      [PATCH] vgacon: make VGA_MAP_MEM take size, remove extra use · 4f1bcaf0
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures.  It makes sense
      to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between
      vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end.
      
      But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because
      we aren't going to access memory starting there.  On ia64, which always has
      to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely
      incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being
      nonsense.
      
      As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap()
      correctly, rather than giving it a zero size.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Implement PR_[GS]ET_UNALIGN prctls for powerpc · e9370ae1
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This gives the ability to control whether alignment exceptions get
      fixed up or reported to the process as a SIGBUS, using the existing
      PR_SET_UNALIGN and PR_GET_UNALIGN prctls.  We do not implement the
      option of logging a message on alignment exceptions.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl · fab5db97
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change
      their endian mode via prctl.
      
      This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up
      alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for
      "PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian.
      
      We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for
      little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian
      user/kernel ABI.  If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is
      restored to what it was when the signal was delivered.
      
      We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and
      one for true little-endian.  Most of the classic 32-bit processors
      support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature
      table.  There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland
      in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry.
      
      This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard.

      Make sure dma_alloc_coherent allocates memory from the local node.  This
      is important on Cell where we avoid going through the slow cpu
      interconnect.

      some pseries machine by those that have the hardware.

      [PATCH] powerpc: implement pcibus_to_node and pcibus_to_cpumask · 318facbe
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      On 64bit powerpc we can find out what node a pci bus hangs off, so
      implement the topology.h macros that export this information.
      
      For 32bit this seems a little more difficult, but I don't know of 32bit
      powerpc NUMA machines either, so let's leave it out for now.

      [PATCH] powerpc: reorg RTAS delay code · 507279db
      John Rose 提交于
      This patch attempts to handle RTAS "busy" return codes in a more simple
      and consistent manner.  Typical callers of RTAS shouldn't have to
      manage wait times and delay calls.
      
      This patch also changes the kernel to use msleep() rather than udelay()
      when a runtime delay is necessary.  This will avoid CPU soft lockups
      for extended delay conditions.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Fix buglet with MMU hash management · c5cf0e30
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Our MMU hash management code would not set the "C" bit (changed bit) in
      the hardware PTE when updating a RO PTE into a RW PTE. That would cause
      the hardware to possibly to a write back to the hash table to set it on
      the first store access, which in addition to being a performance issue,
      might also hit a bug when running with native hash management (non-HV)
      as our code is specifically optimized for the case where no write back
      happens.
      
      Thus there is a very small therocial window were a hash PTE can become
      corrupted if that HPTE has just been upgraded to read write, a store
      access happens on it, and that races with another processor evicting
      that same slot. Since eviction (caused by an almost full hash) is
      extremely rare, the bug is very unlikely to happen fortunately.
      
      This fixes by allowing the updating of the protection bits in the native
      hash handling to also set (but not clear) the "C" bit, and, in order to
      also improve performances in the general case, by always setting that
      bit on newly inserted hash PTE so that writeback really never happens.

      This patch cleans up some locking & error handling in the ppc vdso and
      moves the vdso base pointer from the thread struct to the mm context
      where it more logically belongs. It brings the powerpc implementation
      closer to Ingo's new x86 one and also adds an arch_vma_name() function
      allowing to print [vsdo] in /proc/<pid>/maps if Ingo's x86 vdso patch is
      also applied.
