Currently none of the generated defconfigs appear in the help output, because the help text discovers defconfigs by looking for actual files named "*_defconfig". Collect the generated defconfig names into a variable and then print those out in archhelp. Output looks like eg: pseries_le_defconfig - Build for pseries_le ppc64le_defconfig - Build for ppc64le ppc64le_guest_defconfig - Build for ppc64le_guest ... ppc64_randconfig - Build for ppc64_randconfig adder875_defconfig - Build for adder875 amigaone_defconfig - Build for amigaone Signed-off-by:

Add PPC_QEMU_E500 to corenet_base.config, which is then used to generate corenet64_smp_defconfig and corenet32_smp_defconfig. That then allows both those configs to build kernels that boot in qemu using the ppce500 machine type and respectively -cpu e5500 or -cpu e500mc. The code that is added by PPC_QEMU_E500 just defines another machine with a probe function that recognises qemu, so there should be no change when booting on actual hardware supported by CORENET_GENERIC. The increase in vmlinux size is less than 1KB. Signed-off-by:

Based on documentation revision dates, this MPC82xx pq2fads system predates the MPC8272-ADS variant by about a year and only has 1/2 the amount of RAM (32MB) -- largely making it useless with a modern v6.x kernel from today. Similar to the MPC8272-ADS the pq2fads also supported other 82xx CPU variants, had 8MB flash, and like the 8272 ADS platform, was on a fairly large PCB in order to have space for breakout connectors for all features. These 82xx platforms are two decades old, and originally made for a small group of industry related people in order to assist in new OEM board designs. Given that, it makes sense to remove support today. Signed-off-by:

This evaluation platform was essentially a single core 8641 with integrated graphics/display support - in an effort to reduce chip count on kiosk and similar applications. Compared to other evaluation platforms considered for removal in other recent commits, this platform was relatively rare. Unlike all the other 10+ platforms, I couldn't find any documentation on it - just a link to downloading the 2007 era BSP in "LTIB" format as was done back then. With all that in mind, it seems prudent to remove it here in 2023. Signed-off-by:

There is no denying that this was an interesting platform in its day. Access to a SMP powerpc platform became a bit more obtainable for folks in the BSP industry in the 2007 era, thanks to this platform. Add to that the move to the black Antec case vs. the generic white 2005 era case of the MPC8548CDS or the retro 1950s 1/2 height horizontal case of the HPC II, and it was pretty interesting to people like myself then. However, like all the other evaluation platforms, the overall system was complex out of necessity, as it tried to showcase all possible features and use-cases. That included an AMP option, where you could run two bootloaders and two kernels over two serial consoles. Peripheral sharing got a bit more tricky when you got to the hard disk and similar. In any case we still have the same circumstance. A relatively rare and expensive evaluation platform that is now 15+ years old and not out there in large numbers in the general public. Removal in 2023 just makes sense. Signed-off-by:

This was an interesting platform - it was the 1st instance of a respin of earlier 130nm 74xx CPUs on 90nm and systems using MPC7448 were positioned as a rack server platform solution. Given that, the evaluation platform (at least the one I had) was shipped in a horizontal 1/2 height Antec desktop case with retro styling and colours, despite the fact the docs explicitly stated that the HPC II is not a desktop machine (noting it had no gfx or legacy PC I/O support). Historic trivia aside, this was the 1st introduction of the e600 procfam as an evolution from the earlier G4. However even with the claim to being "1st e600" it seems the 2005+ era was turning its attention to multicore support and from my memory this poor guy was quickly overshadowed by the dual core MPC8641D. All that aside, we are once again looking at 15+ year old evaluation platforms that were not widely distributed, so 2023 removal makes sense. Signed-off-by:

This final variant in the e300 family of Modular Development System (MDS) in this series was actually aimed at feature reduction - things like floating point and ethernet were removed in order to make for a lower power and lower cost system. Like all the MDS systems, it was meant as a vehicle to get the CPU out early to hardware OEMs so software and board development could take place in parallel. These were made in limited numbers and availability preference was given to partners who were planning to make their own boards. Given that the whole reason for existence was to assist in enabling new board designs [not happening for 10+ years], and that they weren't generally available, and that the hardware wasn't really hobbyist friendly even for retro computing, it makes sense to retire the support for this particular platform.

This next evolutionary step in the e300 family of Modular Development System (MDS) still has, at its core component, a full length card with a PCI edge. No case. Serial and network connectors were on card, so it could optionally be fitted with plastic stand-offs and run stand-alone off a power brick. This is very similar to the MPC834x_MDS and MPC836x_MDS removed in the prior commits, but with this board variant as yet another evolutionary step. SATA and PCI-e were now available. But overall the form factor and design goals were unchanged.

This 2006 era Modular Development System (MDS) has, at its core component, a full length card with a PCI edge. No case. Serial and network connectors were on card, so it could optionally be fitted with plastic stand-offs and run stand-alone off a power brick. This is very similar to the MPC834x_MDS removed in the prior commit, but with this board variant as an evolutionary step. DDR2 was now an option, and the card edge was revised down to PCI-32 as PCI-64 never got traction. But overall the form factor and design goals were unchanged. Like all the MDS systems, it was meant as a vehicle to get the CPU out early to hardware OEMs so software and board development could take place in parallel. To that end, the BGA CPU was held in place with a mechanical spring loaded pressure assembly (vs. solder) so that early rev silicon could be replaced in the field. Not for COTS deployment!

This test case is extremely slow, taking around a minute compared to most of the other DSCR tests taking a second at most. Perf shows most time is spent by the kernel switching to each CPU it reads in /sys/devices/system/cpu. This switching is an unavoidable consequnce of reading all the .../cpuN/dscr values. Remove the outer iteration loop from this test case, reducing the reads from 1600 to 16. This still updates the DSCR 16 times and verifies on every CPU each time, so I do not expect the lower coverage to be meaningful. The speedup is significant: back down to ~1 second like the other tests. Signed-off-by:

The tests currently have a single writer thread updating the system DSCR with a 1/1000 chance looped only 100 times. So only around one in 10 runs actually do anything. * Add multiple threads to the dscr_explicit_random_test case. * Use a barrier to make all the threads start work as simultaneously as possible. * Use a rwlock and make all threads have a reasonable chance to write to the DSCR on each iteration. PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_NP is used to prevent writers from starving while all the other threads keep reading. Logging the reads/writes shows a decent mix across the whole test. * Allow all threads a chance to write. * Make the chance of writing more likely. Signed-off-by:

Add new cases to the relevant tests that use explicitly synchronized threads to test the behaviour across context switches with less randomness. By locking the participants to the same CPU we guarantee a context switch occurs each time they make progress, which is a likely failure point if the kernel is not tracking the thread local DSCR correctly. The random case is left in to keep exercising potential edge cases. Signed-off-by:

Build modules using PCREL addressing when CONFIG_PPC_KERNEL_PCREL=y. - The module loader must handle several new relocation types: * R_PPC64_REL24_NOTOC is a function call handled like R_PPC_REL24, but does not restore r2 upon return. The external function call stub is changed to use pcrel addressing to load the function pointer rather than based on the module TOC. * R_PPC64_GOT_PCREL34 is a reference to external data. A GOT table must be built by hand, because the linker adds this during the final link (which is not done for kernel modules). The GOT table is built similarly to the way the external function call stub table is. This section is called .mygot because .got has a special meaning for the linker and can become upset. * R_PPC64_PCREL34 is used for local data addressing, but there is a special case where the percpu section is moved at load-time to the percpu area which is out of range of this relocation. This requires the PCREL34 relocations are converted to use GOT_PCREL34 addressing. Signed-off-by:Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> [mpe: Some coding style & formatting fixups] Signed-off-by:

PC-Relative or PCREL addressing is an extension to the ELF ABI which uses Power ISA v3.1 PC-relative instructions to calculate addresses, rather than the traditional TOC scheme. Add an option to build vmlinux using pcrel addressing. Modules continue to use TOC addressing. - TOC address helpers and r2 are poisoned with -1 when running vmlinux. r2 could be used for something useful once things are ironed out. - Assembly must call C functions with @notoc annotation, or the linker complains aobut a missing nop after the call. This is done with the CFUNC macro introduced earlier. - Boot: with the exception of prom_init, the execution branches to the kernel virtual address early in boot, before any addresses are generated, which ensures 34-bit pcrel addressing does not miss the high PAGE_OFFSET bits. TOC relative addressing has a similar requirement. prom_init does not go to the virtual address and its addresses should not carry over to the post-prom kernel. - Ftrace trampolines are converted from TOC addressing to pcrel addressing, including module ftrace trampolines that currently use the kernel TOC to find ftrace target functions. - BPF function prologue and function calling generation are converted from TOC to pcrel. - copypage_64.S has an interesting problem, prefixed instructions have alignment restrictions so the linker can add padding, which makes the assembler treat the difference between two local labels as non-constant even if alignment is arranged so padding is not required. This may need toolchain help to solve nicely, for now move the prefix instruction out of the alternate patch section to work around it. This reduces kernel text size by about 6%. Signed-off-by:

This macro is to be used in assembly where C functions are called. pcrel addressing mode requires branches to functions with a localentry value of 1 to have either a trailing nop or @notoc. This macro permits the latter without changing callers. Signed-off-by:

Add an option to build kernel and module with prefixed instructions if the CPU and toolchain support it. This is not related to kernel support for userspace execution of prefixed instructions. Building with prefixed instructions breaks some extended inline asm memory addressing, for example it will provide immediates that exceed the range of simple load/store displacement. Whether this is a toolchain or a kernel asm problem remains to be seen. For now, these are replaced with simpler and less efficient direct register addressing when compiling with prefixed.

This mostly consolidates the Book3E and Book3S behaviour in boot WRT executing from the physical or virtual address. Book3E sets up kernel virtual linear map in start_initialization_book3e and runs from the virtual linear alias after that. This change makes Book3S begin to execute from the virtual alias at the same point. Book3S can not use its MMU for that at this point, but when the MMU is disabled, the virtual linear address correctly aliases to physical memory because the top bits of the address are ignored with MMU disabled. Secondaries execute from the virtual address similarly early. This reduces the differences between subarchs, but the main motivation was to enable the PC-relative addressing ABI for Book3S, where pointer calculations must execute from the virtual address or the top bits of the pointer will be lost. This is similar to the requirement the TOC relative addressing already has that the TOC pointer use its virtual address. Signed-off-by:

A later change moves the non-prom case to run at the virtual address earlier, which calls for virtual TOC and kernel base. Split these two calculations for prom and non-prom to make that change simpler. Signed-off-by:

"fsl,P2020RDB-PC" compatible string was present in Turris 1.x DTS file just because Linux kernel required it for proper detection of P2020 processor during boot. This was quite a hack as CZ.NIC Turris 1.x is not compatible with Freescale P2020-RDB-PC board. Now when kernel has generic unified support for boards with P2020 processors, there is no need to have this "hack" in turris1x.dts file.

Generic unified P2020 machine description which supports all P2020-based boards is now in separate file p2020.c. So create a separate config option CONFIG_PPC_P2020 for it. Previously machine descriptions for P2020 boards were enabled by CONFIG_MPC85xx_DS or CONFIG_MPC85xx_RDB option. So set CONFIG_PPC_P2020 to be enabled by default when one of those option is enabled. This allows to compile support for P2020 boards without need to have enabled support for older mpc85xx boards.
