      [PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem · 1b1dcc1b
      Jes Sorensen authored 
      

This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

      [PATCH] 4/5 powerpc: Add cpufreq support for all desktop G5 · 9a699aef
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      

This patch adds cpufreq support for all desktop "tower" G5 models. The
only G5 models still lacking cpufreq support at this point are the
Xserve and possibly the new iMac iSight (not tested). I'll have those
added soon. That patch uses the new platform functions interpreter to
implement frequency and voltage switching on most models.

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
should work fine).

      [PATCH] 3/5 powerpc: Add platform functions interpreter · 5b9ca526
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      

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).

      [PATCH] 2/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 2 · a28d3af2
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      

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.

      [PATCH] 1/5 powerpc: Rework PowerMac i2c part 1 · 730745a5
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      

This is the first part of a rework of the PowerMac i2c code. It
completely reworks the "low_i2c" layer. It is now more flexible,
supports KeyWest, SMU and PMU i2c busses, and provides functions to
match device nodes to i2c busses and adapters.

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

      [PATCH] spufs: set irq affinity for running threads · 2fb9d206
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      

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.

      [PATCH] spufs: abstract priv1 register access. · f0831acc
      Arnd Bergmann authored 
      

In a hypervisor based setup, direct access to the first
priviledged register space can typically not be allowed
to the kernel and has to be implemented through hypervisor
calls.

As suggested by Masato Noguchi, let's abstract the register
access trough a number of function calls. Since there is
currently no public specification of actual hypervisor
calls to implement this, I only provide a place that
makes it easier to hook into.
