2007-07-20sh: update r2d defconfig and fix SH7751R pci compliationMagnus Damm
This patch updates the r2d board support in a few ways: - CPU_SUBTYPE_SH7751R is selected in the defconfig to play well with the r2d board Kconfig entry. Without this the defconfig results in no board enabled. - Enable EARLY_PRINTK. - Enable SH_STANDARD_BIOS - this works well for early printk on the r2d board. - Add "earlyprink=bios" to the cmdline for early serial port output by default. - CONFIG_SUBTYPE_SH7751R support is added to the sh-specific pci makefile.

2007-07-20sh: Make on-chip DMA channel selection explicit.Paul Mundt
Currently this has a prompt to allow users to change it. There's no reason to do this, and it has caused breakage and confusion in the past, so remove it entirely. We'll get rid of this when the whole driver is tidied for the driver model. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2007-07-20sh: cpufreq: clock framework support.Paul Mundt
This gets the SH cpufreq working again. We follow the changes in the AVR32 implementation for wrapping in to the clock framework. CPUs that wish to use this are required to define rate rounding primitives in order to satisfy clk_round_rate(). This works well enough for the common case, though we should look at unifying this driver across all of the platforms that implement clock framework support in one capacity or another. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2007-07-20sh: Support rate rounding for SH7722 FRQCR clocks.Paul Mundt

2007-07-20sh: Implement clk_round_rate() in the clock framework.Paul Mundt

2007-07-20sh: intc - add support for 7780Magnus Damm
This patch converts the cpu specific 7780 setup code to use the new intc controller. Many new vectors are added and also support for external interrupt sense configuration. So with this patch it is now possible to configure external interrupt pins as edge or level triggered using set_irq_type(). No external interrupts are registered by default. Use plat_irq_setup_pins() to select between IRQ or IRL mode. This patch also fixes the Alarm IRQ for the RTC.

2007-07-20sh: intc - improve group supportMagnus Damm
This patch improves intc group support, ie it makes it possible to group interrupts together and mask / unmask the entire group. This also works with priorities, so setting a priority for an entire group is also possible. This patch is needed to properly support certain processors such as the 7780. Fixes for NULL pointers in DECLARE_INTC_DESC() are also included. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2007-07-20sh: push-switch: Correct license string.Paul Mundt

2007-07-20sh: cpufreq: Fix driver dependencies and flag as broken.Paul Mundt
This is only supported on SH-4, so don't expose it for the other CPUs. Additionally, it's suffered some bitrot, so add a BROKEN dependency as well until we fix it up. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2007-07-20sh: IPR/INTC2 IRQ setup consolidation.Magnus Damm
This patch unifies the cpu specific interrupt setup functions for interrupt controller blocks such as ipr, intc2 and intc. There is no point in having separate functions for each interrupt controller, so let's clean this up. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2007-07-20sh: clean up interrupt code for solution engine 7722 boardMagnus Damm
This patch cleans up solution engine 7722 specific interrupt code. The main purpose is to replace the mux function with use of set_irq_chained_handler() and replace hard coded register poking code with set_irq_type(). The board specific interrupts are also moved to start from SE7722_FPGA_IRQ_BASE. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2007-07-20sh: intc - shared IPR and INTC2 controllerMagnus Damm
This is the second version of the shared interrupt controller patch for the sh architecture, fixing up handling of intc_reg_fns[]. The three main advantages with this controller over the existing ones are: - Both priority (ipr) and bitmap (intc2) registers are supported - External pin sense configuration is supported, ie edge vs level triggered - CPU/Board specific code maps 1:1 with datasheet for easy verification This controller can easily coexist with the current IPR and INTC2 controllers, but the idea is that CPUs/Boards should be moved over to this controller over time so we have a single code base to maintain.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either.

2007-07-19i386: Allow KVM on i386 nonpaeAvi Kivity
Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family. Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(), this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae. Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed without constraints. It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).

Provides a way for NMI reported errors on x86 to notify the EDAC subsystem pending ECC errors by writing to a software state variable. Here's the reworked patch. I added an EDAC stub to the kernel so we can have variables that are in the kernel even if EDAC is a module. I also implemented the idea of using the chip driver to select error detection mode via module parameter and eliminate the kernel compile option. Please review/test. Thx!

2007-07-19FRV: work around a possible compiler bugDavid Howells
Work around a possible bug in the FRV compiler. What appears to be happening is that gcc resolves the __builtin_constant_p() in kmalloc() to true, but then fails to reduce the therefore constant conditions in the if-statements it guards to constant results. When compiling with -O2 or -Os, one single spurious error crops up in cpuup_callback() in mm/slab.c. This can be avoided by making the memsize variable const.

2007-07-19define new percpu interface for shared dataFenghua Yu
per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu, but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus. One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the interface to achieve this is not clean. This patch: Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.
