* powerpc: Remove fpscr use from [kvm_]cvt_{fd,df}Andreas Schwab2010-09-021-2/+2

* powerpc: Handle VSX alignment faults correctly in little-endian modeNeil Campbell2009-12-181-17/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the handling of VSX alignment faults in little-endian mode (the current code assumes the processor is in big-endian mode). The patch also makes the handlers clear the top 8 bytes of the register when handling an 8 byte VSX load. This is based on 2.6.32.

* powerpc: Create PPC_WARN_ALIGNMENT to match PPC_WARN_EMULATEDAnton Blanchard2009-10-281-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | perf_event wants a separate event for alignment and emulation faults, so create another emulation event. This will make it easy to hook in perf_event at one spot. We pass in regs which will be required for these events. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* powerpc: Keep track of emulated instructionsGeert Uytterhoeven2009-05-211-4/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | If CONFIG_PPC_EMULATED_STATS is enabled, make available counters for the various classes of emulated instructions under /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/ (assumed debugfs is mounted on /sys/kernel/debug). Optionally (controlled by /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/do_warn), rate-limited warnings can be printed to the console when instructions are emulated.

* powerpc: Fix load/store float double alignment handlerMichael Neuling2009-02-231-16/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | When we introduced VSX, we changed the way FPRs are stored in the thread_struct. Unfortunately we missed the load/store float double alignment handler code when updating how we access FPRs in the thread_struct. Below fixes this and merges the little/big endian case.

* powerpc: Add alignment handler for new lfiwzx instructionMichael Neuling2009-02-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | lfiwzx is a new floating point load instruction in 2.06 that needs an alignment handler for Linux. Turns out to be the worlds easiest handler to add. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

* powerpc: Fix uninitialised variable in VSX alignment codeMichael Neuling2008-09-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This fixes an uninitialised variable in the VSX alignment code. It can cause warnings from GCC (noticed with gcc-4.1.1). Gcc is actually correct in this instance, and this bug could cause the alignment interrupt handler to send a SIGSEGV to the process on a legitimate access.

* powerpc: Add VSX load/store alignment exception handlerMichael Neuling2008-07-151-1/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | VSX loads and stores will take an alignment exception when the address is not on a 4 byte boundary. This add support for these alignment exceptions and will emulate the requested load or store.

* [POWERPC] Handle alignment faults on new FP load/store instructionsPaul Mackerras2007-08-171-8/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds code to handle alignment traps generated by the following new floating-point load/store instructions, by emulating the instruction in the kernel (as is done for other instructions that generate alignment traps): lfiwax load floating-point as integer word algebraic indexed stfiwx store floating-point as integer word indexed lfdp load floating-point double pair lfdpx load floating-point double pair indexed stfdp store floating-point double pair stfdpx store floating-point double pair indexed All these except stfiwx are new in POWER6. lfdp/lfdpx/stfdp/stfdpx load and store 16 bytes of memory into an even/odd FP register pair. In little-endian mode each 8-byte value is byte-reversed separately (i.e. not as a 16-byte unit). lfiwax/stfiwx load or store the lower 4 bytes of a floating-point register from/to memory; lfiwax sets the upper 4 bytes of the FP register to the sign extension of the value loaded.

* [POWERPC] Alignment exception uses __get/put_user_inatomicBenjamin Herrenschmidt2007-04-131-25/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the alignment exception handler use the new _inatomic variants of __get/put_user. This fixes erroneous warnings in the very rare cases where we manage to have copy_tofrom_user_inatomic() trigger an alignment exception.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctlPaul Mackerras2006-06-091-71/+118
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change their endian mode via prctl. This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for "PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian. We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian user/kernel ABI. If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is restored to what it was when the signal was delivered. We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and one for true little-endian. Most of the classic 32-bit processors support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature table. There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry. This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* [PATCH] powerpc: merge align.cBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-11-181-0/+530
This patch merges align.c, the result isn't quite what was in ppc64 nor what was in ppc32 :) It should implement all the functionalities of both though. Kumar, since you played with that in the past, I suppose you have some test cases for verifying that it works properly before I dig out the 601 machine ? :) Since it's likely that I won't be able to test all scenario, code inspection is much welcome.
