Frank Rowand 6020164499 [PATCH] ppc64: change duplicate Kconfig menu "General setup" to "Bus Options"
arch/ppc64/Kconfig defines a "General setup" menu, but also sources
init/Kconfig which also defines a "General setup" menu.  Both of these
menus appear at the top level of make menuconfig.  Having two menus with
the same name is confusing.  This patch renames the ppc64/Kconfig menu to
be "Bus Options" and moves options in this menu which are not bus related
to the end of the "Platform support" menu.

There are many variations among architectures on the exact naming of the
"Bus Options" menu.  I chose to use the simplest one, which is also used
in arch/ppc/Kconfig.

Sam Ravnborg d5950b4355 [NET]: add a top-level Networking menu to *config
Create a new top-level menu named "Networking" thus moving
net related options and protocol selection way from the drivers
menu and up on the top-level where they belong.

To implement this all architectures has to source "net/Kconfig" before
drivers/*/Kconfig in their Kconfig file. This change has been
implemented for all architectures.

Device drivers for ordinary NIC's are still to be found
in the Device Drivers section, but Bluetooth, IrDA and ax25
are located with their corresponding menu entries under the new
networking menu item.

R Sharada fce0d57403 [PATCH] ppc64: kexec support for ppc64
This patch implements the kexec support for ppc64 platforms.

A couple of notes:

1)  We copy the pages in virtual mode, using the full base kernel
    and a statically allocated stack.   At kexec_prepare time we
    scan the pages and if any overlap our (0, _end[]) range we
    return -ETXTBSY.

    On PowerPC 64 systems running in LPAR (logical partitioning)
    mode, only a small region of memory, referred to as the RMO,
    can be accessed in real mode.  Since Linux runs with only one
    zone of memory in the memory allocator, and it can be orders of
    magnitude more memory than the RMO, looping until we allocate
    pages in the source region is not feasible.  Copying in virtual
    means we don't have to write a hash table generation and call
    hypervisor to insert translations, instead we rely on the pinned
    kernel linear mapping.  The kernel already has move to linked
    location built in, so there is no requirement to load it at 0.

    If we want to load something other than a kernel, then a stub
    can be written to copy a linear chunk in real mode.

2)  The start entry point gets passed parameters from the kernel.
    Slaves are started at a fixed address after copying code from
    the entry point.

    All CPUs get passed their firmware assigned physical id in r3
    (most calling conventions use this register for the first
    argument).

    This is used to distinguish each CPU from all other CPUs.
    Since firmware is not around, there is no other way to obtain
    this information other than to pass it somewhere.

    A single CPU, referred to here as the master and the one executing
    the kexec call, branches to start with the address of start in r4.
    While this can be calculated, we have to load it through a gpr to
    branch to this point so defining the register this is contained
    in is free.  A stack of unspecified size is available at r1
    (also common calling convention).

    All remaining running CPUs are sent to start at absolute address
    0x60 after copying the first 0x100 bytes from start to address 0.
    This convention was chosen because it matches what the kernel
    has been doing itself.  (only gpr3 is defined).

    Note: This is not quite the convention of the kexec bootblock v2
    in the kernel.  A stub has been written to convert between them,
    and we may adjust the kernel in the future to allow this directly
    without any stub.

3)  Destination pages can be placed anywhere, even where they
    would not be accessible in real mode.  This will allow us to
    place ram disks above the RMO if we choose.

Andy Whitcroft 641c767389 [PATCH] sparsemem swiss cheese numa layouts
The part of the sparsemem patch which modifies memmap_init_zone() has recently
become a problem.  It changes behavior so that there is a call to
pfn_to_page() for each individual page inside of a node's range:
node_start_pfn through node_end_pfn.  It used to simply do this once, at the
beginning of the node, but having sparsemem's non-contiguous mem_map[]s inside
of a node made it necessary to change.

Mike Kravetz recently wrote a patch which made the NUMA code accept some new
kinds of layouts.  The system's memory was laid out like this, with node 0's
memory in two pieces: one before and one after node 1's memory:

	Node 0: +++++     +++++
	Node 1:      +++++

Previous behavior before Mike's patch was to assign nodes like this:

	Node 0: 00000     XXXXX
	Node 1:      11111

Where the 'X' areas were simply thrown away.  The new behavior was to make the
pg_data_t span node 0 across all of its areas, including areas that are really
node 1's: Node 0: 000000000000000 Node 1: 11111

This wastes a little bit of mem_map space, but ends up being OK, and more
fully utilizes the system's memory.  memmap_init_zone() initializes all of the
"struct page"s for node 0, even for the "hole", but those never get used,
because there is no pfn_to_page() that resolves to those pages.  However, only
calling pfn_to_page() once, memmap_init_zone() always uses the pages that were
allocated for node0->node_mem_map because:

	struct page *start = pfn_to_page(start_pfn);
	// effectively start = &node->node_mem_map[0]
	for (page = start; page < (start + size); page++) {
		init_page_here();...
		page++;
	}

Slow, and wasteful, but generally harmless.

But, modify that to call pfn_to_page() for each loop iteration (like sparsemem
does):

	for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < < (start_pfn + size); pfn++++) {
		page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
	}

And you end up trying to initialize node 1's pages too early, along with bogus
data from node 0.  This patch checks for those weird layouts and declines to
touch the pages, making the more frequent pfn_to_page() calls OK to do.

Arnd Bergmann cebf589c82 [PATCH] ppc64: Add driver for BPA interrupt controllers
Add support for the integrated interrupt controller on BPA
CPUs. There is one of those for each SMT thread.

The mapping of interrupt numbers to HW interrupt sources
is described in arch/ppc64/kernel/bpa_iic.h.

This version hardcodes the 'Spider' chip as the secondary
interrupt controller. That is not really generic for the
architecture, but at the moment it is the only secondary
PIC that exists.

A little more work will be needed on this as soon as
we have boards with multiple external interrupt controllers.

Al Viro 5cae841b13 [PATCH] ISA DMA Kconfig fixes - part 1
A bunch of drivers use ISA DMA helpers or their equivalents for
platforms that have ISA with different DMA controller (a lot of ARM
boxen).  Currently there is no way to put such dependency in Kconfig -
CONFIG_ISA is not it (e.g.  it is not set on platforms that have no ISA
slots, but have on-board devices that pretend to be ISA ones).

New symbol added - ISA_DMA_API.  Set when we have functional
enable_dma()/set_dma_mode()/etc.  set of helpers.  Next patches in the
series will add missing dependencies for drivers that need them.

I'm very carefully staying the hell out of the recurring flamefest on
what exactly CONFIG_ISA would mean in ideal world - added symbol has a
well-defined meaning and for now I really want to treat it as completely
independent from the mess around CONFIG_ISA.

Anton Blanchard 89e09f5ebb [PATCH] ppc64: remove -fno-omit-frame-pointer
During some code inspection using gcc 4.0 I noticed a stack frame was being
created for a number of functions that didnt require it.  For example:

c0000000000df944 <._spin_unlock>:
c0000000000df944:       fb e1 ff f0     std     r31,-16(r1)
c0000000000df948:       f8 21 ff c1     stdu    r1,-64(r1)
c0000000000df94c:       7c 3f 0b 78     mr      r31,r1
c0000000000df950:       7c 20 04 ac     lwsync
c0000000000df954:       e8 21 00 00     ld      r1,0(r1)
c0000000000df958:       38 00 00 00     li      r0,0
c0000000000df95c:       90 03 00 00     stw     r0,0(r3)
c0000000000df960:       eb e1 ff f0     ld      r31,-16(r1)
c0000000000df964:       4e 80 00 20     blr

It turns out we are adding -fno-omit-frame-pointer to ppc64 which is
causing the above behaviour.  Removing that flag results in much better
code:

c0000000000d5b30 <._spin_unlock>:
c0000000000d5b30:       7c 20 04 ac     lwsync
c0000000000d5b34:       38 00 00 00     li      r0,0
c0000000000d5b38:       90 03 00 00     stw     r0,0(r3)
c0000000000d5b3c:       4e 80 00 20     blr

We dont require a frame pointer to debug on ppc64, so remove it.
