i8259 PIC is disabled on MPC8610HPCD boards, thus currently rtc-cmos
driver fails to probe.
To fix the issue, we lookup the device tree for "chrp,iic" and
"pnpPNP,000" compatible devices, and if not found we do not assign RTC
IRQ and assuming that i8259 was disabled.
Though this patch fixes RTC on some boards (and surely should not break
any other), the whole approach is still broken. We can't easily fix this
though, because old device trees do not specify i8259 interrupts for the
cmos rtc node.

This patch introduces baudrate setting support via the generic clock API.
When present the optional device tree clock property is used instead of
fsl-cpm-brg. Platforms can then define complex clock schemes, to output
the serial clock on an external pin for instance.

The 64K SPU local store mapping feature is incompatible with the
64K huge pages support due to the inability of some parts of
the memory management to differenciate between them while they
use a different page table format.
For now, disable 64K huge pages when CONFIG_SPU_FS_64K_LS,
in the long run, this can be fixed by making this feature use
the hugetlb page table format.

When using the "sccdbg" option to route early kernel messages and
xmon to the SCC serial port on PowerMacs, when this wasn't the
configured output port of Open Firmware, we initialize the baudrate
to 57600bps. This isn't a very good default on some powermacs where
both the FW and pmac_zilog will default to 38400. This fixes it to
use the same logic as pmac_zilog to pick a default speed.

Collect cache information from the OF device tree and display it in
the cpu hierarchy in sysfs. This is intended to be compatible at the
userspace level with x86's implementation[1], hence some of the funny
attribute names. The arrangement of cache info is not immediately
intuitive, but (again) it's for compatibility's sake.
The cache attributes exposed are:
type (Data, Instruction, or Unified)
level (1, 2, 3...)
size
coherency_line_size
number_of_sets
ways_of_associativity
All of these can be derived on platforms that follow the OF PowerPC
Processor binding. The code "publishes" only those attributes for
which it is able to determine values; attributes for values which
cannot be determined are not created at all.

This makes the powerpc signal handling code call tracehook_signal_handler()

Rather doing one initialization pass over all the per-cpu

This is a behavior change -- the thread_siblings attribute now

This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump. It implements the
following features:
- Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after
kexec.
- Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.
The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in
physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to call BIOS code under
Linux.
kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and
the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:
source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10
Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return:
1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:
CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y
2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one.
3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode"
4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1.
5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command
line can be as follow:
/sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode
6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line:
/sbin/kexec -e
Implementation point:
To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source
page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination
page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source
pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are
swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping
to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the
destination pages and the source pages are swapped too.
C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between
kernel and called code.
A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to
indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.
Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it
possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't
request to get it built in.
The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor
functions in its asm/gpio.h file. This patch adds the implementations for
x86 and PPC.
With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on
every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions. Support
for more architectures can easily be added.

Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).
Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.
Solution:
1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have
two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
lock for kretporbe object.
2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent
deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
lock.
3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
table.

This is a large patch but the normal code path is not affected. For
non-pSeries platforms the code is ifdef'ed out and for non-CMO enabled
pSeries systems this does not affect the normal code path. Devices that
do not perform DMA operations do not need modification with this patch.
The function get_desired_dma was renamed from get_io_entitlement for
clarity.
Overview
Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO) allows for a set of OS partitions
to be run with less RAM than the aggregate needs of the group of
partitions. The firmware will balance memory between the partitions
and page in/out memory as needed. Based on the number and type of IO
adpaters preset each partition is allocated an amount of memory for
DMA operations and this allocation will be guaranteed to the partition;
this is referred to as the partition's 'entitlement'.
Partitions running in a CMO environment can only have virtual IO devices
present. The VIO bus layer will manage the IO entitlement for the system.
Accounting, at a system and per-device level, is tracked in the VIO bus
code and exposed via sysfs. A set of dma_ops functions are added to
the bus to allow for this accounting.
Bus initialization
At initialization, the bus will calculate the minimum needs of the system
based on providing each device present with a standard minimum entitlement
along with a spare allocation for the bus to handle hotplug events.
If the minimum needs can not be met the system boot will be halted.
Device changes
The significant changes for devices while running under CMO are that the
devices must specify how much dedicated IO entitlement they desire and
must also handle DMA mapping errors that can occur due to constrained
IO memory. The virtual IO drivers are modified to silence errors when
DMA mappings fail for CMO and handle these failures gracefully.
Each devices will be guaranteed a minimum entitlement that can always
be mapped. Devices will specify how much entitlement they desire and
the VIO bus will attempt to provide for this. Devices can change their
desired entitlement level at any point in time to address particular needs
(via vio_cmo_set_dev_desired()), not just at device probe time.
VIO bus changes
The system will have a particular entitlement level available from which
it can provide memory to the devices. The bus defines two pools of memory
within this entitlement, the reserved and excess pools. Each device is
provided with it's own entitlement no less than a system defined minimum
entitlement and no greater than what the device has specified as it's
desired entitlement. The entitlement provided to devices comes from the
reserve pool. The reserve pool can also contain a spare allocation as
large as the system defined minimum entitlement which is used for device
hotplug events. Any entitlement not needed to fulfill the needs of a
reserve pool is placed in the excess pool. Each device is guaranteed
that it can map up to it's entitled level; additional mapping are possible
as long as there is unmapped memory in the excess pool.
Bus probe
As the system starts, each device is given an entitlement equal only
to the system defined minimum entitlement. The reserve pool is equal
to the sum of these entitlements, plus a spare allocation. The VIO bus
also tracks the aggregate desired entitlement of all the devices. If the
system desired entitlement is greater than the size of the reserve pool,
when devices unmap IO memory it will be reserved and a balance operation
will be scheduled for some time in the future.
Entitlement balancing
The balance function tries to fairly distribute entitlement between the
devices in the system with the goal of providing each device with it's
desired amount of entitlement. Devices using more than what would be
ideal will have their entitled set-point adjusted; this will effectively
set a goal for lower IO memory usage as future mappings can fail and
deallocations will trigger a balance operation to distribute the newly
unmapped memory. A fair distribution of entitlement can take several
balance operations to achieve. Entitlement changes and device DLPAR
events will alter the state of CMO and will trigger balance operations.
Hotplug events
The VIO bus allows for changes in system entitlement at run-time via
'vio_cmo_entitlement_update()'. When devices are added the hotplug
device event will be preceded by a system entitlement increase and this
is reversed when devices are removed.
The following changes are made that the VIO bus layer for CMO:
* add IO memory accounting per device structure.
* add IO memory entitlement query function to driver structure.
* during vio bus probe, if CMO is enabled, check that driver has
memory entitlement query function defined. Fail if function not defined.
* fail to register driver if io entitlement function not defined.
* create set of dma_ops at vio level for CMO that will track allocations
and return DMA failures once entitlement is reached. Entitlement will
limited by overall system entitlement. Devices will have a reserved
quantity of memory that is guaranteed, the rest can be used as available.
* expose entitlement, current allocation, desired allocation, and the
allocation error counter for devices to the user through sysfs
* provide mechanism for changing a device's desired entitlement at run time
for devices as an exported function and sysfs tunable
* track any DMA failures for entitled IO memory for each vio device.
* check entitlement against available system entitlement on device add
* track entitlement metrics (high water mark, current usage)
* provide function to reset high water mark
* provide minimum and desired entitlement numbers at a bus level
* provide drivers with a minimum guaranteed entitlement
* balance available entitlement between devices to satisfy their needs
* handle system entitlement changes and device hotplug

To support Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO), we need to check
for failure from some of the tce hcalls.
These changes for the pseries platform affect the powerpc architecture;
patches for the other affected platforms are included in this patch.
pSeries platform IOMMU code changes:
* platform TCE functions must handle H_NOT_ENOUGH_RESOURCES errors and
return an error.
Architecture IOMMU code changes:
* Calls to ppc_md.tce_build need to check return values and return
DMA_MAPPING_ERROR for transient errors.
Architecture changes:
* struct machdep_calls for tce_build*_pSeriesLP functions need to change
to indicate failure.
* all other platforms will need updates to iommu functions to match the new
calling semantics; they will return 0 on success. The other platforms
default configs have been built, but no further testing was performed.

For Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO), set the FW_FEATURE_CMO
flag in powerpc_firmware_features from the rtas ibm,get-system-parameters
table prior to calling iommu_init_early_pSeries.
With this, any CMO specific functionality can be controlled by checking:

At the moment the fixed mapping is by default strongly ordered (the
iommu_fixed=weak boot option must be used to make the fixed mapping weakly
ordered). If we're on a setup where the southbridge is being used in
endpoint mode (triblade and CAB boards) the default should be a weakly
ordered fixed mapping.
This adds a check so that if a node of type pcie-endpoint can be found in
the device tree the fixed mapping is set to be weak by default (but can be
overridden using iommu_fixed=strong).
