kernel.git/arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c, branch linux-2.6.28.y

Remove asm/a.out.h files for all architectures without a.out support.

2008-09-06T18:30:24Z

This patch also includes the required removal of (unused) inclusion of 's in the arch/ code for these architectures. [dwmw2: updated for 2.6.27-rc] Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

powerpc: BookE hardware watchpoint support

2008-07-25T05:44:39Z

This patch implements support for HW based watchpoint via the DBSR_DAC (Data Address Compare) facility of the BookE processors. It does so by interfacing with the existing DABR breakpoint code and adding the necessary bits and pieces for the new bits to be properly set or cleared Signed-off-by: Luis Machado Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support

2008-07-01T01:28:50Z

This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available, as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits. Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state. The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31 doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers. Backward compatibility is maintained. The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full registers. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

powerpc/booke: Add kprobes support for booke style processors

2008-06-26T08:35:46Z

This patch is based on work done by Madhvesh. R. Sulibhavi back in March 2007. We refactor some of the single step handling since it differs between "classic" and "booke" powerpc cores. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala

[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
