      [PATCH] powerpc: Fix handling of fpscr on 64-bit · 25c8a78b
      David Gibson 提交于
      The recent merge of fpu.S broken the handling of fpscr for
      ARCH=powerpc and CONFIG_PPC64=y.  FP registers could be corrupted,
      leading to strange random application crashes.
      
      The confusion arises, because the thread_struct has (and requires) a
      64-bit area to save the fpscr, because we use load/store double
      instructions to get it in to/out of the FPU.  However, only the low
      32-bits are actually used, so we want to treat it as a 32-bit quantity
      when manipulating its bits to avoid extra load/stores on 32-bit.  This
      patch replaces the current definition with a structure of two 32-bit
      quantities (pad and val), to clarify things as much as is possible.
      The 'val' field is used when manipulating bits, the structure itself
      is used when obtaining the address for loading/unloading the value
      from the FPU.
      
      While we're at it, consolidate the 4 (!) almost identical versions of
      cvt_fd() and cvt_df() (arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S,
      arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S, arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S,
      arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S) into a single version in fpu.S.  The
      new version takes a pointer to thread_struct and applies the correct
      offset itself, rather than a pointer to the fpscr field itself, again
      to avoid confusion as to which is the correct field to use.
      
      Finally, this patch makes ARCH=ppc64 also use the consolidated fpu.S
      code, which it previously did not.
      
      Built for G5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc), 32-bit powermac (ARCH=ppc
      and ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc, CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y).
      Booted on G5 (ARCH=powerpc) and things which previously fell over no
      longer do.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Merge thread_info.h · 6cb7bfeb
      David Gibson 提交于
      Merge ppc32 and ppc64 versions of thread_info.h.  They were pretty
      similar already, the chief changes are:
      
      	- Instead of inline asm to implement current_thread_info(),
      which needs to be different for ppc32 and ppc64, we use C with an
      asm("r1") register variable.  gcc turns it into the same asm as we
      used to have for both platforms.
      	- We replace ppc32's 'local_flags' with the ppc64
      'syscall_noerror' field.  The noerror flag was in fact the only thing
      in the local_flags field anyway, so the ppc64 approach is simpler, and
      means we only need a load-immediate/store instead of load/mask/store
      when clearing the flag.
      	- In readiness for 64k pages, when THREAD_SIZE will be less
      than a page, ppc64 used kmalloc() rather than get_free_pages() to
      allocate the kernel stack.  With this patch we do the same for ppc32,
      since there's no strong reason not to.
      	- For ppc64, we no longer export THREAD_SHIFT and THREAD_SIZE
      via asm-offsets, thread_info.h can now be safely included in asm, as
      on ppc32.
      
      Built and booted on G4 Powerbook (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and
      Power5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc).

      [PATCH] ppc64: kexec support for ppc64 · fce0d574
      R Sharada 提交于
      This patch implements the kexec support for ppc64 platforms.
      
      A couple of notes:
      
      1)  We copy the pages in virtual mode, using the full base kernel
          and a statically allocated stack.   At kexec_prepare time we
          scan the pages and if any overlap our (0, _end[]) range we
          return -ETXTBSY.
      
          On PowerPC 64 systems running in LPAR (logical partitioning)
          mode, only a small region of memory, referred to as the RMO,
          can be accessed in real mode.  Since Linux runs with only one
          zone of memory in the memory allocator, and it can be orders of
          magnitude more memory than the RMO, looping until we allocate
          pages in the source region is not feasible.  Copying in virtual
          means we don't have to write a hash table generation and call
          hypervisor to insert translations, instead we rely on the pinned
          kernel linear mapping.  The kernel already has move to linked
          location built in, so there is no requirement to load it at 0.
      
          If we want to load something other than a kernel, then a stub
          can be written to copy a linear chunk in real mode.
      
      2)  The start entry point gets passed parameters from the kernel.
          Slaves are started at a fixed address after copying code from
          the entry point.
      
          All CPUs get passed their firmware assigned physical id in r3
          (most calling conventions use this register for the first
          argument).
      
          This is used to distinguish each CPU from all other CPUs.
          Since firmware is not around, there is no other way to obtain
          this information other than to pass it somewhere.
      
          A single CPU, referred to here as the master and the one executing
          the kexec call, branches to start with the address of start in r4.
          While this can be calculated, we have to load it through a gpr to
          branch to this point so defining the register this is contained
          in is free.  A stack of unspecified size is available at r1
          (also common calling convention).
      
          All remaining running CPUs are sent to start at absolute address
          0x60 after copying the first 0x100 bytes from start to address 0.
          This convention was chosen because it matches what the kernel
          has been doing itself.  (only gpr3 is defined).
      
          Note: This is not quite the convention of the kexec bootblock v2
          in the kernel.  A stub has been written to convert between them,
          and we may adjust the kernel in the future to allow this directly
          without any stub.
      
      3)  Destination pages can be placed anywhere, even where they
          would not be accessible in real mode.  This will allow us to
          place ram disks above the RMO if we choose.

      [PATCH] ppc64: Fix PER_LINUX32 behaviour · ce10d979
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This patch fixes some bugs in the ppc64 PER_LINUX32 implementation,
      noted by Juergen Kreileder:
      
      * uname(2) doesn't respect PER_LINUX32, it returns 'ppc64' instead of 'ppc'
      * Child processes of a PER_LINUX32 process don't inherit PER_LINUX32
      
      Along the way I took the opportunity to move things around so that
      sys_ppc32.c only has 32-bit syscall emulation functions and to remove
      the obsolete "fakeppc" command line option.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
