Tony Breeds 71712b4553 [POWERPC] Move iSeries_tb_recal into its own late_initcall.
Currently iSeries will recalibrate the cputime_factors in the first
settimeofday() call.

It seems the reason for doing this is to ensure a resaonable time delta after
time_init().  On current kernels (with udev), this call is made 40-60 seconds
into the boot process, by moving it to a late initcall it is called
approximately 5 seconds after time_init() is called.  This is sufficient to
recalibrate the timebase.

David Gibson 8e561e7eda [POWERPC] Kill typedef-ed structs for hash PTEs and BATs
Using typedefs to rename structure types if frowned on by CodingStyle.
However, we do so for the hash PTE structure on both ppc32 (where it's
called "PTE") and ppc64 (where it's called "hpte_t").  On ppc32 we
also have such a typedef for the BATs ("BAT").

This removes this unhelpful use of typedefs, in the process
bringing ppc32 and ppc64 closer together, by using the name "struct
hash_pte" in both cases.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 3d5134ee83 [POWERPC] Rewrite IO allocation & mapping on powerpc64
This rewrites pretty much from scratch the handling of MMIO and PIO
space allocations on powerpc64.  The main goals are:

 - Get rid of imalloc and use more common code where possible
 - Simplify the current mess so that PIO space is allocated and
   mapped in a single place for PCI bridges
 - Handle allocation constraints of PIO for all bridges including
   hot plugged ones within the 2GB space reserved for IO ports,
   so that devices on hotplugged busses will now work with drivers
   that assume IO ports fit in an int.
 - Cleanup and separate tracking of the ISA space in the reserved
   low 64K of IO space. No ISA -> Nothing mapped there.

I booted a cell blade with IDE on PIO and MMIO and a dual G5 so
far, that's it :-)

With this patch, all allocations are done using the code in
mm/vmalloc.c, though we use the low level __get_vm_area with
explicit start/stop constraints in order to manage separate
areas for vmalloc/vmap, ioremap, and PCI IOs.

This greatly simplifies a lot of things, as you can see in the
diffstat of that patch :-)

A new pair of functions pcibios_map/unmap_io_space() now replace
all of the previous code that used to manipulate PCI IOs space.
The allocation is done at mapping time, which is now called from
scan_phb's, just before the devices are probed (instead of after,
which is by itself a bug fix). The only other caller is the PCI
hotplug code for hot adding PCI-PCI bridges (slots).

imalloc is gone, as is the "sub-allocation" thing, but I do beleive
that hotplug should still work in the sense that the space allocation
is always done by the PHB, but if you unmap a child bus of this PHB
(which seems to be possible), then the code should properly tear
down all the HPTE mappings for that area of the PHB allocated IO space.

I now always reserve the first 64K of IO space for the bridge with
the ISA bus on it. I have moved the code for tracking ISA in a separate
file which should also make it smarter if we ever are capable of
hot unplugging or re-plugging an ISA bridge.

This should have a side effect on platforms like powermac where VGA IOs
will no longer work. This is done on purpose though as they would have
worked semi-randomly before. The idea at this point is to isolate drivers
that might need to access those and fix them by providing a proper
function to obtain an offset to the legacy IOs of a given bus.

Paul Mackerras 974a76f513 [POWERPC] Distinguish POWER6 partition modes and tell userspace
This adds code to look at the properties firmware puts in the device
tree to determine what compatibility mode the partition is in on
POWER6 machines, and set the ELF aux vector AT_HWCAP and AT_PLATFORM
entries appropriately.

Specifically, we look at the cpu-version property in the cpu node(s).
If that contains a "logical" PVR value (of the form 0x0f00000x), we
call identify_cpu again with this PVR value.  A value of 0x0f000001
indicates the partition is in POWER5+ compatibility mode, and a value
of 0x0f000002 indicates "POWER6 architected" mode, with various
extensions disabled.  We also look for various other properties:
ibm,dfp, ibm,purr and ibm,spurr.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 4cb3cee03d [POWERPC] Allow hooking of PCI MMIO & PIO accessors on 64 bits
This patch reworks the way iSeries hooks on PCI IO operations (both MMIO
and PIO) and provides a generic way for other platforms to do so (we
have need to do that for various other platforms).

While reworking the IO ops, I ended up doing some spring cleaning in
io.h and eeh.h which I might want to split into 2 or 3 patches (among
others, eeh.h had a lot of useless stuff in it).

A side effect is that EEH for PIO should work now (it used to pass IO
ports down to the eeh address check functions which is bogus).

Also, new are MMIO "repeat" ops, which other archs like ARM already had,
and that we have too now: readsb, readsw, readsl, writesb, writesw,
writesl.

In the long run, I might also make EEH use the hooks instead
of wrapping at the toplevel, which would make things even cleaner and
relegate EEH completely in platforms/iseries, but we have to measure the
performance impact there (though it's really only on MMIO reads)

Since I also need to hook on ioremap, I shuffled the functions a bit
there. I introduced ioremap_flags() to use by drivers who want to pass
explicit flags to ioremap (and it can be hooked). The old __ioremap() is
still there as a low level and cannot be hooked, thus drivers who use it
should migrate unless they know they want the low level version.

The patch "arch provides generic iomap missing accessors" (should be
number 4 in this series) is a pre-requisite to provide full iomap
API support with this patch.

Linas Vepstas 5d2efba64b [POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systems
The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew
up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by
numerous error messages:

 iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1

Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because
one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when
the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to
exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card.

This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own
unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its
actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE
and then uses this in all the places that matter.

As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance
on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since
we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW
is still 4k).

In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable
in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW
page sizes in the iommu itself.

Paul Mackerras d04c56f73c [POWERPC] Lazy interrupt disabling for 64-bit machines
This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts.  This means
that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
enabled' flag in the paca.  If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
flag in the paca, and returns.  This means that interrupts only
actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.

When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
interrupts got hard-disabled.  If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.

This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.

This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw.  This doesn't
yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
flags.  This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

Cedric Le Goater 9ec52099e4 [PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid
There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled.  The
ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them.  It kills a task, usually init, using a
cached pid (cad_pid).

This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
problem.  The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
modified through systctl with

	/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid

[ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]

It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

Stephen Rothwell e2bf2e26c0 [POWERPC] iseries: remove some gcc 4.1 warnings
gcc 4.1 produces some warnings that say it is ignoring the packed
attribute on some structure elements, so, since all the elements of
these structs are packed, pack the structs instead.
