[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel

2005-11-11T11:25:39+00:00

This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.

Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.

I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

[PATCH] fix remaining missing includes

2005-11-07T15:53:41+00:00

Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous
fix-missing-includes.patch.  This should now allow not to include sched.h
from module.h, which is done by a followup patch.

powerpc: Fix random memory corruption in merged elf.h

2005-11-04T01:10:51+00:00

The merged verison of ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS is basically the PPC64 version, with
a memset that came from PPC and a few types abstracted out into #defines. But
it's not _quite_ right.

The first problem is we calculate the number of registers with:
        nregs = sizeof(struct pt_regs) / sizeof(ELF_GREG_TYPE)

For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's bogus because the registers are
64 bits, but ELF_GREG_TYPE is u32, so nregs == 88 which is wrong.

The other problem is the memset, which assumes a struct pt_regs is smaller
than a struct elf_regs. For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's false.

The fix is to calculate the number of regs using sizeof(unsigned long), which
should always be right, and just memset the whole damn thing _before_ copying
the registers in.

[PATCH] ppc32: make cur_cpu_spec a single pointer instead of an array

2005-09-28T05:42:54+00:00

Changed ppc32 so that cur_cpu_spec is just a single pointer for all CPUs.
Additionally, made call_setup_cpu check to see if the cpu_setup pointer
is NULL or not before calling the function.  This lets remove the dummy
cpu_setup calls that just return.

[PATCH] powerpc: Merge elf.h

2005-09-21T09:21:09+00:00

ppc/ppc64: Merge elf.h into include/asm-powerpc

Merge elf.h into a single include file for 32 and 64-bit ppc platforms. This
patch has been tested on 32-bit and built on 64-bit platforms.
