1d6ed32226 powerpc/iseries: Fix oops reading from /proc/iSeries/mf/*/cmdline
That code uses dma_mapping_error() with a NULL device, which is
a bad idea :-) The proper fix might be to start using some kind
of pseudo device for all these low level mappings with the
hypervisor but that will be for another day. Since it directly
calls into the low level iommu code, I see no problem in having
it directly test against DMA_ERROR_CODE instead of using the
accessors with a NULL argument for now.

bc00351edd powerpc/ps3: Workaround for flash memory I/O error
A workaround for flash memory I/O errors when the PS3 internal
hard disk has not been formatted for OtherOS use.

This error condition mainly effects 'Live CD' users who have not
formatted the PS3's internal hard disk for OtherOS.

Fixes errors similar to these when using the ps3-flash-util
or ps3-boot-game-os programs:

  ps3flash read failed 0x2050000
  os_area_header_read: read error: os_area_header: Input/output error
  main:627: os_area_read_hp error.

e51ee31e8a powerpc/perf_counters: Reduce stack usage of power_check_constraints
Michael Ellerman reported stack-frame size warnings being produced
for power_check_constraints(), which uses an 8*8 array of u64 and
two 8*8 arrays of unsigned long, which are currently allocated on the
stack, along with some other smaller variables.  These arrays come
to 1.5kB on 64-bit or 1kB on 32-bit, which is a bit too much for the
stack.

This fixes the problem by putting these arrays in the existing
per-cpu cpu_hw_counters struct.  This is OK because two of the call
sites have interrupts disabled already; for the third call site we
use get_cpu_var, which disables preemption, so we know we won't
get a context switch while we're in power_check_constraints().
Note that power_check_constraints() can be called during context
switch but is not called from interrupts.

a6dbf93a2a powerpc: Fix bug where perf_counters breaks oprofile
Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries
machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile
will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next
time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter
won't count anything.

Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem:
- oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls
  pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want
  to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca.
  This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore
  the PMU config.
- The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly
  as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear
  when it finishes.
- oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs,
  which does nothing because it has already been called.  In particular
  it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag.

This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set
the "PMU in use" flag.  It makes the perf_counter code call
ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function
directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller.

This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it
isn't defined anywhere.

cede3930f0 powerpc: Fix some late PowerMac G5 with PCIe ATI graphics
A misconfiguration by the firmware of the U4 PCIe bridge on PowerMac G5
with the U4 bridge (latest generations, may also affect the iMac G5
"iSight") is causing us to re-assign the PCI BARs of the video card,
which can get it out of sync with the firmware, thus breaking offb.

This works around it by fixing up the bridge configuration properly
at boot time. It also fixes a bug where the firmware provides us with
an incorrect set of accessible regions in the device-tree.

46db2f86a3 powerpc/pseries: Fix to handle slb resize across migration
The SLB can change sizes across a live migration, which was not
being handled, resulting in possible machine crashes during
migration if migrating to a machine which has a smaller max SLB
size than the source machine. Fix this by first reducing the
SLB size to the minimum possible value, which is 32, prior to
migration. Then during the device tree update which occurs after
migration, we make the call to ensure the SLB gets updated. Also
add the slb_size to the lparcfg output so that the migration
tools can check to make sure the kernel has this capability
before allowing migration in scenarios where the SLB size will change.

b8e4a7dae5 powerpc/powermac: Thermal control turns system off too eagerly
On certain PowerMacs, a module (therm_windtunnel) controls various
thermal settings (it can report CPU/case temperature, change speed
of internal fans, etc.)

By default, the hardware thermal control has a temperature limit to
protect the computer from damages (the default limit seems to be 80°C)
but therm_windtunnel.c reduces it to an anormaly low value (65°C),
which means that he computer will shut down randomly when hit by direct
sun light or during summer (summer in France can be quite hot), actually
possibly losing data instead of protecting it.

The overheat limit in therm_windtunnel.c:253-254 should be set to 75°C
and 70°C instead of 65°C and 60°C respectively.

fbe6544719 powerpc/pci: move pci_64.c device tree scanning code into pci-common.c
The PCI device tree scanning code in pci_64.c is some useful functionality.
It allows PCI devices to be described in the device tree instead of being
probed for, which in turn allows pci devices to use all of the device tree
facilities to describe complex PCI bus architectures like GPIO and IRQ
routing (perhaps not a common situation for desktop or server systems,
but useful for embedded systems with on-board PCI devices).

This patch moves the device tree scanning into pci-common.c so it is
available for 32-bit powerpc machines too.

6776426320 powerpc/pseries: Reduce the polling interval in __cpu_up()
Time time taken for a single cpu online operation on a pseries machine
is as follows:
Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): ~220ms.
Shared LPAR (POWER5)   : ~240ms.

Of this time, approximately 200ms is taken up by __cpu_up(). This is because
we poll every 200ms to check if the new cpu has notified it's presence
through the cpu_callin_map. We repeat this operation until the new cpu sets
the value in cpu_callin_map or 5 seconds elapse, whichever comes earlier.

However, using completion_structs instead of polling loops,
the time taken by the new processor to indicate it's presence has
found to be less than 1ms on pseries. This method however may not
work on all powerpc platforms due to the time-base synchronization code.

Keeping this in mind, we could reduce msleep polling interval from
200ms to 1ms while retaining the 5 second timeout.

With this, the time taken for a cpu online operation changes as follows:
Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): 20-25ms.
Shared LPAR (POWER5)   : 60-80ms.

In both these cases, it was found that the code polls through the loop
only once indicating that 1ms is a reasonable value, atleast on pseries.

The code needs testing on other powerpc platforms.

Your call. Take this one:

The build of a PowerMac 32bit kernel currently fails with

error: #warning "WARNING, CPUFREQ not recommended on SMP kernels"

Thie patch removes the not longer applicable SMP warning from the
PowerMac cpufreq code.

14d757520a powerpc: Fix __flush_icache_range on 44x
The ptrace POKETEXT interface allows a process to modify the text pages of
a child process being ptraced, usually to insert breakpoints via trap
instructions.  The kernel eventually calls copy_to_user_page, which in turn
calls __flush_icache_range to invalidate the icache lines for the child
process.

However, this function does not work on 44x due to the icache being virtually
indexed.  This was noticed by a breakpoint being triggered after it had been
cleared by ltrace on a 440EPx board.  The convenient solution is to do a
flash invalidate of the icache in the __flush_icache_range function.

ea3cc330ac powerpc/mm: Cleanup handling of execute permission
This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute
permission on powerpc. _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only
defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of
#ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that
hopefully should cover everything.

The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though
not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code
for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and
recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than
it already was in that area due to that change.

I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute
permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for
some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and
I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if
the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took
and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if
VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page
execute permissions... Unless I missed something
