* powerpc: Trivially merge several headers from asm-ppc64 to asm-powerpcPaul Mackerras2005-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For these, I have just done the lame-o merge where the file ends up looking like: #ifndef CONFIG_PPC64 #include <asm-ppc/foo.h> #else ... contents from asm-ppc64/foo.h #endif so nothing has changed, really, except that we reduce include/asm-ppc64 a bit more.

* [PATCH] powerpc: 64k pages pmd alloc fixBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | This patch makes the kernel use a different kmem cache for PMD pages as they are smaller than PTE pages. Avoids waste of memory. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [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] Four level pagetables for ppc64David Gibson2005-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64 This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T). The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level, and a quarter page for the intermediate levels. It uses full 64-bit pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of physical memory. This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.

* [PATCH] ppc64: update to use the new 4L headersBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-05-01

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. Let it rip!
