2008-02-13[LIB]: Make PowerPC LMB code generic so sparc64 can use it too.David S. Miller
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-09-19[POWERPC] FWNMI is only used on pSeriesStephen Rothwell
This saves 4k on non pSeries builds (except for iSeries where it saves almost 4k). Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-08-17[POWERPC] Fix section mismatch in crash_dump.cStephen Rothwell
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x23258): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:.lmb_reserve (between '.reserve_kdump_trampoline' and '.restore_processor_state') Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-08-08[POWERPC] Make doc comments extractableMichael Ellerman
We don't have much in the way of doc comments, but some of those we do have don't work because they start with "/***" or "/*", not "/**" which is what kernel-doc requires. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-05-19[PATCH] powerpc: Kdump header cleanupMichael Ellerman
We need to know the base address of the kdump kernel even when we're not a kdump kernel, so add a #define for it. Move the logic that sets the kdump kernelbase into kdump.h instead of page.h. Rename kdump_setup() to setup_kdump_trampoline() to make it clearer what it's doing, and add an empty definition for the !CRASH_DUMP case to avoid a Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-03-31[PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]OGAWA Hirofumi
The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit. This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

We were getting elfcorehdr_addr undefined in this case. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Add arch dependent basic infrastructure for Kdump.Michael Ellerman
Implementing the machine_crash_shutdown which will be called by crash_kexec (called in case of a panic, sysrq etc.). Disable the interrupts, shootdown cpus using debugger IPI and collect regs for all CPUs. elfcorehdr= specifies the location of elf core header stored by the crashed kernel. This command line option will be passed by the kexec-tools to capture kernel. savemaxmem= specifies the actual memory size that the first kernel has and this value will be used for dumping in the capture kernel. This command line option will be passed by the kexec-tools to capture kernel.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Reroute interrupts from 0 + offset to PHYSICAL_START + offsetMichael Ellerman
Regardless of where the kernel's linked we always get interrupts at low addresses. This patch creates a trampoline in the first 3 pages of memory, where interrupts land, and patches those addresses to jump into the real kernel code at PHYSICAL_START. We also need to reserve the trampoline code and a bit more in prom.c Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
