[PATCH 9/9] powerpc: Add CONFIG_VSX config option

Add CONFIG_VSX config build option. Must compile with POWER4, FPU and ALTIVEC. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype | 16 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) Index: linux-2.6-ozlabs/arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype

[PATCH 6/9] powerpc: Add VSX CPU feature

Add a VSX CPU feature. Also add code to detect if VSX is available from the device tree. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Signed-off-by: Joel Schopp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c |4 include/asm-powerpc/cputable.h | 15 ++- 2 fi

[PATCH 8/9] powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support

This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the VSX load/stores when VSX is available. This will make FP context save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available, as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits. Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will

[PATCH 7/9] powerpc: Add VSX assembler code macros

This adds the macros for the VSX load/store instruction as most binutils are not going to support this for a while. Also add VSX register save/restore macros and vsr[0-63] register definitions. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- include/asm-powerpc/ppc_asm.h | 127 +

[PATCH 5/9] powerpc: Introduce VSX thread_struct and CONFIG_VSX

The layout of the new VSR registers and how they overlap on top of the legacy FPR and VR registers is: VSR doubleword 0 VSR doubleword 1 VSR[0] | FPR[0]|

[PATCH 3/9] powerpc: Move altivec_unavailable

Move the altivec_unavailable code, to make room at 0xf40 where the vsx_unavailable exception will be. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S |4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Index: linux-2.6-ozlabs/arch/powerpc/kernel/head

[PATCH 4/9] powerpc: Make load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec callable

Make load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec callable so they can be reused by the VSX code. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- arch/powerpc/kernel/fpu.S|2 +- arch/powerpc/kernel/head_32.S|6 -- arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S|8 +--- arch/powerpc

[PATCH 1/9] powerpc: Fix msr setting in 32 bit signal code

If we set the SPE MSR bit in save_user_regs we can blow away the VEC bit. This will never happen in reality (VMX and SPE will never be in the same processor as their opcodes overlap), but it looks bad. Also when we add VSX here in a later patch, we can hit two of these at the same time. Signed

[PATCH 2/9] powerpc: Add macros to access floating point registers in thread_struct.

We are going to change where the floating point registers are stored in the thread_struct, so in preparation add some macros to access the floating point registers. Update all code to use these new macros. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- arch/powerpc/kernel/align.c |

[PATCH 0/9] powerpc: Add kernel support for POWER7 VSX.
