2006-12-04[POWERPC] ps3: multiplatform build fixesArnd Bergmann
A few code paths need to check whether or not they are running on the PS3's LV1 hypervisor before making hcalls. This introduces a new firmware feature bit for this, FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1. Now when both PS3 and IBM_CELL_BLADE are enabled, but not PSERIES, FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1 and FW_FEATURE_LPAR get enabled at compile time, which is a bug. The same problem can also happen for (PPC_ISERIES && !PPC_PSERIES && PPC_SOMETHING_ELSE). In order to solve this, I introduce a new CONFIG_PPC_NATIVE option that is set when at least one platform is selected that can run without a hypervisor and then turns the firmware feature check into a run-time option. The new cell oprofile support that was recently merged does not work on hypervisor based platforms like the PS3, therefore make it depend on PPC_CELL_NATIVE instead of PPC_CELL. This may change if we get oprofile support for PS3. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com>
2006-12-04[POWERPC] ps3: Missed renames of CONFIG_PS3 to CONFIG_PPC_PS3Geert Uytterhoeven
When renaming CONFIG_PS3 to CONFIG_PPC_PS3, a few occurrences have been missed. I also fixed up the alignment in arch/powerpc/platforms/Makefile. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com>

2006-10-25[POWERPC] Support feature fixups in vdso'sBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up. The main issue was that the construct: .long label (or .llong on 64 bits) will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc, which is not something we can deal with in the vdso. The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like: 1: .long label - 1b That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest of the kernel as well. Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not support 32 bits code with a statement of the form: .llong label - 1b (Or even just .llong label) That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are using a modified macro that generates: .long 0xffffffff .llong label - 1b Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the other way around).

2006-10-25[POWERPC] Consolidate feature fixup codeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and separately for 32 and 64 bits. This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any problem.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Rename and export ppc64_firmware_featuresMichael Ellerman
We need to export ppc64_firmware_features for modules. Before we do that I think we should probably rename it to powerpc_firmware_features. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-03-27[PATCH] powerpc: Change firmware_has_feature() to a macroMichael Ellerman
So that we can use firmware_has_feature() in a BUG_ON() and have the compiler elide the code entirely if the feature can never be set, change firmware_has_feature to a macro. Unfortunate, but necessary at least until GCC bug #26724 is fixed. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-03-22[PATCH] powerpc: Replace platform_is_lpar() with a firmware featureMichael Ellerman
It has been decreed that platform numbers are evil, so as a step in that direction, replace platform_is_lpar() with a FW_FEATURE_LPAR bit. Currently FW_FEATURE_LPAR really means i/pSeries LPAR, in the future we might have to clean that up if we need to be more specific about what LPAR actually means. But that's another patch ...

2006-02-10[PATCH] powerpc: Move pSeries firmware feature setup into platforms/pseriesMichael Ellerman

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Create a trampoline for the fwnmi vectorsMichael Ellerman
The fwnmi vectors can be anywhere < 32 MB, so we need to use a trampoline for them. The kdump kernel will register the trampoline addresses, which will then jump up to the real code above 32 MB.

2005-11-10[PATCH] powerpc: merge code values for identifying platformsPaul Mackerras
This patch merges platform codes. systemcfg->platform is no longer used, systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed _systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch), _machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32. Platform codes aren't gone yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S is also turned into C code.
