powerpc/32: Restore disabling of interrupts at interrupt/syscall exit

2025-12-22T12:55:07+00:00

Commit 2997876c4a1a ("powerpc/32: Restore clearing of MSR[RI] at interrupt/syscall exit") delayed clearing of MSR[RI], but missed that both MSR[RI] and MSR[EE] are cleared at the same time, so the commit also delayed the disabling of interrupts, leading to unexpected behaviour. To fix that, mostly revert the blamed commit and restore the clearing of MSR[RI] in interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() instead. For 8xx it implies adding a synchronising instruction after the mtspr in order to make sure no instruction counter interrupt (used for perf events) will fire just after clearing MSR[RI].

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: rename SPRN_HID2 define to SPRN_HID2_750FX

2024-05-07T14:25:00+00:00

This register number is hardware-specific, rename it for clarity. FIXME comments are added in a few places where it seems like the wrong register is used. As I can't test this, only the rename is done with no functional change.

powerpc: Add Power11 architected and raw mode

2024-02-21T12:11:00+00:00

Add CPU table entries for raw and architected mode. Most fields are copied from the Power10 table entries. CPU, MMU and user (ELF_HWCAP) features are unchanged vs P10. However userspace can detect P11 because the AT_PLATFORM value changes to "power11". The logical PVR value of 0x0F000007, passed to firmware via the ibm_arch_vec, indicates the kernel can support a P11 compatible CPU, which means at least ISA v3.1 compliant.

powerpc/6xx: set High BAT Enable flag on G2_LE cores

2024-02-05T11:54:49+00:00

MMU_FTR_USE_HIGH_BATS is set for G2_LE cores and derivatives like e300cX, but the high BATs need to be enabled in HID2 to work. Add register definitions and add the needed setup to __setup_cpu_603. This fixes boot on CPUs like the MPC5200B with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled on systems where the flag has not been set by the bootloader already.
