[POWERPC] Fix compilation for CONFIG_DEBUGGER=n and CONFIG_KEXEC=y

2008-02-07T00:40:18Z

Looks like "[POWERPC] kdump shutdown hook support" broke builds when CONFIG_DEBUGGER=n and CONFIG_KEXEC=y, such as in g5_defconfig: arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c: In function 'default_machine_crash_shutdown': arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c:388: error: '__debugger_fault_handler' undeclared (first use in this function) arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c:388: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c:388: error: for each function it appears in.) Move the debugger hooks to under CONFIG_DEBUGGER || CONFIG_KEXEC, since that's when the crash code is enabled. (I should have caught this with my build-script pre-merge, my bad. :( ) Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Reworking machine check handling and Fix 440/440A

2007-12-23T19:11:59Z

This adds a cputable function pointer for the CPU-side machine check handling. The semantic is still the same as the old one, the one in ppc_md. overrides the one in cputable, though ultimately we'll want to change that so the CPU gets first. This removes CONFIG_440A which was a problem for multiplatform kernels and instead fixes up the IVOR at runtime from a setup_cpu function. The "A" version of the machine check also tweaks the regs->trap value to differenciate the 2 versions at the C level. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer

[POWERPC] Emulate isel (Integer Select) instruction

2007-12-11T19:57:16Z

isel (Integer Select) is a new user space instruction in the PowerISA 2.04 spec. Not all processors implement it so lets emulate to ensure code built with isel will run everywhere. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala

Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)

2007-10-19T18:53:43Z

One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log. There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes so for arch/xxx files. It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the printks in arch code.

pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()

2007-10-19T18:53:37Z

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

[POWERPC] Implement logging of unhandled signals

2007-10-12T04:05:18Z

Implement show_unhandled_signals sysctl + support to print when a process is killed due to unhandled signals just as i386 and x86_64 does. Default to having it off, unlike x86 that defaults on. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] 8xx: Move softemu8xx.c from arch/ppc

2007-10-04T16:02:54Z

Previously, Soft_emulate_8xx was called with no implementation, resulting in build failures whenever building 8xx without math emulation. The implementation is copied from arch/ppc to resolve this issue. However, this sort of minimal emulation is not a very good idea other than for compatibility with existing userspaces, as it's less efficient than soft-float and can mislead users into believing they have soft-float. Thus, it is made a configurable option, off by default. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala

[POWERPC] Separate out legacy machine check exception parsers

2007-10-02T23:11:58Z

Move out the old-style exception parsers to a separate function, and don't call it on platforms that have a platform-specific handler. It would make sense to move out the generic versions into their platforms instead, but that can be done gradually down the road. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Remove unused platform_machine_check()

2007-09-13T15:33:22Z

Remove leftover cruft from ARCH=ppc. There are no users of platform_machine_check() in ARCH=powerpc, and none should be added (they should use ppc_md.machine_check_handler instead). Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Fix FSL BookE machine check reporting

2007-08-17T18:22:28Z

Reserved MCSR bits on FSL BookE parts may have spurious values when mcheck occurs. Mask these off when printing the MCSR to avoid confusion. Also, get rid of the MCSR_GL_CI bit defined for e500 - this bit doesn't actually have any meaning. Signed-off-by: Becky Bruce Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala
