2008-01-25[POWERPC] Make setjmp/longjmp code usable outside of xmonMichael Neuling
This makes the setjmp/longjmp code used by xmon, generically available to other code. It also removes the requirement for debugger hooks to be only called on 0x300 (data storage) exception. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-12-11[POWERPC] kernel_execve is identical in 32 and 64 bitStephen Rothwell
so consolidate it into misc.S. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-09-20[POWERPC] convert string i/o operations to CStephen Rothwell
This produces essentially the same code and will make the iSeries i/o consolidation easier. The count parameter is changed to long since that will produce the same (better) code on 32 and 64 bit builds. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
2006-09-20[POWERPC] clean up ide io accessorsStephen Rothwell

2006-09-20[POWERPC] remove unused asm routinesStephen Rothwell
_insw, _outsw, _insl amd _outsl are all unused, so remove them. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
2006-09-13[POWERPC] Fix MMIO ops to provide expected barrier behaviourPaul Mackerras
This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory. To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions have had an sync added before the load. Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb() is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required. Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by __raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock. If it is set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it. This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX. 32-bit already has a sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus doesn't need the per-cpu flag. Tested on G5 (PPC970) and POWER5. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-06-28[POWERPC] Consolidate some of kernel/misc*.SStephen Rothwell
There were some common functions (mainly i/o). Also some small white space cleanups and remove a couple of small unused functions. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
