| 2015-11-26 | powerpc: Standardise on NR_syscalls rather than __NR_syscalls. | Rashmica Gupta | |
| Most architectures use NR_syscalls as the #define for the number of syscalls. We use __NR_syscalls, and then define NR_syscalls as __NR_syscalls. __NR_syscalls is not used outside arch code, whereas NR_syscalls is. So as NR_syscalls must be defined and __NR_syscalls does not, replace __NR_syscalls with NR_syscalls.

| 2015-03-28 | powerpc: Add a proper syscall for switching endianness | Michael Ellerman | |
| We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall exception entry. That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't recognise the syscall at all. Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall exception entry, which is complicated enough without it. As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a regular syscall that implements the same functionality. The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the special syscall clobbers fewer registers. This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> | |||

| 2008-01-17 | [POWERPC] Check that the syscall table matches the syscall numbers | Stephen Rothwell | |
| Also check that __NR_syscalls has been updated appropriately. Hopefully this will catch any out of order additions to the table in the future. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> | |||
