      [PATCH] ppc64: kexec support for ppc64 · fce0d574
      R Sharada 提交于
      This patch implements the kexec support for ppc64 platforms.
      
      A couple of notes:
      
      1)  We copy the pages in virtual mode, using the full base kernel
          and a statically allocated stack.   At kexec_prepare time we
          scan the pages and if any overlap our (0, _end[]) range we
          return -ETXTBSY.
      
          On PowerPC 64 systems running in LPAR (logical partitioning)
          mode, only a small region of memory, referred to as the RMO,
          can be accessed in real mode.  Since Linux runs with only one
          zone of memory in the memory allocator, and it can be orders of
          magnitude more memory than the RMO, looping until we allocate
          pages in the source region is not feasible.  Copying in virtual
          means we don't have to write a hash table generation and call
          hypervisor to insert translations, instead we rely on the pinned
          kernel linear mapping.  The kernel already has move to linked
          location built in, so there is no requirement to load it at 0.
      
          If we want to load something other than a kernel, then a stub
          can be written to copy a linear chunk in real mode.
      
      2)  The start entry point gets passed parameters from the kernel.
          Slaves are started at a fixed address after copying code from
          the entry point.
      
          All CPUs get passed their firmware assigned physical id in r3
          (most calling conventions use this register for the first
          argument).
      
          This is used to distinguish each CPU from all other CPUs.
          Since firmware is not around, there is no other way to obtain
          this information other than to pass it somewhere.
      
          A single CPU, referred to here as the master and the one executing
          the kexec call, branches to start with the address of start in r4.
          While this can be calculated, we have to load it through a gpr to
          branch to this point so defining the register this is contained
          in is free.  A stack of unspecified size is available at r1
          (also common calling convention).
      
          All remaining running CPUs are sent to start at absolute address
          0x60 after copying the first 0x100 bytes from start to address 0.
          This convention was chosen because it matches what the kernel
          has been doing itself.  (only gpr3 is defined).
      
          Note: This is not quite the convention of the kexec bootblock v2
          in the kernel.  A stub has been written to convert between them,
          and we may adjust the kernel in the future to allow this directly
          without any stub.
      
      3)  Destination pages can be placed anywhere, even where they
          would not be accessible in real mode.  This will allow us to
          place ram disks above the RMO if we choose.

      [PATCH] pSeries - read irqs dynamically · dad32bbf
      John Rose 提交于
      For I/O DLPAR to work properly, the kernel needs to allow for dynamic
      assignment of the irq field of the pci_dev structure upon dynamic bus
      addition.  This patch moves the assignment of that field from
      pSeries_final_fixup() to pcibios_fixup_bus(), which enables dynamic
      assignment for the children of a newly added bus.
      
      Currently, pci_devs receive their irq numbers in one of two ways.  The
      irq line is either read at boot for all pci_devs, or read by the rpaphp
      module at slot enable time.  The latter is no longer sufficient for
      DLPAR addition of slots that don't qualify as PCI-hotplug capable.
      This solution handles the cases of boot and dynamic add.

      [PATCH] ppc64: pSeries_progress -> rtas_progress · 6566c6f1
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The pSeries_progress function is called from some places in the rtas code,
      which may also be used by non-pSeries platforms.
      Though pSeries is currently the only platform type that implements
      display-character, the code is actually generic enough to be part of
      the rtas subsystem.
      
      I hit a bug here because the generic rtas code tried calling ppc_md.progress,
      which points to an __init function on most platforms.
      
      We could also clear the ppc_md.progress pointer when freeing the init memory
      to make it more explicit that ppc_md.progress must not be called after
      bootup.

      [PATCH] ppc64: consolidate calibrate_decr implementations · 10f7e7c1
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      pSeries and maple have almost the same code for calibrate_decr,
      and BPA would need yet another copy. Instead, I'm moving the
      code to arch/ppc64/kernel/time.c.
      
      Some of the related declarations were missing from header
      files, so I'm moving those as well.
      
      It makes sense to merge this with the pmac function of the
      same name, so we end up having just one implemetation for
      iSeries and one for Open Firmware based machines.

      [PATCH] ppc64: Fix semantics of __ioremap · dfbacdc1
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch fixes ppc64 __ioremap() so that it stops adding implicitely
      _PAGE_GUARDED when the cache is not writeback, and instead, let the callers
      provide the flag they want here.  This allows things like framebuffers to
      explicitely request a non-cacheable and non-guarded mapping which is more
      efficient for that type of memory without side effects.  The patch also
      fixes all current callers to add _PAGE_GUARDED except btext, which is fine
      without it.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
