      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells authored 
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.

Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.

To this end, I've defined three new config bools:

 (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC

     Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
     mod_arch_specific struct.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA

     Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL

     Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.

With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.

Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

      powerpc: select PPC_CLOCK unconditionally for FSL_SOC · 6d4ae2dd
      Shawn Guo authored 
      Freescale PowerPC SoCs share a number of IP blocks with Freescale
ARM/IMX SoCs, FlexCAN, SSI, FEC, eSDHC, USB, etc.  There are some
effort consolidating those drivers to make them work for both
architectures.

One outstanding difference between two architectures is ARM/IMX will
turn off module clocks during platform initialization for power saving
and expects drivers manage clocks using clk API, while PowerPC
mostly does not do that, and thus does not always build in clk API.

Listing all those driver Kconfig options in "select PPC_CLOCK if" seems
not scalable for long term maintenance, and could easily introduce
Kconfig recursive dependency.  This patch chooses to select PPC_CLOCK
unconditionally for FSL_SOC to always build clk API for PowerPC in.

      powerpc/47x: Kernel support for KEXEC · 68343020
      Suzuki Poulose authored 
      This patch adds support for creating 1:1 mapping for the PPC_47x during
a KEXEC. The implementation is similar to that of the PPC440x which is
described here :

	http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/104323/

PPC_47x MMU :

The 47x uses Unified TLB 1024 entries, with 4-way associative mapping
(4 x 256 entries). The index to be used is calculated by the MMU by
hashing the PID, EPN and TS. The software can choose to specify the way
by setting bit 0(enable way select) and the way in bits 1-2 in the TLB
Word 0.

Implementation:

The patch erases all the UTLB entries which includes the tlb covering
the mapping for our code. The shadow TLB caches the mapping for the
running code which helps us to continue the execution until we do
isync/rfi. We then create a tmp mapping for the current code in the
other address space (TS) and switch to it.

Then we create a 1:1 mapping(EPN=RPN) for 0-2GiB in the original
address space and switch to the new mapping.

TODO: Add SMP support.

      [PATCH v3] ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC syscalls · 48b25c43
      Chris Metcalf authored 
      When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to
be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and
in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by
compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls.

However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC
syscalls do not do this.  semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth
argument, instead of the fourth argument itself.  msgsnd(), msgrcv()
and shmat() expect arguments in different order.

This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be
set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc,
s390, and mips).  No actual semantics are changed for those architectures,
and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c.

Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such
as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can
avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific
compat layer.  In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64
mode is assumed, since that's what the <asm-generic> headers expect.

The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed
with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were
not being properly handled.

      powerpc: Make SPARSE_IRQ required · ad5b7f13
      Grant Likely authored 
      All IRQs on powerpc are managed via irq_domain anyway, there isn't really
any advantage to turning SPARSE_IRQ off, and it's the direction we want
to take the kernel design anyway.  This patch makes powerpc always use
SPARSE_IRQ.

On pseries_defconfig, SPARSE_IRQ adds only about 0x300 bytes to the
.text sections, and removes about 0x20000 from the data section for the
static irq_desc table.

      irq: make SPARSE_IRQ an optionally hidden option · 2ed86b16
      Rob Herring authored 
      On ARM, we don't want SPARSE_IRQ to be a user visible option. Make
SPARSE_IRQ visible based on MAY_HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ instead of depending
on HAVE_SPARSE_IRQ.

With this, SPARSE_IRQ is not visible on C6X and ARM.
