Anton Vorontsov e85477f516 powerpc/83xx: Fix TSEC0 workability on MPC8313E-RDB boards
TSEC0 is connected to Vitesse 7385 5-port switch. The switch
isn't connected to any mdio bus, the link to the switch is fixed
to Full-duplex 1000 Mb/s (no pause).

This patch fixes following failure during bootup:

mdio@24520:01 not found
eth0: Could not attach to PHY
IP-Config: Failed to open eth0

Anton Vorontsov 1f0d4d16d9 powerpc/83xx: Fix missing #{address,size}-cells in mpc8313erdb.dts
commit b31a1d8b41 ("gianfar: Convert
gianfar to an of_platform_driver") introduced a child node for
the ethernet@25000 controller, but no address and size cells
specifiers were added, and that makes dtc unhappy:

Michael Neuling e2a02ba667 powerpc/83xx: Build breakage for CONFIG_PM but no CONFIG_SUSPEND
I noticed this doing some randconfig testing (.config below).  I have
CONFIG_PM but no CONFIG_SUSPEND.  Bug is against mainline.

arch/powerpc/sysdev/built-in.o: In function `ipic_suspend':
ipic.c:(.text+0x6b34): undefined reference to `fsl_deep_sleep'
make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

Looks like #ifdef CONFIG_PM in arch/powerpc/sysdev/ipic.c should be
CONFIG_SUSPEND.  d49747bdfb introduced
this.

Fix build when we have CONFIG_PM but no CONFIG_SUSPEND.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 59b608c2c3 powerpc: Fix oops on some machines due to incorrect pr_debug()
Recently, a patch left DEBUG enabled in the powerpc common PCI code,
resulting in an old bug in a pr_debug() statement to show up and cause
a NULL dereference on some machines.

This fixes the pr_debug() statement and reverts to DEBUG not being
force-enabled in that file.

Grant Likely e489a44e24 powerpc/5200: Bugfix for PCI mapping of memory and IMMR
This patch ensures that memory gets properly mapped into the PCI
address space.  Without this patch, the memory window BAR is left
at whatever value happened to be loaded into the BAR when Linux
was booted.  Without this patch, memory could end up getting mapped
at any of the 1G address boundaries instead of at '0' where Linux
expects it.

Similarly, this patch also ensures that the internally memory mapped
registers (IMMR) are mapped to the correct PCI address range.

Without this patch, PCI appears to work correctly until a PCI
device is inserted which DMAs into memory.

Gerhard Pircher 4c456a67f5 powerpc/mm: Fix handling of _PAGE_COHERENT in BAT setup code
_PAGE_COHERENT is now always set in _PAGE_RAM resp. PAGE_KERNEL.
Thus it has to be masked out, if the BAT mapping should be non
cacheable or CPU_FTR_NEED_COHERENT is not set.

This will work on normal SMP setups because we force-set
CPU_FTR_NEED_COHERENT as part of CPU_FTR_COMMON on SMP.

Robert Jennings 69b052e828 powerpc/pseries: Correct VIO bus accounting problem in CMO env.
In the VIO bus code the wrappers for dma alloc_coherent and free_coherent
calls are rounding to IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE.  Taking a look at the underlying
calls, the actual mapping is promoted to PAGE_SIZE.  Changing the
rounding in these two functions fixes under-reporting the entitlement
used by the system.  Without this change, the system could run out of
entitlement before it believes it has and incur mapping failures at the
firmware level.

Also in the VIO bus code, the wrapper for dma map_sg is not exiting in
an error path where it should.  Rather than fall through to code for the
success case, this patch adds the return that is needed in the error path.

Michael Neuling b60c31d85a powerpc: Get the number of SLBs from "slb-size" property
The PAPR says that the property for specifying the number of SLBs should
be called "slb-size".  We currently only look for "ibm,slb-size" because
this is what firmware actually presents.

This patch makes us look for the "slb-size" property as well and in
preference to the "ibm,slb-size".  This should future proof us if
firmware changes to match PAPR.

FSL U-Boots use /soc8315@e0000000 node to search and fixup serial
nodes' clock-frequency properties. Though in upstream kernels we use
new naming convention -- for IMMR address space dts files specify
/immr@e0000000 nodes.

This makes FSL U-Boots fail to fixup the clock frequencies, and that
leads to serial ports misbehaviour. We can workaround the issue by
filling the clock frequency values manually.

p.s. For the same reason FSL U-Boots fail to fixup MAC addresses for
ethernet nodes, so users should either change the .dts file locally
or set MAC address via `ifconfig hw ether' command.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt c478b58135 powerpc/powermac: Fix occasional SMP boot failure
The PowerMac kernel occasionally fails to bring up the secondary CPUs on
SMP, the trigger factor seem to be fairly random and related to location
of code and data.

This appears to be due to the initial loading of the TOC value by the
secondary processor which now happens before we clear HID4:RM_CI (Real
Mode Cache Invalidate). This bit should really be cleared before we do
any load or store other than fetching code.

This fix works based on the assumption that all SMP 64-bit PowerMacs use
variants of the 970, which fortunately is true, by explicitely clearing
that bit, adding an slbia for good measure as RM_CI mode is known to
create bogus ERAT entries.

I also removed some spurrious debug output that was left enabled by
mistake while at it.

Ingo Molnar fe333321e2 powerpc: Change u64/s64 to a long long integer type
Convert arch/powerpc/ over to long long based u64:

 -#ifdef __powerpc64__
 -# include <asm-generic/int-l64.h>
 -#else
 -# include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
 -#endif
 +#include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>

This will avoid reoccuring spurious warnings in core kernel code that
comes when people test on their own hardware. (i.e. x86 in ~98% of the
cases) This is what x86 uses and it generally helps keep 64-bit code
32-bit clean too.

[Adjusted to not impact user mode (from paulus) - sfr]

Milton Miller 66c721e184 powerpc/kexec: Check crash_base for relocatable kernel
Enforce that the crash kernel region never overlaps the current kernel,
as it will be written directly on kexec load.

Also, default to the previous KDUMP_KERNELBASE if the start is 0.

Other architectures (x86, ia64) state that specifying the start address
0 (or omitting it) will result in the kernel allocating it.  Before the
relocatable patch in 2.6.28, powerpc would adjust any other start value
to the hardcoded KDUMP_KERNELBASE of 32M.

Milton Miller e16459c6b7 powerpc: Make dummy section a valid note header
We are declaring the dummy section (used to work around a binutils
bug) as PT_NOTE, but we don't have enough bytes for it to be a valid
note header, and kexec userspace complains:

Warning: Elf Note name is not null terminated
Warning: append= option is not passed. Using the first kernel root partition
Warning: Elf Note name is not null terminated

Instead of using the arbitray value 0xf177 (aka "fill"), declare a
no-name no-description note of type 0.
