[POWERPC] Ensure FULL_REGS on exec

2007-09-25T10:40:41+00:00

When PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC is used, a ptrace call to fetch the registers at
the PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC stop (PTRACE_PEEKUSR) will oops in CHECK_FULL_REGS.
With recent versions, "gdb --args /bin/sh -c 'exec /bin/true'" and "run" at
the (gdb) prompt is sufficient to produce this.  I also have written an
isolated test case, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=301791#c15.

This change fixes the problem by clearing the low bit of pt_regs.trap in
start_thread so that FULL_REGS is true again.  This is correct since all of
the GPRs that "full" refers to are cleared in start_thread.

[POWERPC] Fix timekeeping on PowerPC 601

2007-09-19T05:26:34+00:00

Recent changes to the timekeeping code broke support for the PowerPC 601
processor which doesn't have the usual timebase facility but a slightly
different thing called (yuck) the RTC.

This fixes it, boot tested on an old 601 based PowerMac 7200.

[POWERPC] Don't expose clock vDSO functions when CPU has no timebase

2007-09-19T05:26:34+00:00

We forgot to remove the clock_gettime, clock_getres and get_tbfreq vDSO
calls on CPUs that have no timebase such as 601 or 403 (old CPUs that have
different mechanisms and for which the vDSO code will not work properly).
This fixes it.

[POWERPC] Move serial_dev_init to device_initcall()

2007-09-12T18:09:14+00:00

With the I/O space rewrite by BenH, the legacy_serial serial_dev_init()
initcall is now called before I/O space is setup, but it's dependent on
it being available.

Since there's no way to make dependencies between initcalls, we'll just
have to move it to device_initcall(). Yes, it's suboptimal but I'm not
aware of any better solution at this time, and it fixes a regression
from 2.6.22.

[POWERPC] ibmebus: Prevent bus_id collisions

2007-09-10T18:30:37+00:00

Previously, ibmebus derived a device's bus_id from its location code.
The location code is not guaranteed to be unique, so we might get bus_id
collisions if two devices share the same location code.  The OFDT
full_name, however, is unique, so we use that instead (truncating it
on the left if it is too long).

[POWERPC] Flush registers to proper task context

2007-08-29T02:15:53+00:00

When we flush register state for FP, Altivec, or SPE in flush_*_to_thread
we need to respect the task_struct that the caller has passed to us.

Most cases we are called with current, however sometimes (ptrace) we may
be passed a different task_struct.

This showed up when using gdbserver debugging a simple program that used
floating point. When gdb tried to show the FP regs they all showed up as
0, because the child's FP registers were never properly flushed to memory.

[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.

[POWERPC] Fix for assembler -g

2007-08-15T05:12:50+00:00

ppc64 does the unusual thing of using #include on a compiler-generated
assembly file (lparmap.s) from an assembly source file (head_64.S).
This runs afoul of my recent patch to pass -gdwarf2 to the assembler
under CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO.  This patch avoids the problem by disabling
DWARF generation (-g0) when producing lparmap.s.
