powerpc: Change places using CONFIG_KEXEC to use CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead.

2016-11-30T12:15:11Z

Commit 2965faa5e03d ("kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code") introduced CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE so that CONFIG_KEXEC means whether the kexec_load system call should be compiled-in and CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE means whether the kexec_file_load system call should be compiled-in. These options can be set independently from each other. Since until now powerpc only supported kexec_load, CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE were synonyms. That is not the case anymore, so we need to make a distinction. Almost all places where CONFIG_KEXEC was being used should be using CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead, since kexec_file_load also needs that code compiled in.

powerpc/64e: Convert cmpi to cmpwi in head_64.S

2016-11-28T11:32:29Z

From 80f23935cadb ("powerpc: Convert cmp to cmpd in idle enter sequence"): PowerPC's "cmp" instruction has four operands. Normally people write "cmpw" or "cmpd" for the second cmp operand 0 or 1. But, frequently people forget, and write "cmp" with just three operands. With older binutils this is silently accepted as if this was "cmpw", while often "cmpd" is wanted. With newer binutils GAS will complain about this for 64-bit code. For 32-bit code it still silently assumes "cmpw" is what is meant. In this case, cmpwi is called for, so this is just a build fix for new toolchains. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.0+ Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Merge branch 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

2016-10-14T21:26:58Z

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek: - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro. This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is working on a patch to fix this. Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely change prototypes. - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick Piggin - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan. - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me. * 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: (22 commits) initramfs: Escape colons in depfile ppc: there is no clear_pages to export powerpc/64: whitelist unresolved modversions CRCs kbuild: -ffunction-sections fix for archs with conflicting sections kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile kbuild: allow archs to select link dead code/data elimination kbuild: allow architectures to use thin archives instead of ld -r kbuild: Regenerate genksyms lexer kbuild: genksyms fix for typeof handling fixdep: faster CONFIG_ search ia64: move exports to definitions sparc32: debride memcpy.S a bit [sparc] unify 32bit and 64bit string.h sparc: move exports to definitions ppc: move exports to definitions arm: move exports to definitions s390: move exports to definitions m68k: move exports to definitions alpha: move exports to actual definitions x86: move exports to actual definitions ...

powerpc: Use gas sections for arranging exception vectors

2016-10-04T02:06:56Z

Use assembler sections of fixed size and location to arrange the 64-bit Book3S exception vector code (64-bit Book3E also uses it in head_64.S for 0x0..0x100). This allows better flexibility in arranging exception code and hiding unimportant details behind macros. Gas sections can be a bit painful to use this way, mainly because the assembler does not know where they will be finally linked. Taking absolute addresses requires a bit of trickery for example, but it can be hidden behind macros for the most part. Generated code is mostly the same except locations, offsets, alignments. The "+ 0x2" is only required for the trap number / kvm exit number, which gets loaded as a constant into a register. Previously, code also used + 0x2 for label names, but we changed to using "H" to distinguish HV case for that. Remove the last vestiges of that. __after_prom_start is taking absolute address of a label in another fixed section. Newer toolchains seemed to compile this okay, but older ones do not. FIXED_SYMBOL_ABS_ADDR is more foolproof, it just takes an additional line to define. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/64: Change the way relocation copy is calculated

2016-10-04T02:06:55Z

With a subsequent patch to put text into different sections, (_end - _stext) can no longer be computed at link time to determine the end of the copy. Instead, calculate it at runtime with (copy_to_here - _stext) + (_end - copy_to_here). Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Define and use PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2/v1

2016-06-14T03:58:27Z

We're approaching 20 locations where we need to check for ELF ABI v2. That's fine, except the logic is a bit awkward, because we have to check that _CALL_ELF is defined and then what its value is. So check it once in asm/types.h and define PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 when ELF ABI v2 is detected. We also have a few places where what we're really trying to check is that we are using the 64-bit v1 ABI, ie. function descriptors. So also add a #define for that, which simplifies several checks.
