      powerpc: Update a BKL related comment · 0f6b77ca
      Alessio Igor Bogani authored
      The commit 5e3d20a6 remove bkl from startup code so setup_arch() it isn't called
      with bkl held anymore. Update the comment on top of that function.
      Fix also a typo.

      This appears to be due to checking the wrong permission bits in the
      instruction_tlb_miss handling if the address that faulted was in vmalloc
      space.  We need to look at the supervisor execute (_PAGE_BAP_SX) bit and
      not the user bit (_PAGE_BAP_UX/_PAGE_EXEC).
      
      Also removed a branch level since it did not appear to be used.

      powerpc: Fix call to subpage_protection() · 1c2c25c7

        powerpc/mm: Fix pgtable cache cleanup with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT
        commit d28513bc
        Author: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
      
      subpage_protection() was changed to to take an mm rather a pgdir but it
      didn't change calling site in hashpage_preload().  The change wasn't
      noticed at compile time since hashpage_preload() used a void* as the
      parameter to subpage_protection().
      
      This is obviously wrong and can trigger the following crash when
      CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES
      CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT are enabled.

      powerpc: Set CONFIG_32BIT on ppc32 · 234a71a7
      kerstin jonsson authored
      commit ffe8018c of the -mm tree
      fixes the initramfs size calculation for e.g. s390 but breaks it
      for 32bit architectures which do not define CONFIG_32BIT.
      
      This patch fix the problem for PPC32 which will elsewise end up
      with a __initramfs_size of 0.

      powerpc/pseries: Don't override CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES_DEBUG · 01cf6fe8
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored
      EEH and pci_dlpar #undef DEBUG, but I think they were added before the
      ability to control this from Kconfig. It's really annoying to only get
      some of the debug messages from these files. Leave the lpar.c #undef
      alone as it produces so much output as to make the kernel unusable.
      Update the Kconfig text to indicate this particular quirk :)
