2008-07-01powerpc: Allow create_branch() to return errorsMichael Ellerman
Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and patches it into the call site. In some circumstances it would be nice to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before doing the patching. A future commit will change create_branch() to check for errors. For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly. While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *, as this seems to match usage better. That allows (and requires) us to remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change across the patch_branch() call.

2008-07-01powerpc: Move code patching code into arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.cMichael Ellerman
We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to be inlined. While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something different.

2007-05-09[POWERPC] Further fixes for the removal of 4level-fixup hack from ppc32David Gibson
Commit d1953c8888ef034b912ee33bc2ea2cce6a414402 removed the use of 4level-fixup.h for 32-bit systems under arch/powerpc. However, I missed a few things activated on some configurations, resulting in some warnings (at least with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS enabled) and build errors in some circumstances. This fixes it.

arch/powerpc/platforms/86xx/mpc86xx_smp.c::smp_86xx_kick_cpu() contains local_irq_disable() call after local_irq_save(). This looks redundant. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
