X has been failing to start on my quad G5 powermac since commit
1fd0f52583 ("powerpc: Fix domain numbers
in /proc on 64-bit") went in. The reason is that the change allows X
to see the PCI-PCI bridge above the video card (previously it was
obscured by the fact that there were two "00" directories in
/proc/bus/pci), and the pciconfig_iobase system call on the bridge is
failing because of a hack that we have to return information about the
AGP bus when X asks about bus 0. This machine doesn't have an AGP bus
(it has PCI Express) and so the pciconfig_iobase call is returning -1,
which ultimately causes X to fail to start.
This fixes it by checking that we have an AGP bridge before
redirecting the pciconfig_iobase call to return information about the
AGP bus. With this, X starts successfully both on a quad G5 with
PCI Express and on an older dual G5 with AGP.

The current code for providing processor cache information in sysfs
has the following deficiencies:
- several complex functions that are hard to understand
- implicit recursion (cache_desc_release -> kobject_put -> cache_desc_release)
- explicit recursion (create_cache_index_info)
- use of two per-cpu arrays when one would suffice
- duplication of work on systems where CPUs share cache
Also, when I looked at implementing support for a shared_cpu_map
attribute, it was pretty much impossible to handle hotplug without
checking every single online CPU's cache_desc list and fixing things
up... not that this is a hot path, but it would have introduced
O(n^2)-ish behavior during boot. Addressing this involved rethinking
the core data structures used, which didn't lend itself to an
incremental approach.
This implementation maintains a "forest" (potentially more than one
tree) of cache objects which reflects the system's cache topology.
Cache objects are instantiated as needed as CPUs come online. A
per-cpu array is used mainly for sysfs-related bookkeeping; the
objects in the array just point to the appropriate points in the
forest.
This maintains compatibility with the existing code and includes some
enhancements:
- Implement the shared_cpu_map attribute, which is essential for
enabling userspace to discover the system's overall cache topology.
- Use cache-block-size properties if cache-line-size is not available.
I chose to place this implementation in a new file since it would have
roughly doubled the size of sysfs.c, which is already kind of messy.

This patch makes the default install script (arch/powerpc/boot/install.sh)
copy the bootable image files into the install directory. Before this
patch only the vmlinux image file was copied.
This patch makes the default 'make install' command useful for embedded
development when $(INSTALL_PATH) is set in the environment.
As a side effect, this patch changes the calling convention of the
install.sh script. Instead of a single 5th parameter, the script is now
passed a list of all the target images stored in the $(image-y) Makefile
variable. This should be backwards compatible with existing install scripts
since it just adds additional arguments and does not change existing ones.

This makes it less likely that someone will screw it up
forgetting to convert before returning since the vaddr
is always in a void* and the paddr is always in an
unsigned long.

a paddr and one a vaddr, but it does remove a good

There's a problem on some embedded platforms when we re-assign
everything on PCI, such as 44x. The generic code tries to avoid
assigning devices to addresses overlapping the low legacy
addresses such as VGA hard decoded areas using constants that
are unfortunately no good for us, as they don't take into account
the address translation we do to access PCI busses.
Thus we end up allocating things like IO BARs to 0, which is
technically legal, but will shadow hard decoded ports for use
by things like VGA cards.
This works around it by attempting to reserve legacy regions
before we try to assign addresses.
NOTE: This may have nasty side effects in cases I haven't tested
yet:
- We try to use FW mappings (ie. powermac) and the FW has allocated
a conflicting address over those legacy regions. This will typically
happen. I would expect the new code to just fail with an informative
message without harm but I haven't had a chance to test that scenario
yet.
- A device with fixed BARs overlapping those legacy addresses such
as an IDE controller in legacy mode is in the system. I don't know
for sure yet what will happen there, I have to test :-)
Ideally, we should change PCIBIOS_MIN_IO/MIN_MEM accross the board
to take a bus pointer so they can provide appropriate per-bus translated
values to the generic code but that's a more invasive patch. I will
do that in the future, but in the meantime, this fixes the problem
locally

A published errata for ppc440epx states, that when running Linux with
both EHCI and OHCI modules loaded, the EHCI module experiences a fatal
error when a high-speed device is connected to the USB2.0, and
functions normally if OHCI module is not loaded.
There used to be recommendation to use only hi-speed or full-speed
devices with specific conditions, when respective module was unloaded.
Later, it was observed that ohci suspend is enough to keep things
going, and it was turned into workaround, as explained below.
Quote from original descriprion:
The 440EPx USB 2.0 Host controller is an EHCI compliant controller. In
USB 2.0 Host controllers, each EHCI controller has one or more companion
controllers, which may be OHCI or UHCI. An USB 2.0 Host controller will
contain one or more ports. For each port, only one of the controllers
is connected at any one time. In the 440EPx, there is only one OHCI
companion controller, and only one USB 2.0 Host port.
All ports on an USB 2.0 controller default to the companion
controller. If you load only an ohci driver, it will have control of
the ports and any deviceplugged in will operate, although high speed
devices will be forced to operate at full speed. When an ehci driver
is loaded, it explicitly takes control of the ports. If there is a
device connected, and / or every time there is a new device connected,
the ehci driver determines if the device is high speed or not. If it
is high speed, the driver retains control of the port. If it is not,
the driver explicitly gives the companion controller control of the
port.
The is a software workaround that uses
Initial version of the software workaround was posted to
linux-usb-devel:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg54019.html
and later available from amcc.com:
http://www.amcc.com/Embedded/Downloads/download.html?cat=1&family=15&ins=2
The patch below is generally based on the latter, but reworked to

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.
In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.
Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's
sad to see it going neglected.
With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least
for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here
(64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab.
I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline
name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This
shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the
length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on...
I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant:
why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash
size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast
dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how
can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after
get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection.
At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system
with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get
nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry
will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it
would require 4.
I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the
reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast
to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and
faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are
<= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for
33-36 byte names.
Performance is a feature...
