7d452c326c [POWERPC] powerpc: fix building gdb against asm/ptrace.h
Ulrich Weigand found a bug with the current version of the
asm-powerpc/ptrace.h that prevents building at least the
SPU target version of gdb, since some ptrace opcodes are
not defined.

The problem seems to have originated in the merging of 32 and
64 bit versions of that file, the problem is that some opcodes
are only valid on 64 bit kernels, but are also used by 32 bit
programs, so they can't depends on the __powerpc64__ symbol.

f007cacffc [POWERPC] Fix MMIO ops to provide expected barrier behaviour
This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction
before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected
behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed
to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory.

To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering
between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions
have had an sync added before the load.

Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed
to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb()
is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous
behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required.
Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by
__raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock.  If it is
set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it.

This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX.  32-bit already has a
sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus
doesn't need the per-cpu flag.

Tested on G5 (PPC970) and POWER5.

0024300000 [POWERPC] powerpc: Divorce CPU_FTR_CTRL from CPU_FTR_PPCAS_ARCH_V2_BASE
The performance monitor implementation (including CTRL register behaviour)
is just included in PPC v2 as an example, it's not truly part of the base.

It's actually a somewhat misleading feature, but I'll leave that be for
now: The presence of the register is not what the feature bit is used
for, but instead it's used to determine if it contains the runlatch
bit for idle reporting of the performance monitor. For alternative
implementations, the register might still exist but the bit might have
different meaning (or no meaning at all).

For now, split it off and don't include it in CPU_FTR_PPCAS_ARCH_V2_BASE.

This is required to generate proper core files using kdump on ppc64.

Create a backup region of 64K size irrespective of the PAGE SIZE.
At present 32K was used as backup size. In the case of 64K page size,
second PT_LOAD segments starts at 32K and the first one is not page
aligned.  __ioremap() (crash_dump.c) fails if pfn = 0 which is the
case for the second PT_LOAD segment. This is not an issue for 4K page
size because the the first page (32K backup) is copied to second
kernel memory and thus referencing with the second kernel pfn.

e0d872d536 [POWERPC] Fix problem with time not advancing on 32-bit platforms
This fixes a problem introduced in 5db9fa9593.
The last_jiffy per-cpu variable is only 32 bits on 32-bit machines, but it
was being compared with a 64-bit quantity (tb_next_jiffy), which resulted in
time not advancing.

This fixes it by changing last_jiffy to be 64 bits on all platforms.  With
this, we no longer need tb_last_stamp as a 32-bit version of tb_last_jiffy,
so this gets rid of tb_last_stamp and we just use tb_last_jiffy instead.
This also fixes a bug when the boot cpu is not online, because using
tb_last_stamp could have caused the wrong timebase origin value to be used
when calculating the time of day.

7233593b78 [POWERPC] Support for "weird" MPICs and fixup mpc7448_hpc2
This adds a new hardware information table for mpic. This enables
the mpic code to deal with mpic controllers with different register
layouts and hardware behaviours.

This introduces CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD.  For boards with non standard mpic
controllers, select CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD and add its hardware information
in the mpic_infos[] array.

TSI108/109 PIC takes the first index of weird hardware information
table.  :)  The table can be extended. The Tsi108/109 PIC looks like
standard OpenPIC but, in fact, is different in register mapping and
behavior.

The patch does not affect the behavior of standard mpic.  If
CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD is not defined, the code is essentially identical to
the current code.

[benh@kernel.crashing.org:
This patch is a slightly cleaned up version of Zang Roy's support for
the TSI108 MPIC variant. It also fixes up MPC7448_hpc2 to use the new
version of the type macros and changes the way MPIC is selected in
Kconfig to better match what is done for other system devices.

> kernel BUG in cache_free_debugcheck at mm/slab.c:2748!

Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled.  The
slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary.  The free
path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around
an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers.  With slab debugging turned
on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not.
This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for
the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK.

The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least
significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable
cache types.  Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of
the huge pte pointer.

5db9fa9593 [POWERPC] Fix gettimeofday inaccuracies
There are two problems in the powerpc gettimeofday code which can
cause incorrect results to be returned.

The first is that there is a race between do_gettimeofday and the
timer interrupt:

1. do_gettimeofday does get_tb()

2. decrementer exception on boot cpu which runs timer_recalc_offset,
   which also samples the timebase and updates the do_gtod structure
   with a greater timebase value.

3. do_gettimeofday calls __do_gettimeofday, which leads to the
   negative result from tb_val - temp_varp->tb_orig_stamp.

The second is caused by taking the boot cpu offline, which can cause
the value of tb_last_jiffy to be increased past the currently
available timebase, causing the same underflow as above.

2ec7df0457 [PATCH] libata: rework legacy handling to remove much of the cruft
Kill host_set->next
Fix simplex support
Allow per platform setting of IDE legacy bases

Some of this can be tidied further later on, in particular all the
legacy port gunge belongs as a PCI quirk/PCI header decode to understand
the special legacy IDE rules in the PCI spec.

Longer term Jeff also wants to move the request_irq/free_irq out of core
which will make this even cleaner.

tj: folded in three followup patches - ata_piix-fix, broken-arch-fix
and fix-new-legacy-handling, and separated per-dev xfermask into
separate patch preceding this one.  Folded in fixes are...

* ata_piix-fix: fix build failure due to host_set->next removal
* broken-arch-fix: add missing include/asm-*/libata-portmap.h
* fix-new-legacy-handling:
	* In ata_pci_init_legacy_port(), probe_num was incorrectly
          incremented during initialization of the secondary port and
          probe_ent->n_ports was incorrectly fixed to 1.

	* Both legacy ports ended up having the same hard_port_no.

	* When printing port information, both legacy ports printed
	  the first irq.

To fix this issue, rtas_set_indicator_fast() is added so that will not
wait for RTAS 'busy' delay and this new function is used for kdump (in
xics_teardown_cpu()) and for CPU hotplug ( xics_migrate_irqs_away() and
xics_setup_cpu()).

Note that the platform architecture spec says that set-indicator
on the indicator we're using here is not permitted to return the
busy or extended busy status codes.

b9377ffc3a [POWERPC] clean up pseries hcall interfaces
Our pseries hcall interfaces are out of control:

	plpar_hcall_norets
	plpar_hcall
	plpar_hcall_8arg_2ret
	plpar_hcall_4out
	plpar_hcall_7arg_7ret
	plpar_hcall_9arg_9ret

Create 3 interfaces to cover all cases:

	plpar_hcall_norets:	7 arguments no returns
	plpar_hcall:		6 arguments 4 returns
	plpar_hcall9:		9 arguments 9 returns

There are only 2 cases in the kernel that need plpar_hcall9, hopefully
we can keep it that way.

Pass in a buffer to stash return parameters so we avoid the &dummy1,
&dummy2 madness.

4b755999d6 [PATCH] powermac: More powermac backlight fixes
This patch fixes several problems:
- The legacy backlight value might be set at interrupt time. Introduced
  a worker to prevent it from directly calling the backlight code.
- via-pmu allows the backlight to be grabbed, in which case we need to
  prevent other kernel code from changing the brightness.
- Don't send PMU requests in via-pmu-backlight when the machine is about
  to sleep or waking up.
- More Kconfig fixes.

a9ad965ea9 [PATCH] IA64: kprobe invalidate icache of jump buffer
Kprobe inserts breakpoint instruction in probepoint and then jumps to
instruction slot when breakpoint is hit, the instruction slot icache must
be consistent with dcache.  Here is the patch which invalidates instruction
slot icache area.

Without this patch, in some machines there will be fault when executing
instruction slot where icache content is inconsistent with dcache.
