powerpc: retire sbc8548 board support

2021-08-26T14:48:11+00:00

The support was for this was mainlined 13 years ago, in v2.6.25 [0e0fffe88767] just around the ppc --> powerpc migration. I believe the board was introduced a year or two before that, so it is roughly a 15 year old platform - with the CPU speed and memory size that was typical for that era. I haven't had one of these boards for several years, and availability was discontinued several years before that. Given that, there is no point in adding a burden to testing coverage that builds all possible defconfigs, so it makes sense to remove it. Of course it will remain in the git history forever, for anyone who happens to find a functional board and wants to tinker with it.

kbuild: replace LANG=C with LC_ALL=C

2021-05-01T15:43:35+00:00

LANG gives a weak default to each LC_* in case it is not explicitly defined. LC_ALL, if set, overrides all other LC_* variables. LANG < LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, ... < LC_ALL This is why documentation such as [1] suggests to set LC_ALL in build scripts to get the deterministic result. LANG=C is not strong enough to override LC_* that may be set by end users.

powerpc/boot/wrapper: Add "-z notext" flag to disable diagnostic

2020-11-26T11:05:43+00:00

The "-z notext" flag disables reporting an error if DT_TEXTREL is set. ld.lld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_PPC64_ADDR64 against symbol: _start in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC or pass '-Wl,-z,notext' to allow text relocations in the output >>> defined in >>> referenced by crt0.o:(.text+0x8) in archive arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper.a The BFD linker disables this by default (though it's configurable in current versions). LLD enables this by default. So we add the flag to keep LLD from emitting the error.

powerpc/boot/wrapper: Add "-z rodynamic" when using LLD

2020-11-26T11:05:43+00:00

Normally all read-only sections precede SHF_WRITE sections. .dynamic and .got have the SHF_WRITE flag; .dynamic probably because of DT_DEBUG. LLD emits an error when this happens, so use "-z rodynamic" to mark .dynamic as read-only.

powerpc: Remove Xilinx PPC405/PPC440 support

2020-05-28T13:24:34+00:00

The latest Xilinx design tools called ISE and EDK has been released in October 2013. New tool doesn't support any PPC405/PPC440 new designs. These platforms are no longer supported and tested. PowerPC 405/440 port is orphan from 2013 by commit cdeb89943bfc ("MAINTAINERS: Fix incorrect status tag") and commit 19624236cce1 ("MAINTAINERS: Update Grant's email address and maintainership") that's why it is time to remove the support fot these platforms.

powerpc: Add support for adding an ESM blob to the zImage wrapper

2019-08-29T23:53:29+00:00

For secure VMs, the signing tool will create a ticket called the "ESM blob" for the Enter Secure Mode ultravisor call with the signatures of the kernel and initrd among other things. This adds support to the wrapper script for adding that blob via the "-e" option to the zImage.pseries. It also adds code to the zImage wrapper itself to retrieve and if necessary relocate the blob, and pass its address to Linux via the device-tree, to be later consumed by prom_init.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Notable changes: - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver, as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't (yet?) made it upstream. - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and kernel crashes. - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for vmalloc when using the Radix MMU. - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros. And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.
