From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: To: From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Mon, 06 Nov 2006 18:05:38 +1100 Subject: [PATCH 0/27] My current serie of patches for 2.6.20 for review In-Reply-To: Message-Id: <1162796738.274582.277491064706.qpush@grosgo> List-Id: Linux on PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , This is the whole of my current patch set that I intend to merge as soon as 2.6.20 merge window opens. I'm posting them here for review, some of them already had a few iterations on the list by their own, some didn't show up publically at all yet. Note that the first 4 ones require specific comments: - powerpc-ibmveth-remove-liobn.diff should already be queued with Jeff Garzik - platform-notify-remove-change.diff - device-notifier.diff should both be already queued with Greg KH - iomap-arch-accessors.diff was written by Linus but is not merged yet. He asked me to resend it when needed, so I'll include it with the other patches when the merge window opens. This patch set started its life as the support for the new "Axon" southbridge for cell (which includes such things as MMIO mapped DCR and 4xx-type devices). However, as things evolved, I ended up doing a lot more than just the basic support. Among other highlights of this patch serie are: - Generic DCR support for both 4xx-type DCRs and MMIO mapped DCR and MPIC & EMAC changes to work with that - Souped up of_platform_driver to make it easier to register entire trees of devices at once, along with PCI host bridge detection support for 64 bits architectures. Note that some name changes might break compile of some platforms. I hope to have fixed everything before I merge but don't forget to tell me if I missed something. - Completely reworked 64 bits DMA operations - Possibility to "hook" on PCI MMIO and PCI operations from the platform code for use by iSeries, Cell and possibly others who have to deal with weird hypervisor or PCI host bridge erratas. Currently supported only on 64 bits but would be easy to make it work on 32 bits if ever needed. - Merged 32 and 64 bits io.h. ARCH=powerpc now uses asm-powerpc/io.h for both. ARCH=ppc still uses the old one in asm-ppc as I really don't feel like dealing with some of the cruft in there. - As a consequence of the 2 above, new accessors are available that match what is done by other architectures: {read,write}{w,l,q}_be for big endian PCI MMIO accesses, {read,write}s{b,w,l} for MMIO "repeat" operations, and a significant cleanup of the EEH stuff.
