powerpc: Use more accurate limit for first segment memory allocations

2011-06-26T16:46:58Z

commit 095c7965f4dc870ed2b65143b1e2610de653416c upstream. Author: Milton Miller On large machines we are running out of room below 256MB. In some cases we only need to ensure the allocation is in the first segment, which may be 256MB or 1TB. Add slb0_limit and use it to specify the upper limit for the irqstack and emergency stacks. On a large ppc64 box, this fixes a panic at boot when the crashkernel= option is specified (previously we would run out of memory below 256MB).

powerpc: Fix swiotlb to respect the boot option

2010-03-19T05:38:16Z

powerpc initializes swiotlb before parsing the kernel boot options so swiotlb options (e.g. specifying the swiotlb buffer size) are ignored. Any time before freeing bootmem works for swiotlb so this patch moves powerpc's swiotlb initialization after parsing the kernel boot options, mem_init (as x86 does).

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.

swiotlb: Defer swiotlb init printing, export swiotlb_print_info()

2009-11-10T11:32:00Z

This enables us to avoid printing swiotlb memory info when we initialize swiotlb. After swiotlb initialization, we could find that we don't need swiotlb. This patch removes the code to print swiotlb memory info in swiotlb_init() and exports the function to do that.

powerpc: Enable sparse irq_descs on powerpc

2009-10-30T06:21:31Z

Defining CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ enables generic code that gets rid of the static irq_desc array, and replaces it with an array of pointers to irq_descs. It also allows node local allocation of irq_descs, however we currently don't have the information available to do that, so we just allocate them on all on node 0.
