2005-11-01	[PATCH] powerpc: Merge bitops.h	David Gibson
	Here's a revised version. This re-introduces the set_bits() function from ppc64, which I removed because I thought it was unused (it exists on no other arch). In fact it is used in the powermac interrupt code (but not on pSeries). - We use LARXL/STCXL macros to generate the right (32 or 64 bit) instructions, similar to LDL/STL from ppc_asm.h, used in fpu.S - ppc32 previously used a full "sync" barrier at the end of test_and__bit(), whereas ppc64 used an "isync". The merged version uses "isync", since I believe that's sufficient. - The ppc64 versions of then minix_() bitmap functions have changed semantics. Previously on ppc64, these functions were big-endian (that is bit 0 was the LSB in the first 64-bit, big-endian word). On ppc32 (and x86, for that matter, they were little-endian. As far as I can tell, the big-endian usage was simply wrong - I guess no-one ever tried to use minixfs on ppc64. - On ppc32 find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit() are no longer inline (they were already out-of-line on ppc64). - For ppc64, sched_find_first_bit() has moved from mmu_context.h to the merged bitops. What it was doing in mmu_context.h in the first place, I have no idea. - The fls() function is now implemented using the cntlzw instruction on ppc64, instead of generic_fls(), as it already was on ppc32. - For ARCH=ppc, this patch requires adding arch/powerpc/lib to the arch/ppc/Makefile. This in turn requires some changes to arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile which didn't correctly handle ARCH=ppc. Built and running on G5.

2005-05-05	[PATCH] ppc64: pgtable.h and other header cleanups	David 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.

	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!
