[POWERPC] Support feature fixups in vdso's

2006-10-25T01:54:07+00:00

This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up.
The main issue was that the construct:

        .long   label  (or .llong on 64 bits)

will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will
generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc,
which is not something we can deal with in the vdso.

The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like:

1:
        .long   label - 1b

That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of
code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry
itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've
modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest
of the kernel as well.

Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel
need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not
support 32 bits code with a statement of the form:

        .llong  label - 1b  (Or even just .llong label)

That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use
to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific
case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are
using a modified macro that generates:

        .long   0xffffffff
        .llong  label - 1b

Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by
the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always
before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the
other way around).

[POWERPC] Consolidate feature fixup code

2006-10-25T01:42:10+00:00

There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the
feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In
addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations
for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and
separately for 32 and 64 bits.

This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are
slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from
assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any
problem.

[POWERPC] Add initial support for the e300c2 core

2006-10-04T05:24:27+00:00

Add support for the Freescale e300c2 core found in the MPC832x processor line.

As far as initial kernel support is concerned, the e300c2 core is
identical to the e300c1 found in the mpc834x, except that it's had its
floating point unit chopped off.

[POWERPC] Add AT_PLATFORM value for Xilinx Virtex-4 FX

2006-09-21T12:54:54+00:00

Jakub noticed the cputable.c entry for Xilinx Virtex-4 FX was missing
a .platform value, so the AT_PLATFORM value wouldn't be set correctly.
This adds it.

[POWERPC] Cleanup CPU inits

2006-08-25T03:27:35+00:00

Cleanup CPU inits a bit more, Geoff Levand already did some earlier.

* Move CPU state save to cpu_setup, since cpu_setup is only ever done
  on cpu 0 on 64-bit and save is never done more than once.
* Rename __restore_cpu_setup to __restore_cpu_ppc970 and add
  function pointers to the cputable to use instead. Powermac always
  has 970 so no need to check there.
* Rename __970_cpu_preinit to __cpu_preinit_ppc970 and check PVR before
  calling it instead of in it, it's too early to use cputable.
* Rename pSeries_secondary_smp_init to generic_secondary_smp_init since
  everyone but powermac and iSeries use it.
