device_register+0x30/0x60 [<a00000010026ba70>] __pnp_add_device+0x130/0x180 [<a00000010026bb70>] pnp_add_device+0xb0/0xe0 [<a0000001007f2730>] pnpacpi_add_device+0x510/0x5a0 [<a0000001007f2810>] pnpacpi_add_device_handler+0x50/0x80 This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem. It should not have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still enforced in the backends.

Explicitly handle this case by "canceling" the parity check, i.e. clear the STRIPE_OP_CHECK flags and queue the stripe on the handle list again to refresh any non-uptodate blocks.
