powerpc/powernv: Remove OPAL v1 takeover

2014-06-25T03:10:47+00:00

In commit 27f4488872d9 "Add OPAL takeover from PowerVM" we added support
for "takeover" on OPAL v1 machines.

This was a mode of operation where we would boot under pHyp, and query
for the presence of OPAL. If detected we would then do a special
sequence to take over the machine, and the kernel would end up running
in hypervisor mode.

OPAL v1 was never a supported product, and was never shipped outside
IBM. As far as we know no one is still using it.

Newer versions of OPAL do not use the takeover mechanism. Although the
query for OPAL should be harmless on machines with newer OPAL, we have
seen a machine where it causes a crash in Open Firmware.

The code in early_init_devtree() to copy boot_command_line into cmd_line
was added in commit 817c21ad9a1f "Get kernel command line accross OPAL
takeover", and AFAIK is only used by takeover, so should also be
removed.

powerpc: use libfdt accessors for header data

2014-04-30T05:59:18+00:00

With libfdt support, we can take advantage of helper accessors in libfdt
for accessing the FDT header data. This makes the code more readable and
makes the FDT blob structure more opaque to the kernel. This also
prepares for removing struct boot_param_header completely.

of/fdt: move memreserve and dtb memory reservations into core

2014-04-30T05:59:17+00:00

Move the /memreserve/ processing and dtb memory reservations into
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem. This converts arm, arm64, and powerpc
as they are the only users of early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem.

memblock_reserve is safe to call on the same region twice, so the
reservation check for the dtb in powerpc 32-bit reservations is safe to
remove.

of/fdt: create common debugfs

2014-04-30T05:59:16+00:00

Both powerpc and microblaze have the same FDT blob in debugfs feature.
Move this to common location and remove the powerpc and microblaze
implementations. This feature could become more useful when FDT
overlay support is added.

This changes the path of the blob from "$arch/flat-device-tree" to
"device-tree/flat-device-tree".

of/fdt: update of_get_flat_dt_prop in prep for libfdt

2014-04-30T05:59:15+00:00

Make of_get_flat_dt_prop arguments compatible with libfdt fdt_getprop
call in preparation to convert FDT code to use libfdt. Make the return
value const and the property length ptr type an int.

powerpc: fix skipping call to early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem

2014-04-30T05:59:04+00:00

The call to early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem will be skipped if
reserved-ranges is not found. Move the call earlier so that it is called
unconditionally.

powerpc/prom: early_init_dt_scan_cpus() updates cpu features only once

2014-04-07T00:33:14+00:00

All our cpu feature updates were done for every CPU in the device-tree,
thus overwriting the cputable bits over and over again. Instead do them
only for the boot CPU.

powerpc: Make boot_cpuid common between 32 and 64-bit

2014-04-07T00:33:14+00:00

Move the definition to setup-common.c and set the init value
to -1 on both 32 and 64-bit (it was 0 on 64-bit).

Additionally add a check to prom.c to garantee that the init
value has been udpated after the DT scan.

For historical reasons that code was under #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES

Merge tag 'dt-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux

2014-04-02T21:27:15+00:00

Pull devicetree changes from Grant Likely:
 "Updates to devicetree core code.  This branch contains the following
  notable changes:

   - add reserved memory binding
   - make struct device_node a kobject and remove legacy
     /proc/device-tree
   - ePAPR conformance fixes
   - update in-kernel DTC copy to version v1.4.0
   - preparatory changes for dynamic device tree overlays
   - minor bug fixes and documentation changes

  The most significant change in this branch is the conversion of struct
  device_node to be a kobject that is exposed via sysfs and removal of
  the old /proc/device-tree code.  This simplifies the device tree
  handling code and tightens up the lifecycle on device tree nodes.

  [updated: added fix for dangling select PROC_DEVICETREE]"
