  • The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
    is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
    only small devices.

    This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
    references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
    option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
    can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
    considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

    Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
    expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
    are making should enable it.

  • This updates all the defconfigs in arch/powerpc/configs except iseries
    and ps3, which were updated by the preceding commits.

    This mostly takes the defaults, except that I turned on tickless idle
    and high-resolution timers for everything, and turned off instrumentation
    support and "Fair group CPU scheduler" for the smaller/embedded platforms.

  • When checking out the new NO_HZ support in powerpc, I noticed we never
    slept for more than 2 seconds. It turns out SLAB has a 2 second per cpu
    timer that causes this.

    After switching to SLUB I see some nice 4 second sleeps which is the
    limit on this POWER6 box (the decrementer ticks at 512MHz):

    slept 4.19 sec
    slept 4.19 sec
    slept 4.19 sec
    slept 4.19 sec
    slept 3.96 sec
    slept 3.80 sec
    slept 2.99 sec

    Since SLUB is now the default and some powerpc defconfigs already enable
    it, lets enable SLUB across the board for consistency. While doing this
    I also noticed that the maple defconfig has SLAB debugging enabled which
    is sure to make your box nice and slow. Fix that too.

  • 1. PCI and reset are factored out into pq2.c. I renamed them from m82xx
    to pq2 because they won't work on the Integrated Host Processor line of
    82xx chips (i.e. 8240, 8245, and such).

    2. The PCI PIC, which is nominally board-specific, is used on multiple
    boards, and thus is used into pq2ads-pci-pic.c.

    3. The new CPM binding is used.

    4. General cleanup.

  • Default config file for mpc8272ads (powerpc port).Though relevant bits went
    in, it is required to keep proper default configuration for the target,
    which seems to be missed initially.
