Instead of all of this cpu-specific code to remap the kernel to the correct location, use portable firmware calls to do this instead. What we do now is the following in position independant assembler: chosen_node = prom_finddevice("/chosen"); prom_mmu_ihandle_cache = prom_getint(chosen_node, "mmu"); vaddr = 4MB_ALIGN(current_text_addr()); prom_translate(vaddr, &paddr_high, &paddr_low, &mode); prom_boot_mapping_mode = mode; prom_boot_mapping_phys_high = paddr_high; prom_boot_mapping_phys_low = paddr_low; prom_map(-1, 8 * 1024 * 1024, KERNBASE, paddr_low); and that replaces the massive amount of by-hand TLB probing and programming we used to do here. The new code should also handle properly the case where the kernel is mapped at the correct address already (think: future kexec support). Consequently, the bulk of remap_kernel() dies as does the entirety of arch/sparc64/prom/map.S We try to share some strings in the PROM library with the ones used at bootup, and while we're here mark input strings to oplib.h routines with "const" when appropriate. There are many more simplifications now possible. For one thing, we can consolidate the two copies we now have of a lot of cpu setup code sitting in head.S and trampoline.S. This is a significant step towards CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Because we don't access the PAGE_OFFSET linear mappings any longer before we take over the trap table from the firmware, we don't need to load dummy mappings there into the TLB and we don't need the bootmap_base hack any longer either. While we are here, check for a larger than 8MB kernel and halt the boot with an error message. We know that doesn't work, so instead of failing mysteriously we should let the user know exactly what's wrong. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Just allocate them physically starting from the end of the kernel image. This incredibly simplifies our MM bootstrap in that we don't need any mappings in the linear PAGE_OFFSET area working in order to bootstrap ourselves and take over the trap table from the firmware. Many further simplifications are possible now, and this also sets the stage for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This was kind of ugly, and actually buggy. The bug was that we didn't handle a machine with memory starting > 4GB. If the 'prompmd' was allocated in physical memory > 4GB we'd croak because the obp_iaddr_patch and obp_daddr_patch things only supported a 32-bit physical address. So fix this by just loading the appropriate values from two variables in the kernel image, which is locked into the TLB and thus accesses to them can't cause a recursive TLB miss.

The header declaring this function wasn't included, so the function declaration was totally bogus wrt. the proto - even if this wasn't going to fail at all. It was so bad that the compile warning I got was "control reaches end of non-void function", i.e. missing return. Actually, this has been there for ages, the consolidation patch just added the warning which was needed to clean it up. Nice. Really.

Explain why the casting we do to silence this warning is indeed safe. It is because the field we're casting from, though being 64-bit wide, was filled with a pointer in first place by ourselves.

Even if with a bit of misunderstanding, Al fixed this in commit 95608261. Well, the symbol was intended to come from userspace (it exists there on normal host), but since some hosts may miss that, using the kernel one is just as fine. However, rename it to be named consistently with the rest. Actually, he missed converting ELFCLASS32 to coming from kernel headers. For consistence, add ELFCLASS64 too.

I am a lamer :-(. Luckily, Luo Xin performed LTP testing and found this failure. Btw, the fact that the patch in which I introduced this was merged shows that: a) I'm really trusted by people b) sometimes they're wrong about point a). c) lack of time for reviewers.

As recently done by Russell King for ARM, commit 4732efbe introduces a generic asm/futex.h copied along most arches, which includes a "-ENOSYS support" to be changed if needed. However, it includes an unused var (taken from the "real" version) which GCC warns about. Remove it from all arches having that file version (i.e. same GIT id). $ git-diff-tree -r HEAD and $ git-ls-tree -r HEAD include/|grep 9feff4ce1424bc390608326240be369eb13aa648 may be more interesting than looking at the patch itself, to make sure I've just copied the arm header to all other archs having the original dummy version of this file.

Follow up to 4732efbe - uml must just reuse as-is the backing architecture support. There is a micro-fixup is needed for the included file, which won't affect i386 behaviour at all. I've not tested compilation on x86_64, only on x86, but the code is almost the same except the culprit test, so everything should be ok on x86_64 too.

zImage.vmode was recently added. It's a version of zImage in which the ELF note section used by open firmware indicates that it requires a virtual mode instance of OF instead of real mode. This allows it to work with Apple OF, and thus is directly bootable (or netbootable) from OF command line. (Unfortunately, pSeries OF sort-of requires real mode and Apple OF sort-of requires virtual mode, and both tend to be unhappy if no notes section specifies the mode at all). However, we forgot to add zImage.vmode to the default G5 build. This fixes it.

Some RS64 systems (such as F80) have non-python host bridges with EADS. However, they have two EADS with 4 buses each under them, so the old logic that assumed no more than 7 busses per PHB failed miserably. Big thanks to Olaf Hering for helping me test this, he's got one of the few machines that broke from the previous logic. Also, to be a bit smarter at detecting the need for a PHB-level IOMMU table by checking for the presence of an ISA bus. Only PHBs with ISA bridges should need the PHB-level table.

ia64's sched_clock() accesses per-cpu data which isn't set up at boot time. Hence ia64 cannot use printk timestamping, because printk() will crash in sched_clock(). So make printk() use printk_clock(), defaulting to sched_clock(), overrideable by the architecture via attribute(weak).
