We essentially adopt the 64-bit dma code, with some changes to support
32-bit systems, including HIGHMEM. dma functions on 32-bit are now
invoked via accessor functions which call the correct op for a device based
on archdata dma_ops. If there is no archdata dma_ops, this defaults
to dma_direct_ops.
In addition, the dma_map/unmap_page functions are added to dma_ops
because we can't just fall back on map/unmap_single when HIGHMEM is
enabled. In the case of dma_direct_*, we stop using map/unmap_single
and just use the page version - this saves a lot of ugly
ifdeffing. We leave map/unmap_single in the dma_ops definition,
though, because they are needed by the iommu code, which does not
implement map/unmap_page. Ideally, going forward, we will completely
eliminate map/unmap_single and just have map/unmap_page, if it's
workable for 64-bit.

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)
The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.
This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).
With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.

This bug is causing random crashes
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).
-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.
This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
around the gcc codegen bug.

The file arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c is currently only compiled for
64-bit kernels. It contain code to register CPU sysdevs in sysfs and
add various properties such as cache topology and raw access by root
to performance monitor counters (PMCs). A lot of that can be re-used
as is on 32-bits.
This makes the file be built for both, with appropriate ifdef'ing
for the few bits that are really 64-bit specific, and adds some
support for the raw PMCs for 75x and 74xx processors.

This patch removes the old kgdb reminants from ARCH=powerpc and
implements the new style arch specific stub for the common kgdb core
interface.
It is possible to have xmon and kgdb in the same kernel, but you
cannot use both at the same time because there is only one set of
debug hooks.
The arch specific kgdb implementation saves the previous state of the
debug hooks and restores them if you unconfigure the kgdb I/O driver.
Kgdb should have no impact on a kernel that has no kgdb I/O driver
configured.

As BenH said the other day, it is an "accident" that prom_init.o is
linked with the rest of the kernel. The truth is a little more
subtle, prom_init isn't truly bootloader, it does access kernel data
in a few places.
What we can do is discourage people from adding new code that accesses
data outside of prom_init. And hence this patch; from the script:
# This script checks prom_init.o to see what external symbols it
# is using, if it finds symbols not in the whitelist it returns
# an error. The point of this is to discourage people from
# intentionally or accidentally adding new code to prom_init.c
# which has side effects on other parts of the kernel.

We were using -mno-minimal-toc on everything in arch/powerpc/kernel,
which means that all the functions in there were putting all their
TOC entries in the top-level TOC, and it was overflowing on an
allyesconfig build. For various reasons, prom_init.c does need
-mno-minimal-toc, but the other .c files in there can use sub-TOCs
quite happily. This change is sufficient for now to stop the TOC
overflowing; other directories under arch/powerpc also use
-mno-minimal-toc and could also be changed later if necessary.

Previously, Soft_emulate_8xx was called with no implementation, resulting in
build failures whenever building 8xx without math emulation. The
implementation is copied from arch/ppc to resolve this issue.
However, this sort of minimal emulation is not a very good idea other than
for compatibility with existing userspaces, as it's less efficient than
soft-float and can mislead users into believing they have soft-float. Thus,
it is made a configurable option, off by default.

Commit 8112753bb2c0045398c89d0647792b39805f6d40 made 44x in
ARCH=powerpc builds use cpu setup routines in cpu_setup_44x.S,
but didn't make a similar change for ARCH=ppc, and consequently
the ARCH=ppc builds fail with undefined symbols (since both use
the same cputable.c).
This fixes it by including cpu_setup_44x.S in the ARCH=ppc builds,
and by taking out the now-redundant FPU initialization in
arch/ppc/kernel/head_44x.S.

This patch moves the code in signal_32.c and signal_64.c for handling
syscall restart into a common signal.c file and converge around a single
implementation that is based on the 32 bits one, using trap, ccr
and r3 rather than the special "result" field for deciding what to do.
The "result" field is now pretty much deprecated. We still set it for
the sake of whatever might rely on it in userland but we no longer use
it's content.
This, along with a previous patch that enables ptracers to write to
"trap" and "orig_r3" should allow gdb to properly handle syscall
restarting.

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.

In commit 0fba3a1f39f8b0a50b56c8b068fa52131cbc84c2 (a very long time ago,
May 2006), I fixed a bug that caused powermacs to crash when you tried
entering standby/mem suspend states.
As I'm now getting more familiar with the suspend code I notice a few
more things:
1. we previously misunderstood what pm_ops is for, it isn't supposed to be
for doing platform dependent suspend/resume stuff that needs to be done
for suspend to disk (as we currently try to use it!), it is instead for
entering platform dependent suspend states ("standby", "mem").
2. due to the first point, we never properly save FPU and altivec states
when suspending to disk. It probably hasn't hurt yet because the process
that writes the "disk" to /sys/power/state uses neither and its context
is used.
This patch addresses these points as follows:
1. remove all pm_ops from powermac, powermac suspend to ram isn't currently
usable via /sys/power/state but is done via the PMU instead.
2. move the code responsible for storing FPU/altivec state into
save_processor_state and the set_context() call to restore_processor_state.
3. add a call to kernel_enable_spe()
It may look like there is some code removal missing but that is
actually because the new suspend.h file overrides the ppc/suspend.h
one which was previously used.

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.

This patch first splits of_device.c and of_platform.c, the later containing
the bits relative to of_platform_device's. On the "breaks" side of things,
drivers uisng of_platform_device(s) need to include asm/of_platform.h now
and of_(un)register_driver is now of_(un)register_platform_driver.
In addition to a few utility functions to locate of_platform_device(s),
the main new addition is of_platform_bus_probe() which allows the platform
code to trigger an automatic creation of of_platform_devices for a whole
tree of devices.
The function acts based on the type of the various "parent" devices encountered
from a provided root, using either a default known list of bus types that can be
"probed" or a passed-in list. It will only register devices on busses matching
that list, which mean that typically, it will not register PCI devices, as
expected (since they will be picked up by the PCI layer).
This will be used by Cell platforms using 4xx-type IOs in the Axon bridge
and can be used by any embedded-type device as well.
