This patch consolidates the variety of macros used for loading 32 or
64-bit constants in assembler (LOADADDR, LOADBASE, SET_REG_TO_*).  The
idea is to make the set of macros consistent across 32 and 64 bit and
to make it more obvious which is the appropriate one to use in a given
situation.  The new macros and their semantics are described in the
comments in ppc_asm.h.

In the process, we change several places that were unnecessarily using
immediate loads on ppc64 to use the GOT/TOC.  Likewise we cleanup a
couple of places where we were clumsily subtracting PAGE_OFFSET with
asm instructions to use assemble-time arithmetic or the toreal() macro
instead.

include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that
are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does
not have this yet.

This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases
where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified
that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__
any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when
including any of the headers in user space libraries.

<title>[PATCH] powerpc: Consolidate asm compatibility macros</title>

<id>3ddfbcf19b15ccd25a0b4b2dc2e38000e08de739</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for
compatibility across different CPUs or configs.  A new header,
asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros.  It
uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use
in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files.  Headers (bitops.h,
uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility
macros are changed to use asm-compat.h.

ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces
that.  As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution
here than in asm-compat.h.

While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in
futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't.

Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc).  Built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc).

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

<content type='text'>
This patch merges the ppc32 and ppc64 versions of futex.h, essentially
by taking the ppc64 version as the powerpc version.  The old ppc32
version did not implement the futex_atomic_op_inuser() callback (it
always returned -ENOSYS), so FUTEX_WAKE_OP would not work on ppc32.
In fact the ppc64 version of this function is almost suitable for
ppc32 as well - the only change needed is to extend ppc_asm.h with a
macro expanding to to the right pseudo-op to store a pointer (either
".long" or ".llong").

Built and booted on pSeries.  Built for 32-bit powermac.

The merged version follows the ppc64 version pretty closely mostly,
and in fact ARCH=ppc64 now uses the arch/powerpc/xmon version.
The main difference for ppc64 is that the 'p' command to call
show_state (which was always pretty dodgy) has been replaced by
the ppc32 'p' command, which calls a given procedure (so in fact
the old 'p' command behaviour can be achieved with 'p $show_state').

On 32-bit platforms, these convert from kernel virtual addresses
to real (physical addresses), like tophys/tovirt but they use
the same register for the source and destination.  On 64-bit
platforms, they do nothing because the hardware ignores the top
two bits of the address in real mode.

These new macros are used in fpu.S now.
