* [PATCH] powerpc: Turn cpu_irq_down into kexec_cpu_downMichael Ellerman2005-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have a ppc_md member called cpu_irq_down, which disables IRQs for the cpu in question. 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.

| * [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pagesBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently. Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the information from the newer hypervisors.

* | [PATCH] powerpc: Make ppc_md.set_dabr non 64-bit specificMichael Ellerman2005-11-06
|/ | | | | | | | | | Define ppc_md.set_dabr for both 32 + 64 bit. Cleanup the implementation for pSeries also, it was needlessly complex. Now we just do two firmware tests at setup time, and use one of two functions, rather than using one function and testing on every call.

* powerpc: Make set_dabr() a ppc_md functionMichael Ellerman2005-11-02
| | | | | | | Move pSeries specific code in set_dabr() into a ppc_md function, this will allow us to keep plpar_wrappers.h private to platforms/pseries. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>
* [PATCH] ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns instead of addressesRoland Dreier2005-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an address. This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G on 32-bit architectures. We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G. Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an address by directly comparing to max_pfn. Working with max_pfn instead of high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.

* powerpc: Merge in 64-bit powermac support.Paul Mackerras2005-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | This brings in a lot of changes from arch/ppc64/kernel/pmac_*.c to arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/*.c and makes various minor tweaks elsewhere. On the powermac we now initialize ppc_md by copying the whole pmac_md structure into it, which required some changes in the ordering of initializations of individual fields of it.

* ppc64: Change ppc_md.get_cpuinfo to ppc_md.show_cpuinfoPaul Mackerras2005-10-20

* powerpc: Merge machdep.hPaul Mackerras2005-10-19
A few things change for consistency between ppc32 and ppc64: idle functions return void; *_get_boot_time functions return unsigned long (i.e. time_t) rather than filling in a struct rtc_time (since that's useful to the callers and easier for pmac to generate); *_get_rtc_time and *_set_rtc_time functions take a struct rtc_time; irq_canonicalize is gone; nvram_sync returns void.
