powerpc: Introduce VSX thread_struct and CONFIG_VSX

2008-07-01T01:28:46+00:00

The layout of the new VSR registers and how they overlap on top of the
legacy FPR and VR registers is:

VSX has 64 128bit registers.  The first 32 regs overlap with the FP
registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits.  The
second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.

This commit introduces the thread_struct changes required to reflect
this register layout.  Ptrace and signals code is updated so that the
floating point registers are correctly accessed from the thread_struct
when CONFIG_VSX is enabled.

[POWERPC] 40x/Book-E: Save/restore volatile exception registers

2008-06-02T19:56:35+00:00

On machines with more than one exception level any system register that
might be modified by the "normal" exception level needs to be saved and
restored on taking a higher level exception.  We already are saving
and restoring ESR and DEAR.

For critical level add SRR0/1.
For debug level add CSRR0/1 and SRR0/1.
For machine check level add DSRR0/1, CSRR0/1, and SRR0/1.

On FSL Book-E parts we always save/restore the MAS registers for critical,
debug, and machine check level exceptions.  On 44x we always save/restore
the MMUCR.

Additionally, we save and restore the ksp_limit since we have to adjust it
for each exception level.

[POWERPC] Add IRQSTACKS support on ppc32

2008-04-29T05:57:34+00:00

This makes it possible to use separate stacks for hard and soft IRQs
on 32-bit powerpc as well as on 64-bit.  The code for 32-bit is just
the 32-bit analog of the 64-bit code.

* Added allocation and initialization of the irq stacks.  We limit the
  stacks to be in lowmem for ppc32.
* Implemented ppc32 versions of call_do_softirq() and call_handle_irq()
  to switch the stack pointers
* Reworked how we do stack overflow detection.  We now keep around the
  limit of the stack in the thread_struct and compare against the limit
  to see if we've overflowed.  We can now use this on ppc64 if desired.

[ paulus@samba.org: Fixed bug on 6xx where we need to reload r9 with the
  thread_info pointer. ]

KVM: ppc: PowerPC 440 KVM implementation

2008-04-27T15:21:39+00:00

This functionality is definitely experimental, but is capable of running
unmodified PowerPC 440 Linux kernels as guests on a PowerPC 440 host. (Only
tested with 440EP "Bamboo" guests so far, but with appropriate userspace
support other SoC/board combinations should work.)

See Documentation/powerpc/kvm_440.txt for technical details.

[POWERPC] iSeries: Use alternate paca structure for booting

2008-04-15T11:21:25+00:00

The iSeries HV only needs the first two fields of the paca statically
initialised, so create an alternate paca that contains only those and
switch to our real paca immediately after boot.

This is in order to make the 1024 cpu patches easier since they will no
longer have to statically initialise the pacas for iSeries.

Fix compilation of powerpc asm-offsets.c with old gcc

2008-02-07T22:54:45+00:00

Commit ad7f71674ad7c3c4467e48f6ab9e85516dae2720 ("[POWERPC] Use a
sensible default for clock_getres() in the VDSO") corrected the clock
resolution reported by the VDSO clock_getres() but introduced another
problem in that older versions of gcc (gcc-4.0 and earlier) fail to
compile the new code in arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c.

This fixes it by introducing a new MONOTONIC_RES_NSEC define in the
generic code which is equivalent to KTIME_MONOTONIC_RES but is just an
integer constant, not a ktime union.
