2010-11-30sparc: Write to prom console using indirect buffer.David S. Miller
sparc64 systems have a restriction in that passing in buffer addressses above 4GB to prom calls is not reliable. We end up violating this when we do prom console writes, because we use an on-stack buffer to translate '\n' into '\r\n'. So instead, do this translation into an intermediate buffer, which is in the kernel image and thus below 4GB, then pass that to the PROM console write calls. On the 32-bit side we don't have to deal with any of these issues, so the new prom_console_write_buf() uses the existing prom_nbputchar() implementation. However we can now mark those routines static. Since the 64-bit side completely uses new code we can delete the putchar bits as they are now completely unused. Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-11-30sparc: Pass buffer pointer all the way down to prom_{get,put}char().David S. Miller
This gets us closer to being able to eliminate the use of dynamic and stack based buffers, so that we can adhere to the "no buffer addresses above 4GB" rule for PROM calls. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-09-04sparc64: Fix bootup with mcount in some configs.David S. Miller
Functions invoked early when booting up a cpu can't use tracing because mcount requires a valid 'current_thread_info()' and TLB mappings to be setup. The code path of sun4v_register_mondo_queues --> register_one_mondo is one such case. sun4v_register_mondo_queues already has the necessary 'notrace' annotation, but register_one_mondo does not. Normally register_one_mondo is inlined so the bug doesn't trigger, but with some config/compiler combinations, it won't be so we must properly mark it notrace. While we're here, add 'notrace' annoations to prom_printf and prom_halt so that early error handling won't have the same problem.

2008-12-08sparc: Use sparc64 version of prom/printf.cRobert Reif
Use sparc64 version of prom/printf.c. The only differences for sparc32 is that prom_printf is no longer exported for modules which should be OK. Signed-off-by: Robert Reif <reif@earthlink.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-12-04sparc: prepare prom/ for unificationSam Ravnborg
- rename files where sparc64 uses identical names to *_32.c - refactor Makefile (but keep linking order) Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
