* [PATCH] mm: powerpc init_mm without ptlockHugh Dickins2005-11-23

* [PATCH] mm: powerpc ptlock commentsHugh Dickins2005-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Update comments (only) on page_table_lock and mmap_sem in arch/powerpc. Removed the comment on page_table_lock from hash_huge_page: since it's no longer taking page_table_lock itself, it's irrelevant whether others are; but how it is safe (even against huge file truncation?) I can't say.

* [PATCH] unpaged: VM_UNPAGEDHugh Dickins2005-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Although we tend to associate VM_RESERVED with remap_pfn_range, quite a few drivers set VM_RESERVED on areas which are then populated by nopage. The PageReserved removal in 2.6.15-rc1 changed VM_RESERVED not to free pages in zap_pte_range, without changing those drivers not to set it: so their pages just leak away. Let's not change miscellaneous drivers now: introduce VM_UNPAGED at the core, to flag the special areas where the ptes may have no struct page, or if they have then it's not to be touched. Replace most instances of VM_RESERVED in core mm by VM_UNPAGED. Force it on in remap_pfn_range, and the sparc and sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range. Revert addition of VM_RESERVED to powerpc vdso, it's not needed there. Is it needed anywhere? It still governs the mm->reserved_vm statistic, and special vmas not to be merged, and areas not to be core dumped; but could probably be eliminated later (the drivers are probably specifying it because in 2.4 it kept swapout off the vma, but in 2.6 we work from the LRU, which these pages don't get on). Use the VM_SHM slot for VM_UNPAGED, and define VM_SHM to 0: it serves no purpose whatsoever, and should be removed from drivers when we clean up.

* powerpc: Fix bug in timebase synchronization on 32-bit SMP powermacPaul Mackerras2005-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | We were using udelay in the loop on the primary cpu waiting for the secondary cpu to take the timebase value. Unfortunately now that udelay uses the timebase, and the timebase is stopped at this point, the udelay never terminated. This fixes it by not using udelay, and increases the number of loops before we time out to compensate. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* [PATCH] powerpc: Remove imalloc.hDavid Gibson2005-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | asm-ppc64/imalloc.h is only included from files in arch/powerpc/mm. We already have a header for mm local definitions, arch/powerpc/mm/mmu_decl.h. Thus, this patch moves the contents of imalloc.h into mmu_decl.h. The only exception are the definitions of PHBS_IO_BASE, IMALLOC_BASE and IMALLOC_END. Those are moved into pgtable.h, next to similar definitions of VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_SIZE. Built for multiplatform 32bit and 64bit (ARCH=powerpc).

| | | | | | | | | | This makes 32-bit CHRP systems use the RTAS time-of-day routines if available. It fixes a bug in the RTAS time-of-day routines where they were storing a 64-bit timebase value in an unsigned long by making those variables u64.

* powerpc: Fix delay functions for 601 processorsPaul Mackerras2005-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | My earlier merge of delay.h introduced a timebase-based udelay for 32-bit machines but also broke the 601, which doesn't have the timebase register. This fixes it by using the 601's RTC register on the 601, and also moves __delay() and udelay() to be out-of-line in arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vDSO functions should have the same calling convention as a syscall. Unfortunately, they currently don't set the cr0.so bit which is used to indicate an error. This patch makes them clear this bit unconditionally since all functions currently succeed. The syscall fallback done by some of them will eventually override this if the syscall fails. This also changes the symbol version of all vdso exports to make sure glibc can differenciate between old and fixed calls for existing ones like __kernel_gettimeofday.

In addition, the code for initializing PCI host bridges was scattered all over the place with some duplication between platforms. This patch fixes the problem and does a small cleanup by creating a pcibios_alloc_controller() in pci_64.c that is similar to the one in pci_32.c (just takes an additional device node argument) that takes care of all the grunt allocation and initialisation work.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch should fix the crashes we have been seeing on 64-bit powerpc systems with a memory hole when sparsemem is enabled. I'd appreciate it if people who know more about NUMA and sparsemem than me could look over it. There were two bugs. The first was that if NUMA was enabled but there was no NUMA information for the machine, the setup_nonnuma() function was adding a single region, assuming memory was contiguous. The second was that the loops in mem_init() and show_mem() assumed that all pages within the span of a pgdat were valid (had a valid struct page). I also fixed the incorrect setting of num_physpages that Mike Kravetz pointed out. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The only caller of cpu_irq_down is the kexec code. On pSeries we need to do more than just teardown IRQs at kexec time, so rename the ppc_md member to kexec_cpu_down and expand it. The pSeries code needs to know, and other platforms might too, whether we're doing a crash shutdown (ie. panicking) or a regular kexec, so add a flag for that. The pSeries implementation of kexec_cpu_down does an unregister VPA call, which tells the Hypervisor to stop writing stuff into our pacas. Without this we can get weird memory corruption bugs when we kexec, caused by the Hypervisor writing into the first kernel's pacas which happens to be somewhere interesting in the second kernel's memory.

Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier).
