powerpc/lib: Add helper to check if offset is within conditional branch range

2021-11-18T13:04:29+00:00

upstream commit 4549c3ea3160fa8b3f37dfe2f957657bb265eda9 Add a helper to check if a given offset is within the branch range for a powerpc conditional branch instruction, and update some sites to use the new helper.

powerpc/64s: Fix instruction encoding for lis in ppc_function_entry()

2021-03-17T16:06:35+00:00

commit cea15316ceee2d4a51dfdecd79e08a438135416c upstream. 'lis r2,N' is 'addis r2,0,N' and the instruction encoding in the macro LIS_R2 is incorrect (it currently maps to 'addis r0,r2,N'). Fix the same. Fixes: c71b7eff426f ("powerpc: Add ABIv2 support to ppc_function_entry") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.16+ Reported-by: Jiri Olsa Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

powerpc: Use a datatype for instructions

2020-05-18T14:10:37+00:00

Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc. This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words. However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction. No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first. Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64. Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively have word instructions on powerpc32.

powerpc: Use a macro for creating instructions from u32s

2020-05-18T14:10:36+00:00

In preparation for instructions having a more complex data type start using a macro, ppc_inst(), for making an instruction out of a u32. A macro is used so that instructions can be used as initializer elements. Currently this does nothing, but it will allow for creating a data type that can represent prefixed instructions.

powerpc: Change calling convention for create_branch() et. al.

2020-05-18T14:10:36+00:00

create_branch(), create_cond_branch() and translate_branch() return the instruction that they create, or return 0 to signal an error. Separate these concerns in preparation for an instruction type that is not just an unsigned int. Fill the created instruction to a pointer passed as the first parameter to the function and use a non-zero return value to signify an error.

powerpc/asm: Add a patch_site macro & helpers for patching instructions

2018-08-07T14:32:25+00:00

Add a macro and some helper C functions for patching single asm instructions. The gas macro means we can do something like: 1: nop patch_site 1b, patch__foo Which is less visually distracting than defining a GLOBAL symbol at 1, and also doesn't pollute the symbol table which can confuse eg. perf. These are obviously similar to our existing feature sections, but are not automatically patched based on CPU/MMU features, rather they are designed to be manually patched by C code at some arbitrary point.
