All, This isn't really a Linux PPC question, but this is the smartest mailing list I know for asking PPC hardware questions, so here goes. We're using an MPC8308 and want to use the DMA engine to move data in and out of an FPGA hanging on the local bus. Our bandwidth/local bus burden calculat

[PATCH v8] powerpc: Force page alignment for initrd reserved memory

From: Dave Carroll When using 64K pages with a separate cpio rootfs, U-Boot will align the rootfs on a 4K page boundary. When the memory is reserved, and subsequent early memblock_alloc is called, it will allocate memory between the 64K page alignment and reserved memory. When the reserved memory

[PATCH] powerpc: Avoid extra indirect function call in sending IPIs

2011-05-26 Thread Paul Mackerras
On many platforms (including pSeries), smp_ops->message_pass is always smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass. This changes arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c so that if smp_ops->message_pass is NULL, it calls smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass directly. This means that a platform doesn't need to set both .message_pass and .
