      [PATCH] powerpc/8xx: Use 8MB D-TLB's for kernel static mapping faults · 8f069b1a
      Marcelo Tosatti 提交于
      The following implements support for instantiation of 8MB D-TLB
      entries for the kernel direct virtual mapping on 8xx, thus reducing TLB
      space consumed for the kernel.
      
      Test used: writing 40MB from /dev/zero to file in ext2fs over 
      RAMDISK.
      
      $ time dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=4k count=10000

      and averages for both:
      
      real	11.54750	real 11.12450
      
      Which is a 3.6% improvement in execution time. More improvement is
      expected for loads with larger kernel data footprint (real workloads).

      Kumar Gala 提交于
      Parse the flat device tree for devices on Freescale SOC's that we know
      about (gianfar, gianfar_mdio, i2c, mpc83xx_wdt).  We need to setup
      platform devices and platform data for these devices to match arch/ppc
      usage.
      
      Also add a helper function (get_immrbase) that reports the base
      address of the MMIO registers on the SOC.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Allow for ppc_md restart, power_off, and halt to be NULL · b8e383d5
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      On a number of embedded reference boards there isn't always a
      way to reset, power_off, or halt the board.  Rather than having
      each board implement a spin loop just let the generic code do
      it.

      [PATCH] powerpc: oprofile cpu type names clash with other code · 7a45fb19
      Andy Whitcroft 提交于
      In 2.6.15-git6 a change was commited in the oprofile support in
      the powerpc architecture.  It introduced the powerpc_oprofile_type
      which contains the define G4.  This causes a name clash with the
      existing wacom usb tablet driver.
      
            CC [M]  drivers/usb/input/wacom.o
          drivers/usb/input/wacom.c:98: error: conflicting types for `G4'
          include/asm/cputable.h:37: error: previous declaration of `G4'
            CC [M]  drivers/usb/mon/mon_text.o
          make[3]: *** [drivers/usb/input/wacom.o] Error 1
          make[2]: *** [drivers/usb/input] Error 2
      
      The elements of an enum declared in global scope are effectivly
      global identifiers themselves.  As such we need to ensure the names
      are unique.  This patch updates the later oprofile support to use
      unique names.

      powerpc: Provide a suitable AT_PLATFORM value · 80f15dc7
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      The glibc folks want to use AT_PLATFORM to select between possible
      alternative versions of shared libraries.  This commit makes the kernel
      supply an AT_PLATFORM string that indicates what class of processor
      we are running on.  Processors with the same set of user-level
      instructions and roughly the same instruction scheduling characteristics
      are given the same AT_PLATFORM value; for example, 821, 823 and 860
      are all reported as "ppc823", and 7447, 7447A, 7448, 7450, 7451, 7455
      are all called "ppc7450".
      
      The intention is that the AT_PLATFORM values match the values that
      gcc accepts for the -mcpu= option.  For values which are numeric
      (e.g. -mcpu=750), "ppc" has been prepended.
      
      This also adds a PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE bit to the AT_HWCAP value and sets
      it for the 440 family and the Freescale 85xx family.

      [PATCH] Increase AT_VECTOR_SIZE · 67daf5f1
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      On PowerPC, we want to be able to provide an AT_PLATFORM aux table
      entry to userspace, so that glibc can choose optimized libraries for
      the processor we're running on.  Unfortunately that would be the 21st
      aux table entry on powerpc, meaning that the aux table including the
      terminating null entry would overflow the mm->saved_auxv[] array,
      leading to userland programs segfaulting.
      
      This increases the size of the mm->saved_auxv array to be large enough
      to accommodate an AT_PLATFORM entry on powerpc.

      [PATCH] Fix oops in ufs_fill_super at mount time · 8a430d74
      Evgeniy 提交于
      There's a lack of parenthesis in fs/ufs/utils.h, so instead of the 512th
      byte of buffer, the usb2 pointer will point to the nth structure of type
      ufs_super_block_second.
      
      This can cause a mount-time oops if you're unlucky (especially with
      DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, which is how Alexey Dobriyan saw this problem)
