fix 'dynreloc miscount' link error on Powerpc

2007-07-26T18:35:18+00:00

Nathan Lynch  reported:
2.6.23-rc1 breaks the build for 64-bit powerpc for me (using
maple_defconfig):

  LD      vmlinux.o
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: dynreloc miscount for
kernel/built-in.o, section .opd
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: can not edit opd Bad value
make: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1

However, I see a possibly related binutils patch:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/33650

It was tracked down to be caused by the weak prototype
declaration in mm.h:
__attribute__((weak)) const char *arch_vma_name(struct vm_area_struct *vma);

But there is no need to make the declaration weak - only the definition
needs to be marked weak.  So drop the weak declaration.  And in the process
drop the duplicate definition in page.h for powerpc.

Note: the arch_vma_name fix for x86_64 needs to be applied first to avoid
breaking x86_64

[POWERPC] Remove use of 4level-fixup.h for ppc32

2007-05-08T03:40:31+00:00

For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack,
to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels
rather than 4.  This patch removes this, instead using the newer
pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd
pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels).

This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily
compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.

[POWERPC] Fix STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS

2007-05-02T10:04:30+00:00

Since we don't have it active by default, the STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
option has bitrotted again.  This patch fixes a couple of simple build
fixes if the option is selected.  First, pud_t mustn't be defined in
page.h on 32-bit systems, because it conflicts with the version in the
generic pud-folding code.  Second, pci_32.c is missing a __pgprot()
wrapper call.  Third, a couple of PS3 files use constants of type
pgprot_t when they need the raw values, we add pgprot_val() calls to
fix this.

[POWERPC] Remove DISCONTIGMEM cruft from page.h

2006-09-22T05:19:58+00:00

This looks like cruft to me, these functions don't exist AFAICT,
and I can't see that it's possible to even enable DISCONTIGMEM on
powerpc anymore. CC'ing some folks who might know better, based on
the who-touched-it-last principle.

[PATCH] powerpc vdso updates

2006-06-09T11:20:57+00:00

This patch cleans up some locking & error handling in the ppc vdso and
moves the vdso base pointer from the thread struct to the mm context
where it more logically belongs. It brings the powerpc implementation
closer to Ingo's new x86 one and also adds an arch_vma_name() function
allowing to print [vsdo] in /proc//maps if Ingo's x86 vdso patch is
also applied.

[PATCH] powerpc: Kdump header cleanup

2006-05-19T05:02:16+00:00

We need to know the base address of the kdump kernel even when we're not a
kdump kernel, so add a #define for it. Move the logic that sets the kdump
kernelbase into kdump.h instead of page.h.

Rename kdump_setup() to setup_kdump_trampoline() to make it clearer what it's
doing, and add an empty definition for the !CRASH_DUMP case to avoid a

powerpc/32: Fix compile error caused by pud_t/pgt_t confusion

2006-01-11T05:27:21+00:00

PPC32 is still using asm-generic/4level-fixup.h, but asm-powerpc/page.h
was defining pud_t and pgd_t.  Depending on the order in which files
got included, this could result in a compilation error.  Tweak the ifdef
so that page.h doesn't try to define pud_t on ppc32 (which uses 2-level
page tables).
