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/mpc83xx: Power Management support

2008-07-16T22:57:30+00:00

Basic PM support for 83xx.  Standby is implemented as sleep.
Suspend-to-RAM is implemented as "deep sleep" (with the processor
turned off) on 831x.

powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support

2008-07-01T01:28:50+00:00

This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available.  This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.

Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.

The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers.  Backward
compatibility is maintained.

The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.

powerpc: Introduce infrastructure for feature sections with alternatives

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

The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means
if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both
cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg:

BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	1,1,1
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO)
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	2,2,2
END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO)

and the resulting code will be either,

	or	1,1,1
	nop

or,
	nop
	or	2,2,2

For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in
performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops.
This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following:

BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
	or	1,1,1
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
	or	2,2,2
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO)

and the resulting code will be:

	or	1,1,1
or,
	or	2,2,2

We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature
section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty
we nop out the default case.

The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or
equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the
remainder of the section is nop'ed.

We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text,
so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link,
this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases.

This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but
does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.

We also need to update two hand-made section entries in reg.h and timex.h

powerpc/85xx: add DOZE/NAP support for e500 core

2008-06-26T06:48:56+00:00

The e500 core enter DOZE/NAP power-saving modes when the core go to
cpu_idle routine.

The power management default running mode is DOZE, If the user

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/powersave-nap

the system will change to NAP running mode.

[POWERPC] Made FSL Book-E PMC support more generic

2008-02-06T05:34:14+00:00

Some of the more recent e300 cores have the same performance monitor
implementation as the e500.  e300 isn't book-e, so the name isn't
really appropriate.  In preparation for e300 support, rename a bunch
of fsl_booke things to say fsl_emb (Freescale Embedded Performance Monitors).

[POWERPC] Use SLB size from the device tree

2007-12-11T02:45:56+00:00

Currently we hardwire the number of SLBs to 64, but PAPR says we
should use the ibm,slb-size property to obtain the number of SLB
entries.  This uses this property instead of assuming 64.  If no
property is found, we assume 64 entries as before.

This soft patches the SLB handler, so it shouldn't change performance
at all.

[POWERPC] Remove APUS support from arch/ppc

2007-09-17T05:15:04+00:00

Current status of APUS:
- arch/powerpc/: removed in 2.6.23
- arch/ppc/: marked BROKEN since 2 years

This therefore removes the remaining parts of APUS support from
arch/ppc, include/asm-ppc, arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc.
