dtc: Cleanup \nnn and \xNN string escape handling

Several small cleanups to the handling of octal and hex string escapes: - Use strncmp() instead dof what were essentially open-coded versions of the same, with short fixed lengths. - The call path to get_oct_char() means an empty escape is not possible. So repla

[PATCH 2.6.26] Update wait_state_cycles in the VPA.

The hypervisor can look at the value in wait_state_cycles for an estimate of how busy dedicated processors are. Currently as the kernel never touches this field so we appear to be 100% busy. Record the duration the kernel is in powersave and pass that to the HV to provide a reasonable indication

[PATCH] Fix PMU + soft interrupt disable bug

Since the PMU is an NMI now, it can come at any time we are only soft disabled. We must hard disable around the two places we allow the kernel stack SLB and r1 to go out of sync. Otherwise the PMU exception can force a kernel stack SLB into another slot. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <[EMAIL PRO

simple MPC5200B system

All, I'm quite stuck in getting our MPC5200B based systems work on 2.6.24+ ... maybe someone could give me some hints. Up to now the systems have been running on 2.6.19 without any problems. This is what I've done so far : - get a recent system with 2.6.19 running and keep the toolchain (gcc
