- Define the specific region ids in terms of the REGION_ID()

- Define KERNEL_REGION_ID in terms of PAGE_OFFSET rather than

[PATCH] spufs: fix mailbox polling
Handling mailbox interrupts was broken in multiple respects,
the combination of which was hiding the bugs most of the time.
- The ibox interrupt mask was open initially even though there
are no waiters on a newly created SPU.
- Acknowledging the mailbox interrupt did not work because
it is level triggered and the mailbox data is never retrieved
from inside the interrupt handler.
- The interrupt handler delivered interrupts with a disabled
mask if another interrupt is triggered for the same class
but a different mask.
- The poll function did not enable the interrupt if it had not
been enabled, so we might run into the poll timeout if none of
the other bugs saved us and no signal was delivered.
We probably still have a similar problem with blocking
read/write on mailbox files, but that will result in extra
wakeup in the worst case, not in incorrect behaviour.

Oh, and if we actually set the flag, then we fairly quickly find out
that I was a bit overzealous in copying code from entry_64.S ... :)

[PATCH] Save NVGPRS in 32-bit signal frame
Somehow this one slipped through the cracks; when we ended up in
do_signal() on a 32-bit kernel but without having the caller-saved
registers into the regs, we didn't set the TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag to
ensure they got saved later.

This makes it deal with the fact that the Pegasos firmware reports that
its clock frequency is zero...

[PATCH] powerpc: Remove some unneeded fields from the paca
This patch removes several unnecessary fields from the paca:
- next_jiffy_update_tb was simply unused. Remove trivially.
- The exdsi exception save area was not used. There were plans to use
it, but they never seem to have gone anywhere. If they ever do, we
can put it back. Remove from the paca, and from asm-offsets.c
- The default_decr field was used from asm, but was only ever assigned
the value of tb_ticks_per_jiffy. Just access tb_ticks_per_jiffy from
asm directly instead.

[PATCH] powerpc: Remove ItLpRegSave area from the paca
On iSeries, the paca contains, amongst other things an ItLpRegSave
structure used by the hypervisor to save registers. The hypervisor
locates this area through a pointer at the beginning of the paca, so
the structure itself can be located elsewhere. This patch moves the
reg_save area out into its own array. This reduces the amount of
iSeries specific gunk which is visible to general powerpc code via
paca.h

[PATCH] powerpc: Make hugepage mappings respect hint addresses
Currently, the powerpc version of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() entirely
ignores the hint address. The only way to get a hugepage mapping at a
specified address is with MAP_FIXED, in which case there's no way
(short of parsing /proc/self/maps) for userspace to tell if it will
clobber an existing mapping. This is inconvenient, so the patch below
makes hugepage mappings use the given hint address if possible.

[PATCH] powerpc: Add back support for booting from BootX (#2)
ARCH=powerpc couldn't boot from BootX as it uses a "different" way of
getting in the kernel. This patch adds the necessary trampolines,
creating a flattened device-tree from the tree passed from MacOS, and
initializing the btext engine early for really-early debugging.

This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the
merged achitecture. xmon now has a single "back end". The powermac udbg
stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In
addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well,
approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations.
The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify
them in a later patch.
For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using
"btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg
output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a
later patch.

This moves the discovery of legacy serial ports to a separate file,

detect some PCI serial cards using legacy chips and will probably match
those discovered port with the default console choice.
Only ppc64 gets udbg still yet, unifying udbg isn't finished yet.
It also adds some speed-probing code to udbg so that the default console
can come up at the same speed it was set to by the firmware.

Parsing addresses extracted from Open Firmware isn't a simple matter. We
have various bits of code that try to do it in various place, including
some heuristics in prom.c that pre-parse addresses at boot and fill
device-nodes "addrs", but those are dodgy at best and I want to
deprecate them. So this patch introduces a new set of routines that
should be capable of parsing most types of addresses and translating
them into CPU physical addresses. It currently works for things on PCI
busses and ISA busses and should work on "standard" busses like the root
bus or the MacIO bus that don't put funky flags in addresses. If you
have other bus types that do use funky flags, you'll have to add new bus
type translators, which is fairly easy.

[PATCH] spufs: cooperative scheduler support
This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use
more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the
system.
Currently, there is no support for preempting a running
SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering
an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the
owning thread or by sending a signal to it.
This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU
in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore
to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath
us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change
the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save
or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore
to read-only.
