* powerpc: Ensure the else case of feature sections will fitMichael Ellerman2011-01-211-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we create an alternative feature section, the else case must be the same size or smaller than the body. This is because when we patch the else case in we just overwrite the body, so there must be room. Up to now we just did this by inspection, but it's quite easy to enforce it in the assembler, so we should. The only change is to add the ifgt block, but that effects the alignment of the tabs and so the whole macro is modified. Also add a test, but #if 0 it because we don't want to break the build. Anyone who's modifying the feature macros should enable the test. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtimeKumar Gala2008-07-031-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync at runtime. On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up the code. We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'. We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is needed. This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it for the normal CPU_FTR purpose. Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.

* powerpc: Fix building of feature-fixup tests on ppc32Kumar Gala2008-07-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | We need to use PPC_LCMPI otherwise we get compile errors like: arch/powerpc/lib/feature-fixups-test.S: Assembler messages: arch/powerpc/lib/feature-fixups-test.S:142: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `cmpdi' arch/powerpc/lib/feature-fixups-test.S:149: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `cmpdi' arch/powerpc/lib/feature-fixups-test.S:164: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `cmpdi' Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* powerpc: Add self-tests of the feature fixup codeMichael Ellerman2008-07-011-0/+727
This commit adds tests of the feature fixup code, they are run during boot if CONFIG_FTR_FIXUP_SELFTEST=y. Some of the tests manually invoke the patching routines to check their behaviour, and others use the macros and so are patched during the normal patching done during boot. Because we have two sets of macros with different names, we use a macro to generate the test of the macros, very niiiice.
