The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to
warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the
oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to
grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.
While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations
of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the
original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.

The following patch implements the dynamic relocation processing for
PPC32 kernel. relocate() accepts the target virtual address and relocates
the kernel image to the same.
Currently the following relocation types are handled :
R_PPC_RELATIVE
R_PPC_ADDR16_LO
R_PPC_ADDR16_HI
R_PPC_ADDR16_HA
The last 3 relocations in the above list depends on value of Symbol indexed
whose index is encoded in the Relocation entry. Hence we need the Symbol
Table for processing such relocations.
Note: The GNU ld for ppc32 produces buggy relocations for relocation types
that depend on symbols. The value of the symbols with STB_LOCAL scope
should be assumed to be zero. - Alan Modra

This adds it using ppc40x_simple and provides a device-tree.
There are some changes to the boot wrapper because the way u-boot works
on this thing, it seems to expect a multipart image with the kernel,
initrd and dtb in it.
The USB support is missing as it needs the yet unmerged driver for
the DWC OTG part and the GPIOs may need further definition in the dts.

Recent binutils refuses to assemble AltiVec opcodes when in e500/SPE
mode, as some of those opcodes alias the "SPE" instructions. This
triggers an ancient binutils version check even when building a kernel
with CONFIG_ALTIVEC disabled.
In theory, the check could be conditionalized on CONFIG_ALTIVEC, but in
practice it has long outlived its utility. It is virtually impossible
to find binutils older than 2.12.1 (released 2002) in the wild anymore.
Even ancient RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 has binutils-2.14.
To fix the kernel build when done natively on e500 systems with this new
binutils, the test is simply removed.

An implementation of a code generator for BPF programs to speed up packet
filtering on PPC64, inspired by Eric Dumazet's x86-64 version.
Filter code is generated as an ABI-compliant function in module_alloc()'d mem
with stackframe & prologue/epilogue generated if required (simple filters don't
need anything more than an li/blr). The filter's local variables, M[], live in
registers. Supports all BPF opcodes, although "complicated" loads from negative
packet offsets (e.g. SKF_LL_OFF) are not yet supported.
There are a couple of further optimisations left for future work; many-pass
assembly with branch-reach reduction and a register allocator to push M[]
variables into volatile registers would improve the code quality further.
This currently supports big-endian 64-bit PowerPC only (but is fairly simple
to port to PPC32 or LE!).
Enabled in the same way as x86-64:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
Or, enabled with extra debug output:
echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

It is now possible to assign options to AS, CC and LD

{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE was all used both in the top-level Makefile
in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify

without overriding the original value.
Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE
that is used by arch specific files and free up
{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE so they can be assigned on
the command line.
All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.
Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both
AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped.
So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by

When using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, we build the kernel as a position
independent executable. The kernel then uses a little bit of relocation
code to relocate itself. That code only deals with R_PPC64_RELATIVE
relocations though. If for some reason you use assembly constructs
such as LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() to load the address of a symbol, you'll
generate different kinds of relocations that won't be processed properly
and bad things will happen. (We have 2 such bugs today).
The perl script tries to filter out "known" bad ones. It's possible
that we are missing some in the case of a weak function that nobody
implements, we'll see if we get false positive and fix it.

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized

to select a custom installkernel script when running make:
make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install
With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use

The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)
The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.
This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).
With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.

This bug is causing random crashes
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414).
-fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also
supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation
on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack
locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI
because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an
interrupt.
This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace.
When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work
around the gcc codegen bug.

Additionally, we have to link this code into each module. The other

Currently, the kernel uses CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE to wrap a kernel image
with a fdt blob which means for any given configuration only one dts
file can be selected and so support for only one board can be built
This moves the selection of the default .dts file out of the kernel
config and into the bootwrapper makefile. The makefile chooses which
images to build based on the kernel config and the dts source file
name is taken directly from the image name. For example "cuImage.ebony"
will use "ebony.dts" as the device tree source file.
In addition, this patch allows a specific image to be requested from the
command line by adding "cuImage.%" and "treeImage.%" targets to the list
of valid built targets in arch/powerpc/Makefile. This allows the default
dts selection to be overridden.
Another advantage to this change is it allows a single defconfig to be
supplied for all boards using the same chip family and only differing in
the device tree.
Important note: This patch adds two new zImage targets; zImage.dtb.% and
zImage.dtb.initrd.% for zImages with embedded dtb files. Currently
there are 5 platforms which require this: ps3, ep405, mpc885ads, ep88xc,
adder875-redboot and ep8248e. This patch *changes the zImage filenames*
for those platforms. ie. 'zImage.ps3' is now 'zImage.dtb.ps3'.

part of the dependancies list for building them.

CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_32 implies CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU.

Since the PPE on cell is an in-order core, it suffers significantly
from wrong instruction scheduling. This adds a Kconfig option that
enables passing -mtune=cell to gcc in order to generate object
code that runs well on cell.

We no longer have any dependancies on include/asm-ppc so we can get ride
of the makefile hacks to include it in the build process.

4xx is a bit of a misnomer for certain things, as they really apply to PowerPC
40x only. Rename some of the files to clean this up.

Being able to selectively wrap a device tree with the zIimage at build
time has been deemed unnecessary, so this removes Makefile support for
that feature.

This zImage is really just the stripped vmlinux, but it means that there
is one less special case for iSeries and also that the zImages will be
built for a combined kernel build that happens to include iSeries.
This zImage boots fine on legacy iSeries.
