2007-08-21[POWERPC] Fix PCI Device ID for MPC8544/8533 processorsKumar Gala
The initial user manuals for MPC8544/8533 had some issues with properly documenting the device IDs for MPC8544/8533. These processors are almost identical and both show up on the reference boards. Fix up the quirks for PCIe support to handle MPC8533/E. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
2007-08-21i386: Mark NUMA support experimentalAndi Kleen
I did some testing and found quite a lot of problems (doesn't boot at all on non NUMA and misassigns cores on Opteron systems). Mark it as experimental and warn against its use for now. It's still default y for SUMMIT/NUMAQ because it'll presumably work on these systems. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-08-20ide: fix hidden dependencies on CONFIG_IDE_GENERICBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
Some host drivers depend on CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC to do the probing but their config options lack explicit dependencies on IDE_GENERIC. In the long-term these host drivers should be fixed to do the probing themselves but for now fix them by making their config options select CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC.

2007-08-18x86: properly initialize temp insn buffer for paravirt patchingChris Wright
With commit ab144f5ec64c42218a555ec1dbde6b60cf2982d6 the patching code now collects the complete new instruction stream into a temp buffer before finally patching in the new insns. In some cases the paravirt patchers will choose to leave the patch site unpatched (length mismatch, clobbers mismatch, etc). This causes the new patching code to copy an uninitialized temp buffer, i.e. garbage, to the callsite. Simply make sure to always initialize the buffer with the original instruction stream. A better fix is to audit all the patchers and return proper length so that apply_paravirt() can skip copies when we leave the patch site untouched.

2007-08-17[POWERPC] Fix interrupt routing and setup of ULI M1575 on FSL boardsKumar Gala
The interrupt routing in the device trees for the ULI M1575 was inproperly using the interrupt line field as pci function. Fixed up the device tree's to actual conform for to specification and changed the interrupt mapping code so it just uses a static mapping setup as follows: PIRQA - IRQ9 PIRQB - IRQ10 PIRQC - IRQ11 PIRQD - IRQ12 USB 1.1 OCHI (1c.0) - IRQ12 USB 1.1 OCHI (1c.1) - IRQ9 USB 1.1 OCHI (1c.2) - IRQ10 USB 1.1 ECHI (1c.3) - IRQ11 LAN (1b.0) - IRQ6 AC97 (1d.0) - IRQ6 Modem (1d.1) - IRQ6 HD Audio (1d.2) - IRQ6 SATA (1f.1) - IRQ5 SMB (1e.1) - IRQ7 PMU (1e.2) - IRQ7 PATA (1f.0) - IRQ14/15 Took the oppurtunity to refactor the code into a single file so we don't have to duplicate these fixes on the two current boards in the tree and several forth coming boards that will also need the code. Fixed RTC support that requires a dummy memory read on the P2P bridge to unlock the RTC and setup the default of the RTC alarm registers to match with a basic x86 style CMOS RTC. Moved code that poked ISA registers to a FIXUP_FINAL quirk to ensure the PCI IO space has been setup properly before we start poking ISA registers at random locations.

2007-08-16[IA64] Failure to grow RBSAndrew Burgess
There is a bug in the ia64_do_page_fault code that can cause a failure to grow the register backing store, or any mapping that is marked as VM_GROWSUP if the mapping is the highest mapped area of memory. When the address accessed is below the first mapping the previous mapping is returned as NULL, and this case is handled. However, when the address accessed is above the highest mapping the vma returned is NULL, this case is not handled correctly, and it fails to spot that this access might require an existing mapping to grow upwards.

The core cpufreq code doesn't appear to understand returning -EAGAIN for the get() function of the cpufreq_driver. If PAL_GET_PSTATE returns -1, such as when running on Xen, scaling_cur_freq is happy to return 4294967285 kHz (ie. (unsigned)-11). The other drivers appear to return 0 for a failure, and doing so gives me the max frequency from scaling_cur_frequency and "<unknown>" from cpuinfo_cur_frequency.

2007-08-15[POWERPC] Fix small race in 44x tlbie functionDavid Gibson
The 440 family of processors don't have a tlbie instruction. So, we implement TLB invalidates by explicitly searching the TLB with tlbsx., then clobbering the relevant entry, if any. Unfortunately the PID for the search needs to be stored in the MMUCR register, which is also used by the TLB miss handler. Interrupts were enabled in _tlbie(), so an interrupt between loading the MMUCR and the tlbsx could cause incorrect search results, and thus a failure to invalide TLB entries which needed to be invalidated. This fixes the problem in both arch/ppc and arch/powerpc by inhibiting interrupts (even critical and debug interrupts) across the relevant instructions.

At least one machine has been identified in the field which advertises EDD for all drives but locks up if one attempts an extended read from a non-primary drive. The MBR is always at CHS 0-0-1, so there is no reason to use an extended read, other than the possibility that the BIOS cannot handle it. Although this might break as many machines as it fixes (a small number either way), the current state is a regression but the reverse is not. Therefore revert to the previous state of not using extended read. Quite probably the Right Thing to do is to read using plain (CHS) read and extended read on failure, but that change would definitely have to go through -mm first. Signed-off-by: H.
