      [POWERPC] Lazy interrupt disabling for 64-bit machines · d04c56f7
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      

This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts.  This means
that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
enabled' flag in the paca.  If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
flag in the paca, and returns.  This means that interrupts only
actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.

When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
interrupts got hard-disabled.  If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.

This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.

This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw.  This doesn't
yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
flags.  This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

      powerpc: Merge pci.h · f8ef2705
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      

This involves some minor changes: a few unused functions that the
ppc32 pci.c provides are no longer declared here or exported;
pcibios_assign_all_busses now just refers to the pci_assign_all_buses
variable on both 32-bit and 64-bit; pcibios_scan_all_fns is now
just 0 instead of a function that always returns 0 on 64-bit.

      [PATCH] powerpc: merge code values for identifying platforms · 799d6046
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      

This patch merges platform codes.  systemcfg->platform is no longer used,
systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed
_systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch),
_machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32.  Platform codes aren't gone
yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S
is also turned into C code.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Merge signal.h · c5ff7001
      David Gibson authored 
      

Having already merged the ppc and ppc64 versions of signal.c, this
patch finishes the job by merging signal.h.  The two versions were
almost identical already.  Notable changes:
	- We use BITS_PER_LONG to correctly size sigset_t
	- Remove some uneeded #includes and struct forward
declarations.  This does mean adding an include to signal_32.c which
relied on the indirect inclusion of sigcontext.h
	- As the ppc64 version, the merged signal.h has prototypes for
do_signal() and do_signal32().  Thus remove extra prototypes from
ppc_ksyms.c which had them directly.

Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc).  Built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc).

      [PATCH] powerpc: Merge bitops.h · a0e60b20
      David Gibson authored 
      

Here's a revised version.  This re-introduces the set_bits() function
from ppc64, which I removed because I thought it was unused (it exists
on no other arch).  In fact it is used in the powermac interrupt code
(but not on pSeries).

- We use LARXL/STCXL macros to generate the right (32 or 64 bit)
  instructions, similar to LDL/STL from ppc_asm.h, used in fpu.S

- ppc32 previously used a full "sync" barrier at the end of
  test_and_*_bit(), whereas ppc64 used an "isync".  The merged version
  uses "isync", since I believe that's sufficient.

- The ppc64 versions of then minix_*() bitmap functions have changed
  semantics.  Previously on ppc64, these functions were big-endian
  (that is bit 0 was the LSB in the first 64-bit, big-endian word).
  On ppc32 (and x86, for that matter, they were little-endian.  As far
  as I can tell, the big-endian usage was simply wrong - I guess
  no-one ever tried to use minixfs on ppc64.

- On ppc32 find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit() are no longer
  inline (they were already out-of-line on ppc64).

- For ppc64, sched_find_first_bit() has moved from mmu_context.h to
  the merged bitops.  What it was doing in mmu_context.h in the first
  place, I have no idea.

- The fls() function is now implemented using the cntlzw instruction
  on ppc64, instead of generic_fls(), as it already was on ppc32.

- For ARCH=ppc, this patch requires adding arch/powerpc/lib to the
  arch/ppc/Makefile.  This in turn requires some changes to
  arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile which didn't correctly handle ARCH=ppc.

Built and running on G5.

      powerpc: Merge xmon · f78541dc
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      

The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly,
and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version.
The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call
show_state (which was always pretty dodgy) has been replaced by
the ppc32 'p' command, which calls a given procedure (so in fact
the old 'p' command behaviour can be achieved with 'p $show_state').

      powerpc: Merge time.c and asm/time.h. · f2783c15

We now use the merged time.c for both 32-bit and 64-bit compilation
with ARCH=powerpc, and for ARCH=ppc64, but not for ARCH=ppc32.
This removes setup_default_decr (folds its function into time_init)
and moves wakeup_decrementer into time.c.  This also makes an
asm-powerpc/rtc.h.

      powerpc: Merge in the ppc64 version of the prom code. · 9b6b563c
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      

This brings in the ppc64 version of prom_init.c, prom.c and btext.c
and makes them work for ppc32.  This also brings in the new calling
convention, where the first entry to the kernel (with r5 != 0) goes
to the prom_init code, which then restarts from the beginning (with
r5 == 0) after it has done its stuff.

For now this also brings in the ppc32 version of setup.c.  It also
merges lmb.h.
