The 440x5 core in the Virtex5 uses the 440A type machine check
(ie, they have MCSRR0/MCSRR1). They thus need to call the
appropriate fixup function to hook the right variant of the

Without this, all machine checks become fatal due to loss
of context when entering the exception handler.

It turns out that on Cell, on a kernel with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
= y, if a program sets the SO (summary overflow) bit in the XER and
then does a system call, the SO bit in CR0 will be set on return
regardless of whether the system call detected an error. Since CR0.SO
is used as the error indication from the system call, this means that
all system calls appear to fail.
The reason is that the workaround for the timebase bug on Cell uses a
compare instruction. With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING = y, the
ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY macro reads the timebase, so we end up doing a
compare instruction, which copies XER.SO to CR0.SO. Since we were
doing this in the system call entry patch after clearing CR0.SO but
before saving the CR, this meant that the saved CR image had CR0.SO
set if XER.SO was set on entry.
This fixes it by moving the clearing of CR0.SO to after the
ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY call in the system call entry path.

Kexec/kdump currently fails on the IBM QS2x blades when the kexec happens
on a CPU other than the initial boot CPU. It turns out that this is the
result of mpic_init trying to set affinity of each interrupt vector to the
current boot CPU.
As far as I can tell, the same problem is likely to exist on any
secondary MPIC, because they have to deliver interrupts to the first
output all the time. There are two potential solutions for this: either
not set up affinity at all for secondary MPICs, or assume that a single
CPU output is connected to the upstream interrupt controller and hardcode
affinity to that per architecture.
This patch implements the second approach, defaulting to the first output.
Currently, all known secondary MPICs are routed to their upstream port
using the first destination, so we hardcode that.

The MSI capture logic for the axon bridge can sometimes
lose interrupts in case of high DMA and interrupt load,
when it signals an MSI interrupt to the MPIC interrupt
controller while we are already handling another MSI.
Each MSI vector gets written into a FIFO buffer in main
memory using DMA, and that DMA access is normally flushed
by the actual interrupt packet on the IOIF. An MMIO
register in the MSIC holds the position of the last
entry in the FIFO buffer that was written. However,
reading that position does not flush the DMA, so that
we can observe stale data in the buffer.
In a stress test, we have observed the DMA to arrive
up to 14 microseconds after reading the register.
This patch works around this problem by retrying the
access to the FIFO buffer.
We can reliably detect the conditioning by writing
an invalid MSI vector into the FIFO buffer after
reading from it, assuming that all MSIs we get
are valid. After detecting an invalid MSI vector,
we udelay(1) in the interrupt cascade for up to
100 times before giving up.

I got a bug report about a distro kernel not booting on a particular

> Inode-cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 6, 4194304 bytes)
> freeing bootmem node 0
I've reproduced this on 2.6.27.7. It is caused by commit
8f64e1f2d1 ("powerpc: Reserve in bootmem
lmb reserved regions that cross NUMA nodes").
The problem is that Jon took a loop which was (in pseudocode):
for_each_node(nid)
NODE_DATA(nid) = careful_alloc(nid);
setup_bootmem(nid);
reserve_node_bootmem(nid);
and broke it up into:
for_each_node(nid)
NODE_DATA(nid) = careful_alloc(nid);
setup_bootmem(nid);
for_each_node(nid)
reserve_node_bootmem(nid);
The issue comes in when the 'careful_alloc()' is called on a node with
no memory. It falls back to using bootmem from a previously-initialized
node. But, bootmem has not yet been reserved when Jon's patch is
applied. It gives back bogus memory (0xc000000000000000) and pukes
later in boot.
The following patch collapses the loop back together. It also breaks
the mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code out into a function and adds
some comments. I think a huge part of introducing this bug is because
for loop was too long and hard to read.
The actual bug fix here is the:
+ if (end_pfn <= node->node_start_pfn ||
+ start_pfn >= node_end_pfn)
+ continue;

- the write's copy_from_user will fault on the ps mapping, and
signal_pending will be non-zero. Because returning from the fault
handler will never clear TIF_SIGPENDING, so we'll just keep faulting,
resulting in an unkillable process using 100% of CPU.

After the merge of the 32 and 64bit DMA code, dma_direct_ops lost
their map/unmap_single() functions but gained map/unmap_page(). This
caused a problem for Cell because Cell's dma_iommu_fixed_ops called
the dma_direct_ops if the fixed linear mapping was to be used or the
iommu ops if the dynamic window was to be used. So in order to fix
this problem we need to update the 64bit DMA code to use
map/unmap_page.
First, we update the generic IOMMU code so that iommu_map_single()
becomes iommu_map_page() and iommu_unmap_single() becomes
iommu_unmap_page(). Then we propagate these changes up through all
the callers of these two functions and in the process update all the
dma_mapping_ops so that they have map/unmap_page rahter than
map/unmap_single. We can do this because on 64bit there is no HIGHMEM
memory so map/unmap_page ends up performing exactly the same function
as map/unmap_single, just taking different arguments.
This has no affect on drivers because the dma_map_single_attrs() just
ends up calling the map_page() function of the appropriate
dma_mapping_ops and similarly the dma_unmap_single_attrs() calls
unmap_page().
This fixes an oops on Cell blades, which oops on boot without this
because they call dma_direct_ops.map_single, which is NULL.

the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for
its current context to be saved). Thus the program will start
getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked.
This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in

Commit 549e8152de ("powerpc: Make the
64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable") added lines to
vmlinux.lds.S to add the extra sections needed to implement a
relocatable kernel. However, those lines seem to trigger a bug in
older versions of GNU ld (such as 2.16.1) when building a
non-relocatable kernel. Since ld 2.16.1 is still a popular choice for
cross-toolchains, this adds an #ifdef to vmlinux.lds.S so the added
lines are only included when building a relocatable kernel.

The __kdump_flag ABI is overly constraining for future development.
As of 2.6.27, the kernel entry point has 4 constraints: Offset 0 is
the starting point for the master (boot) cpu (entered with r3 pointing
to the device tree structure), offset 0x60 is code for the slave cpus
(entered with r3 set to their device tree physical id), offset 0x20 is
used by the iseries hypervisor, and secondary cpus must be well behaved
when the first 256 bytes are copied to address 0.
Placing the __kdump_flag at 0x18 is bad because:
- It was taking the last 8 bytes before the iseries hypervisor data.
- It was 8 bytes for a boolean flag
- It had no way of identifying that the flag was present
- It does leave any room for the master to add any additional code
before branching, which hurts debug.
- It will be unnecessarily hard for 32 bit code to be common (8 bytes)
Now that we have eliminated the use of __kdump_flag in favor of
the standard is_kdump_kernel(), this flag only controls run without
relocating the kernel to PHYSICAL_START (0), so rename it __run_at_load.
Move the flag to 0x5c, 1 word before the secondary cpu entry point at
0x60. Initialize it with "run0" to say it will run at 0 unless it is
set to 1. It only exists if we are relocatable.
