2021-03-17powerpc/64s: Fix instruction encoding for lis in ppc_function_entry()Naveen N. Rao
commit cea15316ceee2d4a51dfdecd79e08a438135416c upstream. 'lis r2,N' is 'addis r2,0,N' and the instruction encoding in the macro LIS_R2 is incorrect (it currently maps to 'addis r0,r2,N'). Fix the same. Fixes: c71b7eff426f ("powerpc: Add ABIv2 support to ppc_function_entry") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.16+ Reported-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

2019-05-16powerpc/asm: Add a patch_site macro & helpers for patching instructionsMichael Ellerman
commit 06d0bbc6d0f56dacac3a79900e9a9a0d5972d818 upstream. Add a macro and some helper C functions for patching single asm instructions. The gas macro means we can do something like: 1: nop patch_site 1b, patch__foo Which is less visually distracting than defining a GLOBAL symbol at 1, and also doesn't pollute the symbol table which can confuse eg. perf. These are obviously similar to our existing feature sections, but are not automatically patched based on CPU/MMU features, rather they are designed to be manually patched by C code at some arbitrary point.

2014-06-24powerpc: Add ppc_global_function_entry()Michael Ellerman
ABIv2 has the concept of a global and local entry point to a function. In most cases we are interested in the local entry point, and so that is what ppc_function_entry() returns. However we have a case in the ftrace code where we want the global entry point, and there may be other places we need it too. Rather than special casing each, add an accessor. For ABIv1 and 32-bit there is only a single entry point, so we return that. That means it's safe for the caller to use this without also checking the ABI version.

Skip over the well known global entry point code for ABIv2. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

So that it can be used by other codes. No function change. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao <haokexin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2012-07-03powerpc: Have patch_instruction detect faultsSteven Rostedt
For ftrace to use the patch_instruction code, it needs to check for faults on write. Ftrace updates code all over the kernel, and we need to know if code is updated or not due to protections that are placed on some portions of the kernel. If ftrace does not detect a fault, it will error later on, and it will be much more difficult to find the problem. By changing patch_instruction() to detect faults, then ftrace will be able to make use of it too.

2009-02-23powerpc: Unify opcode definitions and supportKumar Gala
Create a new header that becomes a single location for defining PowerPC opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about. We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already have. Added support for the new dcbzl, dcbal, msgsnd, tlbilx, & wait instructions since older assemblers don't know about them.

2008-08-04powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asmStephen Rothwell
from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
