      MIPS: PowerTV: Fix support for timer interrupts with > 64 external IRQs · 010c108d
      David VomLehn authored
      The MIPS processor is limited to 64 external interrupt sources. Using a
      greater number without IRQ sharing requires reading platform-specific
      registers. On such platforms, reading the IntCtl register to determine
      which interrupt corresponds to a timer interrupt will not work.
      
      On MIPSR2 systems there is a solution - the TI bit in the Cause register,
      specifically indicates that a timer interrupt has occured. This patch uses
      that bit to detect interrupts for MIPSR2 processors, which may be expected
      to work regardless of how the timer interrupt may be routed in the hardware.

      MIPS: PowerTV: Streamline access to platform device registers · 59dfa2fc
      David VomLehn authored
      Pre-compute addresses for the basic ASIC registers. This speeds up access
      and allows memory for unused configurations to be freed. In addition,
      uninitialized register addresses will be returned as NULL to catch bad
      usage quickly.

      MIPS: Fix vmlinuz build for 32bit-only math shells · 9c4a6fce
      Alexander Clouter authored
      POSIX requires $((<expression>)) arithmetic in sh only to have long
      arithmetic so on 32-bit sh binaries might do only 32-bit arithmetic but
      the arithmetic done in arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile needs 64-bit.
      
      I play with the AR7 platform, so VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS is
      0xffffffff94100000, and for an example 4MiB kernel
      VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS is made out to be:
      ----
      alex@berk:~$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))'
      ffffffff94500000
      alex@berk:~$ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))'
      80000000003fffff
      ----
      
      The former is obviously correct whilst the later breaks things royally.
      
      Fortunately working with only the lower 32bit's works for both bash and
      dash:
      ----
      $ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))'
      94500000
      $ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))'
      94500000
      ----
      
      So, we can split the original 64bit string to two parts, and only
      calculate the low 32bit part, which is big enough (1GiB kernel sizes
      anyone?) for a normal Linux kernel image file, now, we calculate the
      VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS like this:
      
      1. if present, append top 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS" as a prefix
      2. get the sum of the low 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS + VMLINUX_SIZE
      
      This patch fixes vmlinuz kernel builds on systems where only a
      32bit-only math shell is available.
      
      Patch Changelog:
        Version 2
          - simplified method by using 'expr' for 'substr' and making it work
      	with dash once again
        Version 1
          - Revert the removals of '-n "$(VMLINUX_SIZE)"' to avoid the error
              of "make clean"
          - Consider more cases of the VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS
        Version 0
          - initial release

      drm/i915: Selectively enable self-reclaim · 4bdadb97
      Chris Wilson authored
      Having missed the ENOMEM return via i915_gem_fault(), there are probably
      other paths that I also missed. By not enabling NORETRY by default these
      paths can run the shrinker and take memory from the system (but not from
      our own inactive lists because our shrinker can not run whilst we hold
      the struct mutex) and this may allow the system to survive a little longer
      whilst our drivers consume all available memory.

      firewire: ohci: fix crashes with TSB43AB23 on 64bit systems · 7a481436
      Stefan Richter authored
      Unsurprisingly, Texas Instruments TSB43AB23 exhibits the same behaviour
      as TSB43AB22/A in dual buffer IR DMA mode:  If descriptors are located
      at physical addresses above the 31 bit address range (2 GB), the
      controller will overwrite random memory.  With luck, this merely
      prevents video reception.  With only a little less luck, the machine
      crashes.
      
      We use the same workaround here as with TSB43AB22/A:  Switch off the
      dual buffer capability flag and use packet-per-buffer IR DMA instead.
      Another possible workaround would be to limit the coherent DMA mask to
      31 bits.
      
      In Linux 2.6.33, this change serves effectively only as documentation
      since dual buffer mode is not used for any controller anymore.  But
      somebody might want to re-enable it in the future to make use of
      features of dual buffer DMA that are not available in packet-per-buffer
      mode.
      
      In Linux 2.6.32 and older, this update is vital for anyone with this
      controller, more than 2 GB RAM, a 64 bit kernel, and FireWire video or
      audio applications.
      
      We have at least four reports:
