      [PATCH] powerpc: remove duplicate EXPORT_SYMBOLS · 920573bd

      remove warnings when building a 64bit kernel.
      smp_call_function triggers also with 32bit kernel.

      [PATCH] powerpc/iseries: Fix double phys_to_abs bug in htab_bolt_mapping · 56ec6462
      Michael Ellerman authored
      
      
      Before the merge I updated create_pte_mapping() to work for iSeries, by
      calling iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert. (4c55130b)
      
      Later we changed iSeries_hpte_insert to cope with the bolting case, and called
      that instead from create_pte_mapping() (which was renamed to htab_bolt_mapping)
      (3c726f8d).
      
      Unfortunately that change introduced a subtle bug, where we pass an absolute
      address to iSeries_hpte_insert() where it expects a physical address. This
      leads to us calling phys_to_abs() twice on the physical address, which is
      seriously bogus.
      
      This only causes a problem if the absolute address from the first translation
      can be looked up again in the chunk_map, which depends on the size and layout
      of memory. I've seen it fail on one box, but not others.
      
      The minimal fix is to pass the physical address to iSeries_hpte_insert(). For
      2.6.17 we should make phys_to_abs() BUG if we try to double-translate an
      address.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Fix SLB flushing path in hugepage · 23ed6cb9
      David Gibson authored
      
      
      On ppc64, when opening a new hugepage region, we need to make sure any
      old normal-page SLBs for the area are flushed on all CPUs.  There was
      a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into
      the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss
      handler) only on one CPU, not on all.  This could cause incorrect SLB
      entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running
      simultaneously on several CPUs.  This patch corrects the error,
      copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm
      in question before flushing any existing SLB entries.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepages · cbf52afd
      David Gibson authored
      
      
      On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so
      between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed.
      Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache
      clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and
      it being mapped into userspace for execute.  We were not doing this
      for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation.
      
      We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying
      the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page
      in question.
      
      Tested on G5.
