Nathan Lynch 7d2f6075f9 powerpc: kill useless SMT code in prom_hold_cpus
This piece of code is broken for >2 threads, and possibly in some
other subtle ways (such as comparing a value obtained from an
"ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s" property to a value obtained from a
"reg" property) and doesn't seem to have any useful purpose in the
first place other than a dubious warning in case NR_CPUS is too
small, which probably isn't the right place to do so.

David Woodhouse 7f4392cdcc [POWERPC] Efika: Really, don't pretend to be CHRP
Fedora 9 works on Efika without the separate 'device-tree supplement',
thanks to the kernel's own fixups. With one exception -- because 'CHRP'
still appears on the 'machine:' line in /proc/cpuinfo, the installer
misdetects the platform and misconfigures yaboot, putting it into a PReP
boot partition instead of in the /boot filesystem where the Efika's
firmware could find it.

The kernel's fixups for Efika already correct one instance of 'chrp', in
the 'device_type' property. This fixes it in the 'CODEGEN,description'
property too, since that's what's exposed to userspace in /proc/cpuinfo.

Grant Likely 94d2dde738 [POWERPC] Efika: prune fixups and make them more carefull
Prune back Efika fixups to only include changes that are actually required
to get a working system.  Most of the drivers can accept the compatible
properties, even if they don't match the what is recommented in the generic
names recommended practice document.

This patch also adds extra checks so that fixups are not performed blindly.
Instead, the code first verifies that the device tree is faulty before
making any changes.  This way, if the Efika firmware is updated to fix
these issues, then the fixups will no longer get applied.

At this point; here is the list of fixups needed for the efika:
1. If the device_type property on the root node is 'chrp', then Linux won't
   boot.  Change device_type to 'efika' to avoid this condition
2. Add full interrupt list to the bestcomm node.  In actual fact, the
   bestcomm interrupts property is technically correct, it just doesn't
   expose the same granularity as the device driver expects.  All other
   5200 device trees provide a separate irq number for each bestcomm
   channel.  Rather than hack the driver, it's simpler to fix it up
3. /builtin/sound node is missing an interrupts property
4. /builtin/ethernet node is missing a phy-handle property and the
   device driver doesn't know what to do without one.

Jake Moilanen d8c391a559 [POWERPC] Donate idle CPU cycles on dedicated partitions
A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a
shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it
(via the HMC).

This enables that to work properly on P6.

This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the
VPA.  To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and
have the donate bit set in the VPA.  Then call H_CEDE.

The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated
CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to
increase the capacity of the shared CPU pool.

Also rename the VPA's cpuctls_task_attrs field to a more accurate name.

Paul Mackerras 0204568a08 [POWERPC] Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodes
For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an
alternative, more compact representation for the information about the
memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information.  This
adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation.

The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can
handle the alternative representation.  There is however a subtlety
here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory
representation we request is different from the representation that
firmware is currently using.  This is because firmware can't change
the representation on the fly.  Further, some firmware versions used
on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine
with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel
booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000).  Because of
this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we
do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines.
We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the
ibm,client-architecture-support call.

Paul Mackerras 974a76f513 [POWERPC] Distinguish POWER6 partition modes and tell userspace
This adds code to look at the properties firmware puts in the device
tree to determine what compatibility mode the partition is in on
POWER6 machines, and set the ELF aux vector AT_HWCAP and AT_PLATFORM
entries appropriately.

Specifically, we look at the cpu-version property in the cpu node(s).
If that contains a "logical" PVR value (of the form 0x0f00000x), we
call identify_cpu again with this PVR value.  A value of 0x0f000001
indicates the partition is in POWER5+ compatibility mode, and a value
of 0x0f000002 indicates "POWER6 architected" mode, with various
extensions disabled.  We also look for various other properties:
ibm,dfp, ibm,purr and ibm,spurr.

We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out
I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can
clean this mess up.

Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated
above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens
we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it.

This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we
do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify
lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well.

On logically-partitioned machines the first element of the reg
property in the memory node is defined to be the "RMO" region,
i.e. the memory that the processor can access in real mode.  On other
machines the first element has no special meaning, so only take it to

Anton Blanchard f1870f772c [PATCH] powerpc64: remove broken/bitrotted HMT support
HMT support is currently broken and needs to be reworked to play nicely
with the SMT scheduler. Remove the bit rotten bits for the time being.

I also updated an incorrect comment, we enter __secondary_hold with the
physical cpu id in r3.

Michael Ellerman cdc3ee8f20 [PATCH] powerpc: Refuse to boot a kdump kernel via OF
You can't boot a kdump kernel via OF, not reliably anyway, the kernel being at
32 MB conflicts with the zImage wrapper etc. and it blows up.

It's trivial to check in prom_init though, and this is early enough that we can
actually drop back to OF where a reset-all will get you going again, which is
kinda nice. I think this should go in for 2.6.16.

Haren Myneni 8385a6a3ac [PATCH] powerpc: Fix kdump copy regs and dynamic allocate per-cpu crash notes
- This contains the arch specific changes for the following the
kdump generic fixes which were already accepted in the upstream.
       .   Capturing CPU registers (for the case of 'panic' and invoking
the dump using 'sysrq-trigger') from a function (stack frame) which will
be not be available during the kdump boot. Hence, might result in
invalid stack trace.
       .   Dynamically allocating per cpu ELF notes section instead of
statically for NR_CPUS.

- Fix the compiler warning in prom_init.c.
