The align attribute applies an alignment constraint for namespace
creation in a region. Whereas the 'align' attribute of a namespace
applied alignment padding via an info block, the 'align' attribute
applies alignment constraints to the free space allocation.
The default for 'align' is the maximum
The NDD_ALIASING flag is used to indicate where pmem capacity might
alias with blk capacity and require labeling. It is also used to
indicate whether the DIMM supports labeling. Separate this latter
capability into its own flag so that the NDD_ALIASING flag is scoped to
true aliased configurations.
The pmem driver on PowerPC crashes with the following signature when
instantiating misaligned namespaces that map their capacity via
memremap_pages().

Aneesh reports that PowerPC requires 16MiB alignment for the address
range passed to devm_memremap_pages(), and Jeff reports that it is
possible to create a misaligned namespace which blocks future namespace
creation in that region. Both of these issues require namespace

Hi,
I'm looking for the history of the tlbia macro. At the time being, the
tlbia macro performs 1024 tlbie, increasing the address by 0x1000
between each tlbie.
I looked into the fullhistory linux repository it was changed from 128
to 1024 at some point in time, but this was done in commit c
powerpc is a bit special for VDSO as well as system calls in the
way that it requires setting CR SO bit which cannot be done in C.
Therefore, entry/exit needs to be performed in ASM.
Implementing __arch_get_vdso_data() would clobbers the link register,
requiring the caller to save it. As the ASM c
On powerpc/32, GCC (8.1) generates pretty bad code for the
ns >>= vd->shift operation taking into account that the
shift is always <= 32 and the upper part of the result is
likely to be nul. GCC makes reversed assumptions considering
the shift to be likely >= 32 and the upper part to be like not nu
Some architectures have a fixed clocksource which is known at compile
time and cannot be replaced or disabled at runtime, e.g. timebase on
PowerPC. For such cases the clock mode check in the VDSO code is
pointless.
Therefore, give architectures the opportunity to redefine the way
clock_mode is che
On powerpc, __arch_get_vdso_data() clobbers the link register,
requiring the caller to save it.
As the parent function already has to set a stack frame and saves
the link register before calling the C vdso function, retriving the
vdso data pointer there is lighter.
Give architectures the opportun
On the same way as already done on PPC32, drop __get_datapage()
