SPARC64 and 32: Several problems with 2.6.0-test5 and test6

[Georg Chini]

Hello,

I did some testing with test5 and test6 kernels on
my Sparc Ultra1 and Sparcstation 5. Here is a summary
of the problems I observed. Maybe this helps to fix
things.

1) Keyboard:
   On both architectures the Sun type 5 keyboard
   (and mouse) will not be found.

2) Console:
   On both architectures only PROM-console will work. The
   system will not switch to serial (Ultra1) or TCX (SS5)
   console.
   Sending break gives no ok-prompt.

3) Netfilter on sparc64:
   Any iptables command except iptables -L crashes my
   system without further messages. I am already in contact with
   Harald Welte about this (see netfilter-devel list).

4) Compile on sparc32
   The function sched_clock is missing in time.c.
   There is a posting by Andrew Morton on this list
   which defines the function. The kernel compiles
   and boots with this patch.
   When compiling modules I get following unresolved
   symbols in various modules in stage 2:

  .div
  .rem
  .udiv
  .umul
  .urem
  ___atomic_add
  ___atomic_sub
  ___clear_bit
  ___set_bit
  prom_apply_generic_ranges
  prom_halt
  prom_printf
  sparc_flush_page_to_ram
  sun_do_break

   I think I could fix this myself if anyone can tell me where
   to find an example.

   Regards
           Georg Chini
