357518fa34 [POWERPC] pcibus_to_node fixes
of_node_to_nid returns -1 if the associativity cannot be found. This
means pcibus_to_cpumask has to be careful not to pass a negative index into
node_to_cpumask.

Since pcibus_to_node could be used a lot, and of_node_to_nid is slow (it
walks a list doing strcmps), lets also cache the node in the
pci_controller struct.

Forthcoming machines will extend the FPSCR to 64 bits.  We already
had a 64-bit save area for the FPSCR, but we need to use a new form
of the mtfsf instruction.  Fortunately this new form is decoded as
an ordinary mtfsf by existing 64-bit processors.

204face4fb [POWERPC] MSI abstraction
Instead of trying to make PPC64 MSI fit in a Intel-centric MSI layer, a
simple short-term solution is to hook the pci_{en/dis}able_msi() calls
and make a machdep call.

The rest of the MSI functions are superfluous for what is needed at this
time.  Many of which can have machdep calls added as needed.

Ben and Michael Ellerman are looking into rewrite the MSI layer to be
more generic.  However, in the meantime this works as a interim
solution.

bf72aeba2f powerpc: Use 64k pages without needing cache-inhibited large pages
Some POWER5+ machines can do 64k hardware pages for normal memory but
not for cache-inhibited pages.  This patch lets us use 64k hardware
pages for most user processes on such machines (assuming the kernel
has been configured with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y).  User processes
start out using 64k pages and get switched to 4k pages if they use any
non-cacheable mappings.

With this, we use 64k pages for the vmalloc region and 4k pages for
the imalloc region.  If anything creates a non-cacheable mapping in
the vmalloc region, the vmalloc region will get switched to 4k pages.
I don't know of any driver other than the DRM that would do this,
though, and these machines don't have AGP.

When a region gets switched from 64k pages to 4k pages, we do not have
to clear out all the 64k HPTEs from the hash table immediately.  We
use the _PAGE_COMBO bit in the Linux PTE to indicate whether the page
was hashed in as a 64k page or a set of 4k pages.  If hash_page is
trying to insert a 4k page for a Linux PTE and it sees that it has
already been inserted as a 64k page, it first invalidates the 64k HPTE
before inserting the 4k HPTE.  The hash invalidation routines also use
the _PAGE_COMBO bit, to determine whether to look for a 64k HPTE or a
set of 4k HPTEs to remove.  With those two changes, we can tolerate a
mix of 4k and 64k HPTEs in the hash table, and they will all get
removed when the address space is torn down.

fab5db97e4 [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl
This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change
their endian mode via prctl.

This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up
alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for
"PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian.

We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for
little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian
user/kernel ABI.  If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is
restored to what it was when the signal was delivered.

We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and
one for true little-endian.  Most of the classic 32-bit processors
support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature
table.  There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland
in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry.

This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard.

c5cf0e30bf [PATCH] powerpc: Fix buglet with MMU hash management
Our MMU hash management code would not set the "C" bit (changed bit) in
the hardware PTE when updating a RO PTE into a RW PTE. That would cause
the hardware to possibly to a write back to the hash table to set it on
the first store access, which in addition to being a performance issue,
might also hit a bug when running with native hash management (non-HV)
as our code is specifically optimized for the case where no write back
happens.

Thus there is a very small therocial window were a hash PTE can become
corrupted if that HPTE has just been upgraded to read write, a store
access happens on it, and that races with another processor evicting
that same slot. Since eviction (caused by an almost full hash) is
extremely rare, the bug is very unlikely to happen fortunately.

This fixes by allowing the updating of the protection bits in the native
hash handling to also set (but not clear) the "C" bit, and, in order to
also improve performances in the general case, by always setting that
bit on newly inserted hash PTE so that writeback really never happens.

2babf5c2ec [PATCH] powerpc: Unify mem= handling
We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out
I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can
clean this mess up.

Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated
above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens
we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it.

This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we
do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify
lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well.

Tested on P5 LPAR, iSeries, F50, 44p. Tested moving device tree on P5 and
44p and F50.

6bfd93c32a powerpc: Fix incorrect might_sleep in __get_user/__put_user on kernel addresses
We have a case where __get_user and __put_user can validly be used
on kernel addresses in interrupt context - namely, the alignment
exception handler, as our get/put_unaligned just do a single access
and rely on the alignment exception handler to fix things up in the
rare cases where the cpu can't handle it in hardware.  Thus we can
get alignment exceptions in the network stack at interrupt level.
The alignment exception handler does a __get_user to read the
instruction and blows up in might_sleep().

Since a __get_user on a kernel address won't actually ever sleep,
this makes the might_sleep conditional on the address being less
than PAGE_OFFSET.

f10a04c034 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings.  Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation.  With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse.  Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.

The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages.  Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.

ac325acd50 [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: clear PCI failure counter if no new failures
The current PCI error recovery system keeps track of the number of PCI card
resets, and refuses to bring a card back up if this number is too large.
The goal of doing this was to avoid an infinite loop of resets if a card is
obviously dead.  However, if the failures are rare, but the machine has a
high uptime, this mechanism might still be triggered; this is too harsh.

This patch will avoids this problem by decrementing the fail count after an
hour.  Thus, as long as a pci card BSOD's less than 6 times an hour, it
will continue to be reset indefinitely.  If it's failure rate is greater
than that, it will be taken off-line permanently.

This patch is larger than it might otherwise be because it changes
indentation by removing a pointless while-loop.  The while loop is not
needed, as the handler is invoked once fo each event (by schedule_work());
the loop is leftover cruft from an earlier implementation.

c256f4b959 [PATCH] powerpc: remove io_page_mask
Cleanup patch which removes the io_page_mask.  It fixes the reset on
some e1000 devices which is needed for clean kexec reboots.  The legacy
devices which broke with this patch (parallel port and PC speaker) have
now been fixed in Linus' tree.

7daa411b81 [PATCH] powerpc: IOMMU support for honoring dma_mask
Some devices don't support full 32-bit DMA address space, which we currently
assume. Add the required mask-passing to the IOMMU allocators.

f39224a8c1 powerpc: Use correct sequence for putting CPU into nap mode
We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into
nap mode.  When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus
started hanging when we put them into nap mode.  Changing to the
recommended sequence fixes that.

The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that
keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode.  Clearly we need some way
to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt,
decrementer, performance monitor) occurs.  Here we use a bit in
the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception
entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return
to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop.
We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can
alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence.

The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing
there too.

This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on
32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to
get trashed.
