powerpc: Move local setup.h declarations to arch includes

2013-10-30T05:00:31+00:00

Move the few declarations from arch/powerpc/kernel/setup.h
into arch/powerpc/include/asm/setup.h.  This resolves a
sparse warning for arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c which defines
do_init_bootmem() but can't include the setup.h header
in the prior path.

Resolves:
arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:998:13:
        warning: symbol 'do_init_bootmem' was not declared.
                 Should it be static?

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)

modules: make arch's use default loader hooks

2011-07-24T12:36:04+00:00

This patch removes all the module loader hook implementations in the
architecture specific code where the functionality is the same as that
now provided by the recently added default hooks.

powerpc: Unify opcode definitions and support

2009-02-22T23:48:56+00:00

Create a new header that becomes a single location for defining PowerPC
opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions
at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just
compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about.

We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode
as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already
have.

Added support for the new dcbzl, dcbal, msgsnd, tlbilx, & wait instructions
since older assemblers don't know about them.

powerpc/ppc64: ftrace, handle module trampolines for dyn ftrace

2008-11-20T18:52:28+00:00

Impact: Allow 64 bit PowerPC to trace modules with dynamic ftrace

This adds code to handle the PPC64 module trampolines, and allows for
PPC64 to use dynamic ftrace.

Thanks to Paul Mackerras for these updates:

  - fix the mod and rec->arch.mod NULL checks.
  - fix to is_bl_op compare.

Thanks to Milton Miller for:

  - finding the nasty race with using two nops, and recommending
    instead that I use a branch 8 forward.

Fix compile failure with non modular builds

2008-09-17T16:14:42+00:00

Commit deac93df26b20cf8438339b5935b5f5643bc30c9 ("lib: Correct printk
%pF to work on all architectures") broke the non modular builds by
moving an essential function into modules.c.  Fix this by moving it
out again and into asm/sections.h as an inline.  To do this, the
definition of struct ppc64_opd_entry has been lifted out of modules.c
and put in asm/elf.h where it belongs.

lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures

2008-09-09T18:51:15+00:00

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2.  However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64.  For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides.  I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

powerpc: Add PPC_NOP_INSTR, a hash define for the preferred nop instruction

2008-07-01T01:28:23+00:00

A bunch of code has hard-coded the value for a "nop" instruction, it
would be nice to have a #define for it.
