2013-06-20powerpc/8xx: Remove 8xx specific "minimal FPU emulation"Benjamin Herrenschmidt
This is duplicated code from math-emu and implements such a small subset of the FPU (load/stores/fmr) that it's essentially pointless nowdays. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2013-06-20powerpc/math-emu: Allow math-emu to be used for HW FPUBenjamin Herrenschmidt
(Including 64-bit ones) This allow SW emulation by the kernel of optional instructions such as fsqrt which aren't implemented on some processors, and thus fixes some Fedora 19 issues such as Anaconda since the compiler is set to generate those by default on 64-bit.

This patch removes the Kconfig symbol HAVE_CAN_FLEXCAN from arch/{arm,powerpc} and allowing compilation unconditionally on all arm and powerpc platforms. This brings a bigger compile time coverage and removes the following dependency warning found by Arnd Bergmann: warning: (SOC_IMX28 && SOC_IMX25 && SOC_IMX35 && IMX_HAVE_PLATFORM_FLEXCAN && SOC_IMX53 && SOC_IMX6Q) selects HAVE_CAN_FLEXCAN which has unmet direct dependencies (NET && CAN && CAN_DEV) Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Acked-by: Shawn Guo <shawn.guo@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>

2013-05-24powerpc/85xx: Enabled stashing of FMAN write dataVakul Garg
This patch enables translation of FMAN write transactions into write-with-stashing (to CPC) using IOMMU operation mapping mechanism. This is required for USDPAA IPSEC application so that SEC is able to DMA data faster and show better performance. On T4240, this patch shows up 20% performance gain for USDPAA IPSEC.

2013-02-04arch Kconfig: Remove references to IRQ_PER_CPUJames Hogan
The IRQ_PER_CPU Kconfig symbol was removed in the following commit: Commit 6a58fb3bad099076f36f0f30f44507bc3275cdb6 ("genirq: Remove CONFIG_IRQ_PER_CPU") merged in v2.6.39-rc1. But IRQ_PER_CPU wasn't removed from any of the architecture Kconfig files where it was defined or selected. It's completely unused so remove the remaining references.

2013-01-29uprobes/powerpc: Add dependency on single step emulationSuzuki K. Poulose
Uprobes uses emulate_step in sstep.c, but we haven't explicitly specified the dependency. On pseries HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT protects us, but 44x has no such luxury. Consolidate other users that depend on sstep and create a new config option. Signed-off-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Suzuki K.

2013-01-21arch/powerpc: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTALKees Cook
The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.
