powerpc: TIF_ABI_PENDING bit removal

2010-02-09T12:51:02+00:00

commit 94f28da8409c6059135e89ac64a0839993124155 upstream.

Here are the powerpc bits to remove TIF_ABI_PENDING now that
set_personality() is called at the appropriate place in exec.

PCI/cardbus: Add a fixup hook and fix powerpc

2010-01-22T23:18:26+00:00

commit 2d1c861871d767153538a77c498752b36d4bb4b8 upstream

The cardbus code creates PCI devices without ever going through the
necessary fixup bits and pieces that normal PCI devices go through.

There's in fact a commented out call to pcibios_fixup_bus() in there,
it's commented because ... it doesn't work.

I could make pcibios_fixup_bus() do the right thing on powerpc easily
but I felt it cleaner instead to provide a specific hook pci_fixup_cardbus
for which a weak empty implementation is provided by the PCI core.

This fixes cardbus on powerbooks and probably all other PowerPC
platforms which was broken completely for ever on some platforms and
since 2.6.31 on others such as PowerBooks when we made the DMA ops
mandatory (since those are setup by the fixups).

module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

2010-01-18T18:19:51+00:00

commit d4703aefdbc8f9f347f6dcefcddd791294314eb7 upstream.

powerpc applies relocations to the kcrctab.  They're absolute symbols,
but it's not completely unreasonable: other archs may too, but the
relocation is often 0.

powerpc: Handle VSX alignment faults correctly in little-endian mode

2010-01-06T23:03:32+00:00

commit bb7f20b1c639606def3b91f4e4aca6daeee5d80a upstream.

This patch fixes the handling of VSX alignment faults in little-endian
mode (the current code assumes the processor is in big-endian mode).

The patch also makes the handlers clear the top 8 bytes of the register
when handling an 8 byte VSX load.

This is based on 2.6.32.

powerpc: Fix usage of 64-bit instruction in 32-bit altivec code

2009-12-18T22:04:35+00:00

commit e090aa80321b64c3b793f3b047e31ecf1af9538d upstream.

e821ea70f3b4873b50056a1e0f74befed1014c09 introduced a bug by copying
some 64-bit originated code as-is to be used by both 32 and 64-bit
but this code contains a 64-bit ony "cmpdi" instruction.

This changes it to cmpwi, which is fine since VRSAVE can only contains
a 32-bit value anyway.

powerpc: Avoid giving out RTC dates below EPOCH

2009-11-05T06:06:21+00:00

Doing so causes xtime to be negative which crashes the timekeeping
code in funny ways when doing suspend/resume

powerpc/ppc64: Use preempt_schedule_irq instead of preempt_schedule

2009-10-27T05:42:43+00:00

Based on an original patch by Valentine Barshak 

Use preempt_schedule_irq to prevent infinite irq-entry and
eventual stack overflow problems with fast-paced IRQ sources.

This kind of problems has been observed on the PASemi Electra IDE
controller. We have to make sure we are soft-disabled before calling
preempt_schedule_irq and hard disable interrupts after that
to avoid unrecoverable exceptions.

This patch also moves the "clrrdi r9,r1,THREAD_SHIFT" out of
the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E scope, since r9 is clobbered
and has to be restored in both cases.
