This was causing some ordering problems.  Remove the up-front evaluation
and just revaluate the compiler version each time we need it.

(The up-front evaluation was problematic because some architectures modify
the value of $(CC)).

<title>[PATCH] powerpc: Merge bitops.h</title>

<id>a0e60b2033b30a6bb8479629001cf98e58e4079a</id>
<content type='text'>
Here's a revised version.  This re-introduces the set_bits() function
from ppc64, which I removed because I thought it was unused (it exists
on no other arch).  In fact it is used in the powermac interrupt code
(but not on pSeries).

- We use LARXL/STCXL macros to generate the right (32 or 64 bit)
  instructions, similar to LDL/STL from ppc_asm.h, used in fpu.S

- ppc32 previously used a full "sync" barrier at the end of
  test_and_*_bit(), whereas ppc64 used an "isync".  The merged version
  uses "isync", since I believe that's sufficient.

- The ppc64 versions of then minix_*() bitmap functions have changed
  semantics.  Previously on ppc64, these functions were big-endian
  (that is bit 0 was the LSB in the first 64-bit, big-endian word).
  On ppc32 (and x86, for that matter, they were little-endian.  As far
  as I can tell, the big-endian usage was simply wrong - I guess
  no-one ever tried to use minixfs on ppc64.

- On ppc32 find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit() are no longer
  inline (they were already out-of-line on ppc64).

- For ppc64, sched_find_first_bit() has moved from mmu_context.h to
  the merged bitops.  What it was doing in mmu_context.h in the first
  place, I have no idea.

- The fls() function is now implemented using the cntlzw instruction
  on ppc64, instead of generic_fls(), as it already was on ppc32.

- For ARCH=ppc, this patch requires adding arch/powerpc/lib to the
  arch/ppc/Makefile.  This in turn requires some changes to
  arch/powerpc/lib/Makefile which didn't correctly handle ARCH=ppc.

Built and running on G5.

<title>[PATCH] ppc: prevent GCC 4 from generating AltiVec instructions in kernel</title>

<id>9e3699ea7b8d63eabde7fefa9892e3a258c9c27d</id>
<content type='text'>
Depending on how GCC is built, GCC 4 may generate altivec instructions without
user explicitly requesting vector operations in the code.  Although this is a
performance booster for user applications, it is a problem for kernel.

This patch explicitly instruct GCC to NOT generate altivec instructions while
building the kernel.

Here are some test cases I ran.

(1) build gcc 4.0.1 with '--with-cpu=7450 --enable-altivec
    --enable-cxx-flags=-mcpu=7450', and use this gcc to build kernel WITHOUT
    this kernel patch.  Kernel fail to boot up on a 7450 board because of
    altivec instructions in kernel.

(2) build gcc 4.0.1 with "--with-cpu=7450 --enable-altivec
    --enable-cxx-flags=-mcpu=7450", and use this gcc to build kernel WITH this
    kernel patch.  Kernel boot up on a 7450 board without any problem.

(3) build gcc 4.0.1 with "--with-cpu=750 --enable-cxx-flags=-mcpu=750",
    and use this gcc to build kernel with or without this kernel patch.
    Kernel boot up on a 7450 board without any problem.

This patch should also work with GCC 3 or even earlier GCC 2.95.3.

This fixes up a variety of minor problems in compiling with ARCH=ppc
arising from using the merged versions of various header files.
A lot of the changes are just adding #include &lt;asm/machdep.h&gt; to
files that use ppc_md or smp_ops_t.

This also arranges for us to use semaphore.c, vecemu.c, vector.S and
fpu.S from arch/powerpc/kernel when compiling with ARCH=ppc.

<title>kbuild: rename prepare to archprepare to fix dependency chain</title>

<id>5bb78269000cf326bfdfa19f79449c02a9158020</id>
<content type='text'>
When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare

The dependency chain looks like this now:

prepare
  |
  +--&gt; prepare0
         |
         +--&gt; archprepare
                |
		+--&gt; scripts_basic
                +--&gt; prepare1
                       |
                       +---&gt; prepare2
                               |
                               +--&gt; prepare3

So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
are all updated before archprepare is processed.

prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
actions performed by archprepare.

The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.
Updated Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt.

The ppc and ppc64 trees are hopefully going to merge over time, so this
patch begins the process by creating a place for the merging of the
header files.

Create include/asm-powerpc (and move linkage.h into it from
asm-{ppc,ppc64} since we don't like empty directories).  Modify the
ppc and ppc64 Makefiles to cope.
