7fb76aa07f [SUNGEM]: Unbreak Sun GEM chips.
Revert: 40727198bf

These PHY changes hang the sungem driver on startup with Sun chips on
sparc64.  Hopefully we can redo these changes in a way that doesn't
break non-Apple systems.

40727198bf [SUNGEM]: Make PM of PHYs more reliable (#2)
On my latest laptop, I've had occasional PHY dead on wakeup from
sleep... the PHY would be totally unresponsive even to toggling the hard
reset line until the machine is powered down... Looking closely at the
code, I found some possible issues in the way we setup the MDIO lines
during suspend along with slight divergences from what Darwin does when
resetting it that may explain the problem. That patch change these and
the problem appear to be gone for me at least... I also fixed an mdelay
-> msleep while I was at it to the pmac feature code that is called
when toggling the PHY reset line since sungem doesn't call it in an
atomic context anymore.

3356bb9f7b [PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACA
At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries
hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level
per-cpu structure.  This doesn't have to be so, the patch below
removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures.

This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel
memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and
hypervisor portions of every PACA.  On the other hand it means an
extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.

The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca
address to a local variable for no particular reason.

296167ae17 [PATCH] powerpc: Make early debugging configurable via Kconfig
This patch adds Kconfig entries to control the early debugging options,
currently in setup_64.c.

Doing this via Kconfig rather than #defines means you can have one source tree,
which is buildable for multiple platforms - and you can enable the correct
early debug option for each platform via .config.

I made udbg_early_init() a static inline because otherwise GCC is to daft to
optimise it away when debugging is off.

Now that we have udbg_init_rtas() we can make call_rtas_display_status* static.

This patch adds cpufreq support for all desktop "tower" G5 models. The
only G5 models still lacking cpufreq support at this point are the
Xserve and possibly the new iMac iSight (not tested). I'll have those
added soon. That patch uses the new platform functions interpreter to
implement frequency and voltage switching on most models.

Note that in order to find the low frequency value, I had to hack
something that might now work properly on all models, so if the
frequency value reported when running low speed looks bogus to you,
please report it to me. (Appart from a bogus reported value, things
should work fine).

5b9ca52691 [PATCH] 3/5 powerpc: Add platform functions interpreter
This is the platform function interpreter itself along with the backends
for UniN/U3/U4, mac-io, GPIOs and i2c. It adds the ability to execute
those do-platform-* scripts in the device-tree (at least for most
devices for which a backend is provided). This should replace the clock
spreading hacks properly. It might also have an impact on all sort of
machines since some of the scripts marked "at init" will now be executed
on boot (or some other on sleep/wakeup), those will possibly do things
that the kernel didn't do at all, like setting some values into some i2c
devices (changing thermal sensor calibration or conversion rate) etc...
Thus regression testing is MUCH welcome. Also loook for errors in dmesg.
That's also why I've left rather verbose debugging enabled in this
version of the patch.

(I do expect some Windtunnel G4s to show some errors as they have an i2c
clock chip on the PMU bus that uses some primitives that the i2c backend
doesn't implement yet. I really need users that have one of those
machine to come back to me so we can get that done right, though the
errors themselves should be harmless, I suspect the machine might not
run at full speed).

a28d3af2a2 [PATCH] 2/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 2
This is the continuation of the previous patch. This one removes the old
PowerMac i2c drivers (i2c-keywest and i2c-pmac-smu) and replaces them
both with a single stub driver that uses the new PowerMac low i2c layer.

Now that i2c-keywest is gone, the low-i2c code is extended to support
interrupt driver transfers. All i2c busses now appear as platform
devices. Compatibility with existing drivers should be maintained as the
i2c bus names have been kept identical, except for the SMU bus but in
that later case, all users has been fixed.

With that patch added, matching a device node to an i2c_adapter becomes
trivial.

730745a5c4 [PATCH] 1/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 1
This is the first part of a rework of the PowerMac i2c code. It
completely reworks the "low_i2c" layer. It is now more flexible,
supports KeyWest, SMU and PMU i2c busses, and provides functions to
match device nodes to i2c busses and adapters.

This patch also extends & fix some bugs in the SMU driver related to i2c
support and removes the clock spreading hacks from the pmac feature code
rather than adapting them to the new API since they'll be replaced by
the platform function code completely in patch 3/5

2fb9d20636 [PATCH] spufs: set irq affinity for running threads
For far, all SPU triggered interrupts always end up on
the first SMT thread, which is a bad solution.

This patch implements setting the affinity to the
CPU that was running last when entering execution on
an SPU. This should result in a significant reduction
in IPI calls and better cache locality for SPE thread
specific data.

6ff730c33b [PATCH] spufs: fix sparse warnings
One local variable is missing an __iomem modifier,
in another place, we pass a completely unused argument
with a missing __user modifier.

f0831acc4b [PATCH] spufs: abstract priv1 register access.
In a hypervisor based setup, direct access to the first
priviledged register space can typically not be allowed
to the kernel and has to be implemented through hypervisor
calls.

As suggested by Masato Noguchi, let's abstract the register
access trough a number of function calls. Since there is
currently no public specification of actual hypervisor
calls to implement this, I only provide a place that
makes it easier to hook into.
