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. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Testing shows that the prom_unmap() calls do absolutely nothing. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Because we don't access the PAGE_OFFSET linear mappings any longer before we take over the trap table from the firmware, we don't need to load dummy mappings there into the TLB and we don't need the bootmap_base hack any longer either. While we are here, check for a larger than 8MB kernel and halt the boot with an error message. We know that doesn't work, so instead of failing mysteriously we should let the user know exactly what's wrong. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Just allocate them physically starting from the end of the kernel image. This incredibly simplifies our MM bootstrap in that we don't need any mappings in the linear PAGE_OFFSET area working in order to bootstrap ourselves and take over the trap table from the firmware. Many further simplifications are possible now, and this also sets the stage for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This was kind of ugly, and actually buggy. The bug was that we didn't handle a machine with memory starting > 4GB. If the 'prompmd' was allocated in physical memory > 4GB we'd croak because the obp_iaddr_patch and obp_daddr_patch things only supported a 32-bit physical address. So fix this by just loading the appropriate values from two variables in the kernel image, which is locked into the TLB and thus accesses to them can't cause a recursive TLB miss.

The page->flags D-cache dirty state tracking depended upon NR_CPUS being a power-of-2 via it's "NR_CPUS - 1" masking. Fix that to use a fixed (256 - 1) mask as that is the limit imposed by thread_info->cpu which is a "u8". Finally, add a compile time check that NR_CPUS is not greater than 256.

In particular, avoid membar instructions in the delay slot of a jmpl instruction. UltraSPARC-I, II, IIi, and IIe have a bug, documented in the UltraSPARC-IIi User's Manual, Appendix K, Erratum 51 The long and short of it is that if the IMU unit misses on a branch or jmpl, and there is a store buffer synchronizing membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions. If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the chip will unwedge itself, but performance will suffer. We already had a workaround for this bug in a few spots, but it's better to have the entire tree sanitized for this rule. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This case actually can get exercised a lot during an ELF coredump of a process which contains a lot of non-COW'd anonymous pages. GDB has this test case which in partiaular creates near terabyte process full of ZERO_PAGEes. It takes forever to just walk through the page tables because of all of these spurious cache flushes on sparc64. With this change it takes only a second or so. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

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!
