exit_thread: remove empty bodies

2016-05-21T00:58:30+00:00

Define HAVE_EXIT_THREAD for archs which want to do something in
exit_thread. For others, let's define exit_thread as an empty inline.

This is a cleanup before we change the prototype of exit_thread to
accept a task parameter.

powerpc/mm/radix: Use STD_MMU_64 to properly isolate hash related code

2016-05-11T11:53:45+00:00

We also use MMU_FTR_RADIX to branch out from code path specific to
hash.

No functionality change.

Merge branch 'topic/livepatch' into next

2016-04-18T10:45:32+00:00

Merge the support for live patching on ppc64le using mprofile-kernel.
This branch has also been merged into the livepatching tree for v4.7.

powerpc/livepatch: Add livepatch stack to struct thread_info

2016-04-14T05:47:06+00:00

In order to support live patching we need to maintain an alternate
stack of TOC & LR values. We use the base of the stack for this, and
store the "live patch stack pointer" in struct thread_info.

Unlike the other fields of thread_info, we can not statically initialise
that value, so it must be done at run time.

This patch just adds the code to support that, it is not enabled until
the next patch which actually adds live patch support.

powerpc: sparse: Include headers for __weak symbols

2016-04-12T11:05:19+00:00

Sometimes when sparse warns about undefined symbols, it isn't
because they should have 'static' added, it's because they're
overriding __weak symbols defined elsewhere, and the header has
been missed.

Fix a few of them by adding appropriate headers.

powerpc/process: Fix altivec SPR not being saved

2016-03-29T01:08:08+00:00

In save_sprs() in process.c contains the following test:

	if (cpu_has_feature(cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC)))
		t->vrsave = mfspr(SPRN_VRSAVE);

CPU feature with the mask 0x1 is CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE so the test
is equivilent to:

	if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC) &&
		cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE))

On CPUs without support for both (i.e G5) this results in vrsave not
being saved between context switches. The vector register save/restore
code doesn't use VRSAVE to determine which registers to save/restore,
but the value of VRSAVE is used to determine if altivec is being used
in several code paths.

powerpc: Add the ability to save VSX without giving it up

2016-03-02T12:34:50+00:00

This patch adds the ability to be able to save the VSX registers to the
thread struct without giving up (disabling the facility) next time the
process returns to userspace.

This patch builds on a previous optimisation for the FPU and VEC registers
in the thread copy path to avoid a possibly pointless reload of VSX state.

This patch adds the ability to be able to save the FPU registers to the
thread struct without giving up (disabling the facility) next time the
process returns to userspace.

This patch optimises the thread copy path (as a result of a fork() or
clone()) so that the parent thread can return to userspace with hot
registers avoiding a possibly pointless reload of FPU register state.
