  • gcc 4.7 will be more strict about parsing the -mtraceback option:

    gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option '-mtraceback=none'
    gcc: note: valid arguments to '-mtraceback=' are: full no part

    gcc used to do a 2 char compare so both "no" and "none" would
    match. Switch to using -mtraceback=no should work everywhere.

  • This patch adds support for the new "jump label" feature.

    Unlike x86 and sparc we just merrily patch the code with no locks etc,
    as far as I know this is safe, but I'm not really sure what the x86/sparc
    code is protecting against so maybe it's not.

    I also don't see any reason for us to implement the poke_early() routine,
    even though sparc does.

  • A mix of think & mismerge on my side caused a problem where both the
    new hvsi_lib and the old hvsi driver gets compiled and try to define
    symbols with the same name.

    This fixes it by renaming the hvsi_lib exported symbols.

  • pca954x power-on default is channel 0 connected. If multiple pca954x
    muxes are connected to the same physical I2C bus, the parent bus will
    see channel 0 devices behind both muxes by default. This is bad.

    Scenario:
    -- pca954x @ 0x70 -- ch 0 (I2C-bus-101) -- EEPROM @ 0x50
    |
    I2C-bus-1 ---
    |
    -- pca954x @ 0x71 -- ch 0 (I2C-bus-111) -- EEPROM @ 0x50

    1. Load I2C bus driver: creates I2C-bus-1
    2. Load pca954x driver: creates virtual I2C-bus-101 and I2C-bus-111
    3. Load eeprom driver
    4. Try to read EEPROM @ 0x50 on I2C-bus-101. The transaction will also bleed
    onto I2C-bus-111 because pca954x @ 0x71 channel 0 is connected by default.

    Fix: Initialize pca954x to disconnected state in pca954x_probe()

  • On pseries machines, consoles are provided by the hypervisor using
    a low level get_chars/put_chars type interface. However, this is
    really just a transport to the service processor which implements
    them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as
    "hvsi" serial ports.

    The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character
    interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style
    semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to
    read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it.

    We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend
    (/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver
    (/dev/hvsi0).

    However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between
    the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro)
    confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation
    in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early
    boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low
    level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial
    protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP.

    This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform
    udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used
    in "raw" mode so that:

    - It now supports HVSI as well
    - We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set}
    - It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console

    This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we
    remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When
    the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low
    level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform
    code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface.

    In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits
    over our current situation:

    - The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor
    console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past

    - The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code
    base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the
    console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the
    old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is
    available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early
    debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only
    supported for the "raw" mode).

    I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react
    to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though:

    - I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set

    - Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition
    on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation
    triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon
    detecting a up->down transition on CD.

  • Reconfiguration notifier call for device node may fail by several reasons,
    but it always assumes kmalloc failures.

    This enables reconfiguration notifier call chain to get the actual error
    code rather than -ENOMEM by converting all reconfiguration notifier calls
    to return encapsulate error code with notifier_from_errno().

  • On MMUs such as FSL where we can guarantee the entire linear mapping is
    bolted, we don't need to worry about linear TLB misses. If on top of
    that we do a full table walk, we get rid of all recursive TLB faults, and
    can dispense with some state saving. This gains a few percent on
    TLB-miss-heavy workloads, and around 50% on a benchmark that had a high
    rate of virtual page table faults under the normal handler.

    While touching the EX_TLB layout, remove EX_TLB_MMUCR0, EX_TLB_SRR0, and
    EX_TLB_SRR1 as they're not used.
