mac-fec.c was setting individual UDP address registers instead of multicast group address registers when joining a multicast group. This prevented from correctly receiving UDP multicast packets. According to datasheet, replaced hash_table_high and hash_table_low with grp_hash_table_high and grp_hash_table_low respectively. Also renamed hash_table_* with grp_hash_table_* in struct fec declaration for 8xx: these registers are used only for multicast there. Tested on a MPC5121 based board.

e500mc does not support the HID0/MSR mechanism that is used by e500_idle (and there are also issues with waking on certain types of interrupts). Further, even if napping is never actually enabled, just having CPU_FTR_CAN_NAP will cause machine_init() to overwrite the board's supplied ppc_md.power_save().

The current code soft-disables, and then goes to NAP mode which turns interrupts on. That means that if an interrupt occurs, we will hit the masked interrupt code path which isn't what we want, as it will return with EE off, which will either get us out of NAP mode, or fail to enter it (according to spec). Instead, let's just rely on the fact that it is safe to take decrementer interrupts on an offline CPU and leave interrupts enabled. We can also get rid of the special case in asm for power4_cpu_offline_powersave() and just use power4_idle(). Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Various thing are torn down when a CPU is hot-unplugged. That CPU is expected to go back to start_secondary when re-plugged to re initialize everything, such as clock sources, maps, ... Some implementations just return from cpu_die() callback in the idle loop when the CPU is "re-plugged". This is not enough. We fix it using a little asm trampoline which resets the stack and calls back into start_secondary as if we were all fresh from boot. The trampoline already existed on ppc64, but we add it for ppc32 Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

minix bit operations are only used by minix filesystem and useless by other modules. Because byte order of inode and block bitmaps is different on each architecture like below: m68k: big-endian 16bit indexed bitmaps h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu: big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps m32r, mips, sh, xtensa: big-endian 32 or 64bit indexed bitmaps for big-endian mode little-endian bitmaps for little-endian mode Others: little-endian bitmaps In order to move minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h to architecture independent code in minix filesystem, this provides two config options. CONFIG_MINIX_FS_BIG_ENDIAN_16BIT_INDEXED is only selected by m68k. CONFIG_MINIX_FS_NATIVE_ENDIAN is selected by the architectures which use native byte order bitmaps (h8300, microblaze, s390, sparc, m68knommu, m32r, mips, sh, xtensa). The architectures which always use little-endian bitmaps do not select these options. Finally, we can remove minix bit operations from asm/bitops.h for all architectures.

In some cases during a threaded core dump not all the threads will have a full register set. This happens when the signal causing the core dump races with a thread exiting. The race happens when the exiting thread has entered the kernel for the last time before the signal arrives, but doesn't get far enough through the exit code to avoid being included in the core dump. So we get a thread included in the core dump which is never going to go out to userspace again and only has a partial register set recorded Normally we would catch each thread as it is about to go into userspace and capture the full register set then. However, this exiting thread is never going to go out to userspace again, so we have no way to capture its full register set. It doesn't really matter, though, as this is a thread which is effectively already dead. So instead of hitting a BUG() in this case (a really bad choice of action in the first place), we use a poison value for the register values.

This property, defined in the Open PIC binding, tells the kernel not to use the reset bit in the global configuration register. Additionally, its presence mandates that only sources which are actually used (i.e. appear in the device tree) should have their VECPRI bits initialized. Although, "pic-no-reset" can be used for the same use cases that "protected-sources" is covering, the "protected-sources" implementation was left completely intact. This is a more pragmatic approach as there are already several existing systems which use protected sources. If "pic-no-reset" *and* "protected-sources" are both used, however, then "pic-no-reset" takes precedence in terms of the init behavior and the sanity checks done by protected sources will still take place.

This erratum can occur if a single-precision floating-point, double-precision floating-point or vector floating-point instruction on a mispredicted branch path signals one of the floating-point data interrupts which are enabled by the SPEFSCR (FINVE, FDBZE, FUNFE or FOVFE bits). This interrupt must be recorded in a one-cycle window when the misprediction is resolved. If this extremely rare event should occur, the result could be: The SPE Data Exception from the mispredicted path may be reported erroneously if a single-precision floating-point, double-precision floating-point or vector floating-point instruction is the second instruction on the correct branch path. According to errata description, some efp instructions which are not supposed to trigger SPE exceptions can trigger the exceptions in this case. However, as we haven't emulated these instructions here, a signal will send to userspace, and userspace application would exit. This patch re-issue the efp instruction that we haven't emulated, so that hardware can properly execute it again if this case happen.

The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT. This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue by running fault_in_user_writeable(). This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the original value through a reference argument.
