* [PATCH] ppc32: Add support for Freescale e200 (Book-E) coreKumar Gala2005-06-251-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | The e200 core is a Book-E core (similar to e500) that has a unified L1 cache and is not cache coherent on the bus. The e200 core also adds a separate exception level for debug exceptions. Part of this patch helps to cleanup a few cases that are true for all Freescale Book-E parts, not just e500.

* [PATCH] ppc32: don't recursively crash in die() on CHRP/PReP machinesJakub Bogusz2005-06-211-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch avoids recursive crash (leading to kernel stack overflow) in die() on CHRP/PReP machines when CONFIG_PMAC_BACKLIGHT=y. set_backlight_* functions are placed in pmac section, which is discarded when _machine != _MACH_Pmac.

* [PATCH] ppc32: Simplified load string emulation error checkingKumar Gala2005-05-281-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The error checking for emulation of load string instructions was overly generous and would cause certain valid forms of the instructions to be treated as illegal. We drop the range checking since the architecture allows this to be boundedly undefined. Tests on CPUs that support these instructions appear not do cause illegal instruction traps on range errors and just allow the execution to occur. Thanks to Kim Phillips for debugging this and figuring out what real HW was doing.

* [PATCH] ppc32: refactor FPU exception handlingPaul Mackerras2005-05-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moved common FPU exception handling code out of head.S so it can be used by several of the sub-architectures that might of a full PowerPC FPU. Also, uses new CONFIG_PPC_FPU define to fix alignment exception handling for floating point load/store instructions to only occur if we have a hardware FPU.

* [PATCH] ppc sparse annotations: emulate_string_inst()Al Viro2005-04-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | replaced declaration of EA from u32 to unsigned long - this beast is used only to cast it to (userland) pointer and proper integer type for that is unsigned long. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] ppc32: fix single-stepping of emulated instructionsPaul Mackerras2005-04-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | On ppc, we emulate instructions that cause alignment exceptions. If we are single-stepping an instruction and it causes an alignment exception, we will currently do the next instruction as well before taking the single-step exception. This patch fixes that, so we take the single-step exception after emulating the instruction.

* [PATCH] ppc32: oops on kernel altivec assist exceptionsPaul Mackerras2005-04-161-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we should happen to get an altivec assist exception while executing in the kernel, we will currently try to handle it and fail, and end up oopsing with (apparently) a segfault. (An altivec assist exception occurs for floating-point altivec instructions with denormalized inputs or outputs if the altivec unit is in java mode.) This patch checks explicitly if we are in user mode and prints a useful message if not.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+886
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
