commit 059e4938f8b060b10c4352e6c45739473bc73267 ("powerpc/ps3: Add a sub-match
id to ps3_system_bus") forgot to update the module alias support:
- Add the sub-match ids to the module aliases, so udev can distinguish
between different types of sub-devices.
- Rename PS3_MODULE_ALIAS_GRAPHICS to PS3_MODULE_ALIAS_GPU_FB, as ps3fb
binds to the "FB" sub-device.

We were missing the CPU_FTR_NOEXECUTE bit in our cputable for all
these processors. The result is that update_mmu_cache() would flush
the cache for all pages mapped to userspace which is totally
unnecessary on those processors since we already handle flushing
on execute in the page fault path.
This should provide a nice speed up ;-)

The initial TLB mapping for the kernel boot didn't set the memory coherent
attribute, MAS2[M], in SMP mode.
If this code supported booting a secondary processor, which it doesn't yet,
but if it did, then when a secondary processor boots, it would probably signal
the primary processor by setting a variable called something like
__secondary_hold_acknowledge. However, due to the lack of the M bit, the
primary processor would not snoop the transaction (even if a transaction were
broadcast). If primary CPU's L1 D-cache had a copy, it would not be flushed
and the CPU would never see the ack. Which would have resulted in the primary
CPU spinning for a long time, perhaps a full second before it gives up, while
it would have waited for the ack from the secondary CPU that it wouldn't have
been able to see because of the stale cache.
The value of MAS2 for the boot page TLB1 entry is a compile time constant,
so there is no need to calculate it in powerpc assembly language.
Also, from the MPC8572 manual section 6.12.5.3, "Bits that represent
offsets within a page are ignored and should be cleared." Existing code
didn't clear them, this code does.
The same when the page of KERNELBASE is found; we don't need to use asm to
mask the lower 12 bits off.
In the code that computes the address to rfi from, don't hard code the
offset to 24 bytes, but have the assembler figure that out for us.

This patch add the handlers of SPE/EFP exceptions.
The code is used to emulate float point arithmetic,
when MSR(SPE) is enabled and receive EFP data interrupt or EFP round interrupt.
This patch has no conflict with or dependence on FP math-emu.
The code has been tested by TestFloat.
Now the code doesn't support SPE/EFP instructions emulation
(it won't be called when receive program interrupt),
but it could be easily added.

We need to swap these out once we start using swiotlb, so add
them to dma_ops. Create CONFIG_PPC_NEED_DMA_SYNC_OPS Kconfig
option; this is currently enabled automatically if we're
CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE. In the future, this will also
be enabled for builds that need swiotlb. If PPC_NEED_DMA_SYNC_OPS
is not defined, the dma_sync_*_for_* ops compile to nothing.
Otherwise, they access the dma_ops pointers for the sync ops.
This patch also changes dma_sync_single_range_* to actually
sync the range - previously it was using a generous
dma_sync_single. dma_sync_single_* is now implemented
as a dma_sync_single_range with an offset of 0.

The tlb invalidates in kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic can be called from
IRQ context, however they are only local invalidates (on the processor
that the kmap was called on). In the future we want to use IPIs to
do tlb invalidates this causes issue since flush_tlb_page() is considered
a broadcast invalidate.
Add local_flush_tlb_page() as a non-broadcast invalidate and use it in
kmap_atomic() since we don't have enough information in the
flush_tlb_page() call to determine its local.

With the new generic smp call function helpers, I noticed the code in
smp_message_recv was a single function call in many cases. While
getting the message number from the ipi data is easy, we can reduce
the path length by a function and data-dependent switch by registering
seperate IPI actions for these simple calls.
Originally I left the ipi action array exposed, but then I realized the
registration code should be common too.
The three users each had their own name array, so I made a fourth
to convert all users to use a common one.

Since we started using the generic timekeeping code, we haven't had a

Currently the clock_gettime implementation in the VDSO produces a
result with microsecond resolution for the cases that are handled
without a system call, i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The
nanoseconds field of the result is obtained by computing a
microseconds value and multiplying by 1000.
This changes the code in the VDSO to do the computation for
clock_gettime with nanosecond resolution. That means that the
resolution of the result will ultimately depend on the timebase
frequency.
Because the timestamp in the VDSO datapage (stamp_xsec, the real time
corresponding to the timebase count in tb_orig_stamp) is in units of
2^-20 seconds, it doesn't have sufficient resolution for computing a
result with nanosecond resolution. Therefore this adds a copy of
xtime to the VDSO datapage and updates it in update_gtod() along with
the other time-related fields.

Currently, our PCI code uses the pcibios_fixup_bus() callback, which
is called by the generic code when probing PCI buses, for two
different things.
One is to set up things related to the bus itself, such as reading
bridge resources for P2P bridges, fixing them up, or setting up the
iommu's associated with bridges on some platforms.
The other is some setup for each individual device under that bridge,
mostly setting up DMA mappings and interrupts.
The problem is that this approach doesn't work well with PCI hotplug
when an existing bus is re-probed for new children. We fix this
problem by splitting pcibios_fixup_bus into two routines:
pcibios_setup_bus_self() is now called to setup the bus itself
pcibios_setup_bus_devices() is now called to setup devices
pcibios_fixup_bus() is then modified to call these two after reading the
bridge bases, and the OF based PCI probe is modified to avoid calling
into the first one when rescanning an existing bridge.

The 32-bit and 64-bit powerpc PCI code used to set up the resource
pointers of the root bus of a given PHB in completely different
places.
This unifies this in large part, by making 32-bit use a routine very
similar to what 64-bit does when initially scanning the PCI busses.
The actual setup of the PHB resources itself is then moved to a
common function in pci-common.c.
This should cause no functional change on 64-bit. On 32-bit, the
effect is that the PHB resources are going to be setup a bit earlier,
instead of being setup from pcibios_fixup_bus().

The Freescale implementation of MPIC only allows a single CPU destination
for non-IPI interrupts. We add a flag to the mpic_init to distinquish
these variants of MPIC. We pull in the irq_choose_cpu from sparc64 to
select a single CPU as the destination of the interrupt.
This is to deal with the fact that the default smp affinity was
changed by commit 18404756765c713a0be4eb1082920c04822ce588 ("genirq:

After the merge of the 32 and 64bit DMA code, dma_direct_ops lost
their map/unmap_single() functions but gained map/unmap_page(). This
caused a problem for Cell because Cell's dma_iommu_fixed_ops called
the dma_direct_ops if the fixed linear mapping was to be used or the
iommu ops if the dynamic window was to be used. So in order to fix
this problem we need to update the 64bit DMA code to use
map/unmap_page.
First, we update the generic IOMMU code so that iommu_map_single()
becomes iommu_map_page() and iommu_unmap_single() becomes
iommu_unmap_page(). Then we propagate these changes up through all
the callers of these two functions and in the process update all the
dma_mapping_ops so that they have map/unmap_page rahter than
map/unmap_single. We can do this because on 64bit there is no HIGHMEM
memory so map/unmap_page ends up performing exactly the same function
as map/unmap_single, just taking different arguments.
This has no affect on drivers because the dma_map_single_attrs() just
ends up calling the map_page() function of the appropriate
dma_mapping_ops and similarly the dma_unmap_single_attrs() calls
unmap_page().
This fixes an oops on Cell blades, which oops on boot without this
because they call dma_direct_ops.map_single, which is NULL.

Resources for PHB's that are dynamically added to a system are not
properly allocated in the resource tree.
Not having these resources allocated causes an oops when removing
the PHB when we try to release them.
The diff appears a bit messy, this is mainly due to moving everything
one tab to the left in the pcibios_allocate_bus_resources routine.
The functionality change in this routine is only that the
list_for_each_entry() loop is pulled out and moved to the necessary

Commit 54622f10a6aabb8bb2bdacf3dd070046f03dc246 ("powerpc: Support for
relocatable kdump kernel") added a magic flag value in a register to
tell purgatory that it should be a panic kernel. This part is wrong
and is reverted by this commit.
The kernel gets a list of memory blocks and a entry point from user space.
Its job is to copy the blocks into place and then branch to the designated
entry point (after turning "off" the mmu).
The user space tool inserts a trampoline, called purgatory, that runs
before the user supplied code. Its job is to establish the entry
environment for the new kernel or other application based on the contents
of memory. The purgatory code is compiled and embedded in the tool,
where it is later patched using the elf symbol table using elf symbols.
Since the tool knows it is creating a purgatory that will run after a
