Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc

2013-09-06T17:49:42+00:00

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window.  Some of the
  highlights are:

   - A bunch of endian fixes ! We don't have full LE support yet in that
     release but this contains a lot of fixes all over arch/powerpc to
     use the proper accessors, call the firmware with the right endian
     mode, etc...

   - A few updates to our "powernv" platform (non-virtualized, the one
     to run KVM on), among other, support for bridging the P8 LPC bus
     for UARTs, support and some EEH fixes.

   - Some mpc51xx clock API cleanups in preparation for a clock API
     overhaul

   - A pile of cleanups of our old math emulation code, including better
     support for using it to emulate optional FP instructions on
     embedded chips that otherwise have a HW FPU.

   - Some infrastructure in selftest, for powerpc now, but could be
     generalized, initially used by some tests for our perf instruction
     counting code.

   - A pile of fixes for hotplug on pseries (that was seriously
     bitrotting)

   - The usual slew of freescale embedded updates, new boards, 64-bit
     hiberation support, e6500 core PMU support, etc..."

powerpc: Better split CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_PIO and CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_MMIO

2013-08-14T04:57:50+00:00

Remove the generic PPC_INDIRECT_IO and ensure we only add overhead
to the right accessors. IE. If only CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_PIO is set,
we don't add overhead to all MMIO accessors.

powerpc/pmac: Early debug output on screen on 64-bit macs

2013-08-14T04:57:40+00:00

We have a bunch of CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_* options that are intended
for bringup/debug only. They hard wire a machine specific udbg backend
very early on (before we even probe the platform), and use whatever
tricks are available on each machine/cpu to be able to get some kind
of output out there early on.

So far, on powermac with no serial ports, we have CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_BOOTX
to use the low-level btext engine on the screen, but it doesn't do much, at
least on 64-bit. It only really gets enabled after the platform has been
probed and the MMU enabled.

This adds a way to enable it much earlier. From prom_init.c (while still
running with Open Firmware), we grab the screen details and set things up
using the physical address of the frame buffer.

Then btext itself uses the "rm_ci" feature of the 970 processor (Real
Mode Cache Inhibited) to access it while in real mode.

We need to do a little bit of reorg of the btext code to inline things
better, in order to limit how much we touch memory while in this mode as
the consequences might be ... interesting.

This successfully allowed me to debug problems early on with the G5
(related to gold being broken vs. ppc64 kernels).

powerpc/85xx: Move ePAPR paravirt initialization earlier

2013-08-07T23:38:06+00:00

At console init, when the kernel tries to flush the log buffer
the ePAPR byte-channel based console write fails silently,
losing the buffered messages.
This happens because The ePAPR para-virtualization init isn't
done early enough so that the hcall instruction to be set,
causing the byte-channel write hcall to be a nop.
To fix, change the ePAPR para-virt init to use early device
tree functions and move it in early init.

powerpc/kvm: Contiguous memory allocator based RMA allocation

2013-07-08T14:20:20+00:00

Older version of power architecture use Real Mode Offset register and Real Mode Limit
Selector for mapping guest Real Mode Area. The guest RMA should be physically
contigous since we use the range when address translation is not enabled.

This patch switch RMA allocation code to use contigous memory allocator. The patch
also remove the the linear allocator which not used any more

powerpc/kvm: Contiguous memory allocator based hash page table allocation

2013-07-08T14:19:58+00:00

Powerpc architecture uses a hash based page table mechanism for mapping virtual
addresses to physical address. The architecture require this hash page table to
be physically contiguous. With KVM on Powerpc currently we use early reservation
mechanism for allocating guest hash page table. This implies that we need to
reserve a big memory region to ensure we can create large number of guest
simultaneously with KVM on Power. Another disadvantage is that the reserved memory
is not available to rest of the subsystems and and that implies we limit the total
available memory in the host.

This patch series switch the guest hash page table allocation to use
contiguous memory allocator.

powerpc/smp: Section mismatch from smp_release_cpus to __initdata spinning_secondaries

2013-07-01T01:49:27+00:00

the smp_release_cpus is a normal funciton and called in normal environments,
  but it calls the __initdata spinning_secondaries.
  need modify spinning_secondaries to match smp_release_cpus.

the related warning:
  (the linker report boot_paca.33377, but it should be spinning_secondaries)

WARNING: arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x23176): Section mismatch in reference from the function .smp_release_cpus() to the variable .init.data:boot_paca.33377
The function .smp_release_cpus() references

This is often because .smp_release_cpus lacks a __initdata
