linux.git/arch/powerpc/kernel/tm.S, branch v3.10 Linux kernel source tree powerpc: fix compiling CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM when CONFIG_ALTIVEC=n 2013-04-09T22:14:39+00:00 Michael Neuling mikey@neuling.org 2013-04-09T06:18:55+00:00 f110c0c1926028a233830c6166e4d40314420823 We can't compile a kernel with CONFIG_ALTIVEC=n when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=y. We currently get: arch/powerpc/kernel/tm.S:320: Error: unsupported relocation against THREAD_VSCR arch/powerpc/kernel/tm.S:323: Error: unsupported relocation against THREAD_VR0 arch/powerpc/kernel/tm.S:323: Error: unsupported relocation against THREAD_VR0 etc. The below fixes this with a sprinkling of #ifdefs.

powerpc: Add helper functions for transactional memory context switching 2013-02-15T05:58:52+00:00 Michael Neuling mikey@neuling.org 2013-02-13T16:21:35+00:00 98ae22e15b430bfed5def01ac1a88ec9396284c8 Here we add the helper functions to be used when context switching. These allow us to fully reclaim and recheckpoint a transaction. We introduce a new paca field called tm_scratch to help us store away register values when doing the low level tm reclaim register save.
