[IA64] move SAL_CACHE_FLUSH check later in boot

2006-10-31T22:32:10Z

The check to see if the firmware drops interrupts during a SAL_CACHE_FLUSH is done to early in the boot. SAL_CACHE_FLUSH expects to be able to make PAL calls in virtual mode, on some cell based machines a fault occurs causing a MCA. This patch moves the check after mmu_context_init so the TLB and VHPT are properly setup. Signed-off-by Troy Heber Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[SERIAL] Remove wrong asm/serial.h inclusions

2006-10-01T16:09:16Z

asm/serial.h is supposed to contain the definitions for the architecture specific 8250 ports for the 8250 driver. It may also define BASE_BAUD, but this is the base baud for the architecture specific ports _only_. Therefore, nothing other than the 8250 driver should be including this header file. In order to move towards this goal, here is a patch which removes some of the more obvious incorrect includes of the file.

[PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.h

2006-07-10T20:24:16Z

screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be included by tty.h. This patches removes the include and modifies all users to directly include screen_info.h. struct screen_info is mainly used to communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console. Note that this patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it. If there is a mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.

[IA64] Add "model name" to /proc/cpuinfo

2006-06-05T20:54:14Z

Linux ia64 port tried to decode the processor family number to something human-readable, but Intel brandnames don't change synchronously with updates to the family number. Adopt a more i386-like approach and just print the family number in decimal. Add a new field "model name" that uses PAL_BRAND_INFO to find the official name for the cpu, or on older systems, falls back to using the well-known codenames (Merced, McKinley, Madison).

[PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structure

2006-03-26T16:56:54Z

Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want physical addresses. So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep physical addresses in struct efi. This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap() on a virtual address on ia64. This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2 except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses. Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000 systems. That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added for ia64.

[PATCH] ia64: use i386 dmi_scan.c

2006-03-26T16:56:54Z

Enable DMI table parsing on ia64. Andi Kleen has a patch in his x86_64 tree which enables the use of i386 dmi_scan.c on x86_64. dmi_scan.c functions are being used by the drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c driver for autodetecting the ports or memory spaces where the IPMI controllers may be found. This patch adds equivalent changes for ia64 as to what is in the x86_64 tree. In addition, I reworked the DMI detection, such that on EFI-capable systems, it uses the efi.smbios pointer to find the table, rather than brute-force searching from 0xF0000. On non-EFI systems, it continues the brute-force search. My test system, an Intel S870BN4 'Tiger4', aka Dell PowerEdge 7250, with latest BIOS, does not list the IPMI controller in the ACPI namespace, nor does it have an ACPI SPMI table. Also note, currently shipping Dell x8xx EM64T servers don't have these either, so DMI is the only method for obtaining the address of the IPMI controller.
