powerpc/64: asm use consistent global variable declaration and access

2022-09-28T09:22:12+00:00

Use helper macros to access global variables, and place them in .data sections rather than in .toc. Putting addresses in TOC is not required because the kernel is linked with a single TOC.

powerpc: Fix __clear_user() with KUAP enabled

2019-12-16T12:19:44+00:00

The KUAP implementation adds calls in clear_user() to enable and disable access to userspace memory. However, it doesn't add these to __clear_user(), which is used in the ptrace regset code. As there's only one direct user of __clear_user() (the regset code), and the time taken to set the AMR for KUAP purposes is going to dominate the cost of a quick access_ok(), there's not much point having a separate path. Rename __clear_user() to __arch_clear_user(), and make __clear_user() just call clear_user().

powerpc: Fix invalid use of register expressions

2017-08-10T12:29:41+00:00

binutils >= 2.26 now warns about misuse of register expressions in assembler operands that are actually literals, for example: arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S:535: Warning: invalid register expression In practice these are almost all uses of r0 that should just be a literal 0.

powerpc/64: Fix naming of cache block vs. cache line

2017-02-06T08:46:04+00:00

In a number of places we called "cache line size" what is actually the cache block size, which in the powerpc architecture, means the effective size to use with cache management instructions (it can be different from the actual cache line size). We fix the naming across the board and properly retrieve both pieces of information when available in the device-tree. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: EX_TABLE macro for exception tables

2016-11-14T00:11:51+00:00

This macro is taken from s390, and allows more flexibility in changing exception table format. mpe: Put it in ppc_asm.h and only define one version using stringinfy_in_c(). Add some empty definitions and headers to keep the selftests happy. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Exported functions __clear_user and copy_page use r2 so need _GLOBAL_TOC()

2014-06-05T03:20:41+00:00

__clear_user and copy_page load from the TOC and are also exported to modules. This means we have to use _GLOBAL_TOC() so that we create the global entry point that sets up the TOC. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Optimise the 64bit optimised __clear_user

2012-07-03T04:14:48+00:00

I blame Mikey for this. He elevated my slightly dubious testcase: to benchmark status. And naturally we need to be number 1 at creating zeros. So lets improve __clear_user some more. As Paul suggests we can use dcbz for large lengths. This patch gets the destination cacheline aligned then uses dcbz on whole cachelines.
