powerpc: Force page alignment for initrd reserved memory

2011-06-09T06:52:38+00:00

When using 64K pages with a separate cpio rootfs, U-Boot will align
the rootfs on a 4K page boundary. When the memory is reserved, and
subsequent early memblock_alloc is called, it will allocate memory
between the 64K page alignment and reserved memory. When the reserved
memory is subsequently freed, it is done so by pages, causing the
early memblock_alloc requests to be re-used, which in my case, caused
the device-tree to be clobbered.

This patch forces the reserved memory for initrd to be kernel page
aligned, and will move the device tree if it overlaps with the range
extension of initrd. This patch will also consolidate the identical
function free_initrd_mem() from mm/init_32.c, init_64.c to mm/mem.c,
and adds the same range extension when freeing initrd. free_initrd_mem()
is also moved to the __init section.

Many thanks to Milton Miller for his input on this patch.

powerpc: Fix hard CPU IDs detection

2011-05-20T07:50:18+00:00

commit 9d07bc841c9779b4d7902e417f4e509996ce805d
"powerpc: Properly handshake CPUs going out of boot spin loop"

Would cause a miscalculation of the hard CPU ID. It removes breaking
out of the loop when finding a match with a processor, thus the "i"
used as an index in the intserv array is always incorrect

This broke interrupt on my PowerMac laptop.

powerpc: Make early memory scan more resilient to out of order nodes

2011-05-19T07:32:25+00:00

We keep track of the size of the lowest block of memory and call
setup_initial_memory_limit() only after we've parsed them all

dt/flattree: explicitly pass command line pointer to early_init_dt_scan_chosen

2011-05-11T12:53:18+00:00

This patch drops the reference to a global 'cmd_line' variable from
early_init_dt_scan_chosen, and instead passes the pointer to the command
line string via the *data argument.  Each architecture does something
slightly different with the initial command line, so it makes sense for
the architecture to be able to specify the variable name.

powerpc: Free up some CPU feature bits by moving out MMU-related features

2011-04-27T04:18:52+00:00

Some of the 64bit PPC CPU features are MMU-related, so this patch moves
them to MMU_FTR_ bits.  All cpu_has_feature()-style tests are moved to
mmu_has_feature(), and seven feature bits are freed as a result.

powerpc: Properly handshake CPUs going out of boot spin loop

We need to wait a bit for them to have done their CPU setup
or we might end up with translation and EE on with different
LPCR values between threads

powerpc: Fix memory limits when starting at a non-zero address

2011-03-02T05:56:15+00:00

memblock_enforce_memory_limit() takes the desired maximum quantity of memory
to end up with, not an address above which memory will not be used.

dt/flattree: Return virtual address from early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch()

2011-01-16T05:01:58+00:00

The physical address is never used by the device tree code when
allocating memory for unflattening.  Change the architecture's alloc
hook to return the virutal address instead.
