powerpc/64: Use array of paca pointers and allocate pacas individually

2018-03-30T12:34:23Z

Change the paca array into an array of pointers to pacas. Allocate pacas individually. This allows flexibility in where the PACAs are allocated. Future work will allocate them node-local. Platforms that don't have address limits on PACAs would be able to defer PACA allocations until later in boot rather than allocate all possible ones up-front then freeing unused. This is slightly more overhead (one additional indirection) for cross CPU paca references, but those aren't too common. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/64: Rename soft_enabled to irq_soft_mask

2018-01-19T11:37:01Z

Rename the paca->soft_enabled to paca->irq_soft_mask as it is no longer used as a flag for interrupt state, but a mask. Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/64: Add #defines for paca->soft_enabled flags

2018-01-19T11:36:56Z

Two #defines IRQS_ENABLED and IRQS_DISABLED are added to be used when updating paca->soft_enabled. Replace the hardcoded values used when updating paca->soft_enabled with IRQ_(EN|DIS)ABLED #define. No logic change. Reviewed-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/powernv: Avoid waiting for secondary hold spinloop with OPAL

2017-11-10T11:00:54Z

OPAL boot does not insert secondaries at 0x60 to wait at the secondary hold spinloop. Instead they are started later, and inserted at generic_secondary_smp_init(), which is after the secondary hold spinloop. Avoid waiting on this spinloop when booting with OPAL firmware. This wait always times out that case. This saves 100ms boot time on powernv, and 10s of seconds of real time when booting on the simulator in SMP.

powerpc/asm: Convert .llong directives to .8byte

2017-08-31T04:26:47Z

.llong is an undocumented PPC specific directive. The generic equivalent is .quad, but even better (because it's self describing) is .8byte. Convert all .llong directives to .8byte. Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

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 ...
