2006-07-13[POWERPC] iseries: Cleanup e2a() and strne2a()Michael Ellerman
e2a() was formally used by lparcfg, and so had to be exported, but isn't anymore, so don't. e2a() and strne2a() can both be static, and __init. And e2a can be made much more concise if we use x ... y case labels, while we're there add support for lower case letters.

2006-07-13[POWERPC] iseries: Use device tree /system-id in /proc/iSeries/configMichael Ellerman
We export a bunch of info in /proc/iSeries/config. Currently we pull it directly out of some iSeries specific structs, but we could use the device tree instead, this saves decoding it twice and is a little neater.

2006-07-07[POWERPC] Add cpufreq support for Xserve G5Benjamin Herrenschmidt
The Xserve G5 are capable of frequency switching like other desktop G5s. This enables it. It also fix a Kconfig issue which prevented from building the G5 cpufreq support if CONFIG_PMAC_SMU was not set (the first version of that driver only worked with SMU based macs, but this isn't the case anymore).

There were still some issues with offb when BootX doesn't provide a proper display node, this fixes them. This also re-instates the palette hacks that were disabled a couple of kernel versions ago when I converted to the new OF parsing, and shuffles some functions around to avoid prototypes.

2006-07-07[POWERPC] Fix non-MPIC CHRPs with CONFIG_SMP setBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Pseudo-CHRP machines like Pegasos without an MPIC would crash at boot if CONFIG_SMP was set because the "smp_ops" pointer was set to MPIC related ops unconditionally. This patch makes it NULL on machines that don't support SMP and provides proper default behaviour in the callers when smp_ops is NULL.

2006-07-03[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use itBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one. Because there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus), etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later in bisecting). This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the new code now. For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match any device node that isn't a 8259. That works fine on pSeries and avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees. The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node (including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't have a proper interrupt tree.

2006-06-29[PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chipIngo Molnar
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing functionality. While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is the new 'irq chip' abstraction. The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow" (level/edge/etc.) type of details. This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details. The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design. As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well. The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code and more consolidation between architectures. We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset. This patch: rename desc->handler to desc->chip. Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it truly is. I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke frequently. So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel. This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

2006-06-28[POWERPC] kdump: Reserve the existing TCE mappings left by the first kernelHaren Myneni
During kdump boot, noticed some machines checkstop on dma protection fault for ongoing DMA left in the first kernel. Instead of initializing TCE entries in iommu_init() for the kdump boot, this patch fixes this issue by walking through the each TCE table and checks whether the entries are in use by the first kernel. If so, reserve those entries by setting the corresponding bit in tbl->it_map such that these entries will not be available for the kdump boot. However it could be possible that all TCE entries might be used up due to the driver bug that does continuous mapping. My observation is around 1700 TCE entries are used on some systems (Ex: P4) at some point of time during kdump boot and saving dump (either write into the disk or sending to remote machine). Hence, this patch will make sure that minimum of 2048 entries will be available such that kdump boot could be successful in some cases.

2006-06-23[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
