      [PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinit · b282b6f8
      Gautham R Shenoy authored 
      
Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'

This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
defined as __devinit
AND
__cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.

Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
we get a .text refering .init.data warning.

This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
are of __init type.

Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
land up in .init section.

Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.

      [POWERPC] Fix manual assembly WARN_ON() in enter_rtas(). · 007d88d0
      David Woodhouse authored 
      
When we switched over to the generic BUG mechanism we forgot to change
the assembly code which open-codes a WARN_ON() in enter_rtas(), so the
bug table got corrupted.

This patch provides an EMIT_BUG_ENTRY macro for use in assembly code,
and uses it in entry_64.S. Tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE on ppc64
but not without -- I tried to turn it off but it wouldn't go away; I
suspect Aunt Tillie probably needed it.

This version gets __FILE__ and __LINE__ right in the assembly version --
rather than saying include/asm-powerpc/bug.h line 21 every time which is
a little suboptimal.

      [PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls · 5cbded58
      Robert P. J. Day authored 
      
Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

      [POWERPC] Generic BUG for powerpc · 73c9ceab
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored 
      
This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery.  The biggest reports the
function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general.

There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several
functions.

Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG
macro includes a goto loop.  This will generate a real jmp instruction, which
is never used.

      [POWERPC] Only export __mtdcr/__mfdcr if CONFIG_PPC_DCR is set · 45d8e7aa
      Kumar Gala authored 
      
On 85xx we don't build in dcr support because the core doesn't implement the
instructions.  This caused problems when building an 85xx kernel.  Additionally
made it so we only build __mtdcr/__mfdcr if we are CONFIG_PPC_DCR_NATIVE.

The 85xx build issue wasPointed out by Dai Haruki.

      [POWERPC] Fix irq routing on some 32-bit PowerMacs · dae4828d
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      
The changes to use pci_read_irq_line() broke interrupt parsing
on some 32-bit powermacs (oops).  The reason is a bit obscure.
The code to parse interrupts happens earlier now, during
pcibios_fixup() as the PCI bus is being probed.  However, the
current implementation pci_device_to_OF_node() for 32-bit
powerpc relies, on machines like PowerMac which renumber PCI buses,
on a table called pci_OF_bus_map containing a map of bus numbers
between the kernel and the firmware which is setup only later.
Thus, it fails to match the device node.  In addition, some of
Apple internal PCI devices lack a proper PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN, thus
preventing the fallback mapping code to work.

This patch fixes it by making pci_device_to_OF_node() 32-bit
implementation use a different algorithm that works without
using the pci_OF_bus_map thing (which I intend to deprecate
anyway). It's a bit slower but that function isn't called in
any hot path hopefully.

      [POWERPC] Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodes · 0204568a
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      
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.
