VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDERESS is the maximum KVA address. 0xf8000000 is the start of
device mapping space. Since several conditional checks use '<=' against
VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS, bad things could feasibly happen.
On powerpc64, pointers are 64 bits, so casting from uint32_t changes the integer
width.
The alternative was to use register_t, but I didn't see register_t used as
argument type for any other functions, though didn't look too closely. u_long
was an acceptable alternative. On 64-bit it's 64 bits, on 32-bit it's 32 bits.
powerpc_init() initializes the mmu. Since this may clear pages via
pmap_zero_page(), set the cacheline size before calling into it, so
pmap_zero_page() has the right cacheline size. This isn't completely
necessary now, but will be when 64-bit book-e is completed.
For rs6000, most memory insns and addi/addis do not allow GPR0 for RA
(they use literal zero there instead). So use a 'b' constraint to make
sure to have a base register other than GPR0.
GCC-4.7 and up handles this with allocating r9 instead of r0.
providing compiled-in static environment data that is used instead of any
data passed in from a boot loader.
Previously 'env' worked only on i386 and arm xscale systems, because it
required the MD startup code to examine the global envmode variable and
decide whether to use static_env or an environment obtained from the boot
loader, and set the global kern_envp accordingly. Most startup code wasn't
doing so. Making things even more complex, some mips startup code uses an
alternate scheme that involves calling init_static_kenv() to pass an empty
buffer and its size, then uses a series of kern_setenv() calls to populate
that buffer.
Now all MD startup code calls init_static_kenv(), and that routine provides
a single point where envmode is checked and the decision is made whether to
use the compiled-in static_kenv or the values provided by the MD code.
The routine also continues to serve its original purpose for mips; if a
non-zero buffer size is passed the routine installs the empty buffer ready
to accept kern_setenv() values. Now if the size is zero, the provided buffer
full of existing env data is installed. A NULL pointer can be passed if the
boot loader provides no env data; this allows the static env to be installed
if envmode is set to do so.
Most of the work here is a near-mechanical change to call the init function
instead of directly setting kern_envp. A notable exception is in xen/pv.c;
that code was originally installing a buffer full of preformatted env data
along with its non-zero size (like mips code does), which would have allowed
kern_setenv() calls to wipe out the preformatted data. Now it passes a zero
for the size so that the buffer of data it installs is treated as
non-writeable.
LBC block size can only be up to 4GB. The existing code already clamps it, but
mixes unsigned long and uint32_t. This works on 32-bit targets, but not 64-bit,
so isn't completely correct. This fixes the type confusion.
Newer Book-E cores (e500mc, e5500, e6500) do not support the WE bit in the MSR,

into a new function that other platforms can share.
This creates a new ofw_reg_to_paddr() function (in a new ofw_subr.c file)
that contains most of the existing ppc implementation, mostly unchanged.
The ppc code now calls the new MI code from the MD code, then creates a
ppc-specific bus_space mapping from the results. The new arm implementation
does the same in an arm-specific way.
This also moves the declaration of OF_decode_addr() from ofw_machdep.h to
openfirm.h, except on sparc64 which uses a different function signature.
This will help all FDT platforms to set up early console access using

On the mpc85xx SoC family, writes to any part of a word in the CCSR affect the
full word. This prevents single-byte writes from taking the desired effect.
Code copied directly from ARM.
This will enable the elimination of a workaround in the USB driver that
artifically allocates buffers twice as big as they need to be (which
actually saves memory for very small buffers on the buggy platforms).
When deciding how to allocate a dma buffer, armv4, armv6, mips, and
x86/iommu all correctly check for the tag alignment <= maxsize as enabling
simple uma/malloc based allocation. Powerpc, sparc64, x86/bounce, and
arm64/bounce were all checking for alignment < maxsize; on those platforms
when alignment was equal to the max size it would fall back to page-based
allocators even for very small buffers.
This change makes all platforms use the <= check. It should be noted that
on all platforms other than arm[v6] and mips, this check is relying on
undocumented behavior in malloc(9) that if you allocate a block of a given
size it will be aligned to the next larger power-of-2 boundary. There is
nothing in the malloc(9) man page that makes that explicit promise (but the
busdma code has been relying on this behavior all along so I guess it works).
Arm and mips code uses the allocator in kern/subr_busdma_buffalloc.c, which
does explicitly implement this promise about size and alignment. Other
platforms probably should switch to the aligned allocator.
Make it clearer what each one means in the comments that define them.
IIC_BUSBSY was used in many places to mean two different things, either
"someone else has reserved the bus so you have to wait until they're done"
or "the signal level on the bus was not in the state I expected before/after
issuing some command".
Now IIC_BUSERR is used consistantly to refer to protocol/signaling errors,
and IIC_BUSBSY refers to ownership/reservation of the bus.
linkers no longer raise an error when undefined weak symbols are
found, but relocate as if the symbol value was 0. Note that we do not
repeat the mistake of userspace dynamic linker of making the symbol
lookup prefer non-weak symbol definition over the weak one, if both
are available. In fact, kernel linker uses the first definition
found, and ignores duplicates.
Signature of the elf_lookup() and elf_obj_lookup() functions changed
to split result/error code and the symbol address returned.
Otherwise, it is impossible to return zero address as the symbol
value, to MD relocation code. This explains the mechanical changes in
elf_machdep.c sources.
The powerpc64 R_PPC_JMP_SLOT handler did not checked error from the
lookup() call, the patch leaves the code as is (untested).
