      [POWERPC] Fix powermac late initcall to only run on powermac · c5f226c7
      Tony Breeds 提交于
      Current ppc64_defconfig kernel fails to boot on iSeries, dying with:
      
      Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
      Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000071b258

      Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
      
      This happens because some powermac code unconditionally sets
      ppc_md.progress to NULL.  This patch makes sure the powermac late
      initcall is only run on powermac machines.

      [POWERPC] PowerPC: Prevent data exception in kernel space (32-bit) · 9ba4ace3
      Segher Boessenkool 提交于
      The "is_exec" branch of the protection check in do_page_fault()
      didn't do anything on 32-bit PowerPC.  So if a userland program
      jumps to a page with Linux protection flags "---p", all the tests
      happily fall through, and handle_mm_fault() is called, which in
      turn calls handle_pte_fault(), which calls update_mmu_cache(),
      which goes flush the dcache to a page with no access rights.
      
      Boom.
      
      This fixes it.

      [POWERPC] rheap - eliminates internal fragments caused by alignment · 7c8545e9
      Li Yang 提交于
      The patch adds fragments caused by rh_alloc_align() back to free list, instead
      of allocating the whole chunk of memory.  This will greatly improve memory
      utilization managed by rheap.
      
      It solves MURAM not enough problem with 3 UCCs enabled on MPC8323.
