      sparc64: Get rid of indirect p1275 PROM call buffer. · 25edd694
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This is based upon a report by Meelis Roos showing that it's possible
      that we'll try to fetch a property that is 32K in size with some
      devices.  With the current fixed 3K buffer we use for moving data in
      and out of the firmware during PROM calls, that simply won't work.
      
      In fact, it will scramble random kernel data during bootup.
      
      The reasoning behind the temporary buffer is entirely historical.  It
      used to be the case that we had problems referencing dynamic kernel
      memory (including the stack) early in the boot process before we
      explicitly told the firwmare to switch us over to the kernel trap
      table.
      
      So what we did was always give the firmware buffers that were locked
      into the main kernel image.
      
      But we no longer have problems like that, so get rid of all of this
      indirect bounce buffering.
      
      Besides fixing Meelis's bug, this also makes the kernel data about 3K
      smaller.
      
      It was also discovered during these conversions that the
      implementation of prom_retain() was completely wrong, so that was
      fixed here as well.  Currently that interface is not in use.

      sparc,sparc64: unify prom/ · 5de18cde
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      - all files with identical names copied and renamed to *_64.c
      - the remaning files copied as is
      - added sparc64 specific files to sparc/prom/Makefile
      - teach sparc64 Makefile to look into sparc/prom/
      - delete unused Makefile from sparc64/prom/
      
      linking order was not kept for sparc64 with this change.
      It was not possible to keep linking order for both sparc and sparc64
      and as sparc64 see more testing than sparc it was natural to
      break linking order on sparc64. Should it have any effect it
      would be detected sooner this way.
      
      printf_32.c and printf_64.c are obvious candidates to be merged
      but they are not 100% equal so that was left for later

      [SPARC]: Fix serial console device detection. · c73fcc84
      David S. Miller 提交于
      The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which
      is wrong.
      
      The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias
      or similar to a full path name to the console device.
      
      Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a
      colon at the end of the path.  The option area is used to specify
      which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a
      device node drives multiple ports.  'a' is assumed if the option
      specification is missing.
      
      This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator.  The 'output-device'
      property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this
      is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'.  Instead we saw it
      as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console.
      
      The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve
      the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too.
      
      Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

      [SPARC64]: Rewrite bootup sequence. · bff06d55
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Instead of all of this cpu-specific code to remap the kernel
      to the correct location, use portable firmware calls to do
      this instead.
      
      What we do now is the following in position independant
      assembler:
      
      	chosen_node = prom_finddevice("/chosen");
      	prom_mmu_ihandle_cache = prom_getint(chosen_node, "mmu");
      	vaddr = 4MB_ALIGN(current_text_addr());
      	prom_translate(vaddr, &paddr_high, &paddr_low, &mode);
      	prom_boot_mapping_mode = mode;
      	prom_boot_mapping_phys_high = paddr_high;
      	prom_boot_mapping_phys_low = paddr_low;
      	prom_map(-1, 8 * 1024 * 1024, KERNBASE, paddr_low);
      
      and that replaces the massive amount of by-hand TLB probing and
      programming we used to do here.
      
      The new code should also handle properly the case where the kernel
      is mapped at the correct address already (think: future kexec
      support).
      
      Consequently, the bulk of remap_kernel() dies as does the entirety
      of arch/sparc64/prom/map.S
      
      We try to share some strings in the PROM library with the ones used
      at bootup, and while we're here mark input strings to oplib.h routines
      with "const" when appropriate.
      
      There are many more simplifications now possible.  For one thing, we
      can consolidate the two copies we now have of a lot of cpu setup code
      sitting in head.S and trampoline.S.
      
      This is a significant step towards CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
