powerpc: Add jump label support

2011-07-01T03:48:55Z

This patch adds support for the new "jump label" feature. Unlike x86 and sparc we just merrily patch the code with no locks etc, as far as I know this is safe, but I'm not really sure what the x86/sparc code is protecting against so maybe it's not. I also don't see any reason for us to implement the poke_early() routine, even though sparc does.

powerpc/ftrace: Implement raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC

2011-05-26T03:38:57Z

This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports them for ftrace syscalls to use. To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the _TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing is enabled. In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that start with a period.

powerpc: Remove unused config in the Makefile

2011-05-19T04:30:40Z

The patch below removes an unused config variable found by using a kernel cleanup script. Note: I did try to cross compile these but hit erros while doing so.. (gcc is not setup to cross compile) and am unsure if anymore needs to be done. Please have a look if/when anybody has free time. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

powerpc: Add A2 cpu support

2011-04-27T03:02:02Z

Add the cputable entry, regs and setup & restore entries for the PowerPC A2 core. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Add NAP mode support on Power7 in HV mode

2011-04-20T01:03:24Z

Wakeup comes from the system reset handler with a potential loss of the non-hypervisor CPU state. We save the non-volatile state on the stack and a pointer to it in the PACA, which the system reset handler uses to restore things Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Define CPU feature for Architected 2.06 HV mode

2011-04-20T01:03:22Z

This bit indicates that we are operating in hypervisor mode on a CPU compliant to architecture 2.06 or later (currently server only). We set it on POWER7 and have a boot-time CPU setup function that clears it if MSR:HV isn't set (booting under a hypervisor). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Consolidate obj-y assignments

KVM: PPC: Generic KVM PV guest support

2010-10-24T08:50:50Z

We have all the hypervisor pieces in place now, but the guest parts are still missing. This patch implements basic awareness of KVM when running Linux as guest. It doesn't do anything with it yet though. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity
