Vitaly Bordug 902f392d01 POWERPC: Add support for the mpc8560 eval board
This makes the 8560 evaluation board fully supported under arch/powerpc,
as the first board with CPM2 SoC peripherals. The brand new devicetree
nodes are introduced (intending to be a subset of the QuiccEngine-equipped
models, with dts sources placed into the kernel according to the new convention.

Assuming all the preceding stuff applied (PAL+fs_enet related+ CPM_UART
update), the both TSEC eth ,FCC Eths, and both SCC UARTs are
working. The relevant drivers are still capable to drive users in ppc,
which was verified with 8272ADS (SCC uart+FCC eth).

This is also verified on mpc8540 and actually make it work (PCI stuff
working as well)

Vitaly Bordug fba4366536 POWERPC: Add cpm2 stuff support to the fsl_soc.c
This patch contains necessary modifications to support the CPM2 SoC peripherals.
For the time being, those are fs_enet Ethernet driver and cpm_uart serial.
Written initially to support mpc8560, it also suites to the part of the large PQ2
(more specifically, mpc8260) family.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt eeac5c142b [POWERPC] Fix G5 DART (IOMMU) race causing occasional data corruption
It seems that the occasional data corruption observed with the tg3
driver wasn't due to missing barriers after all, but rather seems to
be due to the DART (= IOMMU) in the U4 northbridge reading stale
IOMMU table entries from memory due to a race.  This fixes it by
making the CPU read the entry back from memory before using it.

Paul Mackerras f007cacffc [POWERPC] Fix MMIO ops to provide expected barrier behaviour
This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction
before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected
behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed
to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory.

To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering
between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions
have had an sync added before the load.

Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed
to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb()
is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous
behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required.
Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by
__raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock.  If it is
set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it.

This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX.  32-bit already has a
sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus
doesn't need the per-cpu flag.

Tested on G5 (PPC970) and POWER5.

Michael Ellerman f50d4cfc98 [POWERPC] Split out vpa unregister logic from pseries_kexec_cpu_down_xics()
As part of the new irq code pseries_kexec_cpu_down() was split into a
xics and mpic version. The vpa unregister logic is now only done in the
xics routine, and although that's ok in practice (we don't have SPLPAR
machines with mpic), I'd rather have the two concepts stay separate.

So move the vpa unregister into pseries_kexec_cpu_down(), which gets called
by both the xics and mpic routines. This also gives us an obvious place to
put any new kexec-down logic needed in future.

Paul Mundt ccdfc526a9 sh64: Drop deprecated ISA tuning for legacy toolchains.
The original sh64 toolchains required that we tune the ISA
level accordingly to not have head.S/entry.S blow up. With
current toolchains, this is no longer the case, and the
syntax magically changed as well, causing all current
toolchains to die a horrible death.

Incidentally, code generation in other parts of the kernel
is now significantly complex enough that none of the older
toolchains make it very far these days, so there's not
even any point in preserving legacy compatability via
as-option.

This fixes a long-standing issue, as noted here:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/5/223

Though at the time the current toolchains were too broken
to make adjusting the tuning worthwhile.

This code just moves the architecture-specific cross-region checks into
an arch-specific "arch_mmap_check()" macro, and defines that for the
architectures that needed it (ia64, sparc and sparc64).

Architectures that don't have any special requirements can just ignore
the new cross-region check, since the mmap() code will just notice on
its own when the macro isn't defined.

George G. Davis a188ad2bc7 [ARM] 3762/1: Fix ptrace cache coherency bug for ARM1136 VIPT nonaliasing Harvard caches
Patch from George G. Davis

Resolve ARM1136 VIPT non-aliasing cache coherency issues observed when
using ptrace to set breakpoints and cleanup copy_{to,from}_user_page()
while we're here as requested by Russell King because "it's also far
too heavy on non-v6 CPUs".

NOTES:

1. Only access_process_vm() calls copy_{to,from}_user_page().
2. access_process_vm() calls get_user_pages() to pin down the "page".
3. get_user_pages() calls flush_dcache_page(page) which ensures cache
   coherency between kernel and userspace mappings of "page".  However
   flush_dcache_page(page) may not invalidate I-Cache over this range
   for all cases, specifically, I-Cache is not invalidated for the VIPT
   non-aliasing case.  So memory is consistent between kernel and user
   space mappings of "page" but I-Cache may still be hot over this
   range.  IOW, we don't have to worry about flush_cache_page() before
   memcpy().
4. Now, for the copy_to_user_page() case, after memcpy(), we must flush
   the caches so memory is consistent with kernel cache entries and
   invalidate the I-Cache if this mm region is executable.  We don't
   need to do anything after memcpy() for the copy_from_user_page()
   case since kernel cache entries will be invalidated via the same
   process above if we access "page" again.  The flush_ptrace_access()
   function (borrowed from SPARC64 implementation) is added to handle
   cache flushing after memcpy() for the copy_to_user_page() case.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt ca72945d2d [PATCH] powerpc: Fix PowerMac IRQ handling bug
The port to genirq & the new powerpc interrupt model in 2.6.18 introduced a
bug in the legacy PowerMac PIC code (used on older machines) because of a
typo potentially causing hangs due to interrupt storms.  This fixes it,
along with a performance issue causing us to do spurrious retriggers after
masking an interrupt.
