2005-11-07[PATCH] ppc32: Dump error status for both PLB segments on 440SPRoland Dreier2-0/+29
The PowerPC 440SP SoC has two Processor Local Bus (PLB) segments (a high-throughput segment and a low-latency segment). Fix our PLB register definitions to cope with this, and add code to dump the status of both segments when a machine check occurs.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ppc32: Allow ERPN for early serial to depend on CPU typeRoland Dreier2-3/+8
The PowerPC 440SPe supports up to 16 GB of RAM, and therefore its IO registers are at 0x4_xxxx_xxxx instead of being at 0x1_xxxx_xxxx like most other PPC 440 chips. To allow for this, this patch moves the definition of the ERPN used for mapping UART0 from being hard-coded in the head_44x.S assembly code to being defined in ibm44x.h.

slab presently goes BUG if someone tries to register an already-registered cache. But this can happen if the user accidentally loads a module which is already statically linked into the kernel. Nuking the kernel is rather a harsh reaction. Change it into a warning, and just fail the kmem_cache_alloc() attempt. If the module is well-behaved, the modprobe will fail and all is well.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ppc64: Fix bug in SLB miss handler for hugepagesDavid Gibson5-6/+25
This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by this patch). The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64 introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id c594adad5653491813959277fb87a2fef54c4e05) due to a misunderstanding of the srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa). The problem arises when a 64-bit process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual). In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for hugepages. In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to be more sensible. Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all addresses below 1TB for hugepage). With this patch, any given address is governed by a single bitmap. Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M granularity). Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set. Higher addresses are marked for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB granularity). To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending patch for 64k base page size [0]. As such, this patch also addresses a hugepage problem introduced by that patch. That patch allows hugepages of 1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB. This patch simply disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable them some other day). Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5 LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).

2005-11-06[PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pagesBenjamin Herrenschmidt52-1212/+2949
Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently. Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the information from the newer hypervisors.

2005-11-06[ARM] 3089/1: ixp4xx AHB/PCI endianness fixAlessandro Zummo1-1/+1
Patch from Alessandro Zummo This patch fixes AHB/PCI endianness problems when the processor is in little-endian mode. The patch configures the CSR register closely following the directives in [1], paragraph 4.1, page 19. According to the considerations in [1], page 11, while the AHB bus supports both endian modes, on the IXP4XX it always uses big-endian. The PCI bus is connected to the South AHB. A wrong setting in the CSR register will thus cause a malfunctional PCI bus. A schematic diagram of the bus interconnections on the IXP4XX can be found in [1], page 18. The patch has been verified to work on the NSLU2 in both LE and BE modes. The author is Peter Korsgaard.
