2005-10-27[PATCH] powerpc: Fix handling of fpscr on 64-bitDavid Gibson
The recent merge of fpu.S broken the handling of fpscr for ARCH=powerpc and CONFIG_PPC64=y. FP registers could be corrupted, leading to strange random application crashes. The confusion arises, because the thread_struct has (and requires) a 64-bit area to save the fpscr, because we use load/store double instructions to get it in to/out of the FPU. However, only the low 32-bits are actually used, so we want to treat it as a 32-bit quantity when manipulating its bits to avoid extra load/stores on 32-bit. This patch replaces the current definition with a structure of two 32-bit quantities (pad and val), to clarify things as much as is possible. The 'val' field is used when manipulating bits, the structure itself is used when obtaining the address for loading/unloading the value from the FPU. While we're at it, consolidate the 4 (!) almost identical versions of cvt_fd() and cvt_df() (arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S, arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S, arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S, arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S) into a single version in fpu.S. The new version takes a pointer to thread_struct and applies the correct offset itself, rather than a pointer to the fpscr field itself, again to avoid confusion as to which is the correct field to use. Finally, this patch makes ARCH=ppc64 also use the consolidated fpu.S code, which it previously did not. Built for G5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc), 32-bit powermac (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc, CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y). Booted on G5 (ARCH=powerpc) and things which previously fell over no longer do. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-10-21[PATCH] powerpc: Don't blow away load_addr in start_threadMichael Ellerman
The patch to make process.c work for 32-bit and 64-bit (06d67d54741a5bfefa31945ef195dfa748c29025) broke some 64-bit binaries. We were blowing away load_addr in gpr[2], so we weren't properly relocating the entry point. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2005-10-01powerpc: Get merged kernel to compile and run on 32-bit SMP powermac.Paul Mackerras
This updates the powermac SMP code to use the mpic driver instead of the openpic driver and fixes the SMP-dependent context switch code. We had a subtle bug where we were using interrupt numbers 256-259 for IPIs, but ppc32 had NR_IRQS = 256. Moved the IPIs down to use interrupt numbers 252-255 instead.

2005-09-28powerpc: Fixes to get the merged kernel to boot on powermac.Paul Mackerras
This merges ppc_ksyms.c, puts back the actual do_execve call in sys_execve, makes init_MMU call find_end_of_memory rather than ppc_md.find_end_of_memory (every platform has a device tree with a /memory node now, right?) and fixes some problems with the mpic initialization on newworld powermacs.

2005-09-26powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.Paul Mackerras
This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm, arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc. For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc. The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
