of/flattree: Eliminate need to provide early_init_dt_scan_chosen_arch

2010-10-21T17:10:10Z

This patch refactors the early init parsing of the chosen node so that architectures aren't forced to provide an empty implementation of early_init_dt_scan_chosen_arch. Instead, if an architecture wants to do something different, it can either use a wrapper function around early_init_dt_scan_chosen(), or it can replace it altogether. This patch was written in preparation to adding device tree support to both x86 ad MIPS. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Tested-by: David Daney

memblock: Remove rmo_size, burry it in arch/powerpc where it belongs

2010-08-05T02:56:08Z

The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes) and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode (aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing. We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

memblock: Introduce default allocation limit and use it to replace explicit ones

2010-08-05T02:56:07Z

This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE). The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere. It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears. Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time results in something that is accessible with a simple __va(). The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will honor the current limit when performing those allocations. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Fix erroneous lmb->memblock conversions

2010-07-23T02:56:57Z

Oooops... we missed these. We incorrectly converted strings used when parsing the device-tree on pseries, thus breaking access to drconf memory and hotplug memory. While at it, also revert some variable names that represent something the FW calls "lmb" and thus don't need to be converted to "memblock". Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt ---

lmb: rename to memblock

2010-07-14T07:14:00Z

via following scripts FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/lmb/memblock/g' \ -e 's/LMB/MEMBLOCK/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g') mv $N $M done and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc. also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/ Suggested-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: "H.

powerpc: Dynamically allocate pacas

2010-03-09T00:52:52Z

On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus. We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system. The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas, but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any unused pacas.

of: move definition of of_chosen into common code.

2010-02-14T14:13:55Z

Rather than defining of_chosen in each arch, it can be defined for all in driver/of/base.c Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Acked-by: Michal Simek

of: remove unused extern reference to devtree_lock

2010-02-14T14:13:52Z

Neither the powerpc nor the microblaze code use devtree_lock anymore. Remove the extern reference. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Acked-by: Michal Simek

of/flattree: Don't assume HAVE_LMB

2010-02-14T14:13:47Z

We don't always have lmb available, so make arches provide an early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch() to handle the allocation of memory in the fdt code. When we don't have lmb.h included, we need asm/page.h for __va. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Acked-by: Michal Simek
