2006-06-21[PATCH] USB: allow multiple types of EHCI controllers to be built as modulesKumar Gala
In some systems we may have both a platform EHCI controller and PCI EHCI controller. Previously we couldn't build the EHCI support as a module due to conflicting module_init() calls in the code.

2006-06-17[PATCH] powerpc: Fix 64k pages on non-partitioned machinesArnd Bergmann
The page size encoding passed to tlbie is incorrect for new-style large pages. This fixes it. This doesn't affect anything on older machines because mmu_psize_defs[psize].penc (the page size encoding) is 0 for 4k and 16M pages (the two are distinguished by a separate "is a large page" bit).

This patch adds the .valid callback to pm_ops on PowerMac so that only the suspend to disk state can be entered.

2006-05-16[PATCH] Fix pSeries identification in prom_init.cBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The OF trampoline code prom_init.c still needs to identify IBM pSeries (PAPR) machines in order to run some platform specific code on them like instanciating the TCE tables. The code doing that detection was changed recently in 2.6.17 early stages but was done slightly incorrectly. It should be testing for an exact match of "chrp" and it currently tests for anything that begins with "chrp". That means it will incorrectly match with platforms using Maple-like device-trees and have open firmware. This fixes it by using strcmp instead of strncmp to match what the actual platform detection code does.

2006-04-28[PATCH] powerpc64: Fix loading of modules without a .toc sectionAlan Modra
Normally, ppc64 module .ko files contain a table-of-contents (.toc) section, but if the module doesn't reference any static or external data or external procedures, it is possible for gcc/binutils to generate a .ko that doesn't have a .toc. Currently the module loader refuses to load such a module, since it needs the address of the .toc section to use in relocations.

2006-04-28[PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepagesDavid Gibson
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in pagetables when making large hugepage mappings. Hugepage PTEs go in PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16 hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte allocation. With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size), the situation is worse. Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level (also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation. The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all hugepage, or all normal pages. Thus, with some care, we can use a different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the 128 bytes necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good. Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O as well as over NFS). iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the overhead (and don't need it for any devices).

2006-04-18powerpc: Use correct sequence for putting CPU into nap modePaul Mackerras
We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into nap mode. When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus started hanging when we put them into nap mode. Changing to the recommended sequence fixes that. The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode. Clearly we need some way to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt, decrementer, performance monitor) occurs. Here we use a bit in the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop. We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence. The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing there too. This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on 32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to get trashed. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
