* [PATCH] powerpc: Add OF address parsing code (#2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt2006-01-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepagesDavid Gibson2005-12-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed. Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation. We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page in question. Tested on G5.

* powerpc: Trivially merge several headers from asm-ppc64 to asm-powerpcPaul Mackerras2005-11-191-0/+399
For these, I have just done the lame-o merge where the file ends up looking like: #ifndef CONFIG_PPC64 #include <asm-ppc/foo.h> #else ... contents from asm-ppc64/foo.h #endif so nothing has changed, really, except that we reduce include/asm-ppc64 a bit more.
