      powerpc: Use names rather than numbers for SPRGs (v2) · ee43eb78
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
      low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
      global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.
      
      We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
      as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
      of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
      and the current choice isn't always the best.
      
      This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
      usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
      and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
      what those are used for on each processor family.
      
      The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
      or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
      the SPRGs.

      POWERPC: Allow 32-bit hashed pgtable code to support 36-bit physical · 4ee7084e
      Becky Bruce 提交于
      This rearranges a bit of code, and adds support for
      36-bit physical addressing for configs that use a
      hashed page table.  The 36b physical support is not
      enabled by default on any config - it must be
      explicitly enabled via the config system.
      
      This patch *only* expands the page table code to accomodate
      large physical addresses on 32-bit systems and enables the
      PHYS_64BIT config option for 86xx.  It does *not*
      allow you to boot a board with more than about 3.5GB of
      RAM - for that, SWIOTLB support is also required (and
      coming soon).

      [POWERPC] Fix COMMON symbol warnings · 991eb43a

      We get the following warnings in various ARCH=powerpc builds:

      Switch to moving local symbols (except mmu_hash_lock which is global) and

      [POWERPC] Fix 32-bit mm operations when not using BATs · ee4f2ea4
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      On hash table based 32 bits powerpc's, the hash management code runs with
      a big spinlock. It's thus important that it never causes itself a hash
      fault. That code is generally safe (it does memory accesses in real mode
      among other things) with the exception of the actual access to the code
      itself. That is, the kernel text needs to be accessible without taking
      a hash miss exceptions.
      
      This is currently guaranteed by having a BAT register mapping part of the
      linear mapping permanently, which includes the kernel text. But this is
      not true if using the "nobats" kernel command line option (which can be
      useful for debugging) and will not be true when using DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
      implemented in a subsequent patch.
      
      This patch fixes this by pre-faulting in the hash table pages that hit
      the kernel text, and making sure we never evict such a page under hash
      pressure.

      powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc. · 14cf11af
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
      of Kconfig files.  It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
      arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac.  This is enough
      to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
      
      For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
      arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel.  This makes some minor changes
      to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
      
      The boot directory is still not merged.  That's going to be interesting.

      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!
