      powerpc: Explicit alignment for .data.cacheline_aligned · 0e337b42
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      I don't think anything guarantees that the objects in data.page_aligned
      are a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, thus the section may end on any boundary.
      
      So the following section, .data.cacheline_aligned needs an explicit
      alignment.

      powerpc/ftrace: Fix constraint to be early clobber · c3cf8667
      Steven Rostedt authored
      After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function
      graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes.
      
      The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for
      an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and
      reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had
      to be flagged as an "early clobber".
      
      I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

      powerpc/ftrace: Use pr_devel() in ftrace.c · 021376a3
      Michael Ellerman authored
      pr_debug() can now result in code being generated even when #DEBUG
      is not defined. That's not really desirable in the ftrace code
      which we want to be snappy.
      
      With CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y:

      powerpc: Do not assert pte_locked for hugepage PTE entries · af3e4aca
      Mel Gorman authored
      With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, an assertion is made when changing the protection
      flags of a PTE that the PTE is locked. Huge pages use a different pagetable
      format and the assertion is bogus and will always trigger with a bug looking
      something like
