d40a01d4f4 [CELL] spufs: fix read and write for decr_status file
The decr_status in the LSCSA is valid only in the sequence of context

This patch changes decr_status node to access MFC_CNTL[Ds] in the CSA.

1cfc0f86eb [CELL] spufs: fix decr_status meanings
The decr_status in the LSCSA is confusedly used as two meanings:
 * SPU decrementer was running
 * SPU decrementer was wrapped as a result of adjust
and the code to set decr_status is missing.

This patch fixes these problems by using the decr_status argument as a
set of flags. This requires a rebuild of the shipped spu_restore code.

Save Step 12: save_mfc_decr()
  save suspend_time to CSA (It will be done by step 14)
  save ch 7 (decrementer value will be saved in LSCSA by spe-side step 10)

Restore Step 59: restore_ch_part1()

27b1ea091f [CELL] spufs: make sure context are scheduled again after spu_acquire_saved
Currently a process is removed from the physical spu when spu_acquire_saved
is saved but never put back.  This patch adds a new spu_release_saved
that is to be paired with spu_acquire_saved and put the process back if
it has been in RUNNABLE state before.

Niether Jeremy not be are entirely happy about this exact patch because
it adds another spu_activate call outside of the owner thread, but I
feel this is the best short-term fix we can come up with.

27ec41d3a1 [CELL] spufs: add spu stats in sysfs and ctx stat file in spufs
This patch exports per-context statistics in spufs as long as spu
statistics in sysfs.

It was formed by merging:
"spufs: add spu stats in sysfs"   From: Christoph Hellwig
"spufs: add stat file to spufs"   From: Christoph Hellwig
"spufs: fix libassist accounting" From: Jeremy Kerr
"spusched: fix spu utilization statistics" From: Luke Browning
And some adjustments by myself, after suggestions on cbe-oss-dev.

Having separate patches was making the review process harder
than it should, as we end up integrating spus and ctx statistics
accounting much more than it was on the first implementation.

ce21b3c964 [CELL] add support for MSI on Axon-based Cell systems
This patch adds support for the setup and decoding of MSIs
on Axon-based Cell systems, using the MSIC mechanism.

This involves setting up an area of BE memory which the Axon
then uses as a FIFO for MSI messages. When one or more MSIs
are decoded by the MSIC we receive an interrupt on the MPIC,
and the MSI messages are written into the FIFO. At the moment
we use a 64KB FIFO, one per MSIC/BE.

dbdf04c401 [CELL] driver for DDR2 memory on AXON
The Axon bridge chip used on new Cell/B.E. based blade servers
comes with a DDR2 memory controller that can be used to
attach cheap memory modules, as opposed to the high-speed
XDR memory that is used by the CPU itself.

Since the memory controller does not participate in the
cache coherency protocol, we can not use the memory direcly
for Linux applications, but by providing a block device
it can be used for swap space, temporary file storage and
through the use of the direct_access block device operation
for mapping into user addresses, when it is mounted with
an appropriate file system.

b86ce01c77 [CELL] allow linux to map Cell regs on legacy SLOF tree.
The platforms missing the "cpus" property in the "be" node are mono-Cell
platforms such as CAB or Getaway.

Therefore it is possible to assume that if there is no "cpus" properties
under the "be" node then we can safely return the "device node" without
more checking. This is a bit hacky but ... it allows it to work on
these platforms.

813f90728e [CELL] pmi: remove support for mutiple devices.
The pmi driver got simplified by removing support for multiple devices.
As there is no more than one pmi device per maschine, there is no need to
specify the device for listening and sending messages.

This way the caller (cbe_cpufreq) doesn't need to scan the device tree.
When registering the handler on a board without a pmi
interface, pmi.c will just return -ENODEV.

The patch that fixed the breakage of cell_defconfig has been
broken out of the earlier version of this patch. So this is
the version that applies cleanly on top of it.

per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,

not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

3d7e33825d jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for users
I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use.  This guy I know once
wrote code like this:

struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };

And then his kernel exploded. Oops.

This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.

We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into

all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
however that would be for another patch).

7132ab7f6e Fix RGMII-ID handling in gianfar
The TSEC/eTSEC can detect the interface to the PHY automatically,
but it isn't able to detect whether the RGMII connection needs internal
delay.  So we need to detect that change in the device tree, propagate
it to the platform data, and then check it if we're in RGMII.  This fixes
a bug on the 8641D HPCN board where the Vitesse PHY doesn't use the delay
for RGMII.

cc65185d40 Add phy-connection-type to gianfar nodes
The TSEC/eTSEC automatically detect their PHY interface type, unless
the type is RGMII-ID (RGMII with internal delay).  In that situation,
it just detects RGMII.  In order to fix this, we need to pass in rgmii-id
if that is the connection type.

97ac73506c sys_fallocate() implementation on i386, x86_64 and powerpc
fallocate() is a new system call being proposed here which will allow
applications to preallocate space to any file(s) in a file system.
Each file system implementation that wants to use this feature will need
to support an inode operation called ->fallocate().
Applications can use this feature to avoid fragmentation to certain
level and thus get faster access speed. With preallocation, applications
also get a guarantee of space for particular file(s) - even if later the
the system becomes full.

Currently, glibc provides an interface called posix_fallocate() which
can be used for similar cause. Though this has the advantage of working
on all file systems, but it is quite slow (since it writes zeroes to
each block that has to be preallocated). Without a doubt, file systems
can do this more efficiently within the kernel, by implementing
the proposed fallocate() system call. It is expected that
posix_fallocate() will be modified to call this new system call first
and incase the kernel/filesystem does not implement it, it should fall
back to the current implementation of writing zeroes to the new blocks.
ToDos:
1. Implementation on other architectures (other than i386, x86_64,
   and ppc). Patches for s390(x) and ia64 are already available from
   previous posts, but it was decided that they should be added later
   once fallocate is in the mainline. Hence not including those patches
   in this take.
2. Changes to glibc,
   a) to support fallocate() system call
   b) to make posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64() call fallocate()
