      [POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systems · 5d2efba6
      Linas Vepstas authored 
      The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew
up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by
numerous error messages:

 iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1

Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because
one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when
the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to
exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card.

This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own
unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its
actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE
and then uses this in all the places that matter.

As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance
on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since
we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW
is still 4k).

In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable
in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW
page sizes in the iommu itself.

      [POWERPC] Fix oprofile support for e500 in arch/powerpc · dd6c89f6
      Andy Fleming authored 
      Fixed a compile error in building the 85xx support with oprofile, and in
the process cleaned up some issues with the fsl_booke performance monitor
code.

* Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450
  wouldn't be built if the e500 was, and cleaned it up so it was more
  self-contained.

* Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E.  The original
  cpu_setup function prototype had no arguments, assuming that
  the reg_setup function would copy the required information into
  variables which represented the registers.  This was silly for
  e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for
  all counters), so the code has been restructured to have
  cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument,
  with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through
  on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the
  model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument.  The
  argument is ignored on all other platforms at present.

* Fixed a confusing line where a trinary operator only had two
  arguments

      [POWERPC] Fix rmb() for e500-based machines it · e0da0dae
      Andy Fleming authored 
      The e500 core generates an illegal instruction exception when it tries
to execute the lwsync instruction, which we currently use for rmb().
This fixes it by using the LWSYNC macro, which turns into a plain sync
on 32-bit machines.

      [POWERPC] Fix various offb issues · 441cbd8d
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      This patch fixes a few issues in offb:

 - A test was inverted causing the palette hack to never work
(no device node was passed down to the init function)

 - Some cards seem to have their assigned-addresses property in a random
order, thus we need to try using of_get_pci_address() first, which will
fail if it's not a PCI device, and fallback to of_get_address() in that
case. of_get_pci_address() properly parsees assigned-addresses to test
the BAR number and thus will get it right whatever the order is.

 - Some cards (like GXT4500) provide a linebytes of 0xffffffff in the
device-tree which does no good. This patch handles that by using the
screen width when that happens. (Also fixes btext.c while at it).

 - Add detection of the GXT4500 in addition to the GXT2000 for the
palette hacks (we use the same hack, palette is linear in register space
at offset 0x6000).
