872fec16d9 [PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlock
First step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.

Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did.  Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.

Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.

If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it).  So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).

Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

d8e998c58a [PATCH] ppc32: Tell userland about lack of standard TB
Glibc is about to get some new high precision timer stuff that relies on
the standard timebase of the PPC architecture.

However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a
bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on
the wrong CPU...

This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current
processor doesn't have a standard timebase.  It's negative logic so that
glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy
on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to
update glibc & kernel at the same time).

a0c111c631 [PATCH] ppc highmem fix
I've noticed that the calculations for seg_size and nr_segs in
__dma_sync_page_highmem() (arch/ppc/kernel/dma-mapping.c) are wrong.  The
incorrect calculations can result in either an oops or a panic when running
fsck depending on the size of the partition.

The problem with the seg_size calculation is that it can result in a
negative number if size is offset > size.  The problem with the nr_segs
caculation is returns the wrong number of segments, e.g.  it returns 1 when
size is 200 and offset is 4095, when it should return 2 or more.

31139971b3 [PATCH] ppc32: support hotplug cpu on powermacs
This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs.  When a cpu
is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled.  It
can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is
connected to a GPIO pin.

With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which
means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code
refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope
with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).

bb0bb3b659 [PATCH] ppc32: Kill init on unhandled synchronous signals
This is a patch that I have had in my tree for ages.  If init causes
an exception that raises a signal, such as a SIGSEGV, SIGILL or
SIGFPE, and it hasn't registered a handler for it, we don't deliver
the signal, since init doesn't get any signals that it doesn't have a
handler for.  But that means that we just return to userland and
generate the same exception again immediately.  With this patch we
print a message and kill init in this situation.

This is very useful when you have a bug in the kernel that means that
init doesn't get as far as executing its first instruction. :)
Without this patch the system hangs when it gets to starting the
userland init; with it you at least get a message giving you a clue
about what has gone wrong.

a2f40ccd29 [PATCH] ppc32: Added support for the Book-E style Watchdog Timer
PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor
core level.  The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies
that can be configured by software.

One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception.  It is left to
board specific code to determine what should happen at this point.  If
nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may
attempt to reset the machine.

Command line parameters:
  wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default)
  wdt=1 : enable watchdog

  wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period.

  The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check
  User Manual for the processor for more details.

This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato.

69be8f1896 [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.

The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).

The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.

The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.

Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.

* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

Fix 44x early serial debugging for big RAM configurations (more than 512M).
 We cannot use default OpenBIOS virtual mapping, because it interferes with
pinned TLB entry.

While we are at it, move early UART mapping to TLB slot 0, so it can
survive longer during boot process (slot 1 is used by the first ioremap
call, effectively killing UART mapping if it occupies this slot).  Also,
change UART TLB entry size to 4K (256M is too much for a bunch of registers
:).  Squash some warnings on the way.

Tested on Ebony and Ocotea with 1G of RAM.

f326d22b8c [PATCH] ppc32: stop misusing NTP's time_offset value
As part of my timeofday rework, I've been looking at the NTP code and I
noticed that the PPC architecture is apparently misusing the NTP's
time_offset (it is a terrible name!) value as some form of timezone offset.

This could cause problems when time_offset changed by the NTP code.  This
patch changes the PPC code so it uses a more clear local variable:
timezone_offset.

2311b1f2bb [PATCH] PCI: fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64.patch
This is an updated version of Ben's fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64.patch
which is in 2.6.12-rc4-mm1.

It fixes the patch to work on PPC iSeries, removes some debug printks
at Ben's request, and incorporates your
fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64-fix.patch also.

Originally from Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This patch was discussed at length on linux-pci and so far, the last
iteration of it didn't raise any comment.  It's effect is a nop on
architecture that don't define the new pci_resource_to_user() callback
anyway.  It allows architecture like ppc who put weird things inside of
PCI resource structures to convert to some different value for user
visible ones.  It also fixes mmap'ing of IO space on those archs.

22e2c507c3 [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced design
This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.

This import is based on my latest from -mm.

Christoph Lameter
3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

6e274d1443 [PATCH] kdump: Use real pt_regs from exception
Makes kexec_crashdump() take a pt_regs * as an argument.  This allows to
get exact register state at the point of the crash.  If we come from direct
panic assertion NULL will be passed and the current registers saved before
crashdump.

This hooks into two places:
die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling
do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal
fault.

die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the
pt_regs and go directly to crash_kexec(). We're probably nested up badly
at this point so this might be the only chance to escape with proper
information.

70765aa4bd [PATCH] kexec: kexec ppc support
I have tweaked this patch slightly to handle an empty list
of pages to relocate passed to relocate_new_kernel.  And
I have added ppc_md.machine_crash_shutdown.  To keep up with
the changes in the generic kexec infrastructure.

From: Albert Herranz <albert_herranz@yahoo.es>

The following patch adds support for kexec on the ppc32 platform.

Non-OpenFirmware based platforms are likely to work directly without
additional changes on the kernel side.  The kexec-tools userland package
may need to be slightly updated, though.

For OpenFirmware based machines, additional work is still needed on the
kernel side before kexec support is ready.  Benjamin Herrenschmidt is
kindly working on that part.

In order for a ppc platform to use the kexec kernel services it must
implement some ppc_md hooks.  Otherwise, kexec will be explicitly disabled,
as suggested by benh.

There are 3+1 new ppc_md hooks that a platform supporting kexec may
implement.  Two of them are mandatory for kexec to work.  See
include/asm-ppc/machdep.h for details.

- machine_kexec_prepare(image)

  This function is called to make any arrangements to the image before it
  is loaded.

  This hook _MUST_ be provided by a platform in order to activate kexec
  support for that platform.  Otherwise, the platform is considered to not
  support kexec and the kexec_load system call will fail (that makes all
  existing platforms by default non-kexec'able).

- machine_kexec_cleanup(image)

  This function is called to make any cleanups on image after the loaded
  image data it is freed.  This hook is optional.  A platform may or may
  not provide this hook.

- machine_kexec(image)

  This function is called to perform the _actual_ kexec.  This hook
  _MUST_ be provided by a platform in order to activate kexec support for
  that platform.

  If a platform provides machine_kexec_prepare but forgets to provide
  machine_kexec, a kexec will fall back to a reboot.

  A ready-to-use machine_kexec_simple() generic function is provided to,
  hopefully, simplify kexec adoption for embedded platforms.  A platform
  may call this function from its specific machine_kexec hook, like this:

void myplatform_kexec(struct kimage *image)
{
        machine_kexec_simple(image);
}

- machine_shutdown()

  This function is called to perform any machine specific shutdowns, not
  already done by drivers.  This hook is optional.  A platform may or may
  not provide this hook.

An example (trimmed) platform specific module for a platform supporting
kexec through the existing machine_kexec_simple follows:

/* ... */

#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC
int myplatform_kexec_prepare(struct kimage *image)
{
        /* here, we can place additional preparations
*/
        return 0; /* yes, we support kexec */
}

void myplatform_kexec(struct kimage *image)
{
        machine_kexec_simple(image);
}
#endif /* CONFIG_KEXEC */

/* ... */

void __init
platform_init(unsigned long r3, unsigned long r4,
unsigned long r5,
              unsigned long r6, unsigned long r7)
{

/* ... */

#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC
        ppc_md.machine_kexec_prepare =
myplatform_kexec_prepare;
        ppc_md.machine_kexec         =
myplatform_kexec;
#endif /* CONFIG_KEXEC */

/* ... */

}

The kexec ppc kernel support has been heavily tested on the GameCube Linux
port, and, as reported in the fastboot mailing list, it has been tested too
on a Moto 82xx ppc by Rick Richardson.

33d9e9b56d [PATCH] ppc32: Add support for Freescale e200 (Book-E) core
The e200 core is a Book-E core (similar to e500) that has a unified L1 cache
and is not cache coherent on the bus.  The e200 core also adds a separate
exception level for debug exceptions.  Part of this patch helps to cleanup a
few cases that are true for all Freescale Book-E parts, not just e500.
