2005-11-10	[PATCH] powerpc: Consolidate asm compatibility macros	David Gibson	1	-2/+3
	This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for compatibility across different CPUs or configs. A new header, asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros. It uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files. Headers (bitops.h, uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility macros are changed to use asm-compat.h. ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files only, and a #error enforces that. As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution here than in asm-compat.h. While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't. Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc). Built for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc). Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-02	[PATCH] powerpc: Merge futex.h	David Gibson	1	-0/+84
	This patch merges the ppc32 and ppc64 versions of futex.h, essentially by taking the ppc64 version as the powerpc version. The old ppc32 version did not implement the futex_atomic_op_inuser() callback (it always returned -ENOSYS), so FUTEX_WAKE_OP would not work on ppc32. In fact the ppc64 version of this function is almost suitable for ppc32 as well - the only change needed is to extend ppc_asm.h with a macro expanding to to the right pseudo-op to store a pointer (either ".long" or ".llong"). Built and booted on pSeries. Built for 32-bit powermac. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
