2006-11-01[POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systemsLinas Vepstas
The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by numerous error messages: iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1 Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card. This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE and then uses this in all the places that matter. As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW is still 4k). In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW page sizes in the iommu itself.

Better late than never... Respin based on previous comment. Only remaining issue last time was an extra mb() that I've taken out. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Experimental support for new G5 Macs (#2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds some very basic support for the new machines, including the Quad G5 (tested), and other new dual core based machines and iMac G5 iSight (untested). This is still experimental ! There is no thermal control yet, there is no proper handing of MSIs, etc.. but it boots, I have all 4 cores up on my machine. Compared to the previous version of this patch, this one adds DART IOMMU support for the U4 chipset and thus should work fine on setups with more than 2Gb of RAM.

2005-11-02[PATCH] powerpc: Move dart.hDavid Gibson
asm-ppc64/dart.h is included in exactly one place - arch/powerpc/sysdev/u3_iommu.c. This patch, therefore, moves it into arch/powerpc/sysdev. While we're at it, update the #ifndef/#define protecting the include, and the filename in the comments of u3_iommu.c. Built and booted on pSeries and G5, built for ppc32 powermac.
