powerpc: Fix typo in uImage target

2010-08-26T23:44:03Z

commit c686ecf5040d287a68d4fca7f1948472f556a6d3 upstream. Commit e32e78c5ee8aadef020fbaecbe6fb741ed9029fd (powerpc: fix build with make 3.82) introduced a typo in uImage target and broke building uImage: make: *** No rule to make target `uImage'. Stop.

powerpc: fix build with make 3.82

2010-08-13T20:27:10Z

commit e32e78c5ee8aadef020fbaecbe6fb741ed9029fd upstream. Thomas Backlund reported that the powerpc build broke with make 3.82. It failed with the following message: arch/powerpc/Makefile:183: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. The fix is to avoid mixing non-wildcard and wildcard targets.

powerpc: Check for unsupported relocs when using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE

2009-09-24T05:31:40Z

When using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, we build the kernel as a position independent executable. The kernel then uses a little bit of relocation code to relocate itself. That code only deals with R_PPC64_RELATIVE relocations though. If for some reason you use assembly constructs such as LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() to load the address of a symbol, you'll generate different kinds of relocations that won't be processed properly and bad things will happen. (We have 2 such bugs today). The perl script tries to filter out "known" bad ones. It's possible that we are missing some in the case of a weak function that nobody implements, we'll see if we get false positive and fix it.

arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0

2009-09-20T10:28:22Z

Albin Tonnerre reported: Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them. This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds. This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile, or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh) Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script. This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where it is used. Notes for the different architectures touched: arm - we use an already exported symbol cris - we use a config symbol aleady available [Not build tested] mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it. Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by the linker script. [Not build tested] powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed [not build tested] sparc - simplified it using $(BITS) um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this xtensa - added options to CPP invocation [not build tested] Cc: Albin Tonnerre Cc: Russell King Cc: Mikael Starvik Cc: Jesper Nilsson Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: "David S.

kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script

2009-09-20T10:18:14Z

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL to select a custom installkernel script when running make: make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install With this patch we are now more consistent across different architectures - they did not all support use of CROSS_COMPILE. The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change just because we change toolchain. The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no longer be installable. [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint] This patch undos what Ian did in commit: 0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.

powerpc: Move VMX and VSX asm code to vector.S

2009-06-09T06:46:25Z

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

powerpc/math-emu: Fix efp dependence

powerpc: Remove unncessary SPE related compiler flag

2008-12-03T14:19:10Z

After testing of various compiler flag combinations by Nate Case it was determined that -mabi=no-spe has no impact on the compiler generating SPE instructions. Only -mno-spe and -mspe=no do. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala

ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER

2008-10-20T16:27:03Z

Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same. This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.
