powerpc/addnote: Fix overflow on 32-bit builds

2026-01-02T11:57:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 825ce89a3ef17f84cf2c0eacfa6b8dc9fd11d13f ] The PUT_64[LB]E() macros need to cast the value to unsigned long long like the GET_64[LB]E() macros. Caused lots of warnings when compiled on 32-bit, and clobbered addresses (36-bit P4080).

arch/powerpc: Remove support for older GCC and binutils

Commit 118c40b7b503 ("kbuild: require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30") raised minimum GCC_VERSION and LD_VERSION. Simplify powerpc build accordingly.

powerpc: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in non-uapi headers

2025-09-01T07:53:29+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), apart from tweaking two comments manually in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bug.h and arch/powerpc/include/asm/kasan.h (which did not have proper underscores at the end) and fixing a checkpatch error about spaces in arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu_csa.h.

powerpc: use always-y instead of extra-y in Makefiles

2025-08-20T08:32:13+00:00

The extra-y syntax is planned for deprecation because it is similar to always-y. When building the boot wrapper, always-y and extra-y are equivalent. Use always-y instead. In arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile, I added ifdef KBUILD_BUILTIN to keep the current behavior: prom_init_check is skipped when building only modular objects.

powerpc/microwatt: Correct ISA version number in device tree

The kernel uses 3100 to indicate ISA version 3.1, not 3010, so fix the Microwatt device tree to use 3100. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Link: https://patch.msgid.link/aB6taMDWvJwOl9xj@bruin
