  • e8222502e   [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers ... Browse Code »

    This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
    powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
    board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
    macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
    device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

    We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
    _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
    changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
    _machine.

  • 88ced0314   [PATCH] powerpc: sanitize header files for user space includes ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 0c37ec2aa   [PATCH] powerpc: vdso fixes (take #2) ... Browse Code »

    This fixes various errors in the new functions added in the vDSO's,
    I've now verified all functions on both 32 and 64 bits vDSOs. It also
    fix a sign extension bug getting the initial time of day at boot that
    could cause the monotonic clock value to be completely on bogus for
    64 bits applications (with either the vDSO or the syscall) on
    powermacs.

  • a7f290dad   [PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel ... Browse Code »

    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.
