2009-08-20powerpc: Use names rather than numbers for SPRGs (v2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt
The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer. We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc.. and the current choice isn't always the best. This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to what those are used for on each processor family. The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all the SPRGs.

2009-06-15powerpc: Enable additional BAT registers in setup_745x_specifics()Gerhard Pircher
Currently the kernel expects the additional four IBAT and DBAT registers to be available, but doesn't enable these registers on 745x CPUs, which have them disabled after reset. Thus set the HIGH_BAT_EN bit in HID0 register, if the corresponding MMU feature is defined.

2009-03-24powerpc/mm: e300c2/c3/c4 TLB errata workaroundKumar Gala
Complete workaround for DTLB errata in e300c2/c3/c4 processors. Due to the bug, the hardware-implemented LRU algorythm always goes to way 1 of the TLB. This fix implements the proposed software workaround in form of a LRW table for chosing the TLB-way.

2008-04-21[POWERPC] ppc32: Fix errata for 603 CPUsKumar Gala
603 CPUs have the same issue that some 750 CPUs have in that they can crash in funny ways if a store from an FPU register instruction is executed on a register that has never been initialized since power on. This patch fixes it by making sure all FP registers have been properly initialized at kernel boot. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
