powerpc: Add smp_mb()s to arch_spin_unlock_wait()

2014-08-13T05:13:27+00:00

Similar to the previous commit which described why we need to add a
barrier to arch_spin_is_locked(), we have a similar problem with
spin_unlock_wait().

We need a barrier on entry to ensure any spinlock we have previously
taken is visibly locked prior to the load of lock->slock.

It's also not clear if spin_unlock_wait() is intended to have ACQUIRE
semantics. For now be conservative and add a barrier on exit to give it
ACQUIRE semantics.

powerpc: Remove power3 from comments

There are still a few occurences where it remains, because it helps to
explain something that persists.

powerpc: use _GLOBAL_TOC for memmove

2014-07-22T05:56:04+00:00

memmove may be called from module code copy_pages(btrfs), and it may
call memcpy, which may call back to C code, so it needs to use
_GLOBAL_TOC to set up r2 correctly.

This fixes following error when I tried to boot an le guest:

powerpc: Fix bugs in emulate_step()

2014-07-22T05:55:51+00:00

This fixes some bugs in emulate_step().  First, the setting of the carry
bit for the arithmetic right-shift instructions was not correct on 64-bit
machines because we were masking with a mask of type int rather than
unsigned long.  Secondly, the sld (shift left doubleword) instruction was
using the wrong instruction field for the register containing the shift
count.

powerpc: Exported functions __clear_user and copy_page use r2 so need _GLOBAL_TOC()

2014-06-05T03:20:41+00:00

__clear_user and copy_page load from the TOC and are also exported
to modules. This means we have to use _GLOBAL_TOC() so that we
create the global entry point that sets up the TOC.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'anton/abiv2' into next

2014-05-05T10:57:12+00:00

This series adds support for building the powerpc 64-bit
LE kernel using the new ABI v2. We already supported
running ABI v2 userspace programs but this adds support
for building the kernel itself using the new ABI.

powerpc: memcpy optimization for 64bit LE

2014-04-30T05:26:18+00:00

Unaligned stores take alignment exceptions on POWER7 running in little-endian.
This is a dumb little-endian base memcpy that prevents unaligned stores.
Once booted the feature fixup code switches over to the VMX copy loops
(which are already endian safe).

The question is what we do before that switch over. The base 64bit
memcpy takes alignment exceptions on POWER7 so we can't use it as is.
Fixing the causes of alignment exception would slow it down, because
we'd need to ensure all loads and stores are aligned either through
rotate tricks or bytewise loads and stores. Either would be bad for
all other 64bit platforms.

powerpc: Add _GLOBAL_TOC for ABIv2 assembly functions exported to modules

2014-04-23T00:05:32+00:00

If an assembly function that calls back into c code is exported to
modules, we need to ensure r2 is setup correctly. There are only
two places crazy enough to do it (two of which are my fault).

powerpc: Fix unsafe accesses to parameter area in ELFv2

2014-04-23T00:05:24+00:00

Some of the assembler files in lib/ make use of the fact that in the
ELFv1 ABI, the caller guarantees to provide stack space to save the
parameter registers r3 ... r10.  This guarantee is no longer present
in ELFv2 for functions that have no variable argument list and no
more than 8 arguments.

Change the affected routines to temporarily store registers in the
red zone and/or the top of their own stack frame (in the space
provided to save r31 .. r29, which is actually not used in these
routines).

In opal_query_takeover, simply always allocate a stack frame;
the routine is not performance critical.
