powerpc: enable UBSAN support

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

This hooks up UBSAN support for PowerPC.

So far it's found some interesting cases where we don't properly sanitise
input to shifts, including one in our futex handling.  Nothing critical,
but interesting and worth fixing.

powerpc/ftrace: add powerpc timebase as a trace clock source

2015-08-06T06:36:23+00:00

Add a new powerpc-specific trace clock using the timebase register,
similar to x86-tsc. This gives us
- a fast, monotonic, hardware clock source for trace entries, and
- a clock that can be used to correlate events across cpus as well as across
  hypervisor and guests.

With the libfdt include fixups to use "" instead of <> in the
latest dtc import in commit 4760597 (scripts/dtc: Update to upstream
version 9d3649bd3be245c9), it is no longer necessary to add explicit
include paths to use libfdt. Remove these across the kernel.

powerpc/vdso: Disable building the 32-bit VDSO on little endian

2015-05-11T10:01:02+00:00

The only little endian configuration we support is ppc64le. As such if
we're building little endian we don't need a 32-bit VDSO, because there
is no 32-bit userspace.

This patch is a fairly ugly mess of #ifdefs, but is the minimal logic
required to disable the 32-bit VDSO. We can hopefully clean up the
result in future with some further refactoring.

powerpc: kill PPC_OF

2015-03-17T09:04:32+00:00

We have set CONFIG_PPC_OF to always 'y' in commit 0a498d96a332
("powerpc: set CONFIG_PPC_OF=y always for ARCH=powerpc") nine years
ago. And the arch/ppc also has gone away for many years. The OF
functionality was also moved to a common place and be used by many
archs. So it does make no sense to keep such a option in the current
kernel. Just kill it.

powerpc: Remove platforms/wsp and associated pieces

2014-06-11T06:35:38+00:00

__attribute__ ((unused))

WSP is the last user of CONFIG_PPC_A2, so we remove that as well.

Although CONFIG_PPC_ICSWX still exists, it's no longer selectable for
any Book3E platform, so we can remove the code in mmu-book3e.h that
depended on it.

powerpc: use libfdt accessors for header data

2014-04-30T05:59:18+00:00

With libfdt support, we can take advantage of helper accessors in libfdt
for accessing the FDT header data. This makes the code more readable and
makes the FDT blob structure more opaque to the kernel. This also
prepares for removing struct boot_param_header completely.

clk: mpc5xxx: switch to COMMON_CLK, retire PPC_CLOCK

2014-01-12T17:53:04+00:00

the setup before the change was
- arch/powerpc/Kconfig had the PPC_CLOCK option, off by default
- depending on the PPC_CLOCK option the arch/powerpc/kernel/clock.c file
  was built, which implements the clk.h API but always returns -ENOSYS
  unless a platform registers specific callbacks
- the MPC52xx platform selected PPC_CLOCK but did not register any
  callbacks, thus all clk.h API calls keep resulting in -ENOSYS errors
  (which is OK, all peripheral drivers deal with the situation)
- the MPC512x platform selected PPC_CLOCK and registered specific
  callbacks implemented in arch/powerpc/platforms/512x/clock.c, thus
  provided real support for the clock API
- no other powerpc platform did select PPC_CLOCK

the situation after the change is
- the MPC512x platform implements the COMMON_CLK interface, and thus the
  PPC_CLOCK approach in arch/powerpc/platforms/512x/clock.c has become
  obsolete
- the MPC52xx platform still lacks genuine support for the clk.h API
  while this is not a change against the previous situation (the error
  code returned from COMMON_CLK stubs differs but every call still
  results in an error)
- with all references gone, the arch/powerpc/kernel/clock.c wrapper and
  the PPC_CLOCK option have become obsolete, as did the clk_interface.h
  header file

the switch from PPC_CLOCK to COMMON_CLK is done for all platforms within
the same commit such that multiplatform kernels (the combination of 512x
and 52xx within one executable) keep working
