ppc64 does the unusual thing of using #include on a compiler-generated assembly file (lparmap.s) from an assembly source file (head_64.S). This runs afoul of my recent patch to pass -gdwarf2 to the assembler under CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO. This patch avoids the problem by disabling DWARF generation (-g0) when producing lparmap.s.

The 440 family of processors don't have a tlbie instruction. So, we implement TLB invalidates by explicitly searching the TLB with tlbsx., then clobbering the relevant entry, if any. Unfortunately the PID for the search needs to be stored in the MMUCR register, which is also used by the TLB miss handler. Interrupts were enabled in _tlbie(), so an interrupt between loading the MMUCR and the tlbsx could cause incorrect search results, and thus a failure to invalide TLB entries which needed to be invalidated. This fixes the problem in both arch/ppc and arch/powerpc by inhibiting interrupts (even critical and debug interrupts) across the relevant instructions.

powerpc has a couple of bugs in the usage of dma_masks that tend to break when drivers explicitly try to set a 32-bit mask for example. First, the code that generates the pci devices from the OF device-tree doesn't initialize the mask properly, then our implementation of set_dma_mask() was trying to validate the -previous- mask value, not the one passed in as an argument. This fixes these problems. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

On a machine with hardware 64kB pages and a kernel configured for a 64kB base page size, we need to change the vmalloc segment from 64kB pages to 4kB pages if some driver creates a non-cacheable mapping in the vmalloc area. However, we never updated with SLB shadow buffer. This fixes it. Thanks to paulus for finding this. Also added some write barriers to ensure the shadow buffer contents are always consistent.

In smp_call_function_map(), num_cpus is set to the number of online CPUs minus one. However, if the CPU mask does not include all CPUs (except the one we're running on), the routine will hang in the first while() loop until the 8 second timeout occurs. The num_cpus should be set to the number of CPUs specified in the mask passed into the routine, after we've made any modifications to the mask. With this change, we can also get rid of the call to cpus_empty() and avoid adding another pass through the bitmask.

As of 2.6.22 the kernel doesn't recognize the i8042 keyboard/mouse controller on the PegasosPPC. This is because of a feature/bug in the OF device tree: the "device_type" attribute is an empty string instead of "8042" as the kernel expects. This adds a secondary detection which looks for a device whose *name* is "8042" if there is no device whose *type* is "8042".

This reverts commit fd6e9d39. Having #size-cells == 0 in a node indicates that things under the node aren't directly accessible, and therefore we shouldn't try to translate addresses for devices under the node into CPU physical addresses. Some drivers, such as the nvram driver for powermacs, rely on of_address_to_resource failing if they are called for a node representing a device whose resources aren't directly accessible by the CPU. These drivers were broken by commit fd6e9d39, resulting in the "Lombard" powerbook hanging early in the boot process. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn). Check pointer returned from kzalloc. Eliminated unnecessary cast.

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu, but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus. One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the interface to achieve this is not clean. This patch: Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once wrote code like this: struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" }; And then his kernel exploded. Oops. This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text address that it represents. We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.
