  • The bootwrapper requires a serial driver to allow cmdline editing
    and information reporting on the console. This driver is required
    by platforms that boot a zImage and use the MPSC for the console.

  • The mv64x60 host bridge has many windows between its various components
    (cpu, system memory, ethernet ctlr, MPSC, DMA ctlr, PCI MEM, PCI I/O).
    Unfortunately, the firmware on some of mv64x60-based platforms do not
    properly or completely configure those windows (e.g., MPSC->system memory
    windows not configured or CPU->PCI MEM space not configured).

    So, the missing configuration needs to be done in either the bootwrapper
    or in the kernel. To keep the kernel as clean as possible, it is done
    in the bootwrapper. Note that I/O controller configuration is NOT being
    done, its only the windows to allow the I/O controllers and other components
    to access memory, etc. that is being done--drivers assume that their
    controllers can already access system memory).

    Table of routines and the windows they configure:
    mv64x60_config_ctlr_windows() ENET->System Memory
    MPSC->System Memory
    IDMA->System Memory

    mv64x60_config_pci_windows() PCI MEM->System Memory
    PCI I/O->Bridge's Registers

    mv64x60_config_cpu2pci_window() CPU->PCI MEM

  • Add 'zImage.dts' and 'zImage.dts_initrd' build rules that automatically
    compile and wrap a dts file from arch/powerpc/boot/dts into the zImage file.
    The resulting zImage will be arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.dts. and
    arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.dts_initrd., respectively.

    Having separate rules allows the user to choose whether to include a device
    tree--and which device tree--at build time. This is useful when one Makefile
    target builds a zImage that runs on several platforms except for differing
    device trees. By just setting CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE and running "make zImage.dts"
    the exact zImage you want is built without Makefile bloat or manually running
    the wrapper script.

    The dts file is expected to be arch/powerpc/boot/dts/$(CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE)

  • The boot wrapper platform init code on 83xx and 85xx using the cuboot
    platform type was incorrectly assuming that u-boot supplied the size
    of the initrd, whereas it actually supplies the end address. This
    fixes it.

  • An mdio bus scan was added with ucc_geth phylib
    migration patches, now machines complain on boot, saying:

    prom_parse: Bad cell count for /qe@e0100000/mdio@2120/ethernet-phy@01

    since size-cells can indeed be 0, this patch fixes the check.

  • Greatly simplify the function smp_space_timers.

    The stolen time calculation (per comment within the code) doesn't need the
    half-jiffy stagger any more. There isn't an issue with bouncing off global
    locks, so we really shouldn't need any sort of staggering at all.

    However, the last_jiffy value still needs to be set. This removes the
    extra stagger logic, and just sets the values.

    This change should benefit applications that rely on barrier
    synchronization, and will help cut down OS jitter.

    Boot tested across the board (G5,power3,power4,power5,970mp blade).

  • In case of reentrance i.e when a probe handler calls a functions which
    inturn has a probe, we save a previous kprobe information and just single
    step the reentrant probe without calling the actual probe handler. During
    this reentracy period, if an interrupt occurs and if probe happens to
    trigger in the inturrupt path, then we were corrupting the previous kprobe(
    as we were overriding the previous kprobe info) info their by crashing the
    system. This patch fixes this issues by having a an array of previous
    kprobe info struct(with the array size of 2).

    This similar technique is not needed on i386 and x86_64 because by default
    interrupts are turn off in the break/int3 exception handler.

  • During a 'resync' or similar activity, md checks if the devices in the
    array are otherwise active and winds back resync activity when they are.
    This test in done in is_mddev_idle, and it is somewhat fragile - it
    sometimes thinks there is non-sync io when there isn't.

    The test compares the total sectors of io (disk_stat_read) with the sectors
    of resync io (disk->sync_io). This has problems because total sectors gets
    updated when a request completes, while resync io gets updated when the
    request is submitted. The time difference can cause large differenced
    between the two which do not actually imply non-resync activity. The test
    currently allows for some fuzz (+/- 4096) but there are some cases when it
    is not enough.

    The test currently looks for any (non-fuzz) difference, either positive or
    negative. This clearly is not needed. Any non-sync activity will cause
    the total sectors to grow faster than the sync_io count (never slower) so
    we only need to look for a positive differences.

    If we do this then the amount of in-flight sync io will never cause the
    appearance of non-sync IO. Once enough non-sync IO to worry about starts
    happening, resync will be slowed down and the measurements will thus be
    more precise (as there is less in-flight) and control of resync will still
    be suitably responsive.
