758438a7b8 [PATCH] powerpc: Fixups for kernel linked at 32 MB
There's a few places where we need to fix things up for the kernel to work
if it's linked at 32MB:

 - platforms/powermac/smp.c
   To start secondary cpus on pmac we patch the reset vector, which is fine.
   Except if we're above 32MB we don't have enough bits for an absolute branch,
   it needs to relative.
 - kernel/head_64.s
    - A few branches in the cpu hold code need to load the full target address
      and do a bctr.
    - after_prom_start needs to load PHYSICAL_START as the dest address, not 0.
    - The exception prolog needs to load the low word of the target adddress,
      not just the low halfword.
    - Fixup handling of the initial stab address.
 - kernel/setup_64.c
   smp_release_cpus() needs to write 1 to the spinloop flag near 0, not 32 MB.

0cc4746cad [PATCH] powerpc: Reroute interrupts from 0 + offset to PHYSICAL_START + offset
Regardless of where the kernel's linked we always get interrupts at low
addresses. This patch creates a trampoline in the first 3 pages of memory,
where interrupts land, and patches those addresses to jump into the real
kernel code at PHYSICAL_START.

We also need to reserve the trampoline code and a bit more in prom.c

8c4f1f2958 [PATCH] powerpc: Create a trampoline for the fwnmi vectors
The fwnmi vectors can be anywhere < 32 MB, so we need to use a trampoline
for them. The kdump kernel will register the trampoline addresses, which will
then jump up to the real code above 32 MB.

b5666f7039 [PATCH] powerpc: Separate usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET
This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't
looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on
PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries.

This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1
gazillion for 64-bit.

To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET,
_not_ KERNELBASE.

KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's
often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_.

If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel
you should subtract KERNELBASE.

51fae6de24 [PATCH] powerpc: Add a is_kernel_addr() macro
There's a bunch of code that compares an address with KERNELBASE to see if
it's a "kernel address", ie. >= KERNELBASE. The proper test is actually to
compare with PAGE_OFFSET, since we're going to change KERNELBASE soon.

So replace all of them with an is_kernel_addr() macro that does that.

fb64c2446b [PATCH] ppc32: m8xx watchdog update
This updates m8xx_wdt as follows:

1) Remove now obsolete fpos check in the write() function. The driver is
currently non functional due to this bug.

2) Use in/out macros for register access.

3) Allows m8xx_wdt to use a kernel timer instead of the builtin RTC/PIT
for keep-alive trigger (which is responsible for servicing the watchdog
until an userspace application takes over). For instance Cyclades PRxK
boards (MPC 855T based) have a non-functional internal RTC/PIT unit.
Behaviour for boards with RTC/PIT is unchaged.

4) The last change required moving the RTCSC register setting code
to a weak function which can be overriden by board specific files.
Otherwise the timer init code trashes the register making it impossible
for m8xx_wdt to detect the situation.

This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the

stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In
addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well,
approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations.
The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify
them in a later patch.

For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using
"btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg
output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a
later patch.

some heuristics in prom.c that pre-parse addresses at boot and fill
device-nodes "addrs", but those are dodgy at best and I want to
deprecate them. So this patch introduces a new set of routines that
should be capable of parsing most types of addresses and translating
them into CPU physical addresses. It currently works for things on PCI
busses and ISA busses and should work on "standard" busses like the root
bus or the MacIO bus that don't put funky flags in addresses. If you
have other bus types that do use funky flags, you'll have to add new bus
type translators, which is fairly easy.

Needs this unless your binutils, like mine, are clever enough to notice
my stupidity and fix it up automatically...

8b3d6663c6 [PATCH] spufs: cooperative scheduler support
This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use
more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the
system.

Currently, there is no support for preempting a running
SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering
an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the
owning thread or by sending a signal to it.

This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU
in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore
to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath
us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change
the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save
or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore
to read-only.

05b841174c [PATCH] spufs: add spu-side context switch code
Add the source code that is used to generate spu_save_dump.h and
spu_restore_dump.h. Since a full spu tool chain is needed to
generate these files, the default remains to use the shipped
versions in order to keep the number of tools for building the
kernel down.

5473af049d [PATCH] spufs: switchable spu contexts
Add some infrastructure for saving and restoring the context of an
SPE. This patch creates a new structure that can hold the whole
state of a physical SPE in memory. It also contains code that
avoids races during the context switch and the binary code that
is loaded to the SPU in order to access its registers.

The actual PPE- and SPE-side context switch code are two separate
patches.
