437a58db57 powerpc: Move remaining .c files from arch/ppc64 to arch/powerpc
This also deletes the now-unused Makefiles under arch/ppc64.

Both of the files moved over could use some merging, but for now I
have moved them as-is and arranged for them to be used only in 64-bit
kernels.  For 32-bit kernels we still use arch/ppc/kernel/idle.c and
drivers/char/generic_nvram.c as before.

f62859bb68 [PATCH] Remove SPAN_OTHER_NODES config definition
The config option SPAN_OTHER_NODES was created so that we could
make pSeries numa layouts work within the DISCONTIG memory model.
Now that DISCONTIG has been replaced by SPARSEMEM, we can eliminate
this option.

I'll be sending a separate patch to Andrew to remove the arch
independent code as pSeries was the only arch that needed this.

5daf9071b5 [PATCH] powerpc: merge align.c
This patch merges align.c, the result isn't quite what was in ppc64 nor
what was in ppc32 :) It should implement all the functionalities of both
though. Kumar, since you played with that in the past, I suppose you
have some test cases for verifying that it works properly before I dig
out the 601 machine ? :)

Since it's likely that I won't be able to test all scenario, code
inspection is much welcome.

6defa38b37 powerpc: Fix delay functions for 601 processors
My earlier merge of delay.h introduced a timebase-based udelay for
32-bit machines but also broke the 601, which doesn't have the
timebase register.  This fixes it by using the 601's RTC register on
the 601, and also moves __delay() and udelay() to be out-of-line in
arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c.  These functions aren't really performance
critical, after all.

5d66da3d71 [PATCH] powerpc: Make the vDSO functions set error code (#2)
The vDSO functions should have the same calling convention as a syscall.
Unfortunately, they currently don't set the cr0.so bit which is used to
indicate an error. This patch makes them clear this bit unconditionally
since all functions currently succeed. The syscall fallback done by some
of them will eventually override this if the syscall fails.

This also changes the symbol version of all vdso exports to make sure
glibc can differenciate between old and fixed calls for existing ones
like __kernel_gettimeofday.

c0ce5c5228 [PATCH] PowerBook 6,1: headphone not detected after suspend
ever since suspend to disk works I had the problem that headphone
(un)plugging doesn't get detected properly anymore after the first
resume.
Reloading the module worked around this ever since, however the real
cause of the problem was that after a resume the driver only got
interrupts on "unplug" not on "plug". Reactivating the headphone status
interrupt in tumbler_resume fixes this. This shouldn't cause
any trouble with software suspend, but it would be nice if somebody
could confirm this:

b5166cc252 [PATCH] powerpc: pci_64 fixes & cleanups
I discovered that in some cases (PowerMac for example) we wouldn't
properly map the PCI IO space on recent kernels. In addition, the code
for initializing PCI host bridges was scattered all over the place with
some duplication between platforms.

This patch fixes the problem and does a small cleanup by creating a
pcibios_alloc_controller() in pci_64.c that is similar to the one in
pci_32.c (just takes an additional device node argument) that takes care
of all the grunt allocation and initialisation work. It should work for
both boot time and dynamically allocated PHBs.

eb07d964b4 [PATCH] ppc32 8xx: update_mmu_cache() needs unconditional tlbie
Currently 8xx fails to boot due to endless pagefaults.

Seems the bug is exposed by the change which avoids flushing the
TLB when not necessary (in case the pte has not changed), introduced
recently:

__handle_mm_fault():

        entry = pte_mkyoung(entry);
        if (!pte_same(old_entry, entry)) {
                ptep_set_access_flags(vma, address, pte, entry, write_access);
                update_mmu_cache(vma, address, entry);
                lazy_mmu_prot_update(entry);
        } else {
                /*
                 * This is needed only for protection faults but the arch code
                 * is not yet telling us if this is a protection fault or not.
                 * This still avoids useless tlb flushes for .text page faults
                 * with threads.
                 */
                if (write_access)
                        flush_tlb_page(vma, address);
        }

The "update_mmu_cache()" call was unconditional before, which caused the TLB
to be flushed by:

        if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
                struct page *page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
                if (!PageReserved(page)
                    && !test_bit(PG_arch_1, &page->flags)) {
                        if (vma->vm_mm == current->active_mm) {
#ifdef CONFIG_8xx
                        /* On 8xx, cache control instructions (particularly 
                         * "dcbst" from flush_dcache_icache) fault as write 
                         * operation if there is an unpopulated TLB entry 
                         * for the address in question. To workaround that, 
                         * we invalidate the TLB here, thus avoiding dcbst 
                         * misbehaviour.
                         */
                                _tlbie(address);
#endif
                                __flush_dcache_icache((void *) address);
                        } else
                                flush_dcache_icache_page(page);
                        set_bit(PG_arch_1, &page->flags);
                }

Which worked to due to pure luck: PG_arch_1 was always unset before, but
now it isnt.

The root of the problem are the changes against the 8xx TLB handlers introduced
during v2.6. What happens is the TLBMiss handlers load the zeroed pte into
the TLB, causing the TLBError handler to be invoked (thats two TLB faults per 
pagefault), which then jumps to the generic MM code to setup the pte.

The bug is that the zeroed TLB is not invalidated (the same reason
for the "dcbst" misbehaviour), resulting in infinite TLBError faults.

The "two exception" approach requires a TLB flush (to nuke the zeroed TLB)
at each PTE update for correct behaviour:

fb6d73d301 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix sparsemem with memory holes [was Re: ppc64 oops..]
This patch should fix the crashes we have been seeing on 64-bit
powerpc systems with a memory hole when sparsemem is enabled.
I'd appreciate it if people who know more about NUMA and sparsemem
than me could look over it.

There were two bugs.  The first was that if NUMA was enabled but there
was no NUMA information for the machine, the setup_nonnuma() function
was adding a single region, assuming memory was contiguous.  The
second was that the loops in mem_init() and show_mem() assumed that
all pages within the span of a pgdat were valid (had a valid struct
page).

I also fixed the incorrect setting of num_physpages that Mike Kravetz
pointed out.

1e185b97b4 [PATCH] ia64: cpu_idle performance bug fix
Our performance validation on 2.6.15-rc1 caught a disastrous performance
regression on ia64 with netperf (-98%) and volanomark (-58%) compares to
previous kernel version 2.6.14-git7.  See the following chart (result
group 1 & 2).

  http://kernel-perf.sourceforge.net/results.machine_id=26.html

We have root caused it to commit 64c7c8f885

This changeset broke the ia64 task resched notification.  In
sched.c:resched_task(), a reschedule IPI is conditioned upon
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG.  However, the above changeset unconditionally set
the polling thread flag for idle tasks regardless whether pal_halt_light
is in use or not.  As a result, resched IPI is not sent from
resched_task().  And since the default behavior on ia64 is to use
pal_halt_light, we end up delaying the rescheduling task until next
timer tick, and thus cause the performance regression.

This fixes the performance bug.  I'm glad our performance suite is
turning up bad performance bug like this in time.

228322f13f [PATCH] v850: Fix show_interrupts
A variable was being used in multiple conflicting ways.  I also restructured
the code a bit for clarity.

d6a1a64aec [PATCH] hfc_usb: fix usb device table
We need to use the USB_DEVICE macro here, else the modinfo aliases go all wrong.

Also, correctly terminate the table, as noted by Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

93588e2284 [PATCH] md: make md threads interruptible again
Despite the fact that md threads don't need to be signalled, and won't
respond to signals anyway, we need to have an 'interruptible' wait, else
they stay in 'D' state and add to the load average.

(akpm: the signal_pending() test is unneeded - we'll fix that up in the next
round.  For now, leave it there because that's how the code used to be).

e8a0033451 [PATCH] md: mark START_ARRAY deprecated with a date
This was marked deprecated "after 2.6" back in the 2.5 days.  But now it
seems there isn't going to be any "after 2.6", and we deprecate by date
now.  So set a date.

1887b93529 [PATCH] knfsd: make sure nfsd doesn't hog a cpu forever
Being kernel-threads, nfsd servers don't get pre-empted (depending on
CONFIG).  If there is a steady stream of NFS requests that can be served
from cache, an nfsd thread may hold on to a cpu indefinitely, which isn't
very friendly.

So it is good to have a cond_resched in there (just before looking for a
new request to serve), to make sure we play nice.
