      [SPARC]: Kill 'prom_palette'. · 667bc389
      David S. Miller 提交于
      The idea of this thing is we could save/restore the firmware's
      palette when breaking in and out of the firmware prompt.
      
      Only one driver implemented this (atyfb) and it's value is
      questionable.  If you're just debugging you don't really
      care that the characters end up being purple or whatever.
      
      And we can provide better debugging and firmware command
      facilities with minimal in-kernel console I/O drivers.

      [SPARC64]: Fix lockdep, particularly on SMP. · 301feb65
      David S. Miller 提交于
      As noted by Al Viro, when we try to call prom_set_trap_table()
      in the SMP trampoline code we try to take the PROM call spinlock
      which doesn't work because the current thread pointer isn't
      valid yet and lockdep depends upon that being correct.
      
      Furthermore, we cannot set the current thread pointer register
      because it can't be properly dereferenced until we return from
      prom_set_trap_table().  Kernel TLB misses only work after that
      call.
      
      So do the PROM call to set the trap table directly instead of
      going through the OBP library C code, and thus avoid the lock
      altogether.
      
      These calls are guarenteed to be serialized fully.
      
      Since there are now no calls to the prom_set_trap_table{_sun4v}()
      library functions, they can be deleted.

      [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]: Initial LDOM cpu hotplug support. · 4f0234f4
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Only adding cpus is supports at the moment, removal
      will come next.
      
      When new cpus are configured, the machine description is
      updated.  When we get the configure request we pass in a
      cpu mask of to-be-added cpus to the mdesc CPU node parser
      so it only fetches information for those cpus.  That code
      also proceeds to update the SMT/multi-core scheduling bitmaps.
      
      cpu_up() does all the work and we return the status back
      over the DS channel.
      
      CPUs via dr-cpu need to be booted straight out of the
      hypervisor, and this requires:
      
      1) A new trampoline mechanism.  CPUs are booted straight
         out of the hypervisor with MMU disabled and running in
         physical addresses with no mappings installed in the TLB.
      
         The new hvtramp.S code sets up the critical cpu state,
         installs the locked TLB mappings for the kernel, and
         turns the MMU on.  It then proceeds to follow the logic
         of the existing trampoline.S SMP cpu bringup code.
      
      2) All calls into OBP have to be disallowed when domaining
         is enabled.  Since cpus boot straight into the kernel from
         the hypervisor, OBP has no state about that cpu and therefore
         cannot handle being invoked on that cpu.
      
         Luckily it's only a handful of interfaces which can be called
         after the OBP device tree is obtained.  For example, rebooting,
         halting, powering-off, and setting options node variables.
      
      CPU removal support will require some infrastructure changes
      here.  Namely we'll have to process the requests via a true
      kernel thread instead of in a workqueue.  workqueues run on
      a per-cpu thread, but when unconfiguring we might need to
      force the thread to execute on another cpu if the current cpu
      is the one being removed.  Removal of a cpu also causes the kernel
      to destroy that cpu's workqueue running thread.
      
      Another issue on removal is that we may have interrupts still
      pointing to the cpu-to-be-removed.  So new code will be needed
      to walk the active INO list and retarget those cpus as-needed.

      There is a special domain services capability for setting

      [SPARC64]: Fix powering off on SMP. · b4d1b825
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Doing a "SUNW,stop-self" firmware call on the other cpus is not the
      correct thing to do when dropping into the firmware for a halt,
      reboot, or power-off.
      
      For now, just do nothing to quiet the other cpus, as the system should
      be quiescent enough.  Later we may decide to implement smp_send_stop()
      like the other SMP platforms do.

      [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.
