Benjamin Herrenschmidt a7f290dad3 [PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.

Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.

I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

David Gibson 35cd8785de [PATCH] powerpc: Move udbg code to arch/powerpc
Since the udbg code in ppc64 has no ppc32 equivalent, move it straight
over into arch/powerpc (and include/asm-powerpc for udbg.h).  In time,
we probably want to meld the various bits and pieces of 32-bit early
debugging code into udbg, but for now only include it on
CONFIG_PPC64=y builds.  The only change during the move is to
standardise the protecting #ifdef/#define in udbg.h, and move its
banner comment above the initial #ifdef (which seems to be normal
practice).

Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).  Built
for 32bit multiplatform (ARCH=powerpc).

Anton Blanchard 45fb6cea09 [PATCH] ppc64: Convert NUMA to sparsemem (3)
Convert to sparsemem and remove all the discontigmem code in the
process. This has a few advantages:

- The old numa_memory_lookup_table can go away
- All the arch specific discontigmem magic can go away

We also remove the triple pass of memory properties and instead create a
list of per node extents that we iterate through. A final cleanup would
be to change our lmb code to store extents per node, then we can reuse
that information in the numa code.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0f34f49029 [PATCH] ppc64: fix PCI IO mapping
phbs_remap_io(), which maps the PCI IO space into the kernel virtual space,
is called too early on powermac, and thus doesn't work.

This fixes it by removing the call from all platforms and putting it back
into the ppc64 common code where it belongs, after the actual probing of
the bus.

That means that before that call, only the ISA IO space (if any) is mapped,
any PIO access (from quirks for example) will fail. This happens not to be
a problem for now, but we'll have to rework that code if it becomes one in
the future.

Linas Vepstas 18126f35f6 [PATCH] ppc64: bugfix: crash on PCI hotplug
09-hotplug-bugfix.patch

In the current 2.6.14-rc2-git6 kernel, performing a Dynamic LPAR Add
of a hotplug slot will crash the system, with the following (abbreviated)
stack trace:

cpu 0x3: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c000000053dff7f0]

        c000000000060754 .notifier_call_chain+0x68/0x9c

The root cause was that __init __alloc_bootmem() was called long after
boot had finished, resulting in a crash because this routine is undefined
after boot time.  The patch below fixes this crash, and adds some docs to
clarify the code.

Nick Piggin 64c7c8f885 [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle rework
Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid.  Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.

* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
  and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
  atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
  when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
  protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.

- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
  won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.

- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
  TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.

- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
  after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.

Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.

* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
  becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
  (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.

- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
  to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
  assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
  held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
  to the idle thread.

- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
  most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
  set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
  a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.

  Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
  can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
  the idle task.

  POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

Nick Piggin 5bfb5d690f [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks
Run idle threads with preempt disabled.

Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?

Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.

We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.

After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.

By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 0dc036c91a [PATCH] Kprobes: Track kprobe on a per_cpu basis - ppc64 changes
PPC64 changes to track kprobe execution on a per-cpu basis.  We now track the
kprobe state machine independently on each cpu using an arch specific kprobe
control block.

Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 66ff2d0691 [PATCH] Kprobes: rearrange preempt_disable/enable() calls
The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability.  We
currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution
using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock.

With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held.  It also
allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as
we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis.  It is now necessary
that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on
multiple processors.

All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64
has been compile tested only.

The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks:

patch 1: 	Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls
patches 2-7: 	Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution
patches 8-9: 	Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler
		execution.

Thanks to Maneesh Soni, James Keniston and Anil Keshavamurthy for their
review and suggestions. Thanks again to Anil, Hien Nguyen and Kevin Stafford
for testing the patches.

This patch:

Reorder preempt_disable/enable() calls in arch kprobes files in preparation to
introduce locking changes.  No functional changes introduced by this patch.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt c8e3c8b21b [PATCH] ppc64: Fix zImage boot
The zImage wrapper has a bug where it doesn't claim() the memory for the
kernel properly, it forgets to take into account the offset between the ELF
header and the kernel itself.  This results on some machines, like G5s,
into a kernel that crashes at boot when clearing the BSS.

Paul Mackerras 2249ca9d60 powerpc: Various UP build fixes
Mostly this involves adding #include <asm/smp.h>, since that defines
things like boot_cpuid[_phys] and [gs]et_hard_smp_processor_id, which
are SMP-related but still needed on UP.  This incorporates fixes
posted by Olof Johansson and Heikki Lindholm.

David Gibson dcad47fc42 [PATCH] powerpc: Kill ppcdebug
The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
accomplished with a command line option for that purpose.  The other
was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.

This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.

Built and booted on iSeries and pSeries POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc).

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 3c726f8dee [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages
Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K.  The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware.  On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.

Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.
