powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm

2008-08-04T02:02:00+00:00

from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where  was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.

powerpc: Implement task_pt_regs() accessor

2008-07-09T06:30:44+00:00

The task_pt_regs() macro allows access to the pt_regs of a given task.

This macro is not currently defined for the powerpc architecture, but
we need it for some upcoming utrace additions.

powerpc: Fix compile warning in init_thread

2008-07-03T06:58:08+00:00

Currently we get this warning:
arch/powerpc/kernel/init_task.c:33: warning: missing braces around initializer
arch/powerpc/kernel/init_task.c:33: warning: (near initialization for 'init_task.thread.fpr[0]')

This fixes it.

powerpc: Introduce VSX thread_struct and CONFIG_VSX

2008-07-01T01:28:46+00:00

The layout of the new VSR registers and how they overlap on top of the
legacy FPR and VR registers is:

VSX has 64 128bit registers.  The first 32 regs overlap with the FP
registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits.  The
second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.

This commit introduces the thread_struct changes required to reflect
this register layout.  Ptrace and signals code is updated so that the
floating point registers are correctly accessed from the thread_struct
when CONFIG_VSX is enabled.

powerpc: Add macros to access floating point registers in thread_struct.

2008-07-01T01:28:43+00:00

We are going to change where the floating point registers are stored
in the thread_struct, so in preparation add some macros to access the
floating point registers.  Update all code to use these new macros.

powerpc: Check that TASK_SIZE does not overlap KERNEL_START

2008-06-09T03:46:40+00:00

Make sure CONFIG_TASK_SIZE does not overlap CONFIG_KERNEL_START
This could happen when overriding settings to get 1GB lowmem, and would lead
to userland mysteriousely hanging.

This setting is only used by PPC32.

[POWERPC] Add IRQSTACKS support on ppc32

2008-04-29T05:57:34+00:00

This makes it possible to use separate stacks for hard and soft IRQs
on 32-bit powerpc as well as on 64-bit.  The code for 32-bit is just
the 32-bit analog of the 64-bit code.

* Added allocation and initialization of the irq stacks.  We limit the
  stacks to be in lowmem for ppc32.
* Implemented ppc32 versions of call_do_softirq() and call_handle_irq()
  to switch the stack pointers
* Reworked how we do stack overflow detection.  We now keep around the
  limit of the stack in the thread_struct and compare against the limit
  to see if we've overflowed.  We can now use this on ppc64 if desired.

  thread_info pointer. ]

maps4: rework TASK_SIZE macros

2008-02-05T17:44:16+00:00

The following replaces the earlier patches sent.  It should address
David Rientjes's comments, and has been compile tested on all the
architectures that it touches, save for parisc.

For the /proc//pagemap code[1], we need to able to query how
much virtual address space a particular task has.  The trick is
that we do it through /proc and can't use TASK_SIZE since it
references "current" on some arches.  The process opening the
/proc file might be a 32-bit process opening a 64-bit process's
pagemap file.

x86_64 already has a TASK_SIZE_OF() macro:

#define TASK_SIZE_OF(child)     ((test_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_IA32)) ? IA32_PAGE_OFFSET : TASK_SIZE64)

I'd like to have that for other architectures.  So, add it
for all the architectures that actually use "current" in
their TASK_SIZE.  For the others, just add a quick #define
in sched.h to use plain old TASK_SIZE.

[POWERPC] Use attribute in asm-powerpc

2007-09-22T04:49:21+00:00

Pretty much everyone uses "__attribute__" or "attribute", no one uses
"__attribute".  This tweaks the three places in asm-powerpc where this
comes up.  While only asm-powerpc/types.h is interesting (for
userspace), I did asm-powerpc/processor.h as well for consistency.
