This patch series adds pstore support on powernv platform to
read different nvram partitions and write compressed data to
oops-log nvram partition. As pseries platform already has
pstore support, this series moves most of the common code
for pseries and powernv platforms to a common file. Tested
th
With minor checks, we can move most of the code for nvram
under pseries to a common place to be re-used by other
powerpc platforms like powernv. This patch moves such
common code to arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c file.

This patch extends pstore, a generic interface to platform dependent
persistent storage, support for powernv platform to capture certain
useful information, during dying moments. Such support is already in
place for pseries platform. This patch re-uses most of that code.

Hello!
Can someone from powerpc kernel guys look at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1093163
It can not load kernel on power6 JS22 (type 7998) blade, starting from 3.11
kernel (but 3.9.x actually bootable).
Thanks.
PS: not sure, is it worth investigating since it's power6 (old hardwa

kbuild: fix cc-ifversion macro
kbuild: do not add $(call ...) to invoke cc-version or cc-fullversion
kbuild,gcov: remove unnecessary workaround
kbuild,gcov: simplify kernel/gcov/Makefile
kbuild: allow cc-ifversion to have the argument for false condition

The macros cc-version, cc-fullversion and ld-version take no argument.
It is not necessary to add $(call ...) to invoke them.
