By using the compiler intrinsics instead of hand-crafted opaque inline assembler for byte-swapping, we let the compiler see what's actually happening and it gets to use lwbrx/stwbrx instructions instead of a normal load/store coupled with a sequence of rlwimi instructions to move bits around. Compiled-tested only. It gave a code size reduction of almost 4% for ext2, and more like 2.5% for ext3/ext4. Signed-off-by:

Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela, ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS. Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally. Signed-off-by:

On POWER6 and POWER7 if the input operand to an instruction is a denormalised single precision binary floating point value we can take a denormalisation exception where it's expected that the hypervisor (HV=1) will fix up the inputs before the instruction is run. This adds code to handle this denormalisation exception for POWER6 and POWER7. It also add a CONFIG_PPC_DENORMALISATION option and sets it in pseries/ppc64_defconfig. This is useful on bare metal systems only. Based on patch from Milton Miller. Signed-off-by:

Freescale PowerPC SoCs share a number of IP blocks with Freescale ARM/IMX SoCs, FlexCAN, SSI, FEC, eSDHC, USB, etc. There are some effort consolidating those drivers to make them work for both architectures. One outstanding difference between two architectures is ARM/IMX will turn off module clocks during platform initialization for power saving and expects drivers manage clocks using clk API, while PowerPC mostly does not do that, and thus does not always build in clk API. Listing all those driver Kconfig options in "select PPC_CLOCK if" seems not scalable for long term maintenance, and could easily introduce Kconfig recursive dependency. This patch chooses to select PPC_CLOCK unconditionally for FSL_SOC to always build clk API for PowerPC in. Signed-off-by:

Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we broke them. Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others. This does not change anything for the architectures using the old style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there. For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

This patch adds support for creating 1:1 mapping for the PPC_47x during a KEXEC. The implementation is similar to that of the PPC440x which is described here : http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/104323/ PPC_47x MMU : The 47x uses Unified TLB 1024 entries, with 4-way associative mapping (4 x 256 entries). The index to be used is calculated by the MMU by hashing the PID, EPN and TS. The software can choose to specify the way by setting bit 0(enable way select) and the way in bits 1-2 in the TLB Word 0. Implementation: The patch erases all the UTLB entries which includes the tlb covering the mapping for our code. The shadow TLB caches the mapping for the running code which helps us to continue the execution until we do isync/rfi. We then create a tmp mapping for the current code in the other address space (TS) and switch to it. Then we create a 1:1 mapping(EPN=RPN) for 0-2GiB in the original address space and switch to the new mapping. TODO: Add SMP support. Signed-off-by:

When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls. However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC syscalls do not do this. semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth argument, instead of the fourth argument itself. msgsnd(), msgrcv() and shmat() expect arguments in different order. This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc, s390, and mips). No actual semantics are changed for those architectures, and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c. Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific compat layer. In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64 mode is assumed, since that's what the <asm-generic> headers expect. The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were not being properly handled. Reviewed-by:

Reserve the memory during early boot to preserve CPU state data, HPTE region and RMA (real mode area) region data in case of kernel crash. At the time of crash, powerpc firmware will store CPU state data, HPTE region data and move RMA region data to the reserved memory area. If the firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve the memory, then fallback to existing kexec-based kdump. Most of the code implementation to reserve memory has been adapted from phyp assisted dump implementation written by Linas Vepstas and Manish Ahuja This patch also introduces a config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP for firmware assisted dump feature on Powerpc (ppc64) architecture.

However this should work fine for PPC_47x also, as we only depend on the runtime address and the current TLB XLAT entry for the startup code, which is available in r25. I don't have access to a 47x board yet. So, it would be great if somebody could test this on 47x. Signed-off-by:

The following patch implements the dynamic relocation processing for PPC32 kernel. relocate() accepts the target virtual address and relocates the kernel image to the same. Currently the following relocation types are handled : R_PPC_RELATIVE R_PPC_ADDR16_LO R_PPC_ADDR16_HI R_PPC_ADDR16_HA The last 3 relocations in the above list depends on value of Symbol indexed whose index is encoded in the Relocation entry. Hence we need the Symbol Table for processing such relocations. Note: The GNU ld for ppc32 produces buggy relocations for relocation types that depend on symbols. The value of the symbols with STB_LOCAL scope should be assumed to be zero. - Alan Modra Signed-off-by:

The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method. The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series. This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with smaller TLB size). Changes since v3: * Introduced a new config, NONSTATIC_KERNEL, to denote a kernel which is either a RELOCATABLE or DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(Suggested by: Josh Boyer) Suggested-by:

Now all ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP archs select HAVE_MEBLOCK_NODE_MAP - there's no user of early_node_map[] left. Kill early_node_map[] and replace ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP with HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP. Also, relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h as page_alloc.c would no longer host an alternative implementation. This change is ultimately one to one mapping and shouldn't cause any observable difference; however, after the recent changes, there are some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c and dependency on HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP instead of HAVE_MEMBLOCK doesn't make much sense on some of them. Further cleanups for functions inside HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP in mm.h would be nice. -v2: Fix compile bug introduced by mis-spelling CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to CONFIG_MEMBLOCK_HAVE_NODE_MAP in mmzone.h.

powerpc doesn't access early_node_map[] directly and enabling HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is trivial - replacing add_active_range() calls with memblock_set_node() and selecting HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enough. Signed-off-by:
