2011-03-04powerpc/nvram: Generalize code for OS partitions in NVRAMJim Keniston
Adapt the functions used to create and write to the RTAS-log partition to work with any OS-type partition. Signed-off-by: Jim Keniston <jkenisto@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Handle partition names >= 12 charsJim Keniston
The name field in the nvram_header can be < 12 chars, null-terminated, or 12 chars without the null. Handle this safely. Signed-off-by: Jim Keniston <jkenisto@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Fix NVRAM partition list setupJim Keniston
Simplify creation and use of the NVRAM partition list. Signed-off-by: Jim Keniston <jkenisto@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Move the log partition stuff to pseriesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The nvram log partition stuff currently in nvram_64.c is really pseries specific. It isn't actually used on anything else (despite the fact that we ran the code to setup the partition on anything except powermac) and the log format is specific to pseries RTAS implementation. So move it where it belongs Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Change nvram_setup_partition() to use new helperBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This changes the function to use nvram_find_partition() instead of doing the lookup "by hand". It also makes some of the logic clearer and prints out more useful diagnostic information. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Add nvram_find_partition()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Improve partition removalBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Existing code is nasty, has bugs etc... rewrite the function more simply, and make it take the signature and optional name of the partitions to remove as arguments, thus making it a more generic utility. We also try to remove a log partition that we find and is too small rather than creating a duplicate. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Shuffle code around in nvram_create_partition()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
This error log stuff is really pseries specific. As a first step we move the initialization of these variables to the caller of nvram_create_partition(), which is also slightly reorganized so we setup the free partition before we clear the new partition, so the chance of an error during clear leaving us with invalid headers is lessened. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Completely clear a new partitionBenjamin Herrenschmidt
When creating a partition, we clear it entirely rather than just the first two words since the previous code was rather specific to the pseries log partition format. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Ensure that the partition header/block size is rightBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Use BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure the structure representing a partition header have the right size. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: nvram_create_partitions() now uses bytesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This converts nvram_create_partition() to use a size in bytes rather than blocks. It does the appropriate alignment internally The size passed is also the data size (ie. doesn't include the header anymore). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: More flexible nvram_create_partition()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Replace nvram_create_os_partition() with a variant that takes the partition name, signature and size as arguments. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-30powerpc/nvram: Move things out of asm/nvram.hBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This moves a bunch of definitions out of asm/nvram.h to the files that use them or just outright remove completely unused stuff. We leave the partition signatures definitions, they will be useful Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-02-09arch/powerpc: Fix continuation line formatsJoe Perches
String constants that are continued on subsequent lines with \ are not good. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-11-24powerpc: Use unlocked ioctl in nvram_64Thomas Gleixner
The ioctl is only used for powermac systems and reads a partition number from an array which is initialized at boot time way before the nvram code is initialized. So it's safe to switch to unlocked_ioctl.

2009-10-30powerpc/nvram_64: Check nvram_error_log_index in nvram_clear_error_log()Thomas Gleixner
nvram_clear_error_log() calls ppc_md.nvram_write() even when nvram_error_log_index is -1 (invalid). The nvram_write() function does not check for a negative offset. Check nvram_error_log_index as the other nvram log functions do.

2009-10-30powerpc/nvram_64: Remove unused codeThomas Gleixner
nvram_find_partition() has no user. The call site was removed in the arch/powerpc move, but the function stayed. Remove it.

2007-08-17[POWERPC] pseries: Fix jumbled no_logging flagLinas Vepstas
Get rid of the jumbled usage of the no_logging flag. Its use spans several directories, and is incorrectly/misleadingly documented. Instead, two changes: 1) nvram will accept error log as soon as its ready. 2) logging to nvram stops on the first fatal error reported.

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2Arjan van de Ven
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

2006-12-13[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() callsRobert P. J. Day
Run this: #!/bin/sh for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do echo "De-casting $f..." perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f done And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers to non-pointers. And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

2006-04-29[PATCH] nvram_print_partitions cosmetic fixupWill Schmidt
This is a cosmetic fixup. When printing the nvram partition table, the first couple entries have a shorter 'index' value than the others, so table is a bit askew. This change makes the table look pretty. Tested on pseries and g5. Footnote: yes, this table is normally hidden behind a DEBUG_NVRAM #define.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: fix large nvram accessArnd Bergmann
/dev/nvram uses the user-provided read/write size for kmalloc, which fails, if a large number is passed. This will always use a single page at most, which can be expected to succeed. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-18powerpc: Move remaining .c files from arch/ppc64 to arch/powerpcPaul Mackerras
This also deletes the now-unused Makefiles under arch/ppc64. Both of the files moved over could use some merging, but for now I have moved them as-is and arranged for them to be used only in 64-bit kernels. For 32-bit kernels we still use arch/ppc/kernel/idle.c and drivers/char/generic_nvram.c as before. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
