7bff3c4ce4 ARM: DaVinci: evm sets up many devices
Update DaVinci EVM board setup to work with key drivers which are
now in mainline kernels:

 - I2C adapter (driver: i2c_davinci)
    * three gpio expanders (driver: pcf8574) used for
       - LEDs
       - audio codec control
       - misc device control (including USB VBUS, IDE-vs-CF)
    * at24 (driver: at24) eeprom
 - USB controller (driver: musb_hdrc)
 - IDE controller (driver: palm_bk3710)

This board is the first in-tree client for a number of those drivers,
and adding this board support means the EVM board can be used for some
"real work" ... excepting "DaVinci Technology" video and DSP support
(also available in most OMAP3 chips).

Also renames the flash as "evm_norflash", since NAND may be jumpered.

(Patch contains work by myself, Kevin Hilman, Sergei Shtylyov.)

612f9d338a powerpc: Fix interrupt values for DMA2 in MPC8610 HPCD device tree
For Freescale 8xxx devices that use an MPIC, the interrupt numbers in
the device tree must be 16 greater than the values documented in the
reference manual.  In these chips, the MPIC is wired to use the first
16 numbers for external interrupts, but the documentation numbers
internal interrupts from 0.

In the MPC8610 HPCD device tree, the interrupt properties for the DMA
channels for DMA2 were not the adjusted values.  This fixes that.

9843099ff4 sparc64: Fix SMP bootup with CONFIG_STACK_DEBUG or ftrace.
Based upon a report by Meelis Roos.

Any function call can try to access the current
thread register via the _mcount hooks when the kernel
is built with -pg (via ftrace or STACK_DEBUG).

That can't be setup properly very early on during
the bootup of other cpus for sun4u and some early
sun4v systems.

So add notrace markers to these specific functions, so
that _mcount doesn't get invoked too early.

fc38151947 x86: add X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K
This bugzilla:

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237

Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first
64K of physical memory during suspend/resume and other hardware events.

Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems.
Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this,
so we try to be robust by default.

Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K
of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via
CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n.

Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other
early reservations.

1e22436eba x86: reserve low 64K on AMI and Phoenix BIOS boxen
there's multiple reports about suspend/resume related low memory
corruption in this bugzilla:

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237

the common pattern is that the corruption is caused by the BIOS,
and that it affects some portion of the first 64K of physical RAM.

So add a DMI quirk

This will waste 64K RAM on 'good' systems too, but without knowing
the exact nature of this BIOS memory corruption this is the safest
approach.

This might as well solve a wide range of suspend/resume breakages
under Linux.

5649b7c303 x86: add DMI quirk for AMI BIOS which corrupts address 0xc000 during resume
Alan Jenkins and Andy Wettstein reported a suspend/resume memory
corruption bug and extensively documented it here:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237

The bug is that the BIOS overwrites 1K of memory at 0xc000 physical,
without registering it in e820 as reserved or giving the kernel any
idea about this.

Detect AMI BIOSen and reserve that 1K.

We paint this bug around with a very broad brush (reserving that 1K on all
AMI BIOS systems), as the bug was extremely hard to find and needed several
weeks and lots of debugging and patching.

The bug was found via the CONFIG_X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y debug feature,
if similar bugs are suspected then this feature can be enabled on other
systems as well to scan low memory for corrupted memory.

0b26425ce1 powerpc: Clean up hugepage pagetable allocation for powerpc with 16G pages
There is a small bug in the handling of 16G hugepages recently added
to the kernel.  This doesn't cause a crash or other user-visible
problems, but it does mean that more levels of pagetable are allocated
than makes sense for 16G pages.  The hugepage pagetables for the 16G
pages are allocated much lower in the pagetable tree than they should
be, with the intervening levels allocated with full pmd and pud pages
which will only ever have one entry filled in.

This corrects this problem, at the same time cleaning up the handling
of which level 64k versus 16M hugepage pagetables are allocated at.
The new way of formatting the tests should be more robust against
changes in pagetable structure, or any newly added hugepage sizes.

150c6c8fec powerpc: Make the irq reverse mapping radix tree lockless
The radix trees used by interrupt controllers for their irq reverse
mapping (currently only the XICS found on pSeries) have a complex
locking scheme dating back to before the advent of the lockless radix
tree.

This takes advantage of the lockless radix tree and of the fact that
the items of the tree are pointers to a static array (irq_map)
elements which can never go under us to simplify the locking.

Concurrency between readers and writers is handled by the intrinsic
properties of the lockless radix tree.  Concurrency between writers is
handled with a global mutex.

967e012ef3 powerpc: Separate the irq radix tree insertion and lookup
irq_radix_revmap() currently serves 2 purposes, irq mapping lookup
and insertion which happen in interrupt and process context respectively.

Separate the function into its 2 components, one for lookup only and one
for insertion only.

Fix the only user of the revmap tree (XICS) to use the new functions.

Also, move the insertion into the radix tree of those irqs that were
requested before it was initialized at said tree initialization.

Mutual exclusion between the tree initialization and readers/writers is
handled via a state variable (revmap_trees_allocated) set to 1 when the tree
has been initialized and set to 2 after the already requested irqs have been
inserted in the tree by the init path. This state is checked before any reader
or writer access just like we used to check for tree.gfp_mask != 0 before.

Finally, now that we're not any longer inserting nodes into the radix-tree
in interrupt context, turn the GFP_ATOMIC allocations into GFP_KERNEL ones.

549e8152de powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable
This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set.  This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations.  (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)

The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run.  In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel.  This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.

This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler.  With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).

With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.

e31aa453bb powerpc: Use LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE only for constants on 64-bit
Using LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of kernel symbols
generates 5 instructions where LOAD_REG_ADDR can do it in one,
and will generate R_PPC64_ADDR16_* relocations in the output when
we get to making the kernel as a position-independent executable,
which we'd rather not have to handle.  This changes various bits
of assembly code to use LOAD_REG_ADDR when we need to get the
address of a symbol, or to use suitable position-independent code
for cases where we can't access the TOC for various reasons, or
if we're not running at the address we were linked at.

It also cleans up a few minor things; there's no reason to save and
restore SRR0/1 around RTAS calls, __mmu_off can get the return
address from LR more conveniently than the caller can supply it in
R4 (and we already assume elsewhere that EA == RA if the MMU is on
in early boot), and enable_64b_mode was using 5 instructions where
2 would do.

1f6a93e4c3 powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel
This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to
the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to
have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel.  Now,
instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top
32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and
ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of
the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset.

This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for
the handler with a load from the paca.  That makes it unnecessary to
have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit
mode.

We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code,
which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to
.slb_miss_realmode any more.  Instead we have to compute the address
and do an indirect branch.  This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE;
for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before.  (A later
change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.)

Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100
bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is,
we can't use a direct branch to get there.  Instead this changes
__secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer.  When it
is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function
pointed to by that value.

Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit
by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU
spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

cf00085d80 powerpc: Add support for dynamic reconfiguration memory in kexec/kdump kernels
Kdump kernel needs to use only those memory regions that it is allowed
to use (crashkernel, rtas, tce, etc.).  Each of these regions have
their own sizes and are currently added under 'linux,usable-memory'
property under each memory@xxx node of the device tree.

The ibm,dynamic-memory property of ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory
node (on POWER6) now stores in it the representation for most of the
logical memory blocks with the size of each memory block being a
constant (lmb_size).  If one or more or part of the above mentioned
regions lie under one of the lmb from ibm,dynamic-memory property,
there is a need to identify those regions within the given lmb.

This makes the kernel recognize a new 'linux,drconf-usable-memory'
property added by kexec-tools.  Each entry in this property is of the
form of a count followed by that many (base, size) pairs for the above
mentioned regions.  The number of cells in the count value is given by
the #size-cells property of the root node.

return success, instead of the result of the notifier chain.

This happens specifically when we remove/add memory from the
device tree on machines using memory specified in the
ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory property of the device tree.

57dda6ef5b powerpc: New copy_4K_page()
This new copy_4K_page() function was originally tuned for the best
performance on the Cell processor, but after testing on more 64bit
powerpc chips it was found that with a small modification it either
matched the performance offered by the current mainline version or
bettered it by a small amount.

It was found that on a Cell-based QS22 blade the amount of system
time measured when compiling a 2.6.26 pseries_defconfig decreased
by 4%. Using the same test, a 4-way 970MP machine saw a decrease of
2% in system time. No noticeable change was seen on Power4, Power5
or Power6.

The 4096 byte page is copied in thirty-two 128 byte strides. An
initial setup loop executes dcbt instructions for the whole source
page and dcbz instructions for the whole destination page. To do
this, the cache line size is retrieved from ppc64_caches.

A new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, (introduced in the
previous patch) is used to make the modification to this new copy
routine - on Power4, 970 and Cell the feature bit is set so the
setup loop is executed, but on all other 64bit chips the setup
loop is nop'ed out.

2a9294369b powerpc: Add new CPU feature: CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ
Add a new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, to be added to the
64bit powerpc chips that benefit from having dcbt and dcbz
instructions used in their memory copy routines.

This will be used in a subsequent patch that updates copy_4K_page().
The new bit is added to Cell, PPC970 and Power4 because they show
better performance with the new copy_4K_page() when dcbt and dcbz
instructions are used.

8308c54d7e generic: redefine resource_size_t as phys_addr_t
There's no good reason why a resource_size_t shouldn't just be a
physical address, so simply redefine it in terms of phys_addr_t.
