For quite a while, there has existed a hypervisor bug on legacy iSeries
which means that we do not get the boot time set in the kernel. This
patch works around that bug. This was most noticable when the root
partition needed to be checked at every boot as the kernel thought it
was some time in 1905 until user mode reset the time correctly.

On PPC64, we keep track of when we need to update jiffies (and the
variables used to calculate the time of day) based on the time base.
If the time base frequence is sufficiently high compared to the
processor clock frequency, then it is possible for the time of day
variables to be corrupted at the time of the first decrementer interrupt
we take. This became obvious on a legacy iSeries where the time base
frequency is the same as the processor clock.
This one line patch fixes the initialisation so that the time of day
variables and the indicator we use to tell when updates are due are
better synchronised.

The hardware sync of the timebase on SMP G5s uses a black magic
incantation to the i2c clock chip that was inspired from what Darwin
does.
However, this was an earlier version of Darwin that was ... buggy !
heh. This causes the latest models to break though when starting SMP,
so it's worth fixing.
Here's a new version of the incantation based on careful transcription
of the said incantations as found in the latest version of apple's
temple.

The latest speedbumped Apple G5 models have a "bug" in the Open Firmware
device tree that lacks the proper interrupt routing information for the
northbridge i2c controller. Apple's driver silently falls back into a
sub-optimal "polled" mode (heh, maybe they didn't even notice the bug
because of that :), our driver didn't properly check and crashes :(
This patch fixes our driver to not crash, and adds code to the
prom_init() OF trampoline code that detects the "bug" and adds the
missing information back for this chipset revision. This fixes booting
and thermal control on these models.

The code in unflatten_device_tree knows that get_property is written to

The gcc 3.3.3 compiler is not able to prove this to itself, so it warns

This patch started as simply removing a few never-used macros from
asm-ppc64/pgtable.h, then kind of grew. It now makes a bunch of
cleanups to the ppc64 low-level header files (with corresponding
changes to .c files where necessary) such as:
- Abolishing never-used macros
- Eliminating multiple #defines with the same purpose
- Removing pointless macros (cases where just expanding the
macro everywhere turns out clearer and more sensible)
- Removing some cases where macros which could be defined in
terms of each other weren't
- Moving imalloc() related definitions from pgtable.h to their
own header file (imalloc.h)
- Re-arranging headers to group things more logically
- Moving all VSID allocation related things to mmu.h, instead
of being split between mmu.h and mmu_context.h
- Removing some reserved space for flags from the PMD - we're
not using it.
- Fix some bugs which broke compile with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

When I tried Ben's patches to the powermac sound driver on my G5, I found
that it was taking enormous numbers of sound DMA transmit interrupts. This
turned out to be because it was incorrectly configured as level-sensitive
instead of edge-sensitive, which in turn was because the code that parses
the interrupt tree that Open Firmware gives us was incorrectly assigning
another device the same irq number as the sound DMA transmit interrupt
(i.e. 1).
This patch fixes the problem, in a somewhat quick and dirty way for now,
but one which will work for all the machines we currently run on.
Ultimately Ben and I want to do something more general and robust, but this
should go in for 2.6.12.

This patch from Roland adds a PT_NOTE section to both 32 and 64 bits vDSOs
to expose the kernel version to glibc, thus avoiding a uname syscall on
every launch. This is equivalent to the patches Roland posted already for
x86 and x86-64.
Note: the 64 bits .note is actually using the 32 bits format. This is
normal. The ELF spec specifies a different format for 64 bits .note, but
for some reason, this was never properly implemented, the core dumps for
example are all using 32 bits format .note, and binutils cannot even read a
64 bits format .note. Talking to our toolchain folks, they think we'd
rather stick to 32 bits format .note everywhere and get the spec fixed some
day ...

When the kernel creates a signal frame on the user stack, it puts the
old stack pointer value at the beginning so that the signal frame is
linked into the chain of stack frames like any other frame.
Unfortunately, for 32-bit processes we are writing the old stack
pointer as a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit value, and the process
sees that as a null pointer, since it only looks at the first 32 bits,
which are zero since ppc is bigendian and the stack pointer is below
4GB. This bug is in SLES9 and RHEL4 too, hence the ccs.
This patch fixes the bug by making the signal code write the old stack
pointer as a u32 instead of an unsigned long.

We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments,
but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually
invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that.
While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it
take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made,
because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall.
Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for
the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register
rather than only returning a single register.
Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'.

This patch adds detection of the Altivec capability of the CPU via the
firmware in addition to the cpu table. This allows newer CPUs that aren't
in the table to still have working altivec support in the kernel.
It also fixes a problem where if a CPU isn't recognized as having altivec
features, and takes an altivec unavailable exception due to userland
issuing altivec instructions, the kernel would happily enable it and
context switch the registers ... but not all of them (it would basically
forget vrsave). With this patch, the kernel will refuse to enable altivec
when the feature isn't detected for the CPU (SIGILL).

This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel
to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable
segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use
get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to
after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so
that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before
create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the
proper address).
While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at
their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where
they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should be
possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.

This patch hacks the current PowerMac Alsa driver to add some basic support
of analog sound output to some desktop G5s. It has severe limitations
though:
- Only 44100Khz 16 bits
- Only work on G5 models using a TAS3004 analog code, that is early
single CPU desktops and all dual CPU desktops at this date, but none
of the more recent ones like iMac G5.
- It does analog only, no digital/SPDIF support at all, no native
AC3 support
Better support would require a complete rewrite of the driver (which I am
working on, but don't hold your breath), to properly support the diversity
of apple sound HW setup, including dual codecs, several i2s busses, all the
new codecs used in the new machines, proper clock switching with digital,
etc etc etc...
This patch applies on top of the other PowerMac sound patches I posted in
the past couple of days (new powerbook support and sleep fixes).
Note: This is a FAQ entry for PowerMac sound support with TI codecs: They
have a feature called "DRC" which is automatically enabled for the internal
speaker (at least when auto mute control is enabled) which will cause your
sound to fade out to nothing after half a second of playback if you don't
set a proper "DRC Range" in the mixer. So if you have a problem like that,
check alsamixer and raise your DRC Range to something reasonable.
Note2: This patch will also add auto-mute of the speaker when line-out jack
is used on some earlier desktop G4s (and on the G5) in addition to the
headphone jack. If that behaviour isn't what you want, just disable
auto-muting and use the manual mute controls in alsamixer.

My previous patch that added sleep support for uninorth-agp and some AGP
"off" stuff in radeonfb and aty128fb is breaking some configs. More
specifically, it has problems with rage128 setups since the DRI code for
these in X doesn't properly re-enable AGP on wakeup or console switch
(unlike the radeon DRM).
This patch fixes the problem for pmac once for all by using a different
approach. The AGP driver "registers" special suspend/resume callbacks with
some arch code that the fbdev's can later on call to suspend and resume
AGP, making sure it's resumed back in the same state it was when suspended.
This is platform specific for now. It would be too complicated to try to
do a generic implementation of this at this point due to all sort of weird
things going on with AGP on other architectures. We'll re-work that whole
problem cleanly once we finally merge fbdev's and DRI.
In the meantime, please apply this patch which brings back some r128 based
laptops into working condition as far as system sleep is concerned.
