Microblaze fixes for revision

[monstr]

Hi All,

here are some patches which fixed some minor things.

There are some categories of patches:
1. Enable some driver for Microblaze - 0011
2. Clean code - 0001, 0003
3. Fix real issue - 0002
4. Do minor changes for future MMU merge - 0004, 0005, 0009
5. Fix sparse errors - 0006, 0007
6. Optional changes - 0008, 0010

All changes are simple and easy to review.

Thanks,
Michal

[PATCH 02/11] microblaze: Remove while(1) loop from show_regs function

[monstr]

From: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

I removed it because of show_regs can't break die function.
If process/kernel failed, die (do_exit) function resolve it.

[PATCH 03/11] microblaze: Remove uncache shadow condition

[monstr]

From: Michal Simek <monstr@monstr.eu>

Uncached shadow feature is not supported in current
kernel code that's why I removed it.

ACK from a MicroBlaze perspective, but some other comments below:

A note more for the Xilinx PPC folks (ie Grant Likely):

Shouldn't some of these Kconfig depends for PPC be unified?  We have:

Are these all really different options?  PPC_OF?  XILINX_VIRTEX?  4xx?

xsysace should just depend on either PPC or OF.  It is applicable to
more than just virtex/spartan systems (I know of at least one
non-virtex 440 board with a systemace, hence the 4xx usage), and it is
conceivable that it would be used on other architectures.

XILINX_VIRTEX makes some sense for hwicap

PPC_OF doesn't have any real meaning anymore.  PPC would be better.

I'd like to see a single configuration option that makes all of these drivers available.  That way, any processor system (x86, soft arm core, etc.) could turn those on.. The only thing these drivers *REALLY* depend on is OF...  I've circulated patches to do this several times, although they're probably hopelessly out of date at this point.

Can we have XILINX_DRIVERS, please?  That way this can also be enabled
on any architecture that has FPGA peripherals.

I've thought about this more, and I'd really rather not.  The list of
affected drivers is short and is not a large maintenance burden.  I
don't think a list of 2 or 3 architecture selects for each driver is
unreasonable.  A "XILINX_DRIVERS" config item doesn't really help much
anyway.  At any given time one of these drivers may be needed on
another platform.  ie. the SystemACE device is present on at least one
non-virtex, non-spartan platform.

who know's what is "TestFloat cases" and how to test this feature on the Freescale MPC8536DS board

[derekzheng]

Hi all guys:

The Freescale MPC8536DS board Integrated TestFloat cases, and I do not know how to test this feature on this board.
Please tell me how to test it if you known

Thanks very much!

1. why are you CC' the microblaze list on this question?
2. I assume you are talking about the FSL BSP for MPC8536DS
3. testfloat is a set of tests.  Its not clear what your question is.   
You build testfloat and run it and it reports pass/fails.

What about the radical approach of having NO architecture
filters/selectors?  Even if some random i386 user selects one of these
drivers, so what?  It will still compile cleanly (if it doesn't we
have to fix it), but there'll be no platform_device_register() call in
their machine startup to actually cause driver / device binding.

No harm, no foul.  Problem goes away.

Then, as Grant points out, the rare cases where non-Xilinx platforms
do use this stuff, they'll presumably know what they're doing and it's
their responsibility to register the appropriate platform_device
structures and make the magic happen.

It seems like John's suggestion of no arch filters would satisfy that also. Since FPGAs are used in so many different applications this would seem to open the drivers up to everyone regardless of what processor they're using. It's certainly less complex so I like it in that way.

But maybe I'm missing something here and there's a downside?

No, I don't think there is.

I think CONFIG_OF is the right thing to do.

Some (most?) of the Xilinx drivers currently have this construct:

#ifdef CONFIG_OF

// probe using OF

#else

// probe using platform_device

#endif

so unless this is going to change some time soon, maybe even CONFIG_OF
is too restrictive?

How are microblaze patches getting into Linus's tree?

An appropriate route would be for you to ask him to pull the git tree. 
I could send them (as I do with alpha, uml and maybe others), but
that's more a last-resort way of maintaining an architecture.

The microblaze git tree should be included in linux-next.  Please
prepare a branch and send the info over to Stephen Rothwell
<sfr@canb.auug.org.au> and linux-next@vger.kernel.org to get that all
set up.

For these particular patches: officially, 2.6.30-rcN is in bugfix-only
mode.  But as microblaze is newly-added in 2.6.30 I think it's OK to
put non-bugfixes into 2.6.30 as well - we might as well get the
architecture as up-to-date as possible for the 2.6.30 release.

I created two branches in git as Ingo suggested me.
1. for-linus -> this branch stores new features which comes to next
merge open window
2. fixes-for-linus -> this branch stores fixes which come to rc version

I asked Linus for pulling it to his tree. I think rc3 will be soon - the
changes which I sent for
reviewing to LKML are OK (except Kconfig patch 11/11 - which I removed
for now) - they are ready
in fixes-for-linus branch.
I'll write next pull request - some days after rc3.

I think that my maintaining will be good for you and all.

OK. I will contact him to sort this things.

Thanks but I don't need to add new feature now.
I am solving some problems with romfs which comes with David's romfs changes

And I am preparing MMU Microblaze patches which I want to send to review
to LKML soon. I have there only some things to solve (like add
__uClinux__ to headers). I tested it with LTP and the results are good.
I would like to have ACKs and add it in next merge open window.

Thanks,
Michal
