linux.git/arch/ppc64/kernel/LparData.c, branch v2.6.13 Linux kernel source tree [PATCH] iSeries build with newer assemblers and compilers 2005-08-17T04:06:25+00:00 Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au 2005-08-17T03:01:50+00:00 2ad56496627630ebc99f06af5f81ca23e17e014e Paulus suggested that we put xLparMap in its own .c file so that we can generate a .s file to be included into head.S. This doesn't get around the problem of having it at a fixed address, but it makes it more palatable. It would be good if this could be included in 2.6.13 as it solves our build problems with various versions of binutils and gcc. In particular, it allows us to build an iSeries kernel on Debian unstable using their biarch compiler. This has been built and booted on iSeries and built for pSeries and g5.

[PATCH] ppc64: remove another fixed address constraint 2005-07-27T23:25:58+00:00 David Gibson david@gibson.dropbear.id.au 2005-07-27T18:44:21+00:00 488f84994c55927eef587a0827dc957c908a0bad Presently the LparMap, one of the structures the kernel shares with the legacy iSeries hypervisor has a fixed offset address in head.S. This patch changes this so the LparMap is a normally initialized structure, without fixed address. This allows us to use macros to compute some of the values in the structure, which wasn't previously possible because the assembler always uses signed-% which gets the wrong answers for the computations in question. Unfortunately, a gcc bug means that doing this requires another structure (hvReleaseData) to be initialized in asm instead of C, but on the whole the result is cleaner than before.

I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
