2013-09-07powerpc: Work around gcc miscompilation of __pa() on 64-bitPaul Mackerras
commit bdbc29c19b2633b1d9c52638fb732bcde7a2031a upstream. On 64-bit, __pa(&static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of gcc as something like: addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top nibble. This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least. To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator, and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator. Using an AND operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add it on. (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.)

2012-09-28Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.hDavid Howells
Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela, ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS. Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

2012-09-17powerpc: Add denormalisation exception handling for POWER6/7Michael Neuling
On POWER6 and POWER7 if the input operand to an instruction is a denormalised single precision binary floating point value we can take a denormalisation exception where it's expected that the hypervisor (HV=1) will fix up the inputs before the instruction is run. This adds code to handle this denormalisation exception for POWER6 and POWER7. It also add a CONFIG_PPC_DENORMALISATION option and sets it in pseries/ppc64_defconfig. This is useful on bare metal systems only. Based on patch from Milton Miller. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
