[PATCH v13 0/8] powerpc: switch VDSO to C implementation

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Nov 03 2020 - 13:07:51 EST


This is a series to switch powerpc VDSO to generic C implementation.

Changes in v13:
- Reorganised headers to avoid the need for a fake 32 bits config for building VDSO32 on PPC64
- Rebased after the removal of powerpc 601
- Using DOTSYM() macro to call functions directly without using OPD
- Explicitely dropped .opd and .got1 sections which are now unused

Changes in v12:
- Rebased to today's powerpc/merge branch (Conflicts on VDSO Makefiles)
- Added missing prototype for __kernel_clock_gettime64()

Changes in v11:
- Rebased to today's powerpc/merge branch
- Prototype of __arch_get_hw_counter() was modified in mainline (patch 2)

Changes in v10 are:
- Added a comment explaining the reason for the double stack frame
- Moved back .cfi_register lr next to mflr

Main changes in v9 are:
- Dropped the patches which put the VDSO datapage in front of VDSO text in the mapping
- Adds a second stack frame because the caller doesn't set one, at least on PPC64
- Saving the TOC pointer on PPC64 (is that really needed ?)

This series applies on today's powerpc/merge branch.

See the last patches for details on changes and performance.

Christophe Leroy (8):
powerpc/feature: Fix CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS by removing CPU_FTRS_GENERIC_32
powerpc/feature: Use CONFIG_PPC64 instead of __powerpc64__ to define
possible features
powerpc/processor: Move cpu_relax() into asm/vdso/processor.h
powerpc/time: Move timebase functions into new asm/timebase.h
powerpc/vdso: Prepare for switching VDSO to generic C implementation.
powerpc/vdso: Save and restore TOC pointer on PPC64
powerpc/vdso: Switch VDSO to generic C implementation.
powerpc/vdso: Provide __kernel_clock_gettime64() on vdso32
