4da727ae2a powerpc: Print progress of ibm,client-architecture method
The ibm,client-architecture method will often cause a reconfiguration reboot.
When this happens the last thing we see is:

	Hypertas detected, assuming LPAR !

Which doesn't explain what just happened.  Wrap the ibm,client-architecture
so it's clear what is going on:

	Calling ibm,client-architecture... done

In order to maintain the law of conservation of screen real estate, downgrade

91a0030295 powerpc: Sync RPA note in zImage with kernel's RPA note
Commit 9b09c6d909 ("powerpc: Change the
default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the
real-base value in the CHRP note added by the addnote program from
12MB to 32MB to give more space for Open Firmware to load the zImage.
(The real-base value says where we want OF to position itself in
memory.)  However, this change was ineffective on most pSeries
machines, because the RPA note added by addnote has the "ignore me"
flag set to 1.  This was intended to tell OF to ignore just the RPA
note, but has the side effect of also making OF ignore the CHRP note
(at least on most pSeries machines).

To solve this we have to set the "ignore me" flag to 0 in the RPA
note.  (We can't just omit the RPA note because that is equivalent to
having an RPA note with default values, and the default values are not
what we want.)  However, then we have to make sure the values in the
zImage's RPA note match up with the values that the kernel supplies
later in prom_init.c with either the ibm,client-architecture-support
call or the process-elf-header call in prom_send_capabilities().

So this sets the "ignore me" flag in the RPA note in addnote to 0, and
adjusts the RPA note values in addnote.c and in prom_init.c to be
consistent with each other and with the values in ibm_architecture_vec.

However, since the wrapper is independent of the kernel, this doesn't
ensure that the notes will stay consistent.  To ensure that, this adds
code to addnote.c so that it can extract the kernel's RPA note from
the kernel binary and put that in the zImage.  To that end, we put the
kernel's fake ELF header (which contains the kernel's RPA note) into
its own section, and arrange for wrapper to pull out that section with
objcopy and pass it to addnote, which then extracts the RPA note from
it and transfers it to the zImage.

549e8152de powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable
This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set.  This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations.  (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)

The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run.  In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel.  This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.

This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler.  With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).

With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.

1f6a93e4c3 powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel
This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to
the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to
have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel.  Now,
instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top
32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and
ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of
the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset.

This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for
the handler with a load from the paca.  That makes it unnecessary to
have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit
mode.

We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code,
which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to
.slb_miss_realmode any more.  Instead we have to compute the address
and do an indirect branch.  This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE;
for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before.  (A later
change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.)

Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100
bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is,
we can't use a direct branch to get there.  Instead this changes
__secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer.  When it
is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function
pointed to by that value.

Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit
by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU
spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

7f4392cdcc [POWERPC] Efika: Really, don't pretend to be CHRP
Fedora 9 works on Efika without the separate 'device-tree supplement',
thanks to the kernel's own fixups. With one exception -- because 'CHRP'
still appears on the 'machine:' line in /proc/cpuinfo, the installer
misdetects the platform and misconfigures yaboot, putting it into a PReP
boot partition instead of in the /boot filesystem where the Efika's
firmware could find it.

The kernel's fixups for Efika already correct one instance of 'chrp', in
the 'device_type' property. This fixes it in the 'CODEGEN,description'
property too, since that's what's exposed to userspace in /proc/cpuinfo.

94d2dde738 [POWERPC] Efika: prune fixups and make them more carefull
Prune back Efika fixups to only include changes that are actually required
to get a working system.  Most of the drivers can accept the compatible
properties, even if they don't match the what is recommented in the generic
names recommended practice document.

This patch also adds extra checks so that fixups are not performed blindly.
Instead, the code first verifies that the device tree is faulty before
making any changes.  This way, if the Efika firmware is updated to fix
these issues, then the fixups will no longer get applied.

At this point; here is the list of fixups needed for the efika:
1. If the device_type property on the root node is 'chrp', then Linux won't
   boot.  Change device_type to 'efika' to avoid this condition
2. Add full interrupt list to the bestcomm node.  In actual fact, the
   bestcomm interrupts property is technically correct, it just doesn't
   expose the same granularity as the device driver expects.  All other
   5200 device trees provide a separate irq number for each bestcomm
   channel.  Rather than hack the driver, it's simpler to fix it up
3. /builtin/sound node is missing an interrupts property
4. /builtin/ethernet node is missing a phy-handle property and the
   device driver doesn't know what to do without one.

d8c391a559 [POWERPC] Donate idle CPU cycles on dedicated partitions
A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a
shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it
(via the HMC).

This enables that to work properly on P6.

This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the
VPA.  To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and
have the donate bit set in the VPA.  Then call H_CEDE.

The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated
CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to
increase the capacity of the shared CPU pool.

Also rename the VPA's cpuctls_task_attrs field to a more accurate name.

0204568a08 [POWERPC] Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodes
For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an
alternative, more compact representation for the information about the
memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information.  This
adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation.

The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can
handle the alternative representation.  There is however a subtlety
here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory
representation we request is different from the representation that
firmware is currently using.  This is because firmware can't change
the representation on the fly.  Further, some firmware versions used
on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine
with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel
booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000).  Because of
this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we
do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines.
We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the
ibm,client-architecture-support call.

machines returns -1 and 1 respectively when getprop is called for the
bootargs property of /chosen, causing Linux to ignore its builtin
command line in favor of a null string.  This patch makes Linux use its
builtin command line if getprop returns an error or a null string.

133dda1e4f [PATCH] powerpc: Fix cell blade detection
The IBM Cell blade firmware might confuse the kernel to think it's a
pSeries machine. This fixes it for now. With a bit of luck, the firmware
will be updated to avoid that in the future but currently that patch is
needed.

33b7497794 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix call to ibm,client-architecture-support
The code in prom_init.c calling the firmware
ibm,client-architecture-support method on pSeries has a bug where it
fails to properly pass the instance handle of the firmware object when
trying to call a method. Result ranges from the call doing nothing to
the firmware crashing. (Found by Segher, thanks !)

54f4ee183a [PATCH] powerpc: fix RTC/NVRAM accesses on Maple
Due to a firmware device tree bug, RTC and NVRAM accesses (including
halt/reboot) on Maple have been broken since January, when an untested
build fix went in. This code patches the device tree in Linux.

4d1f3f25d9 [PATCH] powerpc: Auto reserve of device tree blob
A devtree compiler (dtc) generated devtree blob is "relocatable" and so
does not contain a reserved_map entry for the blob itself.  This means
that if passed to Linux, Linux will not get lmb_reserve() the blob and
it could be over.  The following patch will explicitly reserve the
"blob" as it was given to us and stops prom_init.c from creating a
reserved mapping for the blob.

NOTE: that the dtc/kexec should not generate the blob reservation entry.
Although if they do, LMB reserver handles overlaps.
