powerpc/32: remove a NOP from memset()

2017-09-01T06:42:46+00:00

memset() is patched after initialisation to activate the
optimised part which uses cache instructions.

Today we have a 'b 2f' to skip the optimised patch, which then gets
replaced by a NOP, implying a useless cycle consumption.
As we have a 'bne 2f' just before, we could use that instruction
for the live patching, hence removing the need to have a
dedicated 'b 2f' to be replaced by a NOP.

This patch changes the 'bne 2f' by a 'b 2f'. During init, that
'b 2f' is then replaced by 'bne 2f'

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

Merge branch 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

2016-10-14T21:26:58+00:00

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

 - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
   Piggin

 - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
   -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

 - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell

 - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.

powerpc/32: Fix crash during static key init

2016-08-10T09:41:58+00:00

We cannot do those initializations from apply_feature_fixups() as
this function runs in a very restricted environment on 32-bit where
the kernel isn't running at its linked address and the PTRRELOC()
macro must be used for any global accesss.

Instead, split them into a separtate steup_feature_keys() function
which is called in a more suitable spot on ppc32.

powerpc: Move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file

2016-08-01T01:15:03+00:00

We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement
this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h.

Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the
problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then
cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs
reg.h (for MSR_EE).

So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

powerpc: Merge 32-bit and 64-bit setup_arch()

2016-07-21T09:17:46+00:00

There is little enough differences now.

mpe: Add a/p/k/setup.h to contain the prototypes and empty versions of
functions we need, rather than using weak functions. Add a few other
empty versions to avoid as many #ifdefs as possible in the code.

Do it right after probe_machine() since it's about testing ppc_md,
and put the test in the common code.
