00c5372d37 powerpc/fsl_uli1575: fix RTC quirk to work on MPC8572DS and MPC8610HPCD
This patch fixes RTC on MPC8572DS boards: dummy read helps only when
reading at the end of the bridge's memory (i.e. outside of behind the
bridge devices' assigned regions).

With this change the quirk also makes RTC work on MPC8610HPCD, so it's
unlikely that this will break MPC8641HPCN or MPC8544DS boards.

c0a2015965 powerpc/83xx: fix ULPI setup for MPC8315 processors
We must not use MPC831X_SICR[HL]_* definitions for the MPC8315 processors,

b500563b22 powerpc: pci config cleanup
Choosing PCI or not at config time is allowed on some
platforms via an if expression in arch/powerpc/Kconfig.
To add a new platform with PCI support selectable at
config time, you must change the if expression.  This
patch makes this easier by changing:
    bool "PCI support" if <long expression>
to
    bool "PCI support" if PPC_PCI_CHOICE
and adding select PPC_PCI_CHOICE to all the config nodes that
were previously in the PCI if expression.

Platforms with unconditional PCI support continue to
just select PCI in their config nodes.

443dcac4d8 powerpc: Remove unnecessary condition when sanity-checking WIMG bits
It is okay for both _PAGE_GUARDED and _PAGE_COHERENT (G and M) to be set
in the same pte.  In fact, even if that were not the case, there doesn't
seem to be any place where G is set without also setting I (_PAGE_NO_CACHE),
so the test for I is sufficient as a condition to clear _PAGE_COHERENT
when filling the hash table.

On MPC5200 the PCI target control register (PCITCR) @ MBAR + 0xD6C is
initialized with only bit 7 (Latrule disable) set. The 8-Bit write
combine timer (Bits 24..31) should be also set to a reasonable value
_greater zero_ (0x08 = default) since setting it to 0x00 leads to
_very poor_ performance as a PCI target since external burst won't be
possible at all.

Setting the WCT to 0x08 (cache-line size) leads to good overall perfomance.

3c3f67eafa powerpc/pseries: Update the device tree correctly for drconf memory add/remove
This updates the device tree manipulation routines so that memory
add/remove of lmbs represented under the
ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node of the device tree invokes the
hotplug notifier chain.

This change is needed because of the change in the way memory is
represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node.  All lmbs
are described in the ibm,dynamic-memory property instead of having a
separate node for each lmb as in previous device tree layouts.  This
requires the update_node() routine to check for updates to the
ibm,dynamic-memory property and invoke the hotplug notifier chain.

This also updates the pseries hotplug notifier to be able to gather information
for lmbs represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node and
have the lmbs added/removed.

92ecd1790b powerpc/pseries: Use base address to derive starting page frame number
Use the base address of the lmb to derive the starting page frame number
instead of trying to extract it from the drc index of the lmb.  The drc
index should not be used for this as it will, and did, break.

Until this point, systems that have had memory represented in the device
tree with a node for each lmb the drc index would (luckily) closely
track the base address of the lmb.  For example a lmb with a drc index
of 8000000a would have a base address of a0000000.  This correlation
allowed the current code to derive the starting page frame number from
the drc inddex

Device tree layouts where lmbs are represented under the
ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node in the ibm,dynamic-memory
property do not have this correlation between the drc index and base
address of the lmb.

This is an issue on systems where the value of

a large negative number, and simple_strtoul() does not handle negative

e7a57273c6 powerpc: Allow create_branch() to return errors
Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and
patches it into the call site.  In some circumstances it would be nice
to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some
code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before
doing the patching.  A future commit will change create_branch() to
check for errors.

For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with
patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly.

While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *,
as this seems to match usage better.  That allows (and requires) us to
remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and
mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as
an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change
across the patch_branch() call.

aaddd3eaca powerpc: Move code patching code into arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c
We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because
they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add
some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to
be inlined.

While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended
caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something
different.

3a8247cc2c powerpc: Only demote individual slices rather than whole process
At present, if we have a kernel with a 64kB page size, and some
process maps something that has to be mapped with 4kB pages (such as a
cache-inhibited mapping on POWER5+, or the eHCA infiniband queue-pair
pages), we change the process to use 4kB pages everywhere.  This hurts
the performance of HPC programs that access eHCA from userspace.

With this patch, the kernel will only demote the slice(s) containing
the eHCA or cache-inhibited mappings, leaving the remaining slices
able to use 64kB hardware pages.

This also changes the slice_get_unmapped_area code so that it is
willing to place a 64k-page mapping into (or across) a 4k-page slice
if there is no better alternative, i.e. if the program specified
MAP_FIXED or if there is not sufficient space available in slices that
are either empty or already have 64k-page mappings in them.

5acb08070d powerpc/cell: Disable ptcal in case of crash kdump
We need to disable ptcal before starting a new kernel after a crash,
in order to avoid overwriting data in the kdump kernel.
