KVM: PPC: Remove 440 support

2014-07-28T13:23:15Z

The 440 target hasn't been properly functioning for a few releases and before I was the only one who fixes a very serious bug that indicates to me that nobody used it before either. Furthermore KVM on 440 is slow to the extent of unusable. We don't have to carry along completely unused code. Remove 440 and give us one less thing to worry about. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf

powerpc/perf: Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s

2013-07-01T01:50:10Z

Add support for EBB (Event Based Branches) on 64-bit book3s. See the included documentation for more details. EBBs are a feature which allows the hardware to branch directly to a specified user space address when a PMU event overflows. This can be used by programs for self-monitoring with no kernel involvement in the inner loop. Most of the logic is in the generic book3s code, primarily to avoid a proliferation of PMU callbacks.

Documentation: add devicetree docs index file

The device tree infrastructure is being genericized so its documentation moved out of the PowerPC directory. Signed-off-by: Rob Landley Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

powerpc: Remove outdated Documentation/powerpc/smp.txt

2008-10-07T03:26:19Z

Documentation/powerpc/smp.txt is so outdated that it makes sense to just remove it. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Remove remains of /proc/ppc_htab

2008-10-07T03:26:19Z

commit 14cf11af6cf608eb8c23e989ddb17a715ddce109 ("powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.") unwired /proc/ppc_htab, and commit 917f0af9e5a9ceecf9e72537fabb501254ba321d ("powerpc: Remove arch/ppc and include/asm-ppc") removed the rest of the /proc/ppc_htab support, but there are still a few references left. Kill them for good. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Documentation: remove old sbc8260 board specific information

2008-07-28T19:24:40Z

This file contains 8 yr. old board specific information that was for the now gone ppc implementation, and it pre-dates widespread u-boot support. Any of the technical details of the board memory map would be more appropriately captured in a dts if I revive it as powerpc anyway.

[POWERPC] QE: Add ability to upload QE firmware

2008-01-24T01:34:06Z

Define the layout of a binary blob that contains a QE firmware and instructions on how to upload it. Add function qe_upload_firmware() to parse the blob and perform the actual upload. Fully define 'struct rsp' in immap_qe.h to include the actual RISC Special Registers. Added description of a new QE firmware node to booting-without-of.txt.
