If both CONFIG_XMON and CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is enabled in the .config,
there is no way to disable xmon again. setup_system calls first xmon_init,
later parse_early_param. So a new 'xmon=off' cmdline option will do the right
thing.Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering

This patch puts back the export of machine_power_off() that was removed
by some janitor as it's used for emergency shutdown by the G5 thermal
control driver. Wether that driver should use kernel_power_off() instead
is debatable and a post-2.6.13 decision. In the meantime, please commit
that patch that fixes the driver for now.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

PPC64 machines before Power4 need a segment table page allocated for each
CPU. Currently these are allocated statically in a big array in head.S for
all CPUs. The segment tables need to be in the first segment (so
do_stab_bolted doesn't take a recursive fault on the stab itself), but
other than that there are no constraints which require the stabs for the
secondary CPUs to be statically allocated.This patch allocates segment tables dynamically during boot, using
lmb_alloc() to ensure they are within the first 256M segment. This reduces
the kernel image size by 192k...Tested on RS64 iSeries, POWER3 pSeries, and POWER5.

machine_restart, machine_halt and machine_power_off are machine
specific hooks deep into the reboot logic, that modules
have no business messing with. Usually code should be calling
kernel_restart, kernel_halt, kernel_power_off, or
emergency_restart. So don't export machine_restart,
machine_halt, and machine_power_off so we can catch buggy users.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

This patch implements the kexec support for ppc64 platforms.
A couple of notes:
1) We copy the pages in virtual mode, using the full base kernel
and a statically allocated stack. At kexec_prepare time we
scan the pages and if any overlap our (0, _end[]) range we
return -ETXTBSY.On PowerPC 64 systems running in LPAR (logical partitioning)
mode, only a small region of memory, referred to as the RMO,
can be accessed in real mode. Since Linux runs with only one
zone of memory in the memory allocator, and it can be orders of
magnitude more memory than the RMO, looping until we allocate
pages in the source region is not feasible. Copying in virtual
means we don't have to write a hash table generation and call
hypervisor to insert translations, instead we rely on the pinned
kernel linear mapping. The kernel already has move to linked
location built in, so there is no requirement to load it at 0.If we want to load something other than a kernel, then a stub
can be written to copy a linear chunk in real mode.2) The start entry point gets passed parameters from the kernel.
Slaves are started at a fixed address after copying code from
the entry point.All CPUs get passed their firmware assigned physical id in r3
(most calling conventions use this register for the first
argument).This is used to distinguish each CPU from all other CPUs.
Since firmware is not around, there is no other way to obtain
this information other than to pass it somewhere.A single CPU, referred to here as the master and the one executing
the kexec call, branches to start with the address of start in r4.
While this can be calculated, we have to load it through a gpr to
branch to this point so defining the register this is contained
in is free. A stack of unspecified size is available at r1
(also common calling convention).All remaining running CPUs are sent to start at absolute address
0x60 after copying the first 0x100 bytes from start to address 0.
This convention was chosen because it matches what the kernel
has been doing itself. (only gpr3 is defined).Note: This is not quite the convention of the kexec bootblock v2
in the kernel. A stub has been written to convert between them,
and we may adjust the kernel in the future to allow this directly
without any stub.3) Destination pages can be placed anywhere, even where they
would not be accessible in real mode. This will allow us to
place ram disks above the RMO if we choose.Signed-off-by: Milton Miller

Currently reset and powerdown are not implemented on the Maple board,
and attempting to do so will (incorrectly return). This implements
the proper communication with the service processor, allowing correct
reset and powerdown on the Maple board, by communicating with the
service processor. If somehow it's unable to communicate with the
service processor it will loop forever instead.Note that powerdown on the Maple will power down the CPUs, but not the
fans or other board components due to hardware and firmware
limitations.Signed-off-by: David Gibson

This patch corrects the printing of progress indicators to the op
panel on p/iSeries ppc64 systems. Each discrete reference code should
begin with a form feed char to clear the op panel, and the first and
second lines should be separated with a CR/LF sequence. Padding with
spaces is not necessary.Also, capitalize the hex value printed on the first line, to be
consistent with the values printed by firmware, service processor,
etc.It turns out that there's an ibm,form-feed property; this patch uses
it in the pSeries-specific progress routine. This patch also checks
the number of rows and the specific width of each row (the second row
on power5 systems can actually hold 80 characters). If the displayed
text is too wide for the physical display, it can be viewed in the ASM
menus, or by selecting option 14 on the op panel.Signed-off-by: Mike Strosaker

This adds the basic support for running on BPA machines.
So far, this is only the IBM workstation, and it will
not run on others without a little more generalization.It should be possible to configure a kernel for any
combination of CONFIG_PPC_BPA with any of the other
multiplatform targets.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

pSeries and maple have almost the same code for calibrate_decr,
and BPA would need yet another copy. Instead, I'm moving the
code to arch/ppc64/kernel/time.c.Some of the related declarations were missing from header
files, so I'm moving those as well.It makes sense to merge this with the pmac function of the
same name, so we end up having just one implemetation for
iSeries and one for Open Firmware based machines.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
