2014-05-19	sparc: drop use of extern for prototypes in arch/sparc/include/asm	Sam Ravnborg	1	-14/+14
	Drop extern for all prototypes and adjust alignment of parameters as required after the removal. In a few rare cases adjust linelength to conform to maximum 80 chars, and likewise in a few rare cases adjust alignment of parameters to static functions.

2011-09-17	sparc64: Future proof Niagara cpu detection.	David S. Miller	1	-1/+3
	Recognize T4 and T5 chips. Treating them both as "T2 plus other stuff" should be extremely safe and make sure distributions will work when those chips actually ship to customers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-07-28	sparc: Detect and handle UltraSPARC-T3 cpu types.	David S. Miller	1	-1/+2
	The cpu compatible string we look for is "SPARC-T3". As far as memset/memcpy optimizations go, we treat this chip the same as Niagara-T2/T2+. Use cache initializing stores for memset, and use perfetch, FPU block loads, cache initializing stores, and block stores for copies. We use the Niagara-T2 perf support, since T3 is a close relative in this regard. Later we'll add support for the new events T3 can report, plus enable T3's new "sample" mode. For now I haven't added any new ELF hwcap flags. We probably need to add a couple, for example: T2 and T3 both support the population count instruction in hardware. T3 supports VIS3 instructions, including support (finally) for partitioned shift. One can also now move directly between float and integer registers. T3 supports instructions meant to help with Galois Field and other HPC calculations, such as XOR multiply. Also there are "OP and negate" instructions, for example "fnmul" which is multiply-and-negate. T3 recognizes the transactional memory opcodes, however since transactional memory isn't supported: 1) 'commit' behaves as a NOP and 2) 'chkpt' always branches 3) 'rdcps' returns all zeros and 4) 'wrcps' behaves as a NOP. So we'll need about 3 new elf capability flags in the end to represent all of these things. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-28	sparc, sparc64: use arch/sparc/include	Sam Ravnborg	1	-0/+70
	The majority of this patch was created by the following script: *** ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm mkdir -p $ASM git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM git rm include/asm-sparc64/* git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/* sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/* *** The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc for header files when sparc64 is being build. And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from sparc64 code. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
