True, though that could be a lot simpler because the MULTIPLEWORD value is only used for PPC32, which is always big endian. I'll send a patch for that. > The patch does the same for the asm parts, for consistency > > On processors like the 8xx on which insn fetching is pretty slow, > this speeds up registers save/restore OK. I've always heard that they should be avoided, but that's coming from 64-bit land. I guess we've been enabling this for all 32-bit targets for ever so it must be a reasonable option. > Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.le...@c-s.fr> > --- > v2: Swapped both patches in the serie to reduce number of impacted > lines and added the same modification in ppc_save_regs() > > arch/powerpc/include/asm/ppc_asm.h | 5 +++++ > arch/powerpc/kernel/misc.S | 10 ++++++++++ > arch/powerpc/kernel/ppc_save_regs.S | 4 ++++ > 3 files changed, 19 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/ppc_asm.h > b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/ppc_asm.h > index 13f7f4c0e1ea..4bb765d0b758 100644 > --- a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/ppc_asm.h > +++ b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/ppc_asm.h > @@ -80,11 +80,16 @@ END_FW_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FW_FEATURE_SPLPAR) > #else > #define SAVE_GPR(n, base) stw n,GPR0+4*(n)(base) > #define REST_GPR(n, base) lwz n,GPR0+4*(n)(base) > +#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN > +#define SAVE_NVGPRS(base) stmw 13, GPR0+4*13(base) > +#define REST_NVGPRS(base) lmw 13, GPR0+4*13(base) > +#else > #define SAVE_NVGPRS(base) SAVE_GPR(13, base); SAVE_8GPRS(14, base); \ > SAVE_10GPRS(22, base) > #define REST_NVGPRS(base) REST_GPR(13, base); REST_8GPRS(14, base); \ > REST_10GPRS(22, base) There is no 32-bit little endian, so this is basically dead code now. Maybe there'll be a 32-bit LE port one day, but if so we can put the code back then.
