2005-05-01[PATCH] convert that currently tests _NSIG directly to use valid_signal()Jesper Juhl
Convert most of the current code that uses _NSIG directly to instead use valid_signal(). This avoids gcc -W warnings and off-by-one errors. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <juhl-lkml@dif.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-05-01[PATCH] ppc32: Fix address checking on lmw/stmw align exceptionPaul Mackerras
The handling of misaligned load/store multiple instructions did not check to see if the address was ok to access before using __{get,put}_user().

2005-05-01[PATCH] ppc32: refactor FPU exception handlingPaul Mackerras
Moved common FPU exception handling code out of head.S so it can be used by several of the sub-architectures that might of a full PowerPC FPU. Also, uses new CONFIG_PPC_FPU define to fix alignment exception handling for floating point load/store instructions to only occur if we have a hardware FPU.

2005-05-01[PATCH] ppc32: Fix errata for some G3 CPUsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Some G3 CPUs can crash in funny way if a store from an FPU register instruction is executed on a register that has never been initialized since power on. This patch fixes it by making sure all FP registers have been properly initialized at kernel boot and when waking from sleep. It also makes the code that decides wether HID0_BTIC and HID0_DPM are allowed on a given CPU smarter (it can actually _clear_ them now if they are not allowed instead of just setting them when they are allowed in case the firmware got them wrong) Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

3rd argument of sys_debug_setcontext() is also a userland pointer. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-25[PATCH] ppc sparse annotations: emulate_string_inst()Al Viro
replaced declaration of EA from u32 to unsigned long - this beast is used only to cast it to (userland) pointer and proper integer type for that is unsigned long. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-25[PATCH] ppc iomem annotations: ->io_base_virtAl Viro
* ->io_base_virt in struct pci_controller is iomem pointer. Marked as such. Most of the places that used it are already annotated to expect iomem. * places that did gratitious (and wrong) casts a-la isa_io_base = (unsigned long)ioremap(...); hose->io_base_virt = (void *)isa_io_base; turned into hose->io_base_virt = ioremap(...); isa_io_base = (unsigned long)hose->io_base_virt; * pci_bus_io_base() annotated as returning iomem pointer.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: Fix a problem with NTP on !(chrp||gemini)Giovambattista Pulcini
The following problem was found by Giovambattista Pulcini <gpulcini@swintel.it>, who also provided a partial patch, and this has been verified by our time guru Gabriel Paubert <paubert@iram.es>. The problem is that in do_settimeofday() we always set time_state to TIME_ERROR and except on two platforms, never re-set it. This meant that ntp_gettime() and ntp_adjtime() always returned TIME_ERROR, incorrectly. Based on Gabriel's analysis, time_state is used for leap-second processing, and ppc shouldn't be mucking with it.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: Support 36-bit physical addressing on e500Kumar Gala
To add support for 36-bit physical addressing on e500 the following changes have been made. The changes are generalized to support any physical address size larger than 32-bits: * Allow FSL Book-E parts to use a 64-bit PTE, it is 44-bits of pfn, 20-bits of flags. * Introduced new CPU feature (CPU_FTR_BIG_PHYS) to allow runtime handling of updating hardware register (SPRN_MAS7) which holds the upper 32-bits of physical address that will be written into the TLB. This is useful since not all e500 cores support 36-bit physical addressing. * Currently have a pass through implementation of fixup_bigphys_addr * Moved _PAGE_DIRTY in the 64-bit PTE case to free room for three additional storage attributes that may exist in future FSL Book-E cores and updated fault handler to copy these bits into the hardware TLBs.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: fix single-stepping of emulated instructionsPaul Mackerras
On ppc, we emulate instructions that cause alignment exceptions. If we are single-stepping an instruction and it causes an alignment exception, we will currently do the next instruction as well before taking the single-step exception. This patch fixes that, so we take the single-step exception after emulating the instruction.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: oops on kernel altivec assist exceptionsPaul Mackerras
If we should happen to get an altivec assist exception while executing in the kernel, we will currently try to handle it and fail, and end up oopsing with (apparently) a segfault. (An altivec assist exception occurs for floating-point altivec instructions with denormalized inputs or outputs if the altivec unit is in java mode.) This patch checks explicitly if we are in user mode and prints a useful message if not.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: fix bogosity in process-freezing codePaul Mackerras
The code that went into arch/ppc/kernel/signal.c recently to handle process freezing seems to contain a dubious assumption: that a process that calls do_signal when PF_FREEZE is set will have entered the kernel because of a system call. This patch removes that assumption. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
