2006-01-14powerpc: Provide a suitable AT_PLATFORM valuePaul Mackerras
The glibc folks want to use AT_PLATFORM to select between possible alternative versions of shared libraries. This commit makes the kernel supply an AT_PLATFORM string that indicates what class of processor we are running on. Processors with the same set of user-level instructions and roughly the same instruction scheduling characteristics are given the same AT_PLATFORM value; for example, 821, 823 and 860 are all reported as "ppc823", and 7447, 7447A, 7448, 7450, 7451, 7455 are all called "ppc7450". The intention is that the AT_PLATFORM values match the values that gcc accepts for the -mcpu= option. For values which are numeric (e.g. -mcpu=750), "ppc" has been prepended. This also adds a PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE bit to the AT_HWCAP value and sets it for the 440 family and the Freescale 85xx family. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: sanitize header files for user space includesArnd Bergmann
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.

2005-11-11[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernelBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-07[PATCH] fix remaining missing includesTim Schmielau
Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous fix-missing-includes.patch. This should now allow not to include sched.h from module.h, which is done by a followup patch.

2005-11-04powerpc: Fix random memory corruption in merged elf.hMichael Ellerman
The merged verison of ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS is basically the PPC64 version, with a memset that came from PPC and a few types abstracted out into #defines. But it's not _quite_ right. The first problem is we calculate the number of registers with: nregs = sizeof(struct pt_regs) / sizeof(ELF_GREG_TYPE) For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's bogus because the registers are 64 bits, but ELF_GREG_TYPE is u32, so nregs == 88 which is wrong. The other problem is the memset, which assumes a struct pt_regs is smaller than a struct elf_regs. For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's false. The fix is to calculate the number of regs using sizeof(unsigned long), which should always be right, and just memset the whole damn thing _before_ copying the registers in.

2005-09-28[PATCH] ppc32: make cur_cpu_spec a single pointer instead of an arrayKumar Gala
Changed ppc32 so that cur_cpu_spec is just a single pointer for all CPUs. Additionally, made call_setup_cpu check to see if the cpu_setup pointer is NULL or not before calling the function. This lets remove the dummy cpu_setup calls that just return. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <kumar.gala@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

ppc/ppc64: Merge elf.h into include/asm-powerpc Merge elf.h into a single include file for 32 and 64-bit ppc platforms. This patch has been tested on 32-bit and built on 64-bit platforms.
