81efcd3300 [PATCH] uml: more carefully test whether we are in a system call
For security reasons, UML in is_syscall() needs to have access to code in
vsyscall-page.  The current implementation grants this access by explicitly
allowing access to vsyscall in access_ok_skas().  With this change,
copy_from_user() may be used to read the code.  Ptrace access to vsyscall-page
for debugging already was implemented in get_user_pages() by mainline.  In
i386, copy_from_user can't access vsyscall-page, but returns EFAULT.

To make UML behave as i386 does, I changed is_syscall to use
access_process_vm(current) to read the code from vsyscall-page.  This doesn't
hurt security, but simplifies the code and prepares implementation of
stub-vmas.

dbffa47161 [PATCH] PM-Timer: don't use workaround if chipset is not buggy
Current timer_pm.c reads I/O port triple times, in order to avoid the bug
of chipset.  But I/O port is slow.

2.6.16 (pmtmr)
Simple gettimeofday: 3.6532 microseconds

2.6.16+patch (pmtmr)
Simple gettimeofday: 1.4582 microseconds

[if chip is buggy, probably it will be 7us or more in 4.2% of probability.]

This patch adds blacklist of buggy chip, and if chip is not buggy, this
uses fast normal version instead of slow workaround version.

If chip is buggy, warnings "pmtmr is slow".  But sounds like there is gray
zone.  I found the PIIX4 errata, but I couldn't find the ICH4 errata.  But
some motherboard seems to have problem.

So, if we found a ICH4, generate warnings, and use a workaround version.
If user's ICH4 is good, the user can specify the "pmtmr_good" boot
parameter to use fast version.

9618edab82 powerpc: Fix event-scan code for 32-bit CHRP
On CHRP machines we are supposed to call into firmware (RTAS)
periodically, to give it a chance to check for errors and other
events.  Under ppc we had some special code in timer_interrupt
to do this, but that didn't get transferred over to arch/powerpc.
Instead, we use an array of timer_list structs, one per CPU,
and use add_timer_on to make sure each one gets called on the
appropriate CPU.

With this we can remove the heartbeat_* elements of the ppc_md
struct.

e7e2d2da26 powerpc: Don't compile in arch/ppc/kernel for 32-bit ARCH=powerpc
All of the things needed for 32-bit ARCH=powerpc builds have now
moved to arch/powerpc/kernel, so we don't need to go down into
arch/ppc/kernel any more, and we can remove the CONFIG_PPC_MERGE
conditional from arch/ppc/kernel/Makefile.

There were two files still referenced in the merge section of
arch/ppc/kernel/Makefile: ppc-stub.o, depending on CONFIG_KGDB,
and dma-mapping.o, depending on CONFIG_NOT_COHERENT_CACHE.  None
of the platforms currently in ARCH=powerpc have caches that
aren't coherent with DMA, but when we do get one we'll move
dma-mapping.c over.  As for CONFIG_KGDB, none of the Kconfig
files in the tree define it, so I'll let it languish for now.

fbd7740fdf powerpc: Simplify pSeries idle loop
Since pSeries only wants to do something different in the idle loop when
there is no work to do, we can simplify the code by implementing
ppc_md.power_save functions instead of complete idle loops.  There are
two versions: one for shared-processor partitions and one for dedicated-
processor partitions.

With this we also do a cede_processor() call on dedicated processor
partitions if the poll_pending() call indicates that the hypervisor
has work it wants to do.

4df20460a3 [PATCH] powerpc: Allow non zero boot cpuids
We currently have a hack to flip the boot cpu and its secondary thread
to logical cpuid 0 and 1. This means the logical - physical mapping will
differ depending on which cpu is boot cpu. This is most apparent on
kexec, where we might kexec on any cpu and therefore change the mapping
from boot to boot.

The patch below does a first pass early on to work out the logical cpuid
of the boot thread. We then fix up some paca structures to match.

Ive also removed the boot_cpuid_phys variable for ppc64, to be
consistent we use get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid) everywhere.

6088857b16 [PATCH] correct the comment about stackpointer alignment in __boot_from_prom
The address of variable val in prom_init_stdout is passed to prom_getprop.
prom_getprop casts the pointer to u32 and passes it to call_prom in the hope
that OpenFirmware stores something there.
But the pointer is truncated in the lower bits and the expected value is
stored somewhere else.

In my testing I had a stackpointer of 0x0023e6b4. val was at offset 120,
wich has address 0x0023e72c. But the value passed to OF was 0x0023e728.

c00000000040b710:       3b 01 00 78     addi    r24,r1,120
...
c00000000040b754:       57 08 00 38     rlwinm  r8,r24,0,0,28
...
c00000000040b784:       80 01 00 78     lwz     r0,120(r1)
...
c00000000040b798:       90 1b 00 0c     stw     r0,12(r27)
...

The stackpointer came from 32bit code.
The chain was yaboot -> zImage -> vmlinux

PowerMac OpenFirmware does appearently not handle the ELF sections
correctly.  If yaboot was compiled in
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/lilo-10.1.1/yaboot, then the stackpointer is
unaligned. But the stackpointer is correct if yaboot is compiled in
/tmp/yaboot.

This bug triggered since 2.6.15, now prom_getprop is an inline
function. gcc clears the lower bits, instead of just clearing the
upper 32 bits.

6df10a82f8 [PATCH] spufs: enable SPE problem state MMIO access.
This patch is layered on top of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM
and is patterned after direct mapping of LS.

This patch allows mmap() of the following regions:
"mfc", which represents the area from [0x3000 - 0x3fff];
"cntl", which represents the area from [0x4000 - 0x4fff];
"signal1" which begins at offset 0x14000; "signal2" which
begins at offset 0x1c000.

The signal1 & signal2 files may be mmap()'d by regular user
processes.  The cntl and mfc file, on the other hand, may
only be accessed if the owning process has CAP_SYS_RAWIO,
because they have the potential to confuse the kernel
with regard to parallel access to the same files with
regular file operations: the kernel always holds a spinlock
when accessing registers in these areas to serialize them,
which can not be guaranteed with user mmaps,

a33a7d7309 [PATCH] spufs: implement mfc access for PPE-side DMA
This patch adds a new file called 'mfc' to each spufs directory.
The file accepts DMA commands that are a subset of what would
be legal DMA commands for problem state register access. Upon
reading the file, a bitmask is returned with the completed
tag groups set.

The file is meant to be used from an abstraction in libspe
that is added by a different patch.

From the kernel perspective, this means a process can now
offload a memory copy from or into an SPE local store
without having to run code on the SPE itself.

The transfer will only be performed while the SPE is owned
by one thread that is waiting in the spu_run system call
and the data will be transferred into that thread's
address space, independent of which thread started the
transfer.

2dd14934c9 [PATCH] spufs: allow SPU code to do syscalls
An SPU does not have a way to implement system calls
itself, but it can create intercepts to the kernel.

This patch uses the method defined by the JSRE interface
for C99 host library calls from an SPU to implement
Linux system calls. It uses the reserved SPU stop code
0x2104 for this, using the structure layout and syscall
numbers for ppc64-linux.

I'm still undecided wether it is better to have a list
of allowed syscalls or a list of forbidden syscalls,
since we can't allow an SPU to call all syscalls that
are defined for ppc64-linux.

This patch implements the easier choice of them, with a
blacklist that only prevents an SPU from calling anything
that interacts with its own execution, e.g fork, execve,
clone, vfork, exit, spu_run and spu_create and everything
that deals with signals.

a7f31841a4 [PATCH] powerpc: declare arch syscalls in <asm/syscalls.h>
powerpc currently declares some of its own system calls
in <asm/unistd.h>, but not all of them. That place also
contains remainders of the now almost unused kernel syscall
hack.

 - Add a new <asm/syscalls.h> with clean declarations
 - Include that file from every source that implements one
   of these
 - Get rid of old declarations in <asm/unistd.h>

This patch is required as a base for implementing system
calls from an SPU, but also makes sense as a general
cleanup.

5536408c21 [PATCH] powerpc: work around a cell interrupt HW bug
Apparently we have found a bug in the CPU that causes
external interrupts to sometimes get disabled indefinitely.
This adds a workaround for the problem.

d0e57c6837 [PATCH] powerpc: cell interrupt controller updates
The current interrupt controller setup on Cell is done
in a rather ad-hoc way with device tree properties
that are not standardized at all.

In an attempt to do something that follows the OF standard
(or at least the IBM extensions to it) more closely,
we have now come up with this patch. It still provides
a fallback to the old behaviour when we find older firmware,
that hack can not be removed until the existing customer
installations have upgraded.
