[OpenBIOS] [PATCH 0/4] Paving the way for ppc64

[Andreas Färber]

Hello,

With these patches and a hack such as the following I am able to build
and debug into ppc64 OpenBIOS:

diff --git a/kernel/internal.c b/kernel/internal.c
index 91ab440..d1fd850 100644
--- a/kernel/internal.c
+++ b/kernel/internal.c
@@ -50,7 +50,11 @@ char xtname[MAXNFALEN];
 /* instead of pointing to an explicit 0 variable we
  * point behind the pointer.
  */
+#ifdef __powerpc64__
+static ucell t[] = { DOCOL, 0, 0, 0 };
+#else
 static ucell t[] = { DOCOL, 0, (ucell)(t+3), 0 };
+#endif
 static ucell *trampoline = t;
 #endif

This hack does not matter yet as we don't return from setup_mmu() anyway.

I have some more fixes related to exception preamble and epilogue cooking
but that needs some more thought for a sane interim solution.

Regards,
Andreas

  ppc: Use vector-local version of exception_return
  ppc64: Don't disable SF bit
  ppc: Introduce load() macro for ppc64
  ppc: Avoid vector overlap on ppc64
