powerpc/perf: Move perf core & PMU code into a subdirectory

2012-02-22T23:50:04+00:00

The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to
warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the
oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to
grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.

While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations
of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the
original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.

powerpc: Process dynamic relocations for kernel

2011-12-20T15:21:08+00:00

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

powerpc: Add support for OpenBlockS 600

2011-12-08T03:22:52+00:00

So I've had one of these for a while and it looks like the vendor never
bothered submitting the support upstream.

This adds it using ppc40x_simple and provides a device-tree.

There are some changes to the boot wrapper because the way u-boot works
on this thing, it seems to expect a multipart image with the kernel,
initrd and dtb in it.

The USB support is missing as it needs the yet unmerged driver for
the DWC OTG part and the GPIOs may need further definition in the dts.

arch/powerpc: Remove duplicate/redundant Altivec entries

In lieu of having multiple similiar lines, we can just have one
generic cpu-as line for CONFIG_ALTIVEC

powerpc: Remove buggy 9-year-old test for binutils < 2.12.1

2011-11-17T05:26:07+00:00

Recent binutils refuses to assemble AltiVec opcodes when in e500/SPE
mode, as some of those opcodes alias the "SPE" instructions.  This
triggers an ancient binutils version check even when building a kernel
with CONFIG_ALTIVEC disabled.

In theory, the check could be conditionalized on CONFIG_ALTIVEC, but in
practice it has long outlived its utility.  It is virtually impossible
to find binutils older than 2.12.1 (released 2002) in the wild anymore.
Even ancient RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 has binutils-2.14.

To fix the kernel build when done natively on e500 systems with this new
binutils, the test is simply removed.

net: filter: BPF 'JIT' compiler for PPC64

2011-07-21T19:38:32+00:00

An implementation of a code generator for BPF programs to speed up packet
filtering on PPC64, inspired by Eric Dumazet's x86-64 version.

Filter code is generated as an ABI-compliant function in module_alloc()'d mem
with stackframe & prologue/epilogue generated if required (simple filters don't
need anything more than an li/blr).  The filter's local variables, M[], live in
registers.  Supports all BPF opcodes, although "complicated" loads from negative
packet offsets (e.g. SKF_LL_OFF) are not yet supported.

There are a couple of further optimisations left for future work; many-pass
assembly with branch-reach reduction and a register allocator to push M[]
variables into volatile registers would improve the code quality further.

This currently supports big-endian 64-bit PowerPC only (but is fairly simple
to port to PPC32 or LE!).

Enabled in the same way as x86-64:

	echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

Or, enabled with extra debug output:

	echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

powerpc: Use -mtraceback=no

2011-07-01T03:49:27+00:00

gcc 4.7 will be more strict about parsing the -mtraceback option:

 gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option '-mtraceback=none'
 gcc: note: valid arguments to '-mtraceback=' are: full no part

gcc used to do a 2 char compare so both "no" and "none" would
match. Switch to using -mtraceback=no should work everywhere.

powerpc: fix build with make 3.82

2010-08-09T04:14:05+00:00

Thomas Backlund reported that the powerpc build broke with make 3.82.
It failed with the following message:

    arch/powerpc/Makefile:183: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.

The fix is to avoid mixing non-wildcard and wildcard targets.
