6ea671a12f [PATCH] powerpc: tidy-up of_register_driver()/driver_register() return values
Remove the assumption that driver_register() returns the number of devices
bound to the driver.  In fact, it returns zero for success or a negative
error value.

Nobody uses the return value of of_register_driver() anyway.

f8642ebee8 [PATCH] powerpc: Remove calculation of io hole
In mm_init_ppc64() we calculate the location of the "IO hole", but then
no one ever looks at the value. So don't bother.

That's actually all mm_init_ppc64() does, so get rid of it too.

 - Make mf_display_progress() check mf_initialized rather than the caller.
 - Set mf_initialized in mf_init() rather than in setup.c
 - Then move mf_initialized into mf.c, the only place it's used.
 - Move the mf related logic from iSeries_progress() to mf_display_progress()
 - Use a #define to size the pending_event_prealloc array
 - Use that define in the initialsation loop rather than sizeof jiggery pokery
 - Remove stupid comment(s)
 - Mark stuff static and/or __init

57cfb814f6 [PATCH] powerpc: Replace platform_is_lpar() with a firmware feature
It has been decreed that platform numbers are evil, so as a step in that
direction, replace platform_is_lpar() with a FW_FEATURE_LPAR bit.

Currently FW_FEATURE_LPAR really means i/pSeries LPAR, in the future we might
have to clean that up if we need to be more specific about what LPAR actually
means. But that's another patch ...

caf80e579b [PATCH] powerpc: Unconfuse htab_bolt_mapping() callers
htab_bolt_mapping() takes a vstart and pstart parameter, but all but one of
its callers actually pass it vstart and vstart. Luckily before it passes
paddr (calculated from paddr) to the hpte_insert routines it calls
virt_to_abs() (aka. __pa()) on the address, so there isn't actually a bug.

map_io_page() however does pass pstart properly, so currently it's broken
AFAICT because we're calling __pa(paddr) which will get us something very
large. Presumably no one's calling map_io_page() in the right context.

Anyway, change htab_bolt_mapping() callers to properly pass pstart, and then
use it properly in htab_bolt_mapping(), ie. don't call __pa() on it again.

Booted on p5 LPAR, iSeries and Power3.

482ec7c403 [PATCH] powerpc numa: Support sparse online node map
The powerpc numa code unconditionally onlines all nodes from 0 to the
highest node id found, regardless of whether cpus or memory are
present in the nodes.  This wastes 8K per node and complicates some
cpu and memory hotplug situations, such as adding a resource that
doesn't map to one of the nodes discovered at boot.

Set nodes online as resources are scanned.  Fall back to node 0 only
when we're sure this isn't a NUMA machine.

Instead of defaulting to node 0 for cases of hot-adding a resource
which doesn't belong to any initialized node, assign it to the first
online node.

While adding USB support to an MV64360 based board this week, I

0a45d4491d powerpc: Fix problem with time going backwards
The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side
effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by
gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond.  There were two reasons:
(1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31
timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and
(2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of
jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards
when the timebase factor gets reduced.

This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in
2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b)
adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday
result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock
and the timer interrupt is late).  In this case the adjustment will
reduce to zero eventually because of (a).

82dfdcae0d powerpc: Disallow lparcfg being a module
The lparcfg code needs several things which are pretty arcane internal
details and which we don't want to export, which means that lparcfg
doesn't work when built as a module.  This makes it a bool instead of
a tristate in the Kconfig so that users can't try to build it as a
module.

c33d4568ac [PATCH] x86-64: Fix up handling of non canonical user RIPs
EM64T CPUs have somewhat weird error reporting for non canonical RIPs in
SYSRET.

We can't handle any exceptions there because the exception handler would
end up running on the user stack which is unsafe.

To avoid problems any code that might end up with a user touched pt_regs
should return using int_ret_from_syscall.  int_ret_from_syscall ends up
using IRET, which allows safe exceptions.

cdaabbd74b [ARM] iwmmxt thread state alignment
This patch removes the reliance of iwmmxt on hand coded alignments.
Since thread_info is always 8K aligned, specifying that fpstate is
8-byte aligned achieves the same effect without needing to resort
to hand coded alignments.
