This zImage is really just the stripped vmlinux, but it means that there is one less special case for iSeries and also that the zImages will be built for a combined kernel build that happens to include iSeries. This zImage boots fine on legacy iSeries. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

I think we have a subtle race on ppc64 with the tlb batching. The common code expects tlb_flush() to actually flush any pending TLB batch. It does that because it delays all page freeing until after tlb_flush() is called, in order to ensure no stale reference to those pages exist in any TLB, thus causing potential access to the freed pages. However, our tlb_flush only triggers the RCU for freeing page table pages, it does not currently trigger a flush of a pending TLB/hash batch, which is, I think, an error. This fixes it.

The recent addition of assembler flags for 44x.c and ebony.c in the bootwrapper to make them compile on certain toolchains was not correct and could break other platforms. This patch switches to using a compiler flag instead, which implies the appropriate assembler flag, and also stops the compiler itself generating instructions which are invalid for the platform in question.

The ppc32 kernel didn't properly set/clear the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag, causing return from syscalls to not SIGTRAP, thus executing one more instruction before stopping again. This fixes it. The ptrace code is a bit of a mess, and is overdue for at least a -proper- 32/64 bits split and possibly more cleanups but this minimum fix should be ok for 2.6.22 Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Fix two races in the timer stats lookup code. One by ensuring that the initialization of a new entry is finished upon insertion of that entry. The other by cleaning up the hash table when the entries array is cleared, so that we don't have any "pre-inserted" entries. Thanks to Eric Dumazet for reminding me of the memory barriers.

This code corrects the behavior of the t2_readX/t2_writeX routines, and t2_ioreadNN/t2_iowriteNN routines. The value T2_DENSE_MEM is now subtracted from the "xaddr" argument in each of the readX/writeX routines, since those routines may be called directly, rather than always through the ioreadNN/iowriteNN routines. Examples of the direct calls, via the __raw_readX/writeX macros, are the memcpy_fromio/toio, _memset_c_io, and scr_memcpyw routines.

This code replaces earlier and incomplete handling of graphics on non-zero PCI domains (aka hoses or peer PCI buses). An option (CONFIG_VGA_HOSE) is set TRUE if configuring a GENERIC kernel, or a kernel for MARVEL, TITAN, or TSUNAMI machines, as these are the machines whose SRM consoles are capable of configuring and handling graphics options on non-zero hoses. All other machines have the option set FALSE. A routine, "find_console_vga_hose()", is used to find the graphics device which the machine's firmware believes is the console device, and it sets a global (pci_vga_hose) for later use in managing access to the device. This is called in "init_arch" on TITAN and TSUNAMI machines; MARVEL machines use a custom version of this routine because of extra complexity. A routine, "locate_and_init_vga()", is used to find the graphics device and set a global (pci_vga_hose) for later use in managing access to the device, in the case where "find_console_vga_hose" has failed. Various adjustments are made to the ioremap and ioportmap routines for detecting and translating "legacy" VGA register and memory references to the real PCI domain.

Haavard Skinnemoen authored
When either rx_buf or tx_buf is not being used, i.e. for plain read- or write operations, the atmel_spi uses a fixed-size DMA buffer instead. If the transfer is longer than the size of this buffer, it is split into multiple DMA transfers. When the transfer is split like this, the atmel_spi driver ends up using the same DMA address again and again even for the buffer that came from the user, which is of course wrong. Fix this by adding the number of bytes already transferred to the DMA address so that the data ends up in the right place. Thanks to Wu Xuan for discovering this bug.

Intel Macs (and possibly other machines) provide a PNP entry for the RTC, but provide no IRQ. As a result the rtc-cmos driver doesn't allow wakeup alarms.
