| * | [PATCH] powerpc: use lwsync in atomics, bitops, lock functions | Anton Blanchard | 2006-01-13 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | eieio is only a store - store ordering. When used to order an unlock operation loads may leak out of the critical region. This is potentially buggy, one example is if a user wants to atomically read a couple of values. We can solve this with an lwsync which orders everything except store - load. I removed the (now unused) EIEIO_ON_SMP macros and the c versions isync_on_smp and eieio_on_smp now we dont use them. I also removed some old comments that were used to identify inline spinlocks in assembly, they dont make sense now our locks are out of line. Another interesting thing was that read_unlock was using an eieio even though the rest of the spinlock code had already been converted to use lwsync.

| * | [PATCH] powerpc: Consolidate asm compatibility macros | David Gibson | 2005-11-09 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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> | ||
| * | [PATCH] powerpc: Merge futex.h | David Gibson | 2005-11-01 |
| 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> | |||
