      powerpc/lib: Fix the feature fixup tests to actually work · cad0e390
      Michael Ellerman authored
      The code patching code has always been a bit confused about whether
      it's best to use void *, unsigned int *, char *, etc. to point to
      instructions. In fact in the feature fixups tests we use both unsigned
      int[] and u8[] in different places.
      
      Unfortunately the tests that use unsigned int[] calculate the size of
      the code blocks using subtraction of those unsigned int pointers, and
      then pass the result to memcmp(). This means we're only comparing 1/4
      of the bytes we need to, because we need to multiply by
      sizeof(unsigned int) to get the number of *bytes*.
      
      The result is that the tests do all the patching and then only compare
      some of the resulting code, so patching bugs that only effect that
      last 3/4 of the code could slip through undetected. It turns out that
      hasn't been happening, although one test had a bad expected case (see
      previous commit).
      
      Fix it for now by multiplying the size by 4 in the affected functions.

      powerpc/lib: Fix feature fixup test of external branch · 32810d91

      The expected case for this test was wrong, the source of the alternate
      code sequence is:
      
        FTR_SECTION_ELSE
        2:	or	2,2,2
        	PPC_LCMPI	r3,1
        	beq	3f
        	blt	2b
        	b	3f
        	b	1b
        ALT_FTR_SECTION_END(0, 1)
        3:	or	1,1,1
        	or	2,2,2
        4:	or	3,3,3
      
      So when it's patched the '3' label should still be on the 'or 1,1,1',
      and the 4 label is irrelevant and can be removed.
