37dd2badcf [POWERPC] 85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and booting at non-zero)
Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical
address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and
kdump).  The support can be configured at compile time by setting
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as
desired.

Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE.  Setting this
config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical
addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START.  If
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning.
However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program
header physical address field in the resulting ELF image.

Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a
multiple of 256M.  This is due to how we map TLBs to cover
lowmem.  This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment
in the future.  It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a
non-aligned physical address.

All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization
of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.

The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings.
ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.

/dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system
regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

7711684947 [POWERPC] Remove unused machine call outs
When we moved to arch/powerpc we actively tried to avoid using the
ppc_md.setup_io_mappings().  Currently no board ports use it so let's
remove it to avoid any new boards using it.

Also, remove early_serial_map() since we don't even have a call out for
it in arch/powerpc.

d7917ba705 [POWERPC] Introduce lowmem_end_addr to distinguish from total_lowmem
total_lowmem represents the amount of low memory, not the physical
address that low memory ends at.  If the start of memory is at 0 it
happens that total_lowmem can be used as both the size and the address
that lowmem ends at (or more specifically one byte beyond the end).

To make the code a bit more clear and deal with the case when the start of
memory isn't at physical 0, we introduce lowmem_end_addr that represents
one byte beyond the last physical address in the lowmem region.

99c62dd773 [POWERPC] Remove and replace uses of PPC_MEMSTART with memstart_addr
A number of users of PPC_MEMSTART (40x, ppc_mmu_32) can just always
use 0 as we don't support booting these kernels at non-zero physical
addresses since their exception vectors must be at 0 (or 0xfffx_xxxx).

For the sub-arches that support relocatable interrupt vectors
(book-e), it's reasonable to have memory start at a non-zero physical
address.  For those cases use the variable memstart_addr instead of
the #define PPC_MEMSTART since the only uses of PPC_MEMSTART are for
initialization and in the future we can set memstart_addr at runtime
to have a relocatable kernel.

544cdabe64 [POWERPC] 8xx: Set initial memory limit.
The 8xx can only support a max of 8M during early boot (it seems a lot of
8xx boards only have 8M so the bug was never triggered), but the early
allocator isn't aware of this.  The following change makes it able to run
with larger memory.

df174e3be8 [POWERPC] Add memory regions to the kcore list for 32-bit machines
The entries are only 32-bit, so restrict the virtual address to stay
below 0xffff_ffff.  With KERNELBASE set to 0xc000_0000, this in effect
restricts access to the first 1GB of real memory.

Make setup_kcore conditional on CONFIG_PROC_KCORE for both 32/64.

f21f49ea63 [POWERPC] Remove the dregs of APUS support from arch/powerpc
APUS (the Amiga Power-Up System) is not supported under arch/powerpc
and it's unlikely it ever will be.  Therefore, this patch removes the
fragments of APUS support code from arch/powerpc which have been
copied from arch/ppc.

A few APUS references are left in asm-powerpc in .h files which are
still used from arch/ppc.

set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.
Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with

This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed
to play around with page->_count.

51d3082fe6 [PATCH] powerpc: Unify udbg (#2)
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.

e37bc5df8e [PATCH] powerpc: Purge bootinfo.h
With ARCH=powerpc we assume the presence of a device tree, so we don't
require any support for the old bi_recs method of passing boot
parameters.  Likewise, we've never needed it for ppc64, but we still
had an include/asm-ppc64/bootinfo.h from which nothing was used.  This
patch removes that file, and all references to it in arch/ppc64 and
arch/powerpc.  A related, unused variable 'boot_mem_size' is also
removed from setup_32.c.  The bootinfo stuff remains in ARCH=ppc for
the time being.

Built and booted on Power5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc), built for
32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc).

30cd4a4e9c powerpc: Initialize btext subsystem later, after prom_init
We were initializing the btext stuff from prom_init(), thus breaking
the rule that all communication between prom_init() and the rest of
the kernel has to be via the flattened device tree.  This removes
the btext initialization calls from prom_init() and initializes it
instead after the device tree is unflattened.  It would be nice to
do it earlier, but that needs some more infrastructure to find the
properties we need in the flattened device tree.
