Kevin Hao 0be7d969b0 powerpc/fsl_booke: smp support for booting a relocatable kernel above 64M
When booting above the 64M for a secondary cpu, we also face the
same issue as the boot cpu that the PAGE_OFFSET map two different
physical address for the init tlb and the final map. So we have to use
switch_to_as1/restore_to_as0 between the conversion of these two
maps. When restoring to as0 for a secondary cpu, we only need to
return to the caller. So add a new parameter for function
restore_to_as0 for this purpose.

Use LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC to get the address of variables which may
be used before we set the final map in cams for the secondary cpu.
Move the setting of cams a bit earlier in order to avoid the
unnecessary using of LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC.

Kevin Hao 7d2471f9fa powerpc/fsl_booke: make sure PAGE_OFFSET map to memstart_addr for relocatable kernel
This is always true for a non-relocatable kernel. Otherwise the kernel
would get stuck. But for a relocatable kernel, it seems a little
complicated. When booting a relocatable kernel, we just align the
kernel start addr to 64M and map the PAGE_OFFSET from there. The
relocation will base on this virtual address. But if this address
is not the same as the memstart_addr, we will have to change the
map of PAGE_OFFSET to the real memstart_addr and do another relocation
again.

Kevin Hao 78a235efdc powerpc/fsl_booke: set the tlb entry for the kernel address in AS1
We use the tlb1 entries to map low mem to the kernel space. In the
current code, it assumes that the first tlb entry would cover the
kernel image. But this is not true for some special cases, such as
when we run a relocatable kernel above the 64M or set
CONFIG_KERNEL_START above 64M. So we choose to switch to address
space 1 before setting these tlb entries.

Kumar Gala 1dc91c3eb3 powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix setup_initial_memory_limit to not blindly map
On FSL Book-E devices we support multiple large TLB sizes and so we can
get into situations in which the initial 1G TLB size is too big and
we're asked for a size that is not mappable by a single entry (like
512M).  The single entry is important because when we bring up secondary
cores they need to ensure any data structure they need to access (eg
PACA or stack) is always mapped.

So we really need to determine what size will actually be mapped by the
first TLB entry to ensure we limit early memory references to that
region.  We refactor the map_mem_in_cams() code to provider a helper
function that we can utilize to determine the size of the first TLB
entry while taking into account size and alignment constraints.

Kumar Gala 55fd766b5f powerpc/fsl-booke64: Use TLB CAMs to cover linear mapping on FSL 64-bit chips
On Freescale parts typically have TLB array for large mappings that we can
bolt the linear mapping into.  We utilize the code that already exists
on PPC32 on the 64-bit side to setup the linear mapping to be cover by
bolted TLB entries.  We utilize a quarter of the variable size TLB array
for this purpose.

Additionally, we limit the amount of memory to what we can cover via
bolted entries so we don't get secondary faults in the TLB miss
handlers.  We should fix this limitation in the future.

have used the stack pointer (even though the code doesn't need it).  We

This patch adds the base support for the 476 processor.  The code was

The goal is to have a single binary that will run on 44x and 47x, but

line size differs on the two platforms, but it's currently a compile-time

Albert Herranz de32400dd2 wii: use both mem1 and mem2 as ram
The Nintendo Wii video game console has two discontiguous RAM regions:
- MEM1: 24MB @ 0x00000000
- MEM2: 64MB @ 0x10000000

Unfortunately, the kernel currently does not support discontiguous RAM
memory regions on 32-bit PowerPC platforms.

This patch adds a series of workarounds to allow the use of the second
memory region (MEM2) as RAM by the kernel.
Basically, a single range of memory from the beginning of MEM1 to the
end of MEM2 is reported to the kernel, and a memory reservation is
created for the hole between MEM1 and MEM2.

With this patch the system is able to use all the available RAM and not
just ~27% of it.

This will no longer be needed when proper discontig memory support
for 32-bit PowerPC is added to the kernel.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 2a4aca1144 powerpc/mm: Split low level tlb invalidate for nohash processors
Currently, the various forms of low level TLB invalidations are all
implemented in misc_32.S for 32-bit processors, in a fairly scary
mess of #ifdef's and with interesting duplication such as a whole
bunch of code for FSL _tlbie and _tlbia which are no longer used.

This moves things around such that _tlbie is now defined in
hash_low_32.S and is only used by the 32-bit hash code, and all
nohash CPUs use the various _tlbil_* forms that are now moved to
a new file, tlb_nohash_low.S.

I moved all the definitions for that stuff out of
include/asm/tlbflush.h as they are really internal mm stuff, into
mm/mmu_decl.h

The code should have no functional changes.  I kept some variants
inline for trivial forms on things like 40x and 8xx.

For the sub-arches that support relocatable interrupt vectors
(book-e), it's reasonable to have memory start at a non-zero physical
address.  For those cases use the variable memstart_addr instead of
the #define PPC_MEMSTART since the only uses of PPC_MEMSTART are for

Benjamin Herrenschmidt e701d269aa [POWERPC] 4xx: Fix 4xx flush_tlb_page()
On 4xx CPUs, the current implementation of flush_tlb_page() uses
a low level _tlbie() assembly function that only works for the
current PID. Thus, invalidations caused by, for example, a COW
fault triggered by get_user_pages() from a different context will
not work properly, causing among other things, gdb breakpoints
to fail.

This patch adds a "pid" argument to _tlbie() on 4xx processors,
and uses it to flush entries in the right context. FSL BookE
also gets the argument but it seems they don't need it (their
tlbivax form ignores the PID when invalidating according to the
document I have).

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 3d5134ee83 [POWERPC] Rewrite IO allocation & mapping on powerpc64
This rewrites pretty much from scratch the handling of MMIO and PIO
space allocations on powerpc64.  The main goals are:

 - Get rid of imalloc and use more common code where possible
 - Simplify the current mess so that PIO space is allocated and
   mapped in a single place for PCI bridges
 - Handle allocation constraints of PIO for all bridges including
   hot plugged ones within the 2GB space reserved for IO ports,
   so that devices on hotplugged busses will now work with drivers
   that assume IO ports fit in an int.
 - Cleanup and separate tracking of the ISA space in the reserved
   low 64K of IO space. No ISA -> Nothing mapped there.

I booted a cell blade with IDE on PIO and MMIO and a dual G5 so
far, that's it :-)

With this patch, all allocations are done using the code in
mm/vmalloc.c, though we use the low level __get_vm_area with
explicit start/stop constraints in order to manage separate
areas for vmalloc/vmap, ioremap, and PCI IOs.

This greatly simplifies a lot of things, as you can see in the
diffstat of that patch :-)

A new pair of functions pcibios_map/unmap_io_space() now replace
all of the previous code that used to manipulate PCI IOs space.
The allocation is done at mapping time, which is now called from
scan_phb's, just before the devices are probed (instead of after,
which is by itself a bug fix). The only other caller is the PCI
hotplug code for hot adding PCI-PCI bridges (slots).

imalloc is gone, as is the "sub-allocation" thing, but I do beleive
that hotplug should still work in the sense that the space allocation
is always done by the PHB, but if you unmap a child bus of this PHB
(which seems to be possible), then the code should properly tear
down all the HPTE mappings for that area of the PHB allocated IO space.

I now always reserve the first 64K of IO space for the bridge with
the ISA bus on it. I have moved the code for tracking ISA in a separate
file which should also make it smarter if we ever are capable of
hot unplugging or re-plugging an ISA bridge.

This should have a side effect on platforms like powermac where VGA IOs
will no longer work. This is done on purpose though as they would have
worked semi-randomly before. The idea at this point is to isolate drivers
that might need to access those and fix them by providing a proper
function to obtain an offset to the legacy IOs of a given bus.

David Gibson 6210230725 [POWERPC] Cleanup and fix breakage in tlbflush.h
BenH's commit a741e67969 in powerpc.git,
although (AFAICT) only intended to affect ppc64, also has side-effects
which break 44x.  I think 40x, 8xx and Freescale Book E are also
affected, though I haven't tested them.

The problem lies in unconditionally removing flush_tlb_pending() from
the versions of flush_tlb_mm(), flush_tlb_range() and
flush_tlb_kernel_range() used on ppc64 - which are also used the
embedded platforms mentioned above.

The patch below cleans up the convoluted #ifdef logic in tlbflush.h,
in the process restoring the necessary flushes for the software TLB
platforms.  There are three sets of definitions for the flushing
hooks: the software TLB versions (revised to avoid using names which
appear to related to TLB batching), the 32-bit hash based versions
(external functions) amd the 64-bit hash based versions (which
implement batching).

It also moves the declaration of update_mmu_cache() to always be in
tlbflush.h (previously it was in tlbflush.h except for PPC64, where it
was in pgtable.h).

Booted on Ebony (440GP) and compiled for 64-bit and 32-bit
multiplatform.

among other things) with the exception of the actual access to the code
itself. That is, the kernel text needs to be accessible without taking
a hash miss exceptions.

This is currently guaranteed by having a BAT register mapping part of the
linear mapping permanently, which includes the kernel text. But this is
not true if using the "nobats" kernel command line option (which can be
useful for debugging) and will not be true when using DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
implemented in a subsequent patch.

This patch fixes this by pre-faulting in the hash table pages that hit
the kernel text, and making sure we never evict such a page under hash
pressure.

David Gibson 800fc3eeb0 [PATCH] powerpc: Remove imalloc.h
asm-ppc64/imalloc.h is only included from files in arch/powerpc/mm.
We already have a header for mm local definitions,
arch/powerpc/mm/mmu_decl.h.  Thus, this patch moves the contents of
imalloc.h into mmu_decl.h.  The only exception are the definitions of
PHBS_IO_BASE, IMALLOC_BASE and IMALLOC_END.  Those are moved into
pgtable.h, next to similar definitions of VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_SIZE.

Built for multiplatform 32bit and 64bit (ARCH=powerpc).

Paul Mackerras ab1f9dac6e powerpc: Merge arch/ppc64/mm to arch/powerpc/mm
This moves the remaining files in arch/ppc64/mm to arch/powerpc/mm,
and arranges that we use them when compiling with ARCH=ppc64.

Paul Mackerras 7c8c6b9776 powerpc: Merge lmb.c and make MM initialization use it.
This also creates merged versions of do_init_bootmem, paging_init
and mem_init and moves them to arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c.  It gets rid
of the mem_pieces stuff.

I made memory_limit a parameter to lmb_enforce_memory_limit rather
than a global referenced by that function.  This will require some
small changes to ppc64 if we want to continue building ARCH=ppc64
using the merged lmb.c.

Paul Mackerras 14cf11af6c powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.
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.
