2017-07-26powerpc/Makefile: Fix ld version check with 64-bit LE-only toolchainMichael Ellerman
In commit efe0160cfd40 ("powerpc/64: Linker on-demand sfpr functions for modules"), we added an ld version check early in the powerpc top-level Makefile. Because the Makefile runs before the kernel config is setup, the checks for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN etc. all take the default case. So we end up configuring ld for 32-bit big endian. That would be OK, except that for historical (or perhaps no) reason, we use 'override LD' to add the endian flags to the LD variable itself, rather than the normal approach of adding them to LDFLAGS. The end result is that when we check the ld version we run it as: $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld -EB -m elf32ppc --version This often works, unless you are using a 64-bit only and/or little endian only, toolchain. In which case you see something like: $ make defconfig powerpc64le-linux-ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf32ppc Supported emulations: elf64lppc elf32lppc elf32lppclinux elf32lppcsim /bin/sh: 1: [: -ge: unexpected operator The proper fix is to stop using 'override LD', but that will require a fair bit of testing. Instead we can fix it for now just by reordering the Makefile to do the version check earlier.

2017-05-30powerpc: Link warning for orphan sectionsNicholas Piggin
Add --orphan-handling=warn to final link flags. This ensures we can handle all sections explicitly. This would have caught subtle breakage such as 7de3b27bac47da9de08409df1d69664acbb72197 at build-time. Also bring existing orphan sections into the fold: - .text.hot and .text.unlikely are compiler generated sections. - .sdata2, .dynsbss, .plt are used by PPC32 - We previously did not specify DWARF_DEBUG or STABS_DEBUG - DWARF_DEBUG did not include all DWARF sections that can be emitted - A number of sections are unused and can be discarded.

2017-04-28powerpc: Use the new post-link pass to check relocationsNicholas Piggin
Currently powerpc has to introduce a dependency on its default build target zImage in order to run a relocation check pass over the linked vmlinux. This is deficient because the check is not run if the plain vmlinux target is built, or if one of the other boot targets is built. Switch to using the kbuild post-link pass, added in commit fbe6e37dab97 ("kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile") in order to run this check. In future powerpc will use this to do more complicated operations, but initially using it for something simple is a good first step.

2017-03-03powerpc: Fix compiling a BE kernel with a powerpc64le toolchainNicholas Piggin
GCC can compile with either endian, but the default ABI version is set based on the default endianness of the toolchain. Alan Modra says: you need both -mbig and -mabi=elfv1 to make a powerpc64le gcc generate powerpc64 code The opposite is true for powerpc64 when generating -mlittle it requires -mabi=elfv2 to generate v2 ABI, which we were already doing. This change adds ABI annotations together with endianness for all cases, LE and BE. This fixes the case of building a BE kernel with a toolchain that is LE by default.

2016-11-29powerpc: Stop passing ARCH=ppc64 to boot MakefileMichael Ellerman
Back in 2005 when the ppc/ppc64 merge started, we used to build the kernel code in arch/powerpc but use the boot code from arch/ppc or arch/ppc64 depending on whether we were building for 32 or 64-bit. Originally we called the boot Makefile passing ARCH=$(OLDARCH), where OLDARCH was ppc or ppc64. In commit 20f629549b30 ("powerpc: Make building the boot image work for both 32-bit and 64-bit") (2005-10-11) we split the call for 32/64-bit using an ifeq check, because the two Makefiles took different targets, and explicitly passed ARCH=ppc64 for the 64-bit case and ARCH=ppc for the 32-bit case. Then in commit 94b212c29f68 ("powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over to arch/powerpc") (2005-11-16) we moved the boot code into arch/powerpc and dropped the ppc case, but kept passing ARCH=ppc64 to arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile. Since then there have been several more boot targets added, all of which have copied the ARCH=ppc64 setting, such that now we have four targets using it. Currently it seems that nothing actually uses the ARCH value, but that's basically just luck, and in particular it prevents us from using the generic cpp_lds_S rule. It's also clearly wrong, ARCH=ppc64 is dead, buried and cremated. Fix it by dropping the setting of ARCH completely, the correct value is exported by the top level Makefile.

2016-11-14powerpc/book3s64: Always build for power4 or laterMichael Ellerman
When we're not compiling for a specific CPU, ie. none of the CONFIG_POWERx_CPU options are set, and CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU *is* set, we currently don't pass any -mcpu option to the compiler. This means the compiler builds for a "generic" Power CPU. But back in 2014 we dropped support for pre power4 CPUs in commit 468a33028edd ("powerpc: Drop support for pre-POWER4 cpus"). Given that, there's no point in building the kernel to run on pre power4 cpus. So update the flags we pass to the compiler when CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is set, to specify -mcpu=power4.

Commit 2578bfae84a7 ("[POWERPC] Create and use CONFIG_WORD_SIZE") added CONFIG_WORD_SIZE, and suggests that other arches were going to do likewise. But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it. So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and tile. It is also easier to spell and simpler, avoiding any confusion about whether it's defined due to ordering of make vs kconfig. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2016-09-13powerpc/Makefile: CROSS32AS is unused, remove itMichael Ellerman
In fact it makes no sense at all to have this defined on little endian builds. Since we disabled the 32-bit VDSO on little endian, we don't build any 32-bit code when building a little endian kernel. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2016-08-10powerpc/Makefile: Use cflags-y/aflags-y for setting endian optionsMichael Ellerman
When we introduced the little endian support, we added the endian flags to CC directly using override. I don't know the history of why we did that, I suspect no one does. Although this mostly works, it has one bug, which is that CROSS32CC doesn't get -mbig-endian. That means when the compiler is little endian by default and the user is building big endian, vdso32 is incorrectly compiled as little endian and the kernel fails to build. Instead we can add the endian flags to cflags-y/aflags-y, and then append those to KBUILD_CFLAGS/KBUILD_AFLAGS. This has the advantage of being 1) less ugly, 2) the documented way of adding flags in the arch Makefile and 3) it fixes building vdso32 with a LE toolchain.

2016-03-07powerpc/ftrace: Add Kconfig & Make glue for mprofile-kernelTorsten Duwe
Firstly we add logic to Kconfig to allow a user to choose if they want mprofile-kernel. This has to be user-selectable because only some current toolchains support it. If we enabled it unconditionally we would prevent some users from building the kernel entirely. Arguably it would be nice if we could detect if mprofile-kernel was available, and use it then. However that would violate the principle of least surprise because a user having choosen options such as live patching, would then see them quietly disabled at build time. We also make the user selectable option negative, ie. it disables when selected, so that allyesconfig continues to build on old toolchains. Once we've decided we do want to use mprofile-kernel, we then add a script which checks it actually works. That is because there are versions of gcc that accept the flag but don't generate correct code. Due to the way kconfig works, we can't error out when we detect a non-working toolchain. If we did a user would never be able to modify their config and run oldconfig - because the check would block oldconfig from running. Instead we emit a warning and add a bogus flag to CFLAGS so that the build will fail. Signed-off-by: Torsten Duwe <duwe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2015-10-19powerpc/cell: Drop CONFIG_TUNE_CELL in favour of CONFIG_CELL_CPUMichael Ellerman
The TUNE_CELL option allows you to build a kernel that runs on multiple CPUs but is tuned (ie. optimised) to run on Cell CPUs. Now days no one is building a distro in that fashion, and any users who are building custom kernels for their Cell machines are better off building with CONFIG_CELL_CPU, which builds a kernel that only runs on Cell and therefore can be optimised even more aggresively. Dropping the option also avoids confusing other users, who are presented with an option to tune for Cell when they are not building for a Cell CPU at all.

2015-08-07powerpc/85xx: Use kconfig fragmentsScott Wood
Unify mpc85xx and corenet configs using fragments, to ease maintenance and avoid the sort of drift that the previous patch fixed. Hardware and software options are separated, with the hope that other embedded platforms could share the software options, and to make it easier to maintain custom/alternate configs that focus on either hardware or software options. Due to the previous patch, this patch should not affect the results of any of the affected defconfigs -- only how those results are achieved. The resulting config is more or less the union of the options that any of the configs previously selected. No attempt was made in this (or the previous) patch to edit out questionable options, but this patch will make it easier to do so in future patches.

2015-06-02powerpc/configs: Replace pseries_le_defconfig with a Makefile target using ↵Cyril Bur
merge_config Rather than continuing to maintain a copy of pseries_defconfig with CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN enabled, use the generic merge_config script and use an le.config to enable little endian on top of pseries_defconfig without the need for a duplicated _defconfig file. This method will require less maintenance in the future and will ensure that both 'defconfigs' are always in sync. It is worth noting that the seemingly more simple approach of: pseries_le_defconfig: pseries_defconfig $(Q)$(MAKE) le.config Will not work when building using O=builddir. The obvious fix to that: pseries_le_defconfig: $(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile pseries_defconfig le.config Also does not work. This is because if we have for example: config FOO depends on CPU_BIG_ENDIAN select BAR Then BAR will be enabled by the first call to kconfig (via pseries_defconfig), and then will remain enabled after we merge le.config, even though FOO will have been turned off. The solution is to ensure to only invoke the kconfig logic once, after we have merged all the config fragments. This ensures nothing is select'ed on that should then be disabled by the later merged configs.

When building up a 64-bit value with lis, ori, shl, oris, ori or similar sequences, you now should use @high and @higha in place of @h and @ha. @h and @ha (and their associated relocs R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI and R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA) now report overflow if the value is out of 32-bit signed range. ie. @h and @ha assume you're building a 32-bit value. This is needed to report out-of-range -mcmodel=medium toc pointer offsets in @toc@h and @toc@ha expressions, and for consistency I did the same for all other @h and @ha relocs. Replacing @h with @high in one strategic location fixes the relocation errors. This has to be done conditionally since the assembler either supports @h or @high but not both.

2013-10-11powerpc: Add ability to build little endian kernelsIan Munsie
This patch allows the kbuild system to successfully compile a kernel for the little endian PowerPC64 architecture. A subsequent patch will add the CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN kernel config option which must be set to build such a kernel. If cross compiling, CROSS_COMPILE must point to a suitable toolchain (compiled for the powerpc64le-linux and powerpcle-linux targets).

2013-10-11powerpc: uname should return ppc64le/ppcle on little endian buildsAnton Blanchard
We need to distinguish between big endian and little endian environments, so fix uname to return the right thing. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
