Glibc is about to get some new high precision timer stuff that relies on
the standard timebase of the PPC architecture.
However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a
bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on
the wrong CPU...
This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current
processor doesn't have a standard timebase. It's negative logic so that
glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy
on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to
update glibc & kernel at the same time).

I've noticed that the calculations for seg_size and nr_segs in
__dma_sync_page_highmem() (arch/ppc/kernel/dma-mapping.c) are wrong. The
incorrect calculations can result in either an oops or a panic when running
fsck depending on the size of the partition.
The problem with the seg_size calculation is that it can result in a
negative number if size is offset > size. The problem with the nr_segs
caculation is returns the wrong number of segments, e.g. it returns 1 when
size is 200 and offset is 4095, when it should return 2 or more.

This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs. When a cpu
is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled. It
can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is
connected to a GPIO pin.
With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which
means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code
refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope
with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).

This is a patch that I have had in my tree for ages. If init causes
an exception that raises a signal, such as a SIGSEGV, SIGILL or
SIGFPE, and it hasn't registered a handler for it, we don't deliver
the signal, since init doesn't get any signals that it doesn't have a
handler for. But that means that we just return to userland and
generate the same exception again immediately. With this patch we
print a message and kill init in this situation.
This is very useful when you have a bug in the kernel that means that
init doesn't get as far as executing its first instruction. :)
Without this patch the system hangs when it gets to starting the
userland init; with it you at least get a message giving you a clue
about what has gone wrong.

PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor
core level. The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies
that can be configured by software.
One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception. It is left to
board specific code to determine what should happen at this point. If
nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may
attempt to reset the machine.
Command line parameters:
wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default)
wdt=1 : enable watchdog
wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period.
The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check
User Manual for the processor for more details.

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

When we did the handle_mm_fault cleanup and get_user_page() race fixes,
handle_mm_fault turned into an inline function that called the real

Turn it into a GPL export while at it, since this is all about internal
interfaces and MOL is GPL'd anwyay.
In yenta_socket, we default to using the resource setting of the CardBus
bridge. However, this is a PCI-bus-centric view of resources and thus needs
to be converted to generic resources first. Therefore, add a call to
pcibios_bus_to_resource() call in between. This function is a mere wrapper on

Makes kexec_crashdump() take a pt_regs * as an argument. This allows to
get exact register state at the point of the crash. If we come from direct
panic assertion NULL will be passed and the current registers saved before
crashdump.
This hooks into two places:
die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling
do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal
fault.
die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the
pt_regs and go directly to crash_kexec(). We're probably nested up badly

I have tweaked this patch slightly to handle an empty list
of pages to relocate passed to relocate_new_kernel. And
I have added ppc_md.machine_crash_shutdown. To keep up with
the changes in the generic kexec infrastructure.
From: Albert Herranz <albert_herranz@yahoo.es>
The following patch adds support for kexec on the ppc32 platform.
Non-OpenFirmware based platforms are likely to work directly without
additional changes on the kernel side. The kexec-tools userland package
may need to be slightly updated, though.
For OpenFirmware based machines, additional work is still needed on the
kernel side before kexec support is ready. Benjamin Herrenschmidt is
kindly working on that part.
In order for a ppc platform to use the kexec kernel services it must
implement some ppc_md hooks. Otherwise, kexec will be explicitly disabled,
as suggested by benh.
There are 3+1 new ppc_md hooks that a platform supporting kexec may
implement. Two of them are mandatory for kexec to work. See
include/asm-ppc/machdep.h for details.
- machine_kexec_prepare(image)
This function is called to make any arrangements to the image before it
is loaded.
This hook _MUST_ be provided by a platform in order to activate kexec
support for that platform. Otherwise, the platform is considered to not
support kexec and the kexec_load system call will fail (that makes all
existing platforms by default non-kexec'able).
- machine_kexec_cleanup(image)
This function is called to make any cleanups on image after the loaded
image data it is freed. This hook is optional. A platform may or may
not provide this hook.
- machine_kexec(image)
This function is called to perform the _actual_ kexec. This hook
_MUST_ be provided by a platform in order to activate kexec support for
that platform.
If a platform provides machine_kexec_prepare but forgets to provide
machine_kexec, a kexec will fall back to a reboot.
A ready-to-use machine_kexec_simple() generic function is provided to,
hopefully, simplify kexec adoption for embedded platforms. A platform
may call this function from its specific machine_kexec hook, like this:
void myplatform_kexec(struct kimage *image)
{
machine_kexec_simple(image);
}
- machine_shutdown()
This function is called to perform any machine specific shutdowns, not
already done by drivers. This hook is optional. A platform may or may
not provide this hook.
An example (trimmed) platform specific module for a platform supporting
kexec through the existing machine_kexec_simple follows:
/* ... */
#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC
int myplatform_kexec_prepare(struct kimage *image)
{
/* here, we can place additional preparations
*/
return 0; /* yes, we support kexec */
}
void myplatform_kexec(struct kimage *image)
{
machine_kexec_simple(image);
}
#endif /* CONFIG_KEXEC */
/* ... */
void __init
platform_init(unsigned long r3, unsigned long r4,
unsigned long r5,
unsigned long r6, unsigned long r7)
{
/* ... */
#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC
ppc_md.machine_kexec_prepare =
myplatform_kexec_prepare;
ppc_md.machine_kexec =
myplatform_kexec;
#endif /* CONFIG_KEXEC */
/* ... */
}
The kexec ppc kernel support has been heavily tested on the GameCube Linux
port, and, as reported in the fastboot mailing list, it has been tested too
on a Moto 82xx ppc by Rick Richardson.
