powerpc32: memset: only use dcbz once cache is enabled

2015-09-17T00:36:53Z

memset() uses instruction dcbz to speed up clearing by not wasting time loading cache line with data that will be overwritten. Some platform like mpc52xx do no have cache active at startup and can therefore not use memset(). Allthough no part of the code explicitly uses memset(), GCC may make calls to it. This patch modifies memset() such that at startup, memset() unconditionally skip the optimised bloc that uses dcbz instruction. Once the initial MMU is set up, in machine_init() we patch memset() by replacing this inconditional jump by a NOP Tested-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc32: memcpy: only use dcbz once cache is enabled

2015-09-17T00:36:44Z

memcpy() uses instruction dcbz to speed up copy by not wasting time loading cache line with data that will be overwritten. Some platform like mpc52xx do no have cache active at startup and can therefore not use memcpy(). Allthough no part of the code explicitly uses memcpy(), GCC makes calls to it. This patch modifies memcpy() such that at startup, memcpy() unconditionally jumps to generic_memcpy() which doesn't use the dcbz instruction.

powerpc: Remove unused vgacon_remap_base & fix build break

2014-11-09T22:59:31Z

The build is broken with CONFIG_PPC32=y, CONFIG_FB_VGA16=y and CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=n. The problem is that vgacon_remap_base is not defined. It's used in: #define VGA_MAP_MEM(x,s) (x + vgacon_remap_base) Which is used in the vga16fb.c code. Digging down it seems vgacon_remap_base is never initialised. It used to be, back in arch/ppc (pplus.c and prep_setup.c), but none of that code ever made it to arch/powerpc. So given it's been unused for >6 years, remove it. Whether vga16fb.c works on 32-bit is another question, but this patch shouldn't affect it. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Remove superfluous bootmem includes

2014-11-09T22:59:26Z

Lots of places included bootmem.h even when not using bootmem. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Tested-by: Emil Medve Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Remove bootmem allocator

2014-11-09T22:59:25Z

At the moment we transition from the memblock alloctor to the bootmem allocator. Gitting rid of the bootmem allocator removes a bunch of complicated code (most of which I owe the dubious honour of being responsible for writing).

powerpc: Remove powerpc specific cmd_line

2014-10-02T07:33:55Z

There is no need for yet another copy of the command line, just use boot_command_line like everyone else. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Make boot_cpuid common between 32 and 64-bit

2014-04-07T00:33:14Z

Move the definition to setup-common.c and set the init value to -1 on both 32 and 64-bit (it was 0 on 64-bit). Additionally add a check to prom.c to garantee that the init value has been udpated after the DT scan. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/ppc32: Fix the bug in the init of non-base exception stack for UP

2014-02-11T00:24:52Z

We would allocate one specific exception stack for each kind of non-base exceptions for every CPU. For ppc32 the CPU hard ID is used as the subscript to get the specific exception stack for one CPU. But for an UP kernel, there is only one element in the each kind of exception stack array. We would get stuck if the CPU hard ID is not equal to '0'. So in this case we should use the subscript '0' no matter what the CPU hard ID is. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Clean up panic_timeout usage

2013-11-26T11:12:28Z

Default CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT to 180 seconds on powerpc. The pSeries continue to set the timeout to 10 seconds at run-time. Thus, there's a small window where we don't have the correct value on pSeries, but if this is only run-time discoverable we don't have a better option. In any case, if the user changes the default setting of 180 seconds, we honor that user setting.

powerpc: Move local setup.h declarations to arch includes

2013-10-30T05:00:31Z

Move the few declarations from arch/powerpc/kernel/setup.h into arch/powerpc/include/asm/setup.h. This resolves a sparse warning for arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c which defines do_init_bootmem() but can't include the setup.h header in the prior path. Resolves: arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:998:13: warning: symbol 'do_init_bootmem' was not declared. Should it be static? Signed-off-by: Robert C Jennings Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt
