Forthcoming machines will extend the FPSCR to 64 bits. We already
had a 64-bit save area for the FPSCR, but we need to use a new form
of the mtfsf instruction. Fortunately this new form is decoded as
an ordinary mtfsf by existing 64-bit processors.

zImage will set /chosen/bootargs (if it is otherwise empty) with the

Instead of trying to make PPC64 MSI fit in a Intel-centric MSI layer, a
simple short-term solution is to hook the pci_{en/dis}able_msi() calls
and make a machdep call.
The rest of the MSI functions are superfluous for what is needed at this
time. Many of which can have machdep calls added as needed.
Ben and Michael Ellerman are looking into rewrite the MSI layer to be
more generic. However, in the meantime this works as a interim
solution.

The push_end macro in arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_32.c uses integer
division and multiplication to achieve the effect of rounding a
resource end address up and then advancing it to the end of a
power-of-2 sized region. This changes it to an equivalent computation
that only needs an integer add and OR. This is partly based on an
earlier patch by Mel Gorman.

Some POWER5+ machines can do 64k hardware pages for normal memory but
not for cache-inhibited pages. This patch lets us use 64k hardware
pages for most user processes on such machines (assuming the kernel
has been configured with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y). User processes
start out using 64k pages and get switched to 4k pages if they use any
non-cacheable mappings.
With this, we use 64k pages for the vmalloc region and 4k pages for
the imalloc region. If anything creates a non-cacheable mapping in
the vmalloc region, the vmalloc region will get switched to 4k pages.
I don't know of any driver other than the DRM that would do this,
though, and these machines don't have AGP.
When a region gets switched from 64k pages to 4k pages, we do not have
to clear out all the 64k HPTEs from the hash table immediately. We
use the _PAGE_COMBO bit in the Linux PTE to indicate whether the page
was hashed in as a 64k page or a set of 4k pages. If hash_page is
trying to insert a 4k page for a Linux PTE and it sees that it has
already been inserted as a 64k page, it first invalidates the 64k HPTE
before inserting the 4k HPTE. The hash invalidation routines also use
the _PAGE_COMBO bit, to determine whether to look for a 64k HPTE or a
set of 4k HPTEs to remove. With those two changes, we can tolerate a
mix of 4k and 64k HPTEs in the hash table, and they will all get
removed when the address space is torn down.

Doing PCI config space accesses to non-present PCI slots
can result in fatal JBUS errors if the PCI config access
hypervisor call is performed on cpus other than the boot
cpu.
PCI config space accesses to present PCI slots works just
fine.
Recursively traverse the OBP device tree under the PCI
controller node and record all present device IDs into
a small hash table.
Avoid the hypervisor call for any PCI config space access
attempt for a device not recorded in the hash table.

This gives the ability to control whether alignment exceptions get
fixed up or reported to the process as a SIGBUS, using the existing

This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change
their endian mode via prctl.
This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up
alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for
"PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian.
We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for
little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian
user/kernel ABI. If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is
restored to what it was when the signal was delivered.
We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and
one for true little-endian. Most of the classic 32-bit processors
support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature
table. There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland
in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry.
This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard.

When debugging early kernel crashes that happen after console_init() and
before a proper console driver takes over, we often have to go hack into
udbg.c to prevent it from unregistering so we can "see" what is
happening. This patch adds a kernel command line option "udbg-immortal"
instead to avoid having to modify the kernel.

This patch attempts to handle RTAS "busy" return codes in a more simple
and consistent manner. Typical callers of RTAS shouldn't have to
manage wait times and delay calls.
This patch also changes the kernel to use msleep() rather than udelay()
when a runtime delay is necessary. This will avoid CPU soft lockups
for extended delay conditions.

Our MMU hash management code would not set the "C" bit (changed bit) in
the hardware PTE when updating a RO PTE into a RW PTE. That would cause
the hardware to possibly to a write back to the hash table to set it on
the first store access, which in addition to being a performance issue,
might also hit a bug when running with native hash management (non-HV)
as our code is specifically optimized for the case where no write back
happens.
Thus there is a very small therocial window were a hash PTE can become
corrupted if that HPTE has just been upgraded to read write, a store
access happens on it, and that races with another processor evicting
that same slot. Since eviction (caused by an almost full hash) is
extremely rare, the bug is very unlikely to happen fortunately.
This fixes by allowing the updating of the protection bits in the native
hash handling to also set (but not clear) the "C" bit, and, in order to
also improve performances in the general case, by always setting that
bit on newly inserted hash PTE so that writeback really never happens.

I have tested PPC_PTRACE_GETREGS and PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS on umview.
I do not understand why historically these tags has been defined as
PPC_PTRACE_GETREGS and PPC_PTRACE_SETREGS instead of simply
PTRACE_[GS]ETREGS. The other "originality" is that the address must be
put into the "addr" field instead of the "data" field as stated in the

This patch fixes a kernel panic during boot that occurs on NVIDIA platforms
that have HPET enabled.
When HPET is enabled, the standard timer IRQ is routed to IOAPIC pin 2 and is
advertised as such in the ACPI APIC table - but an earlier workaround in the
kernel was ignoring this override. The fix is to honor timer IRQ overrides
from ACPI when HPET is detected on an NVIDIA platform.
