2011-05-19MIPS: Lantiq: Add PCI controller support.John Crispin
The Lantiq family of SoCs have a EBU (External Bus Unit). This patch adds the driver that allows us to use the EBU as a PCI controller. In order for PCI to work the EBU is set to endianess swap all the data. In addition we need to make use of SWAP_IO_SPACE for device->host DMA to work. The clock of the PCI works in several modes (internal/external). If this is not configured correctly the SoC will hang.

2011-05-19MIPS: Lantiq: add SoC specific code for XWAY familyJohn Crispin
Add support for the Lantiq XWAY family of Mips24KEc SoCs. * Danube (PSB50702) * Twinpass (PSB4000) * AR9 (PSB50802) * Amazon SE (PSB5061) The Amazon SE is a lightweight SoC and has no PCI as well as a different clock. We split the code out into seperate files to handle this. The GPIO pins on the SoCs are multi function and there are several bits we can use to configure the pins. To be as compatible as possible to GPIOLIB we add a function int lq_gpio_request(unsigned int pin, unsigned int alt0, unsigned int alt1, unsigned int dir, const char *name); which lets you configure the 2 "alternate function" bits. This way drivers like PCI can make use of GPIOLIB without a cubersome wrapper. The PLL code inside arch/mips/lantiq/xway/clk-xway.c is voodoo to me. It was taken from a 2.4.20 source tree and was never really changed by me since then.

2011-05-19powerpc/pseries/iommu: Find windows after kexec during bootMilton Miller
Move the discovery of windows previously setup from when the pci driver calls set_dma_mask to an arch_initcall. When kexecing into a kernel with dynamic dma windows allocated, we need to find the windows early so that memory hot remove will be able to delete the tces mapping the to be removed memory and memory hotplug add will map the new memory into the window. We should not wait for the driver to be loaded and the device to be probed. The iommu init hooks are before kmalloc is setup, so defer to arch_initcall.

2011-05-19modpost: Update 64k section support for binutils 2.18.50Anders Kaseorg
Binutils 2.18.50 made a backwards-incompatible change in the way it writes ELF objects with over 65280 sections, to improve conformance with the ELF specification and interoperability with other ELF tools. Specifically, it no longer adds 256 to section indices SHN_LORESERVE and higher to skip over the reserved range SHN_LORESERVE through SHN_HIRESERVE; those values are only considered special in the st_shndx field, and not in other places where section indices are stored.

2011-05-19powerpc/pseries/iommu: Remove ddw property when destroying windowMilton Miller
If we destroy the window, we need to remove the property recording that we setup the window. Otherwise the next kernel we kexec will be confused. Also we should remove the property if even if we don't find the ibm,ddw-applicable window or if one of the property sizes is unexpected; presumably these came from a prior kernel via kexec, and we will not be maintaining the window with respect to memory hotplug.

2011-05-19lib: Add generic binary search function to the kernel.Tim Abbott
There a large number hand-coded binary searches in the kernel (run "git grep search | grep binary" to find many of them). Since in my experience, hand-coding binary searches can be error-prone, it seems worth cleaning this up by providing a generic binary search function. This generic binary search implementation comes from Ksplice. It has the same basic API as the C library bsearch() function. Ksplice uses it in half a dozen places with 4 different comparison functions, and I think our code is substantially cleaner because of this.

2011-05-19module: undo module RONX protection correctly.Jan Glauber
While debugging I stumbled over two problems in the code that protects module pages. First issue is that disabling the protection before freeing init or unload of a module is not symmetric with the enablement. For instance, if pages are set to RO the page range from module_core to module_core + core_ro_size is protected. If a module is unloaded the page range from module_core to module_core + core_size is set back to RW. So pages that were not set to RO are also changed to RW. This is not critical but IMHO it should be symmetric. Second issue is that while set_memory_rw & set_memory_ro are used for RO/RW changes only set_memory_nx is involved for NX/X. One would await that the inverse function is called when the NX protection should be removed, which is not the case here, unless I'm missing something.

2011-05-19module: deal with alignment issues in built-in module versionsDmitry Torokhov
On m68k natural alignment is 2-byte boundary but we are trying to align structures in __modver section on sizeof(void *) boundary. This causes trouble when we try to access elements in this section in array-like fashion when create "version" attributes for built-in modules. Moreover, as DaveM said, we can't reliably put structures into independent objects, put them into a special section, and then expect array access over them (via the section boundaries) after linking the objects together to just "work" due to variable alignment choices in different situations. The only solution that seems to work reliably is to make an array of plain pointers to the objects in question and put those pointers in the special section.
