* powerpc: Remove second definition of STACK_FRAME_OVERHEADStephen Rothwell2010-11-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | Since STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD is defined in asm/ptrace.h and that is ASSEMBER safe, we can just include that instead of going via asm-offsets.h. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* powerpc: Fix usage of 64-bit instruction in 32-bit altivec codeBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-12-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | e821ea70f3b4873b50056a1e0f74befed1014c09 introduced a bug by copying some 64-bit originated code as-is to be used by both 32 and 64-bit but this code contains a 64-bit ony "cmpdi" instruction. This changes it to cmpwi, which is fine since VRSAVE can only contains a 32-bit value anyway. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> CC: <stable@kernel.org>
* powerpc: Use names rather than numbers for SPRGs (v2)Benjamin Herrenschmidt2009-08-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer. We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc.. and the current choice isn't always the best. This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to what those are used for on each processor family. The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all the SPRGs.

* powerpc: Fix another bug in move of altivec code to vector.SAndreas Schwab2009-07-151-3/+3
| | | | | | | | When moving load_up_altivec to vector.S a typo in a comment caused a thinko setting the wrong variable. Signed-off-by: Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* powerpc: Move VMX and VSX asm code to vector.SBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-06-091-0/+210
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, load_up_altivec and give_up_altivec are duplicated in 32-bit and 64-bit. This creates a common implementation that is moved away from head_32.S, head_64.S and misc_64.S and into vector.S, using the same macros we already use for our common implementation of load_up_fpu. I also moved the VSX code over to vector.S though in that case I didn't make it build on 32-bit (yet). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

* [POWERPC] 64bit FPSCR supportAnton Blanchard2006-06-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Forthcoming machines will extend the FPSCR to 64 bits. We already had a 64-bit save area for the FPSCR, but we need to use a new form of the mtfsf instruction. Fortunately this new form is decoded as an ordinary mtfsf by existing 64-bit processors. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* powerpc: Use reg.h instead of processor.h when we just want reg namesPaul Mackerras2005-10-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | Now that the register names and bit definitions are all in reg.h, use that instead of processor.h in assembly code in a few places. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.Paul Mackerras2005-09-261-0/+197
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.
