powerpc/ppc476: Disable BTAC

2014-08-13T05:13:42+00:00

This patch disables the branch target address CAM which under specific
circumstances may cause the processor to skip execution of 1-4
instructions. This fixes IBM Erratum #47.

powerpc: Remove the empty giveup_fpu() function on 32bit kernel

2013-08-14T04:59:50+00:00

Instead of implementing an empty giveup_fpu() function for each
32bit processor type, replace them with an unique empty inline
function.

powerpc: Fix interrupt range check on debug exception

2013-05-02T00:31:01+00:00

We do not want to take single step and branch-taken debug exception
in kernel exception code. But the address range check was not covering
all kernel exception handlers address range.

With this patch we defined the interrupt_end label which defines the
end on kernel exception code. So now we check interrupt_base to
interrupt_end range for not handling debug exception in kernel
exception entry.

Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

2012-05-24T23:17:30+00:00

Pull KVM changes from Avi Kivity:
 "Changes include additional instruction emulation, page-crossing MMIO,
  faster dirty logging, preventing the watchdog from killing a stopped
  guest, module autoload, a new MSI ABI, and some minor optimizations
  and fixes.  Outside x86 we have a small s390 and a very large ppc
  update.

  Regarding the new (for kvm) rebaseless workflow, some of the patches
  that were merged before we switch trees had to be rebased, while
  others are true pulls.  In either case the signoffs should be correct
  now."

Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_segment.S and arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h.

I suspect the kvm_para.h resolution ends up doing the "do I have cpuid"
check effectively twice (it was done differently in two different
commits), but better safe than sorry ;)

powerpc/booke: Provide exception macros with interrupt name

2012-04-08T09:51:17+00:00

DO_KVM will need to identify the particular exception type.

There is an existing set of arbitrary numbers that Linux passes,
but it's an undocumented mess that sort of corresponds to server/classic
exception vectors but not really.

powerpc/44x: Enable CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC44x

2011-12-20T15:21:57+00:00

The following patch adds relocatable kernel support - based on processing
of dynamic relocations - for PPC44x kernel.

We find the runtime address of _stext and relocate ourselves based
on the following calculation.

	virtual_base = ALIGN(KERNELBASE,256M) +
			MODULO(_stext.run,256M)

relocate() is called with the Effective Virtual Base Address (as
shown below)

            | Phys. Addr| Virt. Addr |
Page (256M) |------------------------|
Boundary    |           |            |
            |           |            |
            |           |            |
Kernel Load |___________|_ __ _ _ _ _|<- Effective
Addr(_stext)|           |      ^     |Virt. Base Addr
            |           |      |     |
            |           |      |     |
            |           |reloc_offset|
            |           |      |     |
            |           |      |     |
            |           |______v_____|<-(KERNELBASE)%256M
            |           |            |
            |           |            |
            |           |            |
Page(256M)  |-----------|------------|
Boundary    |           |            |

The virt_phys_offset is updated accordingly, i.e,

	virt_phys_offset = effective. kernel virt base - kernstart_addr

I have tested the patches on 440x platforms only. However this should
work fine for PPC_47x also, as we only depend on the runtime address
and the current TLB XLAT entry for the startup code, which is available
in r25. I don't have access to a 47x board yet. So, it would be great if
somebody could test this on 47x.

powerpc/44x: Enable DYNAMIC_MEMSTART for 440x

2011-12-20T15:20:38+00:00

DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(old RELOCATABLE) was restricted only to PPC_47x variants
of 44x. This patch enables DYNAMIC_MEMSTART for 440x based chipsets.

powerpc: Rename mapping based RELOCATABLE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART for BookE

2011-12-20T15:20:19+00:00

The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based
on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This
approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size
is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used
currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method.

The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the
dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series.

This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for
platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with
smaller TLB size).

Changes since v3:

* Introduced a new config, NONSTATIC_KERNEL, to denote a kernel which is
  either a RELOCATABLE or DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(Suggested by: Josh Boyer)
