2005-07-27[PATCH] ppc64: remove another fixed address constraintDavid Gibson2-36/+85
Presently the LparMap, one of the structures the kernel shares with the legacy iSeries hypervisor has a fixed offset address in head.S. This patch changes this so the LparMap is a normally initialized structure, without fixed address. This allows us to use macros to compute some of the values in the structure, which wasn't previously possible because the assembler always uses signed-% which gets the wrong answers for the computations in question. Unfortunately, a gcc bug means that doing this requires another structure (hvReleaseData) to be initialized in asm instead of C, but on the whole the result is cleaner than before.

2005-07-27[PATCH] ppc64: dynamically allocate segment tablesDavid Gibson4-22/+37
PPC64 machines before Power4 need a segment table page allocated for each CPU. Currently these are allocated statically in a big array in head.S for all CPUs. The segment tables need to be in the first segment (so do_stab_bolted doesn't take a recursive fault on the stab itself), but other than that there are no constraints which require the stabs for the secondary CPUs to be statically allocated. This patch allocates segment tables dynamically during boot, using lmb_alloc() to ensure they are within the first 256M segment. This reduces the kernel image size by 192k... Tested on RS64 iSeries, POWER3 pSeries, and POWER5.

Create a new top-level menu named "Networking" thus moving net related options and protocol selection way from the drivers menu and up on the top-level where they belong. To implement this all architectures has to source "net/Kconfig" before drivers/*/Kconfig in their Kconfig file. This change has been implemented for all architectures.

The SPR write is fairly expensive, perhaps we should cache the runlatch state in the paca and avoid the write when possible. We don't need to turn the runlatch off, we do that in the idle loop.

2005-06-30[PATCH] ppc64: Replace custom locking code with a spinlockMichael Ellerman1-36/+2
The hvlpevent_queue (formally ItLpQueue) has a member called xInUseWord which is used for serialising access to the queue. Because it's a word (ie. 32 bit) there's a custom 32-bit version of test_and_set_bit() or thereabouts in ItLpQueue.c. The xInUseWord is not shared with they hypervisor, so we can replace it with a spinlock and remove the custom code. There is also another locking mechanism (ItLpQueueInProcess). This is redundant because it's only manipulated while the lock's held. Remove it.

2005-06-30[PATCH] ppc64: Remove lpqueue pointer from the paca on iSeriesMichael Ellerman7-26/+19
The iSeries code keeps a pointer to the ItLpQueue in its paca struct. But all these pointers end up pointing to the one place, ie. xItLpQueue. So remove the pointer from the paca struct and just refer to xItLpQueue directly where needed. The only complication is that the spread_lpevents logic was implemented by having a NULL lpqueue pointer in the paca on CPUs that weren't supposed to process events. Instead we just compare the spread_lpevents value to the processor id to get the same behaviour.

Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options. Its effectiveness varies we've found in the Fedora case. Quite a few systems with misdescribed IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll. It also fixes up the VIA systems although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically). A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for. In those cases it doesn't help.
