powerpc: kgdb: Remove OUTBUFMAX constant

2026-01-29T03:36:01+00:00

This constant was introduced in commit 17ce452f7ea3 ("kgdb, powerpc: arch specific powerpc kgdb support"), but it is no longer used anywhere in the source tree.

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: Change CONFIG_E500 to CONFIG_PPC_E500

2022-09-26T13:00:13+00:00

It will be used outside arch/powerpc, make it clear its a powerpc configuration item. And we already have CONFIG_PPC_E500MC, so that will make it more consistent.

powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm

2008-08-04T02:02:00+00:00

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
