Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

powerpc: Make function that parses RTAS error logs global

2012-03-28T00:31:58+00:00

The IO event interrupt code has a function that finds specific
sections in an RTAS error log. We want to use it in the EPOW
code so make it global.

Rename things to make it less cryptic:

find_xelog_section() -> get_pseries_errorlog()
struct pseries_elog_section -> struct pseries_errorlog

powerpc: Punch a hole in /dev/mem for librtas

2011-12-08T03:22:52+00:00

With CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y, user space cannot read any part of /dev/mem.
Since this breaks librtas, punch a hole in /dev/mem to allow access to the
rmo_buffer that librtas needs.

Anton Blanchard reported the problem and helped with the fix.

A quick test for this patch:

       # cat /proc/rtas/rmo_buffer
       000000000f190000 10000

       # python -c "print 0x000000000f190000 / 0x10000"
       3865

       # dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/foo count=1 bs=64k skip=3865

powerpc/pseries: Cancel RTAS event scan before firmware flash

2011-11-25T03:11:29+00:00

The RTAS firmware flash update is conducted using an RTAS call that is
serialized by lock_rtas() which uses spin_lock. While the flash is in
progress, rtasd performs scan for any RTAS events that are generated by
the system. rtasd keeps scanning for the RTAS events generated on the
machine. This is performed via workqueue mechanism. The rtas_event_scan()
also uses an RTAS call to scan the events, eventually trying to acquire
the spin_lock before issuing the request.

The flash update takes a while to complete and during this time, any other
RTAS call has to wait. In this case, rtas_event_scan() waits for a long time
on the spin_lock resulting in a soft lockup.

Fix: Just before the flash update is performed, the queued rtas_event_scan()
work item is cancelled from the work queue so that there is no other RTAS
call issued while the flash is in progress. After the flash completes, the
system reboots and the rtas_event_scan() is rescheduled.

powerpc/nvram: Add compression to fit more oops output into NVRAM

2011-09-19T23:19:46+00:00

Capture more than twice as much text from the printk buffer, and
compress it to fit it in the lnx,oops-log NVRAM partition.  You
can view the compressed text using the new (as of July 20) --unzip
option of the nvram command in the powerpc-utils package.

powerpc/pseries: Rename RAS_VECTOR_OFFSET to RTAS_VECTOR_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT and move to rtas.h

2010-07-09T01:28:31+00:00

The RAS code has a #define, RAS_VECTOR_OFFSET, that's used in the
check-exception RTAS call for the vector offset of the exception.

We'll be using this same vector offset for the upcoming IO Event interrupts
code (0x500) so let's move it to include/asm/rtas.h and call it
RTAS_VECTOR_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT.
