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

This switches the CONFIG_PPC64 support for 32-bit ELF to use the
generic fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c implementation instead of our own
binfmt_elf32.c. Since so much is the same between 32/64, there is
only one macro we have to define to make the generic support work out
of the box.Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath

This switches powerpc to using the user_regset-based code for ELF core
dumps. The core dumps come out exactly the same either way, except that
the NT_PPC_VMX note is now omitted for any thread that never touched its
Altivec registers (thread_struct.vr_used).Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath

include/asm-powerpc/elf.h has 6 entries in ARCH_DLINFO. fs/binfmt_elf.c
has 14 unconditional NEW_AUX_ENT entries and 2 conditional NEW_AUX_ENT
entries. So in the worst case, saved_auxv does not get an AT_NULL entry at
the end.The saved_auxv array must be terminated with an AT_NULL entry. Make the
size of mm_struct->saved_auxv arch dependend, based on the number of
ARCH_DLINFO entries.Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering

Update dump_task_altivec() (which has so far never been put to use) so that
it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the
same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue
typedef and #defines to make it work.A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because
it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and
0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.Signed-off-by: Mark Nelson

To start with, arch_notes_size() etc. is a little too ambiguous a name for
my liking, so change the function names to be more explicit.Calling through macros is ugly, especially with hidden parameters, so don't
do that, call the routines directly.Use ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_ELF_NOTES as the only flag, and based on it decide
whether we want the extern declarations or the empty versions.Since we have empty routines, actually use them in the coredump code to
save a few #ifdefs.We want to change the handling of foffset so that the write routine updates
foffset as it goes, instead of using file->f_pos (so that writing to a pipe
works). So pass foffset to the write routine, and for now just set it to
file->f_pos at the end of writing.It should also be possible for the write routine to fail, so change it to
return int and treat a non-zero return as failure.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

I often test new versions of glibc by doing:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/XXX/lib /XXX/lib/ld.so.1
One test case ended up SEGV'ing. Upon closer inspection ld.so was loaded
at 0x8000000 (128MB) with the heap right after it. Since we normally
link binaries at 0x10000000 (256MB) we only had about 128MB of space for
the heap:00100000-00103000 r-xp 00100000 00:00 0 [vdso]

This allows 128MB for the binary (hopefully enough for even the most

It may be desireable to build a kernel for cell without
spufs, e.g. as the initial kboot kernel. This requires
that the SPU specific parts of the core dump and the xmon
code depend on CONFIG_SPU_BASE instead of CONFIG_PPC_CELL.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note
for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1,
/signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status,
/mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id.A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to
specify they have extra elf core notes.A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the
additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry.A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes
would be written after the existing notes.The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the
kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via
register_arch_coredump_calls().A new set of __spufs__read/get() functions was provided to allow the
coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the
SPU context for each file read from.Cc:

This patch cleans up some locking & error handling in the ppc vdso and
moves the vdso base pointer from the thread struct to the mm context
where it more logically belongs. It brings the powerpc implementation
closer to Ingo's new x86 one and also adds an arch_vma_name() function
allowing to print [vsdo] in /proc//maps if Ingo's x86 vdso patch is
also applied.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

The glibc folks want to use AT_PLATFORM to select between possible
alternative versions of shared libraries. This commit makes the kernel
supply an AT_PLATFORM string that indicates what class of processor
we are running on. Processors with the same set of user-level
instructions and roughly the same instruction scheduling characteristics
are given the same AT_PLATFORM value; for example, 821, 823 and 860
are all reported as "ppc823", and 7447, 7447A, 7448, 7450, 7451, 7455
are all called "ppc7450".The intention is that the AT_PLATFORM values match the values that
gcc accepts for the -mcpu= option. For values which are numeric
(e.g. -mcpu=750), "ppc" has been prepended.This also adds a PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE bit to the AT_HWCAP value and sets
it for the 440 family and the Freescale 85xx family.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that
are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does
not have this yet.This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases
where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified
that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__
any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when
including any of the headers in user space libraries.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

The merged verison of ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS is basically the PPC64 version, with
a memset that came from PPC and a few types abstracted out into #defines. But
it's not _quite_ right.The first problem is we calculate the number of registers with:
nregs = sizeof(struct pt_regs) / sizeof(ELF_GREG_TYPE)For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's bogus because the registers are
64 bits, but ELF_GREG_TYPE is u32, so nregs == 88 which is wrong.The other problem is the memset, which assumes a struct pt_regs is smaller
than a struct elf_regs. For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's false.The fix is to calculate the number of regs using sizeof(unsigned long), which
should always be right, and just memset the whole damn thing _before_ copying
the registers in.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
