This is a trivial 4xx plaform that uses the new simple bsp from Josh and is handy to use in simulators such as ISS or even Mambo who don't properly implement most of the actual devices in the SoC but really only the core. Signed-off-by:

476 requires an isync after loading MMU and debug related SPR's. Some of these are in performance-critical paths and may need to be optimized, but initially, we're playing it safe. Signed-off-by:

The 47x core's MCSR varies from 44x, so it needs it's own machine check handler. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the base support for the 476 processor. The code was primarily written by Ben Herrenschmidt and Torez Smith, but I've been maintaining it for a while. The goal is to have a single binary that will run on 44x and 47x, but we still have some details to work out. The biggest is that the L1 cache line size differs on the two platforms, but it's currently a compile-time option. Signed-off-by:

The 47x platform supports multiple cores and shares code with 44x. Break out code that is common for initializing the primary and secondary cpus into a function which can be called for both. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a marker to the exception stack frame to aid in debugging. It's already inserted on other platforms and xmon recognizes it and identifies exception frames when showing stack traces. Signed-off-by:

The current setting for SECTION_SIZE_BITS is quite small compared to everyone else: arch/powerpc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 24 arch/sparc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 30 arch/ia64/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS (30) arch/s390/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 28 arch/x86/include/asm/sparsemem.h:# define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 27 And it has proven to be an issue during boot on very large machines. If hotplug memory is enabled, drivers/base/memory.c does this: for (i = 0; i < NR_MEM_SECTIONS; i++) { if (!present_section_nr(i)) continue; err = add_memory_block(0, __nr_to_section(i), MEM_ONLINE, 0, BOOT); if (!ret) ret = err; } Which creates a sysfs directory for every 16MB of memory. As a result I'm seeing up to 30 minutes spent here during boot: c000000000248ee0 .__sysfs_add_one+0x28/0x128 c0000000002492a8 .sysfs_add_one+0x38/0x188 c000000000249c88 .create_dir+0x70/0x138 c000000000249d98 .sysfs_create_dir+0x48/0x78 c00000000032bad8 .kobject_add_internal+0x140/0x308 c00000000032beb4 .kobject_init_and_add+0x4c/0x68 c00000000046c2c0 .sysdev_register+0xa0/0x220 c00000000047b1dc .add_memory_block+0x124/0x1e8 c0000000008d1f28 .memory_dev_init+0xf4/0x168 c0000000008d1b64 .driver_init+0x50/0x64 c000000000890378 .do_basic_setup+0x40/0xd4 I assume there are some O(n^2) issues in sysfs as we add all the memory nodes. Bumping SECTION_SIZE_BITS to 256 MB drops the time to about 10 seconds and results in a much smaller /sys. Signed-off-by:Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by:

We have had issues in the past with ibm,os-term initiating shutdown of a partition. This is confusing to the user, especially if panic_timeout is non zero. The temporary fix was to avoid calling ibm,os-term if a panic_timeout was set and since we set it on every boot we basically never call ibm,os-term. An extended version of ibm,os-term has since been implemented which gives us the behaviour we want: "When the platform supports extended ibm,os-term behavior, the return to the RTAS will always occur unless there is a kernel assisted dump active as initiated by an ibm,configure-kernel-dump call." This patch checks for the ibm,extended-os-term property and calls ibm,os-term if it exists. Signed-off-by:

I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets enabled via this: /* * If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better * to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node. */ if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE) zone_reclaim_mode = 1; Since we use the default value of 20 for REMOTE_DISTANCE and 20 for RECLAIM_DISTANCE it never kicks in. The local to remote bandwidth ratios can be quite large on System p machines so it makes sense for us to reclaim clean pagecache locally before going off node. The patch below sets a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE and thus enables zone reclaim. Signed-off-by: -

Commit 0119536c, which added the assembly version of strncmp to powerpc, mentions that it adds two instructions to the version from boot/string.S to allow it to handle len=0. Unfortunately, it doesn't always return 0 when that is the case. The length is passed in r5, but the return value is passed back in r3. In certain cases, this will happen to work. Otherwise it will pass back the address of the first string as the return value. This patch lifts the len <= 0 handling code from memcpy to handle that case.
