powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm

2008-08-04T02:02:00Z

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

powerpc/mm: Lockless get_user_pages_fast() for 64-bit (v3)

2008-07-30T05:26:54Z

Implement lockless get_user_pages_fast for 64-bit powerpc. Page table existence is guaranteed with RCU, and speculative page references are used to take a reference to the pages without having a prior existence guarantee on them.

cpm2: Rework baud rate generators configuration to support external clocks.

2008-07-28T13:47:45Z

The CPM2 BRG setup functions cpm_setbrg and cpm2_fastbrg don't support external clocks. This patch adds a new exported __cpm2_setbrg function that takes the clock rate and clock source as extra parameters, and moves cpm_setbrg and cpm2_fastbrg to include/asm-powerpc/cpm2.h where they become inline wrappers around __cpm2_setbrg.

cpm2: Implement GPIO LIB API on CPM2 Freescale SoC.

2008-07-28T12:40:48Z

This patch implement GPIO LIB support for the CPM2 GPIOs. The code can also be used for CPM1 GPIO port E, as both cores are compatible at the register level. Based on earlier work by Laurent Pinchart. Signed-off-by: Jochen Friedrich Cc: Laurent Pinchart Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala

powerpc/mm: Implement _PAGE_SPECIAL & pte_special() for 64-bit

2008-07-28T06:30:52Z

Implement _PAGE_SPECIAL and pte_special() for 64-bit powerpc. This bit will be used by the fast get_user_pages() to differenciate PTEs that correspond to a valid struct page from special mappings that don't such as IO mappings obtained via io_remap_pfn_ranges().

powerpc: Make core id information available to userspace

2008-07-28T06:30:52Z

Existing Open Firmware practice is to report each processor core as a separate node in the device tree. Report the value of the "reg" OF property corresponding to a logical CPU's device node as the core_id attribute in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/core_id.

powerpc: Make core sibling information available to userspace

2008-07-28T06:30:51Z

Implement the notion of "core siblings" for powerpc. This makes /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/core_siblings present sensible values, indicating online CPUs which share an L2 cache.

powerpc: Add TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support for tracehook

2008-07-28T06:30:50Z

This adds TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support for powerpc. When set, we call tracehook_notify_resume() on the way to user mode. This overloads do_signal() to do the work, but changes its arguments to it has the TIF_* bits handy in a register and drops the useless first argument that was always zero.

powerpc: Add asm/syscall.h with the tracehook entry points

2008-07-28T06:30:49Z

Add asm/syscall.h for powerpc with all the required entry points. This will allow arch-independent tracing code for system calls. BenH: Fixed up use of regs->trap to properly mask low bit Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt
