This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware device-tree on ppc and ppc64. It does the following things: - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may exist with the same name as a child node of the parent. We now simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in /proc with random result... - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was buggy and didn't always work anyway. - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching dentry and inode cache bloat. This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

This is the ppc32 patch equivalent to the just posted ppc64 one working around a bug in Apple device-trees regarding the "cpus" nodes. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Apple's Open Firmware has a funny bug when creating the /cpus nodes where it leaves a dangling '\0' character in the CPU name which ends up appearing in the full path of the node. This is bogus and confuses /proc/device-tree badly. This patch strips those bogus zero's from the node full path when reading the device-tree from Open Firmware. The "name" property is not modified and still contains the spurrious 0 (it basically contains 0 tailing 0 instead of one) but that shouldn't be a problem. An equivalent patch for ppc32 will follow shortly Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The initial peek read PIO of the match register is just a waste. Just do the flush writes first, as that is more efficient. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

[PATCH] [4/5] ondemand governor automatic downscaling Here is a change of policy for the ondemand governor. The modification concerns the frequency downscaling. Instead of decreasing to a lower frequency when the CPU usage is under 20%, this new policy automatically scales to the optimal frequency. The optimal frequency being the lowest frequency which provides enough power to not trigger the upscaling policy.

A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches just posted. This one is more suitable for battery environments where its probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease rather than flip between the min and max freq's. N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements (200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.

With the release of the dual-core AMD Opterons last week, it's high time that cpufreq supported them. The attached patch applies cleanly to 2.6.12-rc3 and updates powernow-k8 to support the latest Athlon 64 and Opteron processors. Update the driver to version 1.40.0 and provide support for dual-core processors. Signed-off-by: Mark Langsdorf <mark.langsdorf@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

We have to recalibrate cpu_khz in order to use the current FID instead the max FID since some BIOS do not put the processor at maximum frequency at POST. Also, some BIOS will change the processor frequency at our back after cpu_khz was calibrate. Finally, this will fix a long standing bug when we do something like this: # rmmod powernow-k7 # modprobe powernow-k7 Signed-off-by: Bruno Ducrot <ducrot@poupinou.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

Firstly, if the direction is TODEVICE, then dirty data in the streaming cache is impossible so we can elide the flush-flag synchronization in that case. Next, the context allocator is broken. It is highly likely that contexts get used multiple times for different dma mappings, which confuses the strbuf flushing code and makes it run inefficiently. Signed-off-by: David S.

flush_icache_range() is used in two different situation - in binfmt_elf.c & co for user space mappings and module.c for kernel modules. On m68k flush_icache_range() doesn't know which data to flush, as it has separate address spaces and the pointer argument can be valid in either address space. First I considered splitting flush_icache_range(), but this patch is simpler. Setting the correct context gives flush_icache_range() enough information to flush the correct data.
