2013-03-11T12:06:27+00:00

The following patch adds support for correctly
recognizing SPARC-X chips.

cpu : Unknown SUN4V CPU
fpu : Unknown SUN4V FPU
pmu : Unknown SUN4V PMU

sparc32: handle leon in cpu.c

A few hardcoded constant were replaced by symbolic
versions to improve readability

sparc: move symbol exporters to use export.h not module.h

2011-10-31T23:30:53+00:00

Many of the core sparc kernel files are not modules, but just
including module.h for exporting symbols.  Now these files can
use the lighter footprint export.h for this role.

sparc64: Future proof Niagara cpu detection.

2011-09-16T21:21:33+00:00

Recognize T4 and T5 chips.  Treating them both as "T2 plus other
stuff" should be extremely safe and make sure distributions will work
when those chips actually ship to customers.

sparc: Sanitize cpu feature detection and reporting.

2011-07-29T06:31:26+00:00

Instead of evaluating the cpu features for ELF_HWCAP every exec,
calculate it once at boot time.

Add AV_SPARC_* capability flag bits, compatible with what Solaris
reports to applications.

Report these capabilities once in the kernel log, and also via
/proc/cpuinfo in a new "cpucaps" entry.

If available, fetch the cpu features from the machine description
'hwcap-list' property of the 'cpu' node.

sparc: Detect and handle UltraSPARC-T3 cpu types.

2011-07-28T05:10:10+00:00

The cpu compatible string we look for is "SPARC-T3".

As far as memset/memcpy optimizations go, we treat this chip the same
as Niagara-T2/T2+.  Use cache initializing stores for memset, and use
perfetch, FPU block loads, cache initializing stores, and block stores
for copies.

We use the Niagara-T2 perf support, since T3 is a close relative in
this regard.  Later we'll add support for the new events T3 can
report, plus enable T3's new "sample" mode.

For now I haven't added any new ELF hwcap flags.  We probably need
to add a couple, for example:

T2 and T3 both support the population count instruction in hardware.

T3 supports VIS3 instructions, including support (finally) for
partitioned shift.  One can also now move directly between float
and integer registers.

T3 supports instructions meant to help with Galois Field and other HPC
calculations, such as XOR multiply.  Also there are "OP and negate"
instructions, for example "fnmul" which is multiply-and-negate.

T3 recognizes the transactional memory opcodes, however since
transactional memory isn't supported: 1) 'commit' behaves as a NOP and
2) 'chkpt' always branches 3) 'rdcps' returns all zeros and 4) 'wrcps'
behaves as a NOP.

So we'll need about 3 new elf capability flags in the end to represent
all of these things.

sparc: Don't leave sparc_pmu_type NULL on sun4v.

2011-07-28T03:25:57+00:00

Otherwise we'll crash in the sparc perf init code.

sparc32: probe for cpu info only during startup

2011-04-21T22:46:21+00:00

We did a cpu_probe() call each time a CPU got online - which
only effect was to save latest CPU/FPU info for use by show_cpuinfo().
Use same setup as for sparc64 where we probe for this info during startup,
and only once.

This allowed us to annotate a few functions __init which again
fixed the following section mismatch warnings:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x65f0): Section mismatch in reference from the function set_cpu_and_fpu() to the (unknown reference) .init.rodata:(unknown)
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x65f8): Section mismatch in reference from the function set_cpu_and_fpu() to the (unknown reference) .init.rodata:(unknown)
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x664c): Section mismatch in reference from the function set_cpu_and_fpu() to the variable .init.rodata:manufacturer_info

sparc: consolidate show_cpuinfo in cpu.c

2011-04-21T22:45:45+00:00

We have all the cpu related info in cpu.c - so move
the remaining functions to support /proc/cpuinfo to this file.
