arch/powerpc/kernel: Use %12.12s instead of %12s to avoid memory overflow

2013-11-25T00:50:57+00:00

for tmp_part->header.name:
    it is "Terminating null required only for names < 12 chars".
    so need to limit the %.12s for it in printk

  additional info:

    %12s  limit the width, not for the original string output length
          if name length is more than 12, it still can be fully displayed.
          if name length is less than 12, the ' ' will be filled before name.

    %.12s truly limit the original string output length (precision)

powerpc/signals: Improved mark VSX not saved with small contexts fix

2013-11-25T00:50:51+00:00

In a recent patch:
  commit c13f20ac48328b05cd3b8c19e31ed6c132b44b42
  Author: Michael Neuling 
  powerpc/signals: Mark VSX not saved with small contexts

We fixed an issue but an improved solution was later discussed after the patch
was merged.

Firstly, this patch doesn't handle the 64bit signals case, which could also hit
this issue (but has never been reported).

Secondly, the original patch isn't clear what MSR VSX should be set to.  The
new approach below always clears the MSR VSX bit (to indicate no VSX is in the
context) and sets it only in the specific case where VSX is available (ie. when
VSX has been used and the signal context passed has space to provide the
state).

This reverts the original patch and replaces it with the improved solution.  It
also adds a 64 bit version.

powerpc/kdump: Adding symbols in vmcoreinfo to facilitate dump filtering

2013-11-25T00:50:12+00:00

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP option is used in kernel, makedumpfile fails
to filter vmcore dump as it fails to do vmemmap translations. So far
dump filtering on ppc64 never had to deal with vmemmap addresses seperately
as vmemmap regions where mapped in zone normal. But with the inclusion of
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP config option in kernel, this vmemmap address
translation support becomes necessary for dump filtering. For vmemmap adress
translation, few kernel symbols are needed by dump filtering tool. This patch
adds those symbols to vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for
filtering the kernel dump. Tested this changes successfully with makedumpfile
tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside zone normal.

[ Removed unneeded #ifdef as suggested by Michael Ellerman --BenH ]

powerpc: allyesconfig should not select CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN

2013-11-25T00:49:12+00:00

Stephen reported a failure in an allyesconfig build.
CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y gets set but his toolchain is not
new enough to support little endian. We really want to
default to a big endian build; Ben suggested using a choice
which defaults to CPU_BIG_ENDIAN.

powerpc: Fix error when cross building TAGS & cscope

2013-11-25T00:49:11+00:00

Currently if I cross build TAGS or cscope from x86 I get this:
  % make ARCH=powerpc TAGS
  gcc-4.8.real: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mbig-endian’
  GEN     TAGS
  %

I'm not setting CROSS_COMPILE= as logically I shouldn't need to and I
haven't needed to in the past when building TAGS or cscope.  Also, the
above completess correct as the error is not fatal to the build.

This was caused by:
    commit d72b08017161ab385d4ae080ea415c9eb7ceef83
    Author: Ian Munsie 
    powerpc: Add ability to build little endian kernels

The below fixes this by testing for the -mbig-endian option before
adding it.

I've not done the same thing in the little endian case as if
-mlittle-endian doesn't exist, we probably want to fail quickly as you
probably have an old big endian compiler.

powerpc/booke: Only check for hugetlb in flush if vma != NULL

2013-11-22T22:57:29+00:00

And in flush_hugetlb_page(), don't check whether vma is NULL after
we've already dereferenced it.

This was found by Dan using static analysis as described here:
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2013-November/113161.html

We currently get away with this because the callers that currently pass
NULL for vma seem to be 32-bit-only (e.g. highmem, and
CONFIG_DEBUG_PGALLOC in pgtable_32.c)  Hugetlb is currently 64-bit only,
so we never saw a NULL vma here.

powerpc/85xx: typo in dts: "interupt" (four devices)

2013-11-22T22:57:25+00:00

These lines were inoperative for four years, which puts some doubt into
their importance, and it's possible the fixed version will regress, but
at the very least they should be removed instead.

powerpc/8xx: mfspr SPRN_TBRx in lieu of mftb/mftbu is not supported

2013-11-22T22:56:48+00:00

Commit beb2dc0a7a84be003ce54e98b95d65cc66e6e536 breaks the MPC8xx which
seems to not support using mfspr SPRN_TBRx instead of mftb/mftbu
despite what is written in the reference manual.

This patch reverts to the use of mftb/mftbu when CONFIG_8xx is
selected.

powerpc/corenet64: compile with CONFIG_E{5,6}500_CPU well

2013-11-22T22:56:33+00:00

If CONFIG_ALTIVEC is enabled for CoreNet64, and if we also
select CONFIG_E{5,6}500_CPU this may introduce -mcpu=e500mc64
into $CFLAGS. But Altivec option not allowed with e500mc64,
then some compiling errors occur like this:

      CC      arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o
    arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.c:1:0: error: AltiVec not supported in this target
    make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o] Error 1
    make: *** [arch/powerpc/lib] Error 2

So we should restrict e500mc64 in altivec scenario.
