<content type='text'>
IBM Cell Blades used the Cell processor and the "blade" server form
factor. They were sold as models QS20, QS21 &amp; QS22 from roughly 2006 to
2012 [1]. They were used in a few supercomputers (eg. Roadrunner) that
have since been dismantled, and were not that widely used otherwise.

Until recently I still had a working QS22, which meant I was able to
keep the platform support working, but unfortunately that machine has
now died.

I'm not aware of any users. If there is a user that wants to keep the
upstream support working, we can look at bringing some of the code back
as appropriate.

See previous discussion at [2].

Remove the top-level config symbol PPC_IBM_CELL_BLADE, and then
the dependent symbols PPC_CELL_NATIVE, PPC_CELL_COMMON, CBE_RAS,
PPC_IBM_CELL_RESETBUTTON, PPC_IBM_CELL_POWERBUTTON, CBE_THERM, and
AXON_MSI. Then remove the associated C files and headers, and trim
unused header content (some is shared with PS3).

Note that PPC_CELL_COMMON sounds like it would build code shared with
PS3, but it does not. It's a relic from when code was shared between the
Blade support and QPACE support.

Most of the primary authors already have CREDITS entries, with the
exception of Christian, so add one for him.

<title>powerpc: Explicitly include correct DT includes</title>

<content type='text'>
The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

ppc_md.calibrate_decr() is a mandatory item. Its nullity is never
checked so it must be non null on all platforms.

Most platforms define generic_calibrate_decr() as their
ppc_md.calibrate_decr(). Have time_init() call
generic_calibrate_decr() when ppc_md.calibrate_decr() is NULL,
and remove default assignment from all machines.

<title>mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e31cf2f4ca422ac9b14ecc4a1295b8977a20f812</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done
