2005-05-06[PATCH] ppc64: global interrupt queue cleanupPaul Mackerras
Move the code to set global interrupt queue membership to xics.c, and remove no longer needed extern declarations. Also call it on all cpus (even the boot cpu) to prepare for kexec.

The code in reloc_offset is actually subtracting the address in the link register from the address calculated by the linker.

2005-05-05[PATCH] ppc64: fix prom.c compile warningPaul Mackerras
The code in unflatten_device_tree knows that get_property is written to only return with lenp equal to 1 when also returning a valid pointer. The gcc 3.3.3 compiler is not able to prove this to itself, so it warns about a possible uninitialized pointer dereference: .../arch/ppc64/kernel/prom.c: In function `unflatten_device_tree': .../arch/ppc64/kernel/prom.c:828: warning: `p' might be used uninitialized in this function Unless it is desired to rework the interaction between the two functions, this will keep the existing behavior but quiet the compiler.

2005-05-05[PATCH] ppc64: pgtable.h and other header cleanupsDavid Gibson
This patch started as simply removing a few never-used macros from asm-ppc64/pgtable.h, then kind of grew. It now makes a bunch of cleanups to the ppc64 low-level header files (with corresponding changes to .c files where necessary) such as: - Abolishing never-used macros - Eliminating multiple #defines with the same purpose - Removing pointless macros (cases where just expanding the macro everywhere turns out clearer and more sensible) - Removing some cases where macros which could be defined in terms of each other weren't - Moving imalloc() related definitions from pgtable.h to their own header file (imalloc.h) - Re-arranging headers to group things more logically - Moving all VSID allocation related things to mmu.h, instead of being split between mmu.h and mmu_context.h - Removing some reserved space for flags from the PMD - we're not using it. - Fix some bugs which broke compile with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

2005-05-01[PATCH] ppc64: tell firmware about kernel capabilitiesPaul Mackerras
On pSeries systems, according to the platform architecture specs, we are supposed to be supplying a structure to firmware that tells firmware about our capabilities, such as which version of the data structures that describe available memory we are expecting to see. The way we end up having to supply this data structure is a bit gross, since it was designed for AIX and doesn't suit us very well. This patch adds the code to supply this data structure to the firmware.

2005-05-01[PATCH] ppc64: Fix irq parsing on powermacPaul Mackerras
When I tried Ben's patches to the powermac sound driver on my G5, I found that it was taking enormous numbers of sound DMA transmit interrupts. This turned out to be because it was incorrectly configured as level-sensitive instead of edge-sensitive, which in turn was because the code that parses the interrupt tree that Open Firmware gives us was incorrectly assigning another device the same irq number as the sound DMA transmit interrupt (i.e. 1). This patch fixes the problem, in a somewhat quick and dirty way for now, but one which will work for all the machines we currently run on. Ultimately Ben and I want to do something more general and robust, but this should go in for 2.6.12.

2005-05-01[PATCH] ppc64: add PT_NOTE section to vDSOBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch from Roland adds a PT_NOTE section to both 32 and 64 bits vDSOs to expose the kernel version to glibc, thus avoiding a uname syscall on every launch. This is equivalent to the patches Roland posted already for x86 and x86-64. Note: the 64 bits .note is actually using the 32 bits format. This is normal. The ELF spec specifies a different format for 64 bits .note, but for some reason, this was never properly implemented, the core dumps for example are all using 32 bits format .note, and binutils cannot even read a 64 bits format .note. Talking to our toolchain folks, they think we'd rather stick to 32 bits format .note everywhere and get the spec fixed some day ...

2005-04-30[PATCH] ppc64: fix 32-bit signal frame back linkPaul Mackerras
When the kernel creates a signal frame on the user stack, it puts the old stack pointer value at the beginning so that the signal frame is linked into the chain of stack frames like any other frame. Unfortunately, for 32-bit processes we are writing the old stack pointer as a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit value, and the process sees that as a null pointer, since it only looks at the first 32 bits, which are zero since ppc is bigendian and the stack pointer is below 4GB. This bug is in SLES9 and RHEL4 too, hence the ccs. This patch fixes the bug by making the signal code write the old stack pointer as a u32 instead of an unsigned long.

2005-04-29[AUDIT] Don't allow ptrace to fool auditing, log arch of audited syscalls.
We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments, but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that. While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made, because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall. Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register rather than only returning a single register. Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2005-04-27[PATCH] ppc64: Fix return value of some vDSO callsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The ppc vDSO would not properly clear the return value for some calls, which will be a problem when interfacing those calls with glibc. This should be fixed before 2.6.12 is released (as it is the first kernel with the ppc vDSO) so that we don't have to play with symbol versioning and ugly workarounds.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: Detect altivec via firmware on unknown CPUsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch adds detection of the Altivec capability of the CPU via the firmware in addition to the cpu table. This allows newer CPUs that aren't in the table to still have working altivec support in the kernel. It also fixes a problem where if a CPU isn't recognized as having altivec features, and takes an altivec unavailable exception due to userland issuing altivec instructions, the kernel would happily enable it and context switch the registers ... but not all of them (it would basically forget vrsave). With this patch, the kernel will refuse to enable altivec when the feature isn't detected for the CPU (SIGILL).

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: Improve mapping of vDSOBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the proper address). While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should be possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

In arch/ppc64/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c, we are still exporting flush_icache_range, but that has been changed to be an inline in include/asm-ppc64/cacheflush.h which calls __flush_icache_range (defined in arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S).

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: Fix semantics of __ioremapBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch fixes ppc64 __ioremap() so that it stops adding implicitely _PAGE_GUARDED when the cache is not writeback, and instead, let the callers provide the flag they want here. This allows things like framebuffers to explicitely request a non-cacheable and non-guarded mapping which is more efficient for that type of memory without side effects. The patch also fixes all current callers to add _PAGE_GUARDED except btext, which is fine without it.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: very basic desktop g5 sound supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch hacks the current PowerMac Alsa driver to add some basic support of analog sound output to some desktop G5s. It has severe limitations though: - Only 44100Khz 16 bits - Only work on G5 models using a TAS3004 analog code, that is early single CPU desktops and all dual CPU desktops at this date, but none of the more recent ones like iMac G5. - It does analog only, no digital/SPDIF support at all, no native AC3 support Better support would require a complete rewrite of the driver (which I am working on, but don't hold your breath), to properly support the diversity of apple sound HW setup, including dual codecs, several i2s busses, all the new codecs used in the new machines, proper clock switching with digital, etc etc etc... This patch applies on top of the other PowerMac sound patches I posted in the past couple of days (new powerbook support and sleep fixes). Note: This is a FAQ entry for PowerMac sound support with TI codecs: They have a feature called "DRC" which is automatically enabled for the internal speaker (at least when auto mute control is enabled) which will cause your sound to fade out to nothing after half a second of playback if you don't set a proper "DRC Range" in the mixer. So if you have a problem like that, check alsamixer and raise your DRC Range to something reasonable. Note2: This patch will also add auto-mute of the speaker when line-out jack is used on some earlier desktop G4s (and on the G5) in addition to the headphone jack. If that behaviour isn't what you want, just disable auto-muting and use the manual mute controls in alsamixer.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: Fix AGP and sleep againBenjamin Herrenschmidt
My previous patch that added sleep support for uninorth-agp and some AGP "off" stuff in radeonfb and aty128fb is breaking some configs. More specifically, it has problems with rage128 setups since the DRI code for these in X doesn't properly re-enable AGP on wakeup or console switch (unlike the radeon DRM). This patch fixes the problem for pmac once for all by using a different approach. The AGP driver "registers" special suspend/resume callbacks with some arch code that the fbdev's can later on call to suspend and resume AGP, making sure it's resumed back in the same state it was when suspended. This is platform specific for now. It would be too complicated to try to do a generic implementation of this at this point due to all sort of weird things going on with AGP on other architectures. We'll re-work that whole problem cleanly once we finally merge fbdev's and DRI. In the meantime, please apply this patch which brings back some r128 based laptops into working condition as far as system sleep is concerned.

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!
