Knut Petersen 44637a12f8 [PATCH] Update cyblafb driver
This is a major update to the cyblafb framebuffer driver. Most
of the stuff has been tested in the mm tree.

Main advantages:
============
  - vxres > xres support
  - ywrap and xpan support
  - much faster for almost all modes (e.g. 1280x1024-16bpp
     draws more than 41 full screens of text instead of about 25
     full screens of text per second on authors Epia 5000)
  - module init/exit code fixed
  - bugs triggered by console rotation fixed
  - lots of minor improvements
  - startup modes suitable for high performance scrolling
     in all directions

This diff  also contains a lot of white space fixes.

No side effects are possible, only one single graphics core is affected.

Andrew Chew b887030aec [PATCH] sata_nv, spurious interrupts at system startup with MAXTOR 6H500F0 drive
This patch works around a problem with spurious interrupts seen at boot time when
a MAXTOR 6H500F0 drive is present.  An ATA interrupt condition is mysteriously
present at start of day.  If we took too long in issuing the first command,
the kernel would basically get tired of the spurious interrupts and turn the interrupt
off.  Issuing the first command essentially causes the interrupt condition to
get acknowledged.

I haven't seen this happen with any other drives.

What I basically do is ack ATA status by reading it regardless of whether we're
expecting to have to handle an interrupt.  This clears the start-of-day anomalous
interrupt condition, and keeps the kernel from disabling that interrupt due to
too many spurious interrupts.

Also, I fixed a bug where hotplug interrupts weren't getting acknowledged as handled
in the ISR.  This was not the cause of the spurious interrupts, but it's the right
thing to do anyway.

Disable TX status deferral (EMACx_MR[MWSW=001]) in half-duplex mode.
I have two reports when EMAC stops transmitting when connected to a

Johannes Berg a4bf26f30e [PATCH] ieee80211: enable hw wep where host has to build IV
This patch fixes some of the ieee80211 crypto related code so that
instead of having the host fully do crypto operations, the host_build_iv
flag works properly (for WEP in this patch) which, if turned on,
requires the hardware to do all crypto operations, but the ieee80211
layer builds the IV. The hardware also has to build the ICV.

Previously, the host_build_iv flag couldn't be used at all for WEP, and
not alone (with both host_decrypt and host_encrypt disabled) because the
crypto algorithm wasn't assigned. This is also fixed.

I have tested this patch both in host crypto mode and in hw crypto mode
(with the Broadcom chipset).

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

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 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).

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 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.

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

Anton Blanchard 002ec58eb5 [PATCH] ppc64: fix time syscall
ppc64 has its own version of sys_time. It looks pretty scary, touching
a whole bunch of variables without any locking or memory ordering.

In fact, a recent bugreport has shown it can actually go backwards. Time
to remove it and just use the generic sys_time, which is implemented on
top of do_gettimeofday.

Paul Janzen aed9c6ccb8 [PATCH] ppc32: Put cache flush routines back into .relocate_code section
In 2.6.14, we had the following definition of _GLOBAL() in
include/asm-ppc/processor.h:

#define _GLOBAL(n)\
        .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\
        .globl n;\
n:

In 2.6.15, as part of the great powerpc merge, we moved this definition to
include/asm-powerpc/ppc_asm.h, where it appears (to 32-bit code) as:

#define _GLOBAL(n)      \
        .text;          \
        .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\
        .globl n;       \
n:

Mostly, this is fine.  However, we also have the following, in
arch/ppc/boot/common/util.S:

        .section ".relocate_code","xa"
[...]
_GLOBAL(flush_instruction_cache)
[...]
_GLOBAL(flush_data_cache)
[...]

The addition of the .text section definition in the definition of
_GLOBAL overrides the .relocate_code section definition.  As a result,
these two functions don't end up in .relocate_code, so they don't get
relocated correctly, and the boot fails.

There's another suspicious-looking usage at kernel/swsusp.S:37 that
someone should look into.  I did not exhaustively search the source
tree, though.

The following is the minimal patch that fixes the immediate problem.
I could easily be convinced that the _GLOBAL definition should be
modified to remove the ".text;" line either instead of, or in addition
to, this fix.

Arnd Bergmann 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.

Arnd Bergmann aeb013772a [PATCH] spufs: fix allocation on 64k pages
The size of the local store is architecture defined
and independent from the page size, so it should
not be defined in terms of pages in the first place.

This mistake broke a few places when building for
64kb pages.
