powerpc: Add ppc_global_function_entry()

2014-06-24T04:05:32+00:00

ABIv2 has the concept of a global and local entry point to a function.
In most cases we are interested in the local entry point, and so that is
what ppc_function_entry() returns.

However we have a case in the ftrace code where we want the global entry
point, and there may be other places we need it too. Rather than special
casing each, add an accessor.

For ABIv1 and 32-bit there is only a single entry point, so we return
that. That means it's safe for the caller to use this without also
checking the ABI version.

powerpc: Add ABIv2 support to ppc_function_entry

powerpc: Move the patch_exception to a common place

2013-12-02T03:06:54+00:00

So that it can be used by other codes. No function change.

powerpc: Have patch_instruction detect faults

2012-07-03T04:14:38+00:00

For ftrace to use the patch_instruction code, it needs to check for
faults on write. Ftrace updates code all over the kernel, and we need to
know if code is updated or not due to protections that are placed on
some portions of the kernel. If ftrace does not detect a fault, it will
error later on, and it will be much more difficult to find the problem.

By changing patch_instruction() to detect faults, then ftrace will be
able to make use of it too.

powerpc: Unify opcode definitions and support

2009-02-22T23:48:56+00:00

Create a new header that becomes a single location for defining PowerPC
opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions
at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just
compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about.

We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode
as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already
have.

Added support for the new dcbzl, dcbal, msgsnd, tlbilx, & wait instructions
since older assemblers don't know about them.

powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm

2008-08-04T02:02:00+00:00

from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where  was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
