<title>powerpc: Remove more traces of bootmem</title>
<updated>2014-11-19T10:41:51+00:00</updated>

<id>e39f223fc93580c86ccf6b3422033e349f57f0dd</id>
<content type='text'>
Although we are now selecting NO_BOOTMEM, we still have some traces of
bootmem lying around. That is because even with NO_BOOTMEM there is
still a shim that converts bootmem calls into memblock calls, but
ultimately we want to remove all traces of bootmem.

Most of the patch is conversions from alloc_bootmem() to
memblock_virt_alloc(). In general a call such as:

  p = (struct foo *)alloc_bootmem(x);

Becomes:

  p = memblock_virt_alloc(x, 0);

We don't need the cast because memblock_virt_alloc() returns a void *.
The alignment value of zero tells memblock to use the default alignment,
which is SMP_CACHE_BYTES, the same value alloc_bootmem() uses.

We remove a number of NULL checks on the result of
memblock_virt_alloc(). That is because memblock_virt_alloc() will panic
if it can't allocate, in exactly the same way as alloc_bootmem(), so the
NULL checks are and always have been redundant.

The memory returned by memblock_virt_alloc() is already zeroed, so we
remove several memsets of the result of memblock_virt_alloc().

Finally we convert a few uses of __alloc_bootmem(x, y, MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
to just plain memblock_virt_alloc(). We don't use memblock_alloc_base()
because MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is ~0ul on powerpc, so limiting the allocation
to that is pointless, 16XB ought to be enough for anyone.

Commit be96f63375a1 ("powerpc: Split out instruction analysis
part of emulate_step()") added some calls to do_fp_load()
and do_fp_store(), which fail to compile on configs with
CONFIG_PPC_FPU=n and CONFIG_PPC_EMULATE_SSTEP=y.  This fixes
the compile by adding #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_FPU around the code
that calls these functions.

<id>be96f63375a14ee8e690856ac77e579c75bd0bae</id>
<content type='text'>
This splits out the instruction analysis part of emulate_step() into
a separate analyse_instr() function, which decodes the instruction,
but doesn't execute any load or store instructions.  It does execute
integer instructions and branches which can be executed purely by
updating register values in the pt_regs struct.  For other instructions,
it returns the instruction type and other details in a new
instruction_op struct.  emulate_step() then uses that information
to execute loads, stores, cache operations, mfmsr, mtmsr[d], and
(on 64-bit) sc instructions.

The reason for doing this is so that the KVM code can use it instead
of having its own separate instruction emulation code.  Possibly the
alignment interrupt handler could also use this.
