Summary: The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU. Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this. Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by the SPE). Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not support double-precision floating point. Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary packages which utilize the SPE. Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this. This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very easy. Test Plan: This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222 (P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities (/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot multiuser.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
