2005-04-16[PATCH] add Big Endian variants of ioread/iowriteJames Bottomley
In the new io infrastructure, all of our operators are expecting the underlying device to be little endian (because the PCI bus, their main consumer, is LE). However, there are a fair few devices and busses in the world that are actually Big Endian. There's even evidence that some of these BE bus and chip types are attached to LE systems. Thus, there's a need for a BE equivalent of our io{read,write}{16,32} operations. The attached patch adds this as io{read,write}{16,32}be. When it's in, I'll add the first consume (the 53c700 SCSI chip driver).

This will allow hotplug CPU in the future and in general cleans up a lot of crufty code. It also should plug some races that the old hackish way introduces. Remove one old race workaround in NMI watchdog setup that is not needed anymore. I removed the old total sum of bogomips reporting code. The brag value of BogoMips has been greatly devalued in the last years on the open market. Real CPU hotplug will need some more work, but the infrastructure for it is there now. One drawback: the new TSC sync algorithm is less accurate than before. The old way of zeroing TSCs is too intrusive to do later. Instead the TSC of the BP is duplicated now, which is less accurate. akpm: - sync_tsc_bp_init seems to have the sense of `init' inverted. - SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated - use DEFINE_SPINLOCK.

2005-04-16[PATCH] x86_64: Keep only a single debug notifier chainAndi Kleen
Calling a notifier three times in the debug handler does not make much sense, because a debugger can figure out the various conditions by itself. Remove the additional calls to DIE_DEBUG and DIE_DEBUGSTEP completely. This matches what i386 does now. This also makes sure interrupts are always still disabled when calling a debugger, which prevents: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code: tpopf/1470 caller is post_kprobe_handler+0x9/0x70 Call Trace:<ffffffff8024f10f>{smp_processor_id+191} <ffffffff80120e69>{post_kpro be_handler+9} <ffffffff80120f7a>{kprobe_exceptions_notify+58} <ffffffff80144fc0>{notifier_call_chain+32} <ffffffff80110daf>{do_debug+335} <ffffffff8010f513>{debug+127} <EOE> on preemptible debug kernels with kprobes when single stepping in user space.

2005-04-16[PATCH] i386: Use loaddebug macro consistentlyRoland McGrath
This moves the macro loaddebug from asm-i386/suspend.h to asm-i386/processor.h, which is the place that makes sense for it to be defined, removes the extra copy of the same macro in arch/i386/kernel/process.c, and makes arch/i386/kernel/signal.c use the macro in place of its expansion. This is a purely cosmetic cleanup for the normal i386 kernel. However, it is handy for Xen to be able to just redefine the loaddebug macro once instead of also changing the signal.c code.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: no prefetch for NULL pointersOlof Johansson
For prefetches of NULL (as when walking a short linked list), PPC64 will in some cases take a performance hit. The hardware needs to do the TLB walk, and said walk will always miss, which means (up to) two L2 misses as penalty. This seems to hurt overall performance, so for NULL pointers skip the prefetch alltogether.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: Improve mapping of vDSOBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the proper address). While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should be possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc64: very basic desktop g5 sound supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch hacks the current PowerMac Alsa driver to add some basic support of analog sound output to some desktop G5s. It has severe limitations though: - Only 44100Khz 16 bits - Only work on G5 models using a TAS3004 analog code, that is early single CPU desktops and all dual CPU desktops at this date, but none of the more recent ones like iMac G5. - It does analog only, no digital/SPDIF support at all, no native AC3 support Better support would require a complete rewrite of the driver (which I am working on, but don't hold your breath), to properly support the diversity of apple sound HW setup, including dual codecs, several i2s busses, all the new codecs used in the new machines, proper clock switching with digital, etc etc etc... This patch applies on top of the other PowerMac sound patches I posted in the past couple of days (new powerbook support and sleep fixes). Note: This is a FAQ entry for PowerMac sound support with TI codecs: They have a feature called "DRC" which is automatically enabled for the internal speaker (at least when auto mute control is enabled) which will cause your sound to fade out to nothing after half a second of playback if you don't set a proper "DRC Range" in the mixer. So if you have a problem like that, check alsamixer and raise your DRC Range to something reasonable. Note2: This patch will also add auto-mute of the speaker when line-out jack is used on some earlier desktop G4s (and on the G5) in addition to the headphone jack. If that behaviour isn't what you want, just disable auto-muting and use the manual mute controls in alsamixer.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: Support 36-bit physical addressing on e500Kumar Gala
To add support for 36-bit physical addressing on e500 the following changes have been made. The changes are generalized to support any physical address size larger than 32-bits: * Allow FSL Book-E parts to use a 64-bit PTE, it is 44-bits of pfn, 20-bits of flags. * Introduced new CPU feature (CPU_FTR_BIG_PHYS) to allow runtime handling of updating hardware register (SPRN_MAS7) which holds the upper 32-bits of physical address that will be written into the TLB. This is useful since not all e500 cores support 36-bit physical addressing. * Currently have a pass through implementation of fixup_bigphys_addr * Moved _PAGE_DIRTY in the 64-bit PTE case to free room for three additional storage attributes that may exist in future FSL Book-E cores and updated fault handler to copy these bits into the hardware TLBs.

CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is used if the physical address width is larger than 32-bits, regardless of PTE size.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: Fix pte_update for 64-bit PTEsKumar Gala
While the existing pte_update code handled atomically modifying a 64-bit PTE, it did not return all 64-bits of the PTE before it was modified. This causes problems in some places that expect the full PTE to be returned, like ptep_get_and_clear(). Created a new pte_update function that is conditional on CONFIG_PTE_64BIT. It atomically reads the low PTE word which all PTE flags are required to be in and returns a premodified full 64-bit PTE. Since we now have an explicit 64-bit PTE version of pte_update we can also remove the hack that existed to get the low PTE word regardless of size.

2005-04-16[PATCH] ppc32: Fix AGP and sleep againBenjamin Herrenschmidt
My previous patch that added sleep support for uninorth-agp and some AGP "off" stuff in radeonfb and aty128fb is breaking some configs. More specifically, it has problems with rage128 setups since the DRI code for these in X doesn't properly re-enable AGP on wakeup or console switch (unlike the radeon DRM). This patch fixes the problem for pmac once for all by using a different approach. The AGP driver "registers" special suspend/resume callbacks with some arch code that the fbdev's can later on call to suspend and resume AGP, making sure it's resumed back in the same state it was when suspended. This is platform specific for now. It would be too complicated to try to do a generic implementation of this at this point due to all sort of weird things going on with AGP on other architectures. We'll re-work that whole problem cleanly once we finally merge fbdev's and DRI. In the meantime, please apply this patch which brings back some r128 based laptops into working condition as far as system sleep is concerned.
