[POWERPC] Fix compilation for CONFIG_DEBUGGER=n and CONFIG_KEXEC=y

2008-02-07T00:40:18+00:00

Looks like "[POWERPC] kdump shutdown hook support" broke builds when
CONFIG_DEBUGGER=n and CONFIG_KEXEC=y, such as in g5_defconfig:

arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c: In function 'default_machine_crash_shutdown':
arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c:388: error: '__debugger_fault_handler' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c:388: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c:388: error: for each function it appears in.)

Move the debugger hooks to under CONFIG_DEBUGGER || CONFIG_KEXEC, since
that's when the crash code is enabled.

(I should have caught this with my build-script pre-merge, my bad. :( )

[POWERPC] Reworking machine check handling and Fix 440/440A

2007-12-23T19:11:59+00:00

This adds a cputable function pointer for the CPU-side machine
check handling. The semantic is still the same as the old one,
the one in ppc_md. overrides the one in cputable, though
ultimately we'll want to change that so the CPU gets first.

This removes CONFIG_440A which was a problem for multiplatform
kernels and instead fixes up the IVOR at runtime from a setup_cpu
function. The "A" version of the machine check also tweaks the
regs->trap value to differenciate the 2 versions at the C level.

[POWERPC] Emulate isel (Integer Select) instruction

2007-12-11T19:57:16+00:00

isel (Integer Select) is a new user space instruction in the
PowerISA 2.04 spec.  Not all processors implement it so lets emulate
to ensure code built with isel will run everywhere.

Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)

2007-10-19T18:53:43+00:00

One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log.
There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes
so for arch/xxx files.

It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the
printks in arch code.

pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()

2007-10-19T18:53:37+00:00

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().

A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.

A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.

Changelog:

	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().

	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:

	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

[POWERPC] Implement logging of unhandled signals

2007-10-12T04:05:18+00:00

Implement show_unhandled_signals sysctl + support to print when a process
is killed due to unhandled signals just as i386 and x86_64 does.

Default to having it off, unlike x86 that defaults on.

[POWERPC] 8xx: Move softemu8xx.c from arch/ppc

2007-10-04T16:02:54+00:00

Previously, Soft_emulate_8xx was called with no implementation, resulting in
build failures whenever building 8xx without math emulation.  The
implementation is copied from arch/ppc to resolve this issue.

However, this sort of minimal emulation is not a very good idea other than
for compatibility with existing userspaces, as it's less efficient than
soft-float and can mislead users into believing they have soft-float.  Thus,
it is made a configurable option, off by default.

[POWERPC] Separate out legacy machine check exception parsers

2007-10-02T23:11:58+00:00

Move out the old-style exception parsers to a separate function, and
don't call it on platforms that have a platform-specific handler.

It would make sense to move out the generic versions into their platforms
instead, but that can be done gradually down the road.

[POWERPC] Remove unused platform_machine_check()

2007-09-13T15:33:22+00:00

Remove leftover cruft from ARCH=ppc.

There are no users of platform_machine_check() in ARCH=powerpc, and none
should be added (they should use ppc_md.machine_check_handler instead).

[POWERPC] Fix FSL BookE machine check reporting

2007-08-17T18:22:28+00:00

Reserved MCSR bits on FSL BookE parts may have spurious values
when mcheck occurs.  Mask these off when printing the MCSR to
avoid confusion.  Also, get rid of the MCSR_GL_CI bit defined
for e500 - this bit doesn't actually have any meaning.
