Current status of APUS:
- arch/powerpc/: removed in 2.6.23
- arch/ppc/: marked BROKEN since 2 yearsThis therefore removes the remaining parts of APUS support from
arch/ppc, include/asm-ppc, arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc.Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

Oprofile enhanced instruction sampling support.
When performing instruction sampling, the mmcra[SLOT] field can be used to
more accurately identify the address of the sampled instruction.Tested on power4, js20, power5 and power5+.

The Cell CPU timebase has an erratum. When reading the entire 64 bits
of the timebase with one mftb instruction, there is a handful of cycles
window during which one might read a value with the low order 32 bits
already reset to 0x00000000 but the high order bits not yet incremeted
by one. This fixes it by reading the timebase again until the low order
32 bits is no longer 0. That might introduce occasional latencies if
hitting mftb just at the wrong time, but no more than 70ns on a cell
blade, and that was considered acceptable.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

This is a first version of support for the Cell BE "Reliability,
Availability and Serviceability" features.It doesn't yet handle some of the RAS interrupts (the ones described in
iic_is/iic_irr), I'm still working on a proper way to expose these. They
are essentially a cascaded controller by themselves (sic !) though I may
just handle them locally to the iic driver. I need also to sync with
David Erb on the way he hooked in the performance monitor interrupt.So that's all for 2.6.17 and I'll do more work on that with my rework of
the powerpc interrupt layer that I'm hacking on at the moment.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

Forthcoming machines will extend the FPSCR to 64 bits. We already

This unifies the 32-bit (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and 64-bit idle
loops. It brings over the concept of having a ppc_md.power_save
function from 32-bit to ARCH=powerpc, which lets us get rid of
native_idle(). With this we will also be able to simplify the idle
handling for pSeries and cell.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

The runlatch SPR can take a lot of time to write. My original runlatch
code would set it on every exception entry even though most of the time
this was not required. It would also continually set it in the idle
loop, which is an issue on an SMT capable processor.Now we cache the runlatch value in a threadinfo bit, and only check for
it in decrementer and hardware interrupt exceptions as well as the idle
loop. Boot on POWER3, POWER5 and iseries, and compile tested on pmac32.Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard

This patch merges platform codes. systemcfg->platform is no longer used,
systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed
_systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch),
_machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32. Platform codes aren't gone
yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S
is also turned into C code.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

The ppc32 and ppc64 versions of cacheflush.h were almost identical.
The two versions of cache.h are fairly similar, except for a bunch of
register definitions in the ppc32 version which probably belong better
elsewhere. This patch, therefore, merges both headers. Notable
points:
- there are several functions in cacheflush.h which exist only
on ppc32 or only on ppc64. These are handled by #ifdef for now, but
these should probably be consolidated, along with the actual code
behind them later.
- Confusingly, both ppc32 and ppc64 have a
flush_dcache_range(), but they're subtly different: it uses dcbf on
ppc32 and dcbst on ppc64, ppc64 has a flush_inval_dcache_range() which
uses dcbf. These too should be merged and consolidated later.
- Also flush_dcache_range() was defined in cacheflush.h on
ppc64, and in cache.h on ppc32. In the merged version it's in
cacheflush.h
- On ppc32 flush_icache_range() is a normal function from
misc.S. On ppc64, it was wrapper, testing a feature bit before
calling __flush_icache_range() which does the actual flush. This
patch takes the ppc64 approach, which amounts to no change on ppc32,
since CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE will never be set there, but does mean
renaming flush_icache_range() to __flush_icache_range() in
arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S and arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S
- The PReP register info from asm-ppc/cache.h has moved to
arch/ppc/platforms/prep_setup.c
- The 8xx register info from asm-ppc/cache.h has moved to a
new asm-powerpc/reg_8xx.h, included from reg.h
- flush_dcache_all() was defined on ppc32 (only), but was
never called (although it was exported). Thus this patch removes it
from cacheflush.h and from ARCH=powerpc (misc_32.S) entirely. It's
left in ARCH=ppc for now, with the prototype moved to ppc_ksyms.c.Built for Walnut (ARCH=ppc), 32-bit multiplatform (pmac, CHRP and PReP

The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly,
and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version.
The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call
show_state (which was always pretty dodgy) has been replaced by
the ppc32 'p' command, which calls a given procedure (so in fact
the old 'p' command behaviour can be achieved with 'p $show_state').Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

This fixes up a variety of minor problems in compiling with ARCH=ppc
arising from using the merged versions of various header files.
A lot of the changes are just adding #include to
files that use ppc_md or smp_ops_t.This also arranges for us to use semaphore.c, vecemu.c, vector.S and
fpu.S from arch/powerpc/kernel when compiling with ARCH=ppc.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
