      [POWERPC] force 64bit mode in fwnmi handlers to workaround firmware bugs · 9fc0a92c
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      The firmware of POWER4 and JS20 systems does not switch the cpu to 64bit
      mode when the registered system_reset and machine_check handlers get called.
      If a 32bit process runs on that cpu at the time of the event, the cpu
      remains in 32bit mode. xmon and kdump can not deal with it, the result is
      an error like 'Bad kernel stack pointer fff2aad0 at 3200'.
      xmon just loses some register info, but booting the kdump kernel usually fails.
      
      Both handlers are not hot paths.  Duplicate the EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES macro
      and add two instructions to switch to 64bit:
      
       li     r11,5;
       rldimi r10,r11,61,0;

      [PATCH] powermac: Combined fixes for backlight code · e01af038
      Michael Hanselmann 提交于
      This patch fixes several problems:
      - pmac_backlight_key() is called under interrupt context, and therefore
        can't use mutexes or semaphores, so defer the backlight level for
        later, as it's not critical (original code by Aristeu S. Rozanski F.
        <aris@valeta.org>).
      - Add exports for functions that might be called from modules
      - Fix Kconfig depdencies on PMAC_BACKLIGHT.
      - Fix locking issues on calls from inside the driver (reported by
        Aristeu S. Rozanski F., too)
      - Fix wrong calculation of backlight values in some of the drivers
      - Replace pmac_backlight_key_up/down by inline functions

      [PATCH] powerpc: make OF interrupt tree parsing more strict · 58d383a6
      Segher Boessenkool 提交于
      This patch fixes a bit of boundchecking in the new Open Firmware interrupt
      tree parsing code.  It's important that it fails when things aren't correct in
      order to trigger fallback mecanisms that are necessary to make some machines
      work properly.

      [PATCH] powerpc: fix trigger handling in the new irq code · 6e99e458
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch slightly reworks the new irq code to fix a small design error.  I
      removed the passing of the trigger to the map() calls entirely, it was not a
      good idea to have one call do two different things.  It also fixes a couple of
      corner cases.
      
      Mapping a linux virtual irq to a physical irq now does only that.  Setting the
      trigger is a different action which has a different call.
      
      The main changes are:
      
      - I no longer call host->ops->map() for an already mapped irq, I just return
        the virtual number that was already mapped.  It was called before to give an
        opportunity to change the trigger, but that was causing issues as that could
        happen while the interrupt was in use by a device, and because of the
        trigger change, map would potentially muck around with things in a racy way.
         That was causing much burden on a given's controller implementation of
        map() to get it right.  This is much simpler now.  map() is only called on
        the initial mapping of an irq, meaning that you know that this irq is _not_
        being used.  You can initialize the hardware if you want (though you don't
        have to).
      
      - Controllers that can handle different type of triggers (level/edge/etc...)
        now implement the standard irq_chip->set_type() call as defined by the
        generic code.  That means that you can use the standard set_irq_type() to
        configure an irq line manually if you wish or (though I don't like that
        interface), pass explicit trigger flags to request_irq() as defined by the
        generic kernel interfaces.  Also, using those interfaces guarantees that
        your controller set_type callback is called with the descriptor lock held,
        thus providing locking against activity on the same interrupt (including
        mask/unmask/etc...) automatically.  A result is that, for example, MPIC's
        own map() implementation calls irq_set_type(NONE) to configure the hardware
        to the default triggers.
      
      - To allow the above, the irq_map array entry for the new mapped interrupt
        is now set before map() callback is called for the controller.
      
      - The irq_create_of_mapping() (also used by irq_of_parse_and_map()) function
        for mapping interrupts from the device-tree now also call the separate
        set_irq_type(), and only does so if there is a change in the trigger type.
      
      - While I was at it, I changed pci_read_irq_line() (which is the helper I
        would expect most archs to use in their pcibios_fixup() to get the PCI
        interrupt routing from the device tree) to also handle a fallback when the
        DT mapping fails consisting of reading the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN to know wether
        the device has an interrupt at all, and the the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE to get an
        interrupt number from the device.  That number is then mapped using the
        default controller, and the trigger is set to level low.  That default
        behaviour works for several platforms that don't have a proper interrupt
        tree like Pegasos.  If it doesn't work for your platform, then either
        provide a proper interrupt tree from the firmware so that fallback isn't
        needed, or don't call pci_read_irq_line()
      
      - Add back a bit that got dropped by my main rework patch for properly
        clearing pending IPIs on pSeries when using a kexec

      [PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.h · 894673ee
      Jon Smirl 提交于
      screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be
      included by tty.h.  This patches removes the include and modifies all users to
      directly include screen_info.h.  struct screen_info is mainly used to
      communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console.  Note that this
      patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it.  If there is a
      mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Fix loss of interrupts with MPIC · ba1826e5
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      With the new interrupt rework, an interrupt "host" map() callback can be
      called after the interrupt is already active.
      
      It's called again for an already mapped interrupt to allow changing the
      trigger setup, and currently this is not guarded with a test of wether
      the interrupt is requested or not.
      
      I plan to change some of this logic to be a bit less lenient against
      random reconfiguring of live interrupts but just not yet.
      
      The ported MPIC driver has a bug where when that happens, it will mask
      the interrupt.  This changes it to preserve the previous masking of the
      interrupt instead.
