powerpc: Avoid load of static chain register when calling nested functions through a pointer on 64bit

2013-01-10T06:01:27+00:00

The ppc64 ABI has a static chain register (r11) which is only used
when calling nested functions through a pointer. Considering that
we take a dim view of nested functions in the kernel, we have a lot
of unnecessary overhead here.

gcc 4.7 has an option to disable loading of r11 so lets use it.

If hell freezes over and hipsters manage to litter the kernel
with nested functions, gcc will give us an error message and
won't simply compile bad code:

    You cannot take the address of a nested function if you use
    the -mno-pointers-to-nested-functions option.

Furthermore our kernel module trampolines don't setup the static
chain register so adding this option and forcing gcc to error out
makes even more sense.

powerpc: Build kernel with -mcmodel=medium

2013-01-10T06:00:31+00:00

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.

Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:

# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.

On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

powerpc: Relocate prom_init.c on 64bit

2013-01-10T06:00:25+00:00

The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means
our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do
this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of
variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a
RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it.

32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c
with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually.
Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would
have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a
large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data).
The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates
more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot.

Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even
if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC.
This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of
prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to
process which helps keep boot times on simulators down.

gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be
safe we may want a build time script which passes through the
prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

powerpc: Add a powerpc implementation of SHA-1

2013-01-10T03:43:45+00:00

This patch adds a crypto driver which provides a powerpc accelerated
implementation of SHA-1, accelerated in that it is written in asm.

Original patch by Paul, minor fixups for upstream by moi.

Lightly tested on 64-bit with the test program here:

 http://michael.ellerman.id.au/files/junkcode/sha1test.c

Seems to work, and is "not slower" than the generic version.

Needs testing on 32-bit.

crypto: nx - move nx build to driver/crypto Makefile

2012-06-27T06:42:00+00:00

When the nx driver was pulled, the Makefile that actually
builds it is arch/powerpc/Makefile. This is unnatural.

This patch moves the line that builds the nx driver from
arch/powerpc/Makefile to drivers/crypto/Makefile where it
belongs.

Add a menu to select various 64-bit CPU targets for gcc. We
default to -mtune=power7 and if gcc doesn't understand that we
fallback to -mtune=power4.

powerpc: Require gcc 4.0 on 64-bit

2012-04-30T05:37:26+00:00

Older versions of gcc had issues with using -maltivec together with
-mcpu of a non altivec capable CPU. We work around it by specifying
-mcpu=970, but the logic is complicated.

In preparation for adding more -mcpu targets, remove the workaround
and just require gcc 4.0 for 64-bit builds.
